Definitions
- the invention relates to tablets, preferably washing or cleaning tablets, in particular detergent tablets or compounds in tabulated form for detergents which contain silicate builder substances.
- Detergent tablets have a number of advantages over powdered detergents, such as simple dosing and low packaging volume requirements. Problems arise, however, in that relatively high compression pressures have to be used to achieve adequate dimensional stability and fracture resistance when pressing the powdery components. Because of the high degree of compaction, tablets of this type often have inadequate disintegration and dissolving properties during use. Further difficulties arise from the use of nonionic surfactants. According to the teaching of international patent application WO-A-90/02165, these problems can be solved by producing at least two granular components before the pressing, the total amount of the anionic surfactants in one component and the majority of the nonionic surfactants in the other component are included.
- the component containing anionic surfactants preferably contains up to 20% by weight of anionic surfactants including the soaps, up to 30% by weight of water-containing zeolite, inorganic salts such as amorphous silicates and carbonates up to 40% by weight, polycarboxylates up to 5% by weight. , Sulfate up to 20 wt .-% and water, which is not bound to the zeolite, to a maximum of 5 wt .-%.
- the last three statements apply equally to the second component, which also preferably contains up to 15% by weight of nonionic surfactants, up to 20% by weight of water-containing zeolite and up to 10% by weight of soda.
- Other components which contain bleaching agents and / or enzymes, for example, are also optionally present.
- Crystalline layered sodium silicates of the formula Na Si x ⁇ 2 ⁇ + ⁇ * yH2 ⁇ , where M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 and are preferred values for x 2, 3 or 4 , can substitute phosphates and zeolites.
- Such crystalline layered silicates are described, for example, in the European patent application EP-A-0 164 514.
- Preferred crystalline layered silicates are those in which M represents sodium and x assumes the values 2 or 3.
- 'sodium disilicates Na2Si2 ⁇ s * yH2 ⁇ are both .beta.- and ⁇ preferred, with beta-sodium disilicate being er ⁇ hold, for example, by the method described in International Patent Application W0-A 91/08171.
- ⁇ -sodium disilicate is commercially available under the name SKS 7 ( R )
- fr-sodium disilicate is available under the name SKS ⁇ C *) (commercial products from Hoechst AG, Federal Republic of Germany).
- These powders generally have a bulk density of less than 600 g / l and have a high proportion of fine particles, usually more than 30% by weight, with a particle size of less than 0.1 mm.
- crystalline layered silicates suffer losses in their action as builders in the spray drying of detergent-containing or detergent-containing detergents, presumably caused by the partial destruction of their crystalline structure, they should preferably be incorporated into detergent or detergent by other process methods. However, due to their high proportion of fine grains and thus their dusty structure, these powders are also not suitable for serving as an additive component to other granular constituents of detergents or cleaning agents. When granulating crystalline layered sodium silicates, it should be noted that the strong abrasive properties of these silicates can damage the apparatus.
- Amorphous alkali metal silicates in particular those with a molar M2 ⁇ : Si ⁇ 2 ⁇ ratio of 1: 1.9 to 1: 4.0, where M preferably stands for sodium and / or potassium, can generally be spray-dried, but the skilled worker knows that the spray drying of slurries which also contain zeolite in addition to the amorphous silicates leads to negative interactions, which reduces the exchange capacity of the zeolite. is set and can deposit deposits that are difficult to remove on the laundry.
- Granules which have a high proportion of amorphous silicates or pure spray-dried or granulated amorphous silicates, on the other hand, are hygroscopic, so that they have to be specially protected against the ingress of atmospheric moisture during storage.
- a further object of the invention was to offer builder forms containing builder substance which are sufficiently soluble or dispersible for the intended purpose.
- This object was achieved in that an offer form with a relatively small specific surface was chosen, which can be produced with little water.
- the invention accordingly relates to a tablet containing builder substances, this tablet containing amorphous, partially crystalline and / or crystalline layered sodium silicates of the formula Na2Si x ⁇ 2 ⁇ + ⁇ * yH2 ⁇ in amounts of 2 to 100% by weight and x containing a number of 1, 9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 and are preferred values for x 2, 3 or 4, with the proviso that the tablet contains water only in the amounts that the maximum theoretical water binding capacity of the ingredients is not exceeded.
- the maximum theoretical water binding capacity can be determined in the manner described below.
- Some components of the tablets form stable hydrates at an assumed storage temperature of 15 to 45 ° C. This applies, for example, to zeolite.
