Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing washing and cleaning agents from colored particles.
- Universal detergents sometimes contain colorants in the form of speckles. Commonly used colors are green and blue. The colorants serve e.g. to compensate for the yellowing of washed fabrics or to dye the particles and thus make detergents more appealing to consumers.
- European patent application EP 0 138 410 describes a process for producing colored detergent powder, in which a particulate colorant, for example in a screw conveyor, is intensively mixed with a detergent powder and a colored detergent powder can be obtained in this way.
- Ultramarine blue, Duasyn Acid Blue and Polar Brilliant Blue are used as colorants.
- US Pat. No. 3,519,054 describes a process for the production of multicolored particulate products, in which two liquid streams in the form of droplets are dried in countercurrent and one colorant is added to one or both liquid streams, the droplets being converted into dried, multicolored particles.
- Ultramarine blue for example, is used as the colorant.
- Other examples include Phthalocyanine blue, indigo, rhodamine
- Pigment Pigment, azo ruby, chrome orange, alizarin, indanthrene yellow, phthalocyanine green, wool violet or anthraquinone violet.
- Powder detergents are also known from the prior art which contain colored, mostly green or blue, speckles in the powder.
- the colored particles are often colored detergent additives, such as. B. bleach activator particles.
- DE-A-195 42 830 discloses colored particles for incorporation in detergents or cleaning agents which contain surfactants, builders and / or bleaches and a colorant which can be partially or completely oxidatively destroyed in the washing process.
- These colored particles are produced using a process in which the individual components and the colorant are slurried in water to form a slurry and then subjected to spray drying. In this method, however, the washing or cleaning agents are packaged in the presence of the dye solutions. As a result, considerable dye contamination occurs in the production plants, which necessitates a disproportionate cleaning effort.
- the object of the present invention is accordingly to provide a process for the production of colored detergent or cleaning agent particles for incorporation into detergent or cleaning agent which does not have the disadvantages existing in the prior art.
- the present invention thus relates to a process for the production of detergents and cleaning agents from colored particles which contain surfactants, builders and / or bleaches and a coloring agent, characterized in that (A) the powdering agent and the coloring agent are slurried and subjected to spray drying and (B) the colored and spray-dried powder is then applied to detergent or cleaning agent particles, the process steps (A) and (B) being carried out in separate steps (claim 1).
- step (A) the process according to the invention is preferably carried out as a spray drying process.
- powder and coloring agents are first slurried and then form a "slurry".
- this "slurry” is then typically spray dried by blowing hot air from below.
- germs can also be added to accelerate particle formation.
- the person skilled in the art is familiar with the suitable procedure.
- This process step uniformly colored, homogeneous Powder particles are obtained, which are then used to dye washing and
- Detergents can be used.
- Uncolored detergent particles are produced in parallel with the production of the colored powder.
- the colored powder is finally transferred from the spray drying tower to a separate plant after step (B) of the process. There, the powdering of the undyed detergent particles is then carried out with the separately produced, colored powdering agent. The powdering process with the colored powder particles is thus carried out as a separate step from the production of the same.
- colored particles suitable for incorporation into a detergent and cleaning agent are those which, in addition to the coloring agent, contain at least one further component which contributes to the washing or cleaning performance of the detergents and cleaning agents.
- the particles produced by the process according to the invention can be used as constituents of general-purpose detergents or as general-purpose detergents themselves, the colorants — depending on the choice of the dye — either being oxidatively destroyed in the wash liquor very quickly and thus giving off no color to the laundry even at high washing temperatures or they can be used for dyeing laundry while giving off color during the washing process. It is also possible to use color mixtures which, in addition to oxidatively destructible colorants for washing and cleaning agents, contain blue dyes which serve as blue tones to compensate for the yellowing of washed fabrics.
- colorants which can be oxidatively destroyed in the washing process, and also mixtures thereof with suitable blue dyes, so-called blue toners. It has proven to be advantageous to use colorants that are soluble in water or at room temperature in liquid organic substances.
- anionic colorants for example anionic nitroso dyes, are suitable.
- Colorant is, for example, naphthol green (Color Index (CI) Part 1: Acid Green 1: Part
- Pigmosol ® Green 8730 (CI 74260), Basonyl ® Red 545 FL (CI 45170), Sandolan ®
- Rhodamine EB400 (CI 45100), Basacid ® Yellow 094 (CI 47005), Sicovit ® Patent Blue 85 E.
- N-7GL SGR (CAS 61814-57-1, CI Acidyellow 218) and / or Sandolan ® Blau (CI Acid Blue 182, CAS 12219-26-0).
