GLYCIN-N, N-DI-ACETIC ACID DERIVATIVES AS ORGANIC COBUI LDER IN TEXTILE DETERGENT FORMULATIONS

description

The present invention relates to a solid textile detergent formulation from inorganic builders based on silicate, alumosilicate, carbonate and / or phosphate, glycine-N, N-diacetic acid derivatives as organic cobuilders and anionic and non-ionic surfactants .

Conventional powder detergents for textiles contain large amounts of poorly or insoluble builders (scent substances), such as zeolites or silicates, which are necessary in order to achieve a high primary and secondary washing power. This high proportion of components which are insoluble in the wash liquor also severely affects the overall solubility of the detergent formulation.

The object was to provide a solid textile detergent formulation with improved solubility of the builder system without adverse effects, in particular on the primary detergent capacity.

WO-A 94/29421 (1) describes the use of Glycm-N, N-dies - acetic acid derivatives as biodegradable complexing agents for alkaline earth and heavy metal ions and others. known in the washing and cleaning sector. So it is mentioned there that such

Glycιn-N, N-dιessigsaure derivatives can generally be used as complexing agents or as builders in powder detergent formulations for textile washing.

35 In Japanese Laid-Open Publications 1980/157695 (2) and

1980/160099 (3) describes solid detergent compositions for textile washing which contain N, N-bis (carboxymethyl) amino acids such as N, N-bis (carboxymethyl) alanine, surfactants, sodium metasilicate and, as a further bullder component, imidobissulfates.

The textile detergent formulation according to the invention is solid, i. H. is usually in powder or granule form or in extrudate or tablet form.

The powder or granular detergents according to the invention can contain up to 60% by weight of inorganic adjusting agents. Sodium sulfate is usually used for this. However, the detergents according to the invention are preferably low in detergents and contain only up to 20% by weight, particularly preferably only up to 8% by weight of detergents, in particular in the case of compact or ultra-compact detergents. The solid detergents according to the invention can have different rubble densities in the range from 300 to 1300 g / l, in particular from 550 to 1200 g / l. Modern compact laundry detergents generally have high rubble densities and show a granular structure. The processes customary in the art can be used for the desired compression of the detergents. The textile detergent formulation according to the invention is produced by customary methods and, if appropriate, is made up.

By using the glycine N, N-diacetic acid derivatives I 5 as component (B) it is possible to reduce the amount of insoluble constituents in the builder system, consisting of one or more organic builders and one or more organic cobuilers thereby improving the solubility of the entire builder system and thus also of the detergent, with the application properties (primary and

Secondary washing capacity) can be maintained or even improved.

Examples

In Table 2, examples of compositions of modern granular detergent formulations A to M are compiled. The application test results relate to the textile detergent formulations A to C contained in Table 2.

Detergent formulations A, B and C were used to test the application properties. Formulations B and C contained the organic cobuilder according to the invention α D, L alanine N, N-diacetic acid (methylglycine-N, N-diacetic acid, MGDA). For comparison, the formulations B and C, which did not contain any organic cobuilder, were prepared analogously to B and C.

Washing experiments were carried out with these formulations, and both the primary washing capacity and the incrustation mixing were determined.

Washing conditions Primary washability

Device: Launder-o meter from Atlas, Chicago,

United States Waεchf soldered: 250 ml washing time: 30 min. At 60 ° C.

Detergent dosage 4.5 g / l

Water hardness: 3 mmol Ca: Mg 3: 1 liquor ratio 1: 12.5 test fabric: WFK IOD, WFK 20D (WFK-Teεtgewebe GmbH,

D-41379 Brüggen-Bracht)

EMPA 101, EPMA 104 (Federal Material Testing Institute, St. Gallen, Switzerland)

The washed test fabrics were measured with a photometer from Datacolor (Elrepho® 2000). The sum values of the individual püfy fabrics obtained by multiple measurements are given in each case by means of remission mean values obtained by multiple measurements.

Washing conditions incrustation

Device: Launder-o-meter from Atlas, Chicago,

U.S. washing liquor: 250 ml washing time: 30 min at 60 ° C washing cycles: 15

Detergent dosage 4.5 g / l

Water hardness: 4 mmol Ca: Mg 4: 1 liquor ratio 1: 12.5 test fabric: cotton-nettle fabric

The detergent formulations described in the table were each used to wash test fabrics made of cotton. The number of washing cycles was 15. After this number of washes, the ash content of the fabric was determined by ashing the test fabric at 700 ° C. in each case.

Table 1

Washing results

Examples VI, V2 and V3 show that by reducing the proportion of builder by 10 to 16%, the incrustation increases significantly and at the same time the primary washing power of the formulation deteriorates. If one replaces half of the reduced proportion of the builder with the Cobuilder MGDA according to the invention (example 1 with 5% MGDA, example 2 with 8% MGDA), then the increment inhibition and the primary washing power are significantly improved, and even that is exceeded with complete Buildersystem formulated comparative detergent A (VI).

The cobuilder according to the invention thus makes it possible to reduce the insoluble proportions of the detergent formulations, while at the same time improving the primary washing ability and the incrustation inhibition.