- constituents such as sodium sulfate and polymeric polycarboxylates are counted as anhydrous substances, although it is known that these are generally present in hydrated form in granules.
- Crystalline layered sodium silicates are also counted anhydrous, while amorphous sodium silicates for example, can have a water content of up to about 22% by weight.
- the sum of the crystal water proportions from the stable hydrates gives the maximum theoretical water content of the tablet according to the invention. It may even be preferred that the tablet is in over-dried form, that is to say contains less water than corresponds to the maximum theoretical water-binding capacity or can be absorbed by the tablet ingredients in a stable manner.
- the tablets can be produced in such a way that the amorphous, partially crystalline and / or crystalline layered sodium silicates and, if appropriate, all other constituents are mixed with one another in a mixer and the mixture by means of conventional tablet presses, for example eccentric presses, hydraulic presses or rotary presses with pressing pressures Range from 1 to 300 bar, advantageously in the range from about 5 to 200 bar and in particular between 10 and 150 bar.
- the compression is preferably carried out without the addition of water.
- the premixes intended for compression are produced by mixing the individual ingredients, which are present at least in part in pre-assembled form as a granular compound.
- the pressing tools are made of high-strength material.
- a tablet produced in this way preferably has a weight of 10 to 120 g, in particular 20 to 100 g, the diameter of the tablets usually being less than 100 mm .
- Preferred detergent tablets have a maximum diameter of 80 mm and in particular from 30 to 80 mm.
- These tablets preferably have a weight of 10 to 40 g, with diameters of 20 to 50 mm being preferred.
- the diameter / height ratio of the tablets should be optimized in such a way that the least possible abrasion on the vertical walls of the tabletting apparatus (high diameter / low height) with sufficient stability and a surface that is not too large (small diameter / large) Height) is guaranteed.
- Preferred diameter / height ratios of the cylindrical compacts are approximately 0.5: 1 to 10: 1, in particular 1: 1 to 8: 1.
- the content of the tablets in amorphous, partially crystalline and / or crystalline layered sodium silicates can vary within a wide range. Which quantity ranges are actually used depends on the area of application in which this tablet is to be used. If such a tablet serves as a tableted washing or cleaning agent, preferred contents of amorphous, partially crystalline and / or crystalline layered sodium silicates are 5 to 60% by weight and in particular 10 to 40% by weight. However, if such tablets are only used as a compound and in particular as a water softening tablet, preferred contents of amorphous, partially crystalline and / or crystalline layered sodium silicates are 20 to 80% by weight and in particular 30 to 60% by weight. This also applies to bleaching tablets, which can be added to a wash liquor as bleach boosters.
- the low-water to anhydrous disilicates are particularly preferred.
- the preferred amorphous silicates primarily include the known spray-dried water glasses with a Na2 ⁇ : Si ⁇ 2 weight ratio of 1: 1.9 to 1: 3.35.
- a preferred embodiment of silicates are silicate-carbonate compounds, for example those according to European patent applications EP-A-0488868 and EP-A-0561 565. Such compounds are known under the name Nabion l ⁇ ( R ) (commercial product from R ⁇ hne) -Poulenc) commercially available.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of silicates is, however, those X-ray amorphous silicates as described in the older German patent application P 4400024.3.
- tablets which contain either crystalline layered sodium silicates of the type specified or such X-ray amorphous silicates, or tablets which contain crystalline layered sodium silicates and X-ray amorphous silicates in a weight ratio of 10: 1 to 1:10.
- Particularly preferred tablets are free of the usual amorphous silicates of the water glass type or contain these amorphous silicates of the water glass type only in combination with crystalline layered sodium silicates and / or X-ray amorphous silicates, the content of amorphous silicates being Water glass type advantageously does not exceed 20% by weight and in particular 15% by weight, based in each case on the total amount of silicates present in the tablet.
- the tablets can contain up to 98% by weight of further ingredients of washing or cleaning agents. It is particularly preferred that the tablets have conventional tableting aids and / or disintegrants.

- acetates or percarbonates are preferably used in tablets containing bleach or directly in the bleaching tablets. It is customary to use disintegrants of this type in amounts of up to about 15% by weight, based on the tablet. Due to the use of water-soluble silicates, it is sufficient in most cases for the tablets according to the invention to use the disintegrants in amounts of well below 10% by weight, preferably in amounts of up to 5% by weight and in particular even less.
- disintegrants in amounts of well below 10% by weight, preferably in amounts of up to 5% by weight and in particular even less.
- amounts of around 1% by weight generally lead to very good results.