- colorants When choosing the colorant, care must be taken to ensure that the colorants do not have too strong an affinity for the textile surfaces and in particular for synthetic fibers. At the same time, when choosing suitable colorants, it must also be taken into account that colorants have different stability to oxidation. In general, water-insoluble colorants are more stable to oxidation than water-soluble colorants. Depending on the solubility and thus also on the sensitivity to oxidation, the concentration of the colorant in the washing or cleaning agents varies. In the case of colorants which are readily water-soluble, e.g. the above
- the colorants used for the production should be sufficiently alkaline and heat-resistant and should not stain the laundry or components of the washing machine even after multiple washes, and at the same time should not have any substantivity towards textile fibers, so that they do not stain the laundry.
- the color absorbed onto the textiles should be destroyed by reaction with the oxidizing agent, so that a coloring of the textiles, in particular over several washing cycles, is avoided.
- the colorant is therefore partially or completely destroyed by oxidation in the washing process.
- the oxidative reaction of the coloring agents with an oxidizing agent should be as fast as possible so that the coloring agent decomposes as soon as it comes into contact with the oxidizing agent. If the particles produced by the process according to the invention come into contact with water, as a rule a colored wash liquor is formed first, which is bleached within a short time by the bleaching agent, which also dissolves on contact with water.
- the colored wash liquor is decolorized at 60 ° C., preferably within 5 to 10 minutes after dissolving in water, to a degree of at least 50%, particularly preferably at least 80%, in particular at least 90%.
- the degree of oxidative decomposition of the colorant can be determined, for example, by means of absorbance measurements by measuring the extinction E 0 of the wash liquor with a known concentration C 0 of colorant and the extinction egg of the wash liquor after a defined time. From the determined extinction values the amount of colorant C 0 still present can be calculated from Lambert-Beer law. The rate of oxidation of the colorant should be greater, the higher the substantivity towards the laundry.
- the colored particles or detergents or cleaning agents which contain these particles and are produced by the process according to the invention preferably have such a low substantivity towards textiles that after 25 washing cycles with cotton textiles which have a whiteness of more than 200, the color deviation number according to Ganz Grieser is between -1.5 to ⁇ 2.5.
- Suitable oxidizing agents are, for example, the substances usually present in the washing and cleaning agents as bleaching agents. These include in particular the compounds which supply H 2 O 2 in water. Among them, sodium perborate tetrahydrate and sodium perborate monohydrate are particularly important. Further usable bleaching agents are, for example, sodium percarbonate, peroxypyrophosphates, citrate perhydrates and HO 2 -supplying acid salts or peracids, such as perbenzoates, peroxophthalates, diperazelaic acid or diperdodecanedioic acid. In order to decolorize the colorant as completely as possible and in the period mentioned above, the oxidizing agent should be present in a sufficient amount.
- the colorant can be used without a separately added oxidizing agent.
- the colorant and the oxidizing agent can be present in a weight ratio of up to about 1 to 10 4 , preferably 1: 100 to 8 x 10 3 , the amount of oxidizing agent should be kept as low as possible in order to protect the colors of the textiles.
- the colorant and the bleaching agent for decoloring the colorant are therefore preferably in a weight ratio of up to 1: 500.
- the detergent and cleaning agent produced by the process according to the invention can be a universal, a color or a mild detergent. If the detergent is a mild detergent, it should, unless the colorant is in the presence of water is already oxidized by oxygen, in addition to the bleaching agent required for the oxidation of the colorant, contains no further bleaching agents.
- the detergents and cleaning agents produced by a process according to the invention in which the bleaching agents should also contribute to the washing power, such as for removing bleachable stains, have a total bleaching agent content of preferably 5 to 30% by weight and in particular 10 to 25% by weight .-% on.
- the process is carried out using colored particles which contain bleach activator.
- the effect of the oxidizing or bleaching agents can namely be increased considerably by adding so-called bleach activators.

- B. salts of 4,4'-bis (2-anilino-4-morpholino-1, 3,5-triazinyl-6-amino) stilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid or compounds of the same structure which are used instead of the morpholino group carry a diethanolamino group, a methylamino group, an anilino group or a 2-methoxyethylamino group.
- brighteners of the substituted diphenylstyryl type may be present, e.g. B.
- the colored powder agents listed under Examples 1 to 4 were examined as constituents of colored detergents.
- White cotton fabrics were washed 25 times at 90 ° C using 150 g of the detergent per wash.
- the discoloration of the textiles was determined visually and by measurement technology in accordance with DIN 5033 and the guideline RAL-RG 992 "Quality assurance for proper laundry care".
- detergents according to the invention produced with the colored powder according to Example 1, no blue discolouration of the textiles was found in comparison to powder free of colorants. Just as little was green discoloration of the textiles observed by detergents according to the invention, dyed with the aid of powders according to Examples 2 to 4, in comparison with powder free of colorants.
- the dye concentrations prove to be so high that complete oxidative decomposition of the colorants can no longer be guaranteed.
