Description

Wäßriges Reinigungsmittel Aqueous detergent
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein wäßriges Reinigungsmittel, das nichtionische Tenside enthält und zur Reinigung im Sanitärbereich geeignet ist.The present invention relates to an aqueous cleaning agent which contains nonionic surfactants and is suitable for cleaning in the sanitary field.
Bei vielen Reinigungsmitteln, wie z.B. den Sanitär-Reinigem, ist es erwünscht, daß diese viskos sind, um eine längere Einwirkzeit auf nicht-waagerechten Oberflächen zu erreichen. Der pH-Wert saurer Reinigungsmittel liegt üblicherweise zwischen 0 und 2. Ein derart niedriger pH-Wert stellt an die Stabilität der Komponenten be¬ sondere Anforderungen. Die zur Erhöhung der Viskosität eingesetzten Ver¬ dickungsmittel, z.B. Amine oder Amindehvate, liefern häufig Produkte, die nicht über einen ausreichenden Zeitraum viskositätsstabil sind. Hinzukommt, daß bei diesen Verdickern die Viskosität der Produkte stark in Abhängigkeit von der Lager¬ temperatur schwanken kann. Andere typische Verdickungsmittel wie Guar-Mehl, Xanthan Gum oder Cellulose-Derivate sind in sauren Medien nicht stabil und verlieren schnell ihre Verdicker-Eigenschaften. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Verbindungen ist, daß sie keinen Beitrag zur Reinigungsleistung der Reinigungsmittel leisten.With many cleaning agents, e.g. sanitary cleaners, it is desirable that these are viscous in order to achieve a longer exposure time on non-horizontal surfaces. The pH of acidic cleaning agents is usually between 0 and 2. Such a low pH makes special demands on the stability of the components. The thickeners used to increase the viscosity, e.g. Amines or amine dehvates often supply products that are not stable in viscosity for a sufficient period of time. In addition, in the case of these thickeners, the viscosity of the products can vary greatly as a function of the storage temperature. Other typical thickeners such as guar flour, xanthan gum or cellulose derivatives are not stable in acidic media and quickly lose their thickening properties. Another disadvantage of these compounds is that they make no contribution to the cleaning performance of the cleaning agents.
Die in neutralen und alkalischen Reinigungsmitteln eingesetzten Verdickungsmit¬ teln führen dazu, daß die Reinigungsmittel sich bei einem gegebenenfalls vorge¬ sehenen Verdünnungsvorgang nur schwer in Wasser auflösen. Neben den vorge¬ nannten Verdickungsmitteln ist dieser Nachteil auch bei synthetischen Polymeren zu beobachten.The thickeners used in neutral and alkaline detergents mean that the detergents dissolve only with difficulty in water in the event of a dilution process which may be provided. In addition to the aforementioned thickeners, this disadvantage can also be observed with synthetic polymers.
In der DE-OS 23 59 095 werden z.B. nichtionische Tenside, insbesondere tertiäre Amine, als Verdickungsmittel in Sanitär-Reinigem verwendet. Ihre Lagerstabilität ist jedoch nicht ausreichend.In DE-OS 23 59 095 e.g. nonionic surfactants, especially tertiary amines, used as thickeners in sanitary cleaners. However, their storage stability is not sufficient.
In der DE-OS 35 42 970 wird ein Sanitär-Reinigungsmittel beschrieben, das als Verdickungsmittel Alkylethersulfate, amphotere Tenside bzw. Mischungen aus nichtionischen Tensiden mit oxethylierten Aminen enthält. In dieser Schrift wird ausgeführt, daß beim Einsatz von nichtionischen Tensiden allein unerwünscht hohe Konzentrationen an Tensiden einzusetzen sind, um eine ausreichende Ver¬ dickung zu erreichen.DE-OS 35 42 970 describes a sanitary cleaning agent which contains alkyl ether sulfates, amphoteric surfactants or mixtures of nonionic surfactants with oxyethylated amines as thickeners. In this writing stated that when using nonionic surfactants alone undesirably high concentrations of surfactants are to be used in order to achieve sufficient thickening.
Aus der EP-A1-0 475 002 ist ein Sanitär-Reinigungsmittel bekannt, das aus 2 bis 40 Gew.-% Säure, 2 bis 10 Gew.-% Cιo-C18-Fettalkoholethoxylat mit 8 bis 14 EO- Einheiten und 2 bis 10 Gew.-% Verdickungsmittel besteht, worin als Verdickungsmittel ein Cιo-Cι8-Fettalkoholethoxylat mit 1 bis 7 EO-Einheiten verwendet wird und der freie Fettalkoholgehalt unter 5 % beträgt. Den Beispielen dieser Druckschrift kann entnommen werden, daß beim Einsatz von höheren Fettalkoholgehalten die Viskosität stark abnimmt. Es ist also erforderlich, die Ausgangsprodukte in hoher Reinheit einzusetzen, was die Kosten dieser Produkte erhöht.From EP-A1-0 475 002 a sanitary cleaning agent is known which consists of 2 to 40 wt .-% acid, 2 to 10 wt .-% Cιo-C 18 fatty alcohol ethoxylate with 8 to 14 EO units and 2 to 10 wt .-% thickener, in which a Cιo -CC 8 fatty alcohol ethoxylate with 1 to 7 EO units is used and the free fatty alcohol content is below 5%. The examples in this document show that the viscosity decreases sharply when higher fatty alcohol contents are used. It is therefore necessary to use the starting products in high purity, which increases the costs of these products.