- tabletting aids ensure better cohesion of the individual powdery or granular constituents and thus contribute to the stability of the tablet.
- disintegrants which also serve as tablet auxiliaries or binders. These include, for example, starch, starch and cellulose derivatives, but also gelatin and polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
- Other preferred binders are, for example, liquid to pasty nonionic surfactants which are liquid at the processing temperature.
- the disintegrants and tableting aids are preferably used in dry form or in a form dissolved or suspended in nonionic surfactant.
- An aqueous form of use is less preferred because water may only be added during the process in such quantities that the maximum theoretical water-binding capacity of the tablet ingredients is not exceeded. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, therefore, no ingredient is in the form of an aqueous solution or suspension used and the pressing is carried out without the addition of water.
- the tablets contain in particular further customary builder substances.
- These include inorganic builder substances such as zeolite and / or phosphates or organic builder substances such as polycarboxylates and / or polymeric polycarboxylates.

- DADHT 1,5-diacetyl-2,4-dioxo-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine
- SORMAN acetylated sorbitol-mannitol mixtures
- the bleach activators can in particular also be used in granular form as a compound in the pressing.
- Bleaching detergent tablets preferably contain peroxy bleach in amounts of 5 to 30% by weight and in particular 10 to 25% by weight. Tablets which are used as bleaching tablets, ie as bleach boosters in addition to other detergent formulations, which may be in tablet form, preferably contain peroxy bleaches in amounts of 20 to 50% by weight and especially in amounts of 25 to 45% by weight. A content of percarbonate in amounts of 10 to 40% by weight can be particularly advantageous if additional peroxy bleaching agents are used in particular at low percarbonate contents below 20% by weight.
- a preferred bleaching tablet is characterized in that it contains 20 to 80% by weight, preferably 30 to 60% by weight, of amorphous, partially crystalline and / or crystalline layered sodium likates of the formula given and 20 to 50, preferably 25 to 45% by weight peroxy bleach, but does not contain zeolite.
- the tablets can also contain further ingredients of washing or cleaning agents. These include common soil release and soil repellent compounds, but also solubility improvers, graying inhibitors, foam inhibitors, optical brighteners, enzymes, fabric softening agents, and colorants and fragrances. Their content in the tablets according to the invention preferably does not exceed 10% by weight.
- the agents can therefore also contain components which have a positive influence on the oil and fat washability from textiles. This effect is particularly evident when a textile is contaminated which has already been washed several times beforehand with a detergent according to the invention which contains this oil- and fat-dissolving component.
- the preferred oil- and fat-dissolving components include, for example, nonionic cellulose ethers such as methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose with a proportion of methoxyl groups of 15 to 30% by weight and of hydroxypropoxyl groups of 1 to 15% by weight, based in each case the nonionic cellulose ether, and the polymers of phthalic acid and / or the known from the prior art Therephthalic acid or its derivatives, in particular polymers of ethylene terephthalates and / or polyethylene glycol terephthalates.
- the agents can also contain constituents which have a positive influence on the solubility of individual constituents of the tablets and thus also on the dissolution speed of the tablet itself.
- the preferred additional components used include, in particular, polyethylene glycols with a relative molecular weight of between 200 and 4000.
- Suitable foam inhibitors are, for example, soaps of natural or synthetic origin, which have a high proportion of Ci8 ⁇ C24 fatty acids.
- Suitable non-surfactant-like foam inhibitors are, for example, organopolysiloxanes and their mixtures with microfine, optionally silanized silica, and paraffins, waxes, microcrystalline waxes and their mixtures with silanized silica or bistearylethylenediamide. Mixtures of different foam inhibitors are also used with advantages, e.g. those made of silicones, paraffins or waxes.
- the foam inhibitors, in particular silicone or paraffin-containing foam inhibitors are preferably bound to a granular, water-soluble or dispersible carrier substance. Mixtures of paraffins and bistearylethylenediamides are particularly preferred.
- Suitable enzymes are those from the class of proteases, lipases, amylases, cellulases or mixtures thereof. Enzymes obtained from bacterial strains or fungi such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and Streptomyces griseus are particularly suitable. Proteases of the subtilisin type and in particular proteases which are obtained from Bacillus lentus are preferably used.
- enzyme mixtures for example of protease and aylase or protease and lipase or protease and cellulase or of cellulase and lipase or of protease, amylase and lipase or protease, lipase and cellulase, but in particular mixtures containing cellulase .
- Peroxi- In some cases, these or oxidases have proven to be suitable.
