Definitions

  • the invention relates to granular detergents having bulk densities above 600 g / l, which separately or subsequently admixed organic acids, in particular citric acid, and are particularly suitable for cleaning colored textiles, and a method for producing the granular detergent. Furthermore, the use of the agents in machine washing processes at temperatures up to 60 ° C claimed.
  • Citric acid has long been known as a detergent ingredient. It was used primarily to reduce the pH of the mostly strong alkaline agent in the aqueous liquor, the added benefit was achieved that both the citric acid and obtained by the neutralization of citric acid citrate (Co) have builder properties.
  • German Patent Application DE-A-28 27 571 generally describes laundry detergents which comprise a granular alkaline, in particular carbonate-containing, slower-dissolving component and from 5 to 30% by weight of a separate organic acid, preferably citric acid.
  • a separate organic acid preferably citric acid.
  • This is achieved as part of an "acid prewash" in commercial household washing machines already at temperatures of 25 ° C by already dissolving at these temperatures citric acid softening of the liquor, so that at temperatures around 40 ° C at the beginning of dissolution of the alkaline component, the liquor already softened so that the risk of the formation of calcium carbonate and thus the formation of calcium carbonate residues on the textiles is largely minimized.
  • Other components of the means include, but are not limited to: Peroxy bleach such as perborates.
  • the citric acid which adjusts the pH in 1% solution in water at 20 ° C to between 7 and 9.3 should be lowered, added later, as in Mitversprühung the citric acid in the spray-dried slurry, the neutralization of the citric acid would already be in the slurry and not - as desired - would take place in the aqueous wash liquor.
  • the particle size distribution of the separately added citric acid again plays no role. Due to the relatively low pH in the aqueous liquor, the colors of colored textiles should be better preserved.
  • Granular detergents having a bulk density of 650 to 1100 g / l, which anionic and / or nonionic surfactants and as builder materials u.a. Contain 5 to 30 wt .-% sodium carbonate and / or bicarbonate and / or sesquicarbonate, according to the teaching of European Patent EP-B-0 534 525 (Henkel) good dispersing properties in the aqueous liquor, if they are used as further component contain up to 15 wt .-% subsequently added citric acid, said citric acid must have at least 80 wt .-% of particles having a particle size of 350 and 1500 microns. Both smaller particle sizes and coarser granules do not lead to the desired effect of increased dispersion in aqueous liquor.
  • Other common ingredients include peroxy bleaches in the compositions.
  • bleach and especially peroxy bleach such as perborate or percarbonate in detergents usually in amounts of 15 wt .-% and above used to remove bleachable stains from textiles.
  • Bleaching agents however, not only have the effect of removing bleachable stains from textiles, they also often attack colored fabrics, especially in the oxidation-sensitive grades of textile dyes, so that over time the intensity of the textile dyes diminishes and the fabrics look "washed out” .
  • the use of bleaching agents can also lead to punctiform color removal on the textiles, the so-called pinhole spotting effect.
  • detergents are commercially available which are explicitly used for colored textiles and therefore have no or only small amounts, for example less than 10 wt .-%, based on the total agent, of bleaching agents. With such small amounts, the bleaching agent is for hygienic purposes only; the risk of color removal or staining of the textiles by the bleach are then almost impossible. Nonetheless, stain removal from colored textiles is still a problem.
  • the invention therefore provides a granular detergent as defined in claim 1.
  • the invention also provides a process for the preparation of a granular detergent having the features defined in claim 4.
  • organic acids it is preferred to use those which are known to also have a significant builder effect. These organic acids include all those which are already listed in the German patent application DE 28 27 571.
  • the polyhydroxydicarboxylic acids mentioned in international patent application WO-A-94/04650 can also be used. Particularly preferred are citric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid and / or malic acid. But also acid anhydrides count in the context of the present invention to the organic acids; Here, especially succinic anhydride and maleic anhydride are preferred. With particular preference, citric acid is used.
  • citric acid has a better bleaching performance over a wide variety of stains than, for example, tartaric acid, although tartaric acid can achieve better results on targeted stains in the bleaching area than citric acid.
  • the organic acids / organic acid anhydrides are used as raw material, ie not in the form of a processed compound and are therefore present in the inventive compositions as a separate or subsequently admixed component.
  • syntheticly admixed is meant that the organic acid is mixed as one of several components with the other components to the detergent.
  • all other components are first prepared and optionally premixed with each other and possibly further shaping steps of the mixed components are carried out and the organic acid is added afterwards, ie "subsequently added”.
  • the organic acids can be mixed in their commercial form with the other components.
  • Finer-particle grades with at least 80% by weight smaller than 350 ⁇ m or coarser qualities with at least 80% by weight greater than 1500 ⁇ m are available.
  • the coarser product with particle diameters of at least 80 wt .-% greater than 1500 microns is used in the inventive compositions without sacrificing performance.
  • This coarser article may even be aesthetically advantageous when blended into components which also have a coarser grain spectrum, for example granules or extrudates, which may optionally be rounded, and at least 80% by weight of particles having a particle diameter above 400 microns, and in particular those having an average particle diameter of 0.8 to 1.4 mm.
  • a coarser product of organic acids, as defined in claim 4, in particular citric acid, consists of at least 80 wt .-% of particles having a particle size between 1500 and 2000 microns. Even more finely divided product (80 wt .-% less than 350 microns) can be used in principle. However, it then preferably serves for dusting off the granular components and should advantageously not be present as a separate component in the agents. According to claim 1, in addition to the above-mentioned coarse-grained quality with at least 80 wt .-% of particles having a particle diameter greater than 1500 microns and this finely divided product with particle diameters of at least 80 wt .-% less than 350 microns.
  • Granular detergents are understood to mean particulate detergents which comprise at least 60% by weight of particles having a particle size of more than 350 ⁇ m and preferably contain at least one component which has at least 80% by weight a particle size of more than 350 ⁇ m.
  • the granular agents consist of at least 60% by weight, preferably from 70 to 100% by weight, of components which have at least 80% by weight of a particle size of more than 350 ⁇ m.
  • the bulk density of the funds is of less importance, since the effect of the invention is not dependent on the bulk density.
  • compact detergents or so-called concentrates having bulk densities above 600 g / l are preferred.
  • Granular detergents having bulk densities between 650 and 1100 g / l are claimed according to the invention, bulk densities above 700 g / l and in particular above 750 g / l being particularly preferred.
  • the organic acids / organic acid anhydrides are used in the inventive compositions in amounts of from 1 to 15 wt .-%, but preferably in amounts of less than 10 wt .-% and in particular in amounts of 2 to 6 wt .-%.

  • a content of nonionic surfactants above 12 wt .-% may in principle lead to a further increase in the performance of the funds, however, it has been found in several cases that the granular agents with such high Niotensidiere increasingly lose flowability and sticking can tend to clumping. For this reason, amounts of nonionic surfactants above 12 wt .-% are not particularly preferred.
  • Nonionic surfactants of at least 1: 1, preferably of 2.5: 1 to 1.1: 1, have proven to be particularly advantageous, in particular if the soap content, based on the total surfactant content, is at most 5% by weight ,

This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions of size 10 to a few hundred nm, values of up to max. 50 nm and in particular up to max. 20 nm are preferred.
  • Such so-called X-ray amorphous silicates which likewise have a dissolution delay compared with the conventional water glasses, are described, for example, in German patent application DE-A-44 00 024. Particularly preferred are compacted / compacted amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and overdried X-ray amorphous silicates.