Überraschenderweise wurde festgestellt, daß das Tensidgemisch aus den nicht¬ ionischen Tensiden a, b, und c, nämlich Fettalkoholalkoxylate mit unterschiedli¬ chen Alkoxylierungsgraden und Oxoalkoholalkoxylate, eine verdickende Wirkung in Reinigungsmitteln hat. Es können Reinigungsmittel erhalten werden, deren Viskosität durch Verdünnung z. B. mit Wasser über einen weiten, bei Reinigungs¬ mitteln üblichen Bereich eingestellt werden kann und die auch bei den verschiedenen pH-Werten dieser Mittel über einen langen Zeitraum stabil ist. Die erfindungsgemäßen wäßrigen Reinigungsmittel weisen vorzugsweise eine Vis¬ kosität bei 20°C von 15 s bis 90 s, gemessen im Fordbecher mit einer Öffnung von 4 mm, auf, was etwa einer Brookfield-Viskosität von 20 mPas bis 800 mPas, ge¬ messen mit Spindel 1 , entspricht. Gewünschtenfalls kann die Viskosität aber auch höher gewählt werden bis hin zu einer gelförmigen Konsistenz.Surprisingly, it was found that the surfactant mixture of the non-ionic surfactants a, b, and c, namely fatty alcohol alkoxylates with different degrees of alkoxylation and oxo alcohol alkoxylates, has a thickening effect in cleaning agents. Detergents can be obtained, the viscosity of which by dilution z. B. can be adjusted with water over a wide range customary in cleaning agents and which is stable over a long period of time even at the different pH values of these agents. The aqueous cleaning agents according to the invention preferably have a viscosity at 20 ° C. of 15 s to 90 s, measured in a Ford cup with an opening of 4 mm, which corresponds to a Brookfield viscosity of 20 mPas to 800 mPas Spindle 1 corresponds. If desired, the viscosity can also be chosen higher up to a gel-like consistency.

Soweit nichts anderes vermerkt, sind die Gehalte in Gewichtsprozent angegeben.The cleaning agents of the following examples were made by simply mixing the components. The viscosity of the agents obtained was measured according to Brookfield with spindle 1 at 20 ° C. and a suitable speed between 10 and 100 revolutions per minute (rpm). Unless otherwise noted, the contents are given in percent by weight.

Aus den Beispielen ist ersichtlich, daß die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzte Tensid- kombination eine verdickende Wirkung auf das Reingungsmittel hat. Dabei werden als Verdicker nur Verbindungen verwendet, die gleichzeitig zur Reinigungsleistung der Mittel beitragen. The examples show that the surfactant combination used according to the invention has a thickening effect on the cleaning agent. Only compounds that simultaneously contribute to the cleaning performance of the agents are used as thickeners.