- the enzymes can be adsorbed on carriers and / or embedded in coating substances in order to protect them against premature decomposition.
- the proportion of the enzymes, enzyme mixtures or enzyme granules can be, for example, about 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to about 2% by weight.
- the salts of polyphosphonic acids in particular l-hydroxyethane-l, l-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonic acid (DETPMP) or ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid are suitable as stabilizers, in particular for per compounds and enzymes.
- Graying inhibitors have the task of keeping the dirt detached from the fiber suspended in the liquor and thus preventing graying.
- Water-soluble colloids of mostly organic nature are suitable for this, for example the water-soluble salts of polymeric carboxylic acids, glue, gelatin, salts of ether carboxylic acids or ether sulfonic acids of starch or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch.
- Water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are also suitable for this purpose. Soluble starch preparations and starch products other than those mentioned above can also be used, e.g. degraded starch, aldehyde starches, etc.
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone can also be used.
- cellulose ethers such as carboxymethyl cellulose (sodium salt), methyl cellulose, hydroxyalkyl cellulose and mixed ethers, such as methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl carboxymethyl cellulose and mixtures thereof, and also polyvinylpyrrolidone, for example in amounts of 0.1 to 5% by weight , based on the funds used.
- the agents can contain derivatives of diaminostilbenedisulfonic acid or its alkali metal salts. Suitable are, for example, salts of 4,4'-bis (2-anilino-4-morpholino-l, 3,5-triazinyl-6-amino) stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid or compounds of the same structure which contain an replace the morpholino group with a diethanolamino group, a methylamino group, an anilino group or a 2-methoxyethylamino group.
- Brighteners of the substituted diphenylstyryl type may also be present, for example the alkali salts of 4,4'-bis (2-sulfostyryl) diphenyl, 4,4'-bis (4-chloro-3-sulfostyryl) diphenyl 1 or 4- (4-chlorostyryl) -4 '- (2- sulfostyryl) diphenyls. Mixtures of the aforementioned brighteners can also be used.
- the tablets according to the invention can consist of several sub-components, as described in patent application WO-A-90/02165. So it is preferred that the tablets are produced by mixing at least 2 previously prepared powdery to granular components and then compressing this mixture, the total amount of anionic surfactants in one component and 75 to 100% by weight in the other component. -% of the total amount of nonionic surfactants is included.
- Other subcomponents can also be used to produce the tablets, these can in particular contain bleaching agents and / or bleach activators or, for example, also enzymes, defoamers and fragrances.
- the various components are not pressed into a uniform tablet, but that tablets are obtained which have several layers, that is to say at least 2 layers. It is also possible for these different layers to have different dissolution rates. This can result in advantageous application properties of the tablets. If, for example, components are contained in the tablets which mutually influence one another negatively, it is possible to integrate one component in the rapidly soluble layer and to incorporate the other component in a more slowly soluble layer, so that the first Component has already reacted when the second goes into solution.
- a tablet consists of at least three layers, that is to say two outer and at least one inner layer, wherein at least one of the inner layers contains a peroxy bleach, but the two outer layers are free of peroxy bleach ⁇ are medium.
- peroxy bleaching agents and any bleach activators and / or enzymes that may be present in one tablet.
- Such multilayer tablets have the advantage that they not only have a dispenser or can be inserted via a metering device which is added to the wash liquor; rather, it is also possible in such cases to put the tablet in direct contact with the textiles in the machine without fear of bleaching and the like.
- a washing process is also claimed in which several, but at least two tablets with the same or different composition are used for a single wash cycle.
- a combination of tablets according to the modular principle is possible.
- a water softening tablet and / or a bleaching tablet can then be used.
- the addition of a water softening tablet can be helpful in areas with very high water hardness in tap water, while the use of an additional bleaching tablet can be made dependent on the type of textiles to be washed and the stains.
- the tablet (s) can also be positioned on the laundry in the washing machine directly at the beginning of the washing process by means of a dosing container. Since high concentrations of active substances can be present at the beginning of the washing process with little moisture, the formation of stains on the laundry (for example due to the action of bleach) cannot be ruled out. This "spotting effect" is avoided, for example, by designing the dosing container like a basket. In the interior of the basket there is a water-permeable sieve or net-like receptacle for the tablets. The outer basket prevents the molded body from lying directly on the textiles. It is preferred that the sieve-like or mesh-like receptacle is relatively narrow-meshed, so that fragments from the basket only pass into the wash liquor when their maximum particle diameter is significantly less than 10 mm and advantageously less than 5 mm .
