Definitions
- the present invention relates to detergent tablets which contain alkylbenzenesulfonate (s) and disintegration aids based on cellulose and are combined with a special packaging system to ensure better disintegration times and high hardness at the same time.
- the invention relates to such specially packaged shaped articles such as detergent tablets, detergent tablets, bleach tablets or water softener tablets with alkylbenzenesulfonate (s) and disintegration aid (s) based on cellulose.
- the dichotomy between a sufficiently hard molded body and a sufficiently rapid disintegration time is a central problem. Since sufficiently stable, that is to say shape and break-resistant, molded bodies can only be produced by relatively high compression pressures, there is a strong compression of the components of the molded body and to a consequent delayed disintegration of the shaped body in the aqueous liquor and thus to a slow release of the active substances in the washing or. Cleaning process.
- the delayed disintegration of the moldings has the further disadvantage that conventional detergent tablets cannot be washed in via the washing-in chamber of household washing machines, since the tablets do not disintegrate into secondary particles that are small enough to pass from the washing-in chamber into the washing drum in a sufficiently rapid time to be washed in.
- the present invention was based on the object of utilizing the advantages of the use of alkylbenzenesulfonates also in detergent tablets which contain cellulose-based disintegration auxiliaries and thereby provide moldings which are distinguished by high hardness and short disintegration times.
- the shaped bodies should have disintegration times so short that dosing via the dispensing chamber of household washing machines is possible without problems and without residues.
- the present invention relates to a combination of (a) detergent shaped body (s); which contains alkylbenzene sulfonate (s) and disintegration aid based on cellulose and a packaging system containing the detergent tablets or detergent tablets, the packaging system having a moisture vapor transmission rate of 0.1 g / m 2 / day to less than 20 g / m 2 / day if the packaging system is stored at 23 ° C and a relative equilibrium humidity of 85%.
- the packaging system of the combination of detergent tablets (s) and packaging system has a moisture vapor permeability rate of 0.1 g / m / day to less than 20 g / m / day when the packaging system is 23 ° C and a relative equilibrium humidity of 85% is stored.
- the specified temperature and humidity conditions are the test conditions that are mentioned in the DIN standard 53122, whereby according to DIN 53122 minimal deviations are permitted (23 ⁇ 1 ° C, 85 ⁇ 2% relative humidity).
- the moisture vapor permeability rate of a given packaging system or material can be determined by further standard methods and is also, for example, in the ASTM standard E-96-53T ("Test for measuring Water Vapor transmission of Materials in Sheet form") and in the TAPPI standard T464 m- 45 ("Water Vapor Permeability of Sheet Materials at high temperature an Humidity").
- the measuring principle of current methods is based on the water absorption of anhydrous calcium chloride, which is stored in a container in the appropriate atmosphere, the container being closed at the top with the material to be tested.
- the moisture vapor permeability rate can be determined from the surface of the container which is sealed with the material to be tested (permeation surface), the weight increase in calcium chloride and the exposure time
- A is the area of the material to be tested in cm
- x is the weight increase of calcium chloride in g
- y is the exposure time in h.
- the relative equilibrium humidity is 85% at 23 ° C. when measuring the moisture vapor permeability rate within the scope of the present invention.
- the absorption capacity of air for water vapor increases with temperature up to a respective maximum content, the so-called saturation content. and is given in g / m 3.
- saturation content the so-called saturation content.
- the relative equilibrium humidity of 85% at 23 ° C can be adjusted to +/- 2% r.L. in laboratory chambers with humidity control, for example, depending on the device type. adjust exactly. Even over saturated solutions of certain salts, constant and well-defined relative air humidities form in closed systems at a given temperature, which are based on the phase equilibrium between the partial pressure of the water, the saturated solution and the soil.

- the phosphates combine several advantages: They act as alkali carriers, prevent lime deposits on machine parts or lime incrustations in tissues and also contribute to cleaning performance.
- Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, NaH 2 PO 4 exists as a dihydrate (density 1.91 like “3 , melting point 60 °) and as a monohydrate (density 2.04 like “ 3 ). Both salts are white, water-soluble powders, which lose water of crystallization when heated and into the weakly acidic diphosphate (disodium hydrogen diphosphate, Na 2 H 2 P 2 O) at 200 ° C, and at higher temperature in sodium trimetaphosphate (Na 3 P 3 O 9 ) and Maddrell's salt (see below).
- NaH 2 PO 4 is acidic; it occurs when phosphoric acid is adjusted to pH 4.5 with sodium hydroxide solution and the mash is sprayed.
- Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (primary or monobasic potassium phosphate, potassium biphosphate, KDP), KH 2 PO 4 , is a white salt with a density of 2.33 "3 , has a melting point of 253 ° [decomposition to form potassium polyphosphate (KPO 3 ) x ] and is easily soluble in water.
- Trisodium phosphate, tertiary sodium phosphate, Na 3 PO 4 are colorless crystals which, as dodecahydrate, have a density of 1.62 gcm " and a melting point of 73-76 ° C (decomposition), as decahydrate (corresponding to 19-20% P 2 O 5 ) have a melting point of 100 ° C. and, in anhydrous form (corresponding to 39-40% P 2 O 5 ), a density of 2.536 ′′ 3 .
- Trisodium phosphate is readily soluble in water with an alkaline reaction and is produced by evaporating a solution of exactly 1 mol of disodium phosphate and 1 mol of NaOH.
- Tripotassium phosphate (tertiary or triphase potassium phosphate), K 3 PO, is a white, deliquescent, granular powder with a density of 2.56 "3 , has a melting point of 1340 ° and is easily soluble in water with an alkaline reaction. It arises, for example, when heating Thomas slag with coal and potassium sulfate. Despite the higher price, the more soluble, therefore highly effective, potassium phosphates are often preferred over corresponding sodium compounds in the cleaning agent industry.
- Tetrasodium diphosphate (sodium pyrophosphate), Na 4 P 2 O, exists in anhydrous form (density 2.534 like “3 , melting point 988 °, also given 880 °) and as decahydrate (density 1.815-1.836 like " 3 , melting point 94 ° with loss of water). Substances are colorless crystals that are soluble in water with an alkaline reaction. Na 4 P 2 O is formed by heating disodium phosphate to> 200 ° or by reacting phosphoric acid with soda in a stoichiometric ratio and dewatering the solution by spraying. The decahydrate complexes heavy metal salts and hardness formers and therefore reduces the hardness of the water.
- Sodium and potassium phosphates in which a distinction can be made between cyclic representatives, the sodium and potassium metaphosphates, and chain-like types, the sodium and potassium polyphosphates. A large number of terms are used in particular for the latter: melt or glow phosphates, Graham's salt, Kurrol's and Maddrell's salt. All higher sodium and potassium phosphates are collectively referred to as condensed phosphates.
- pentasodium triphosphate In the production of pentasodium triphosphate, phosphoric acid is reacted with sodium carbonate solution or sodium hydroxide solution in a stoichiometric ratio and the solution is sprayed off. watered. Similar to Graham's salt and sodium diphosphate, pentasodium triphosphate dissolves many insoluble metal compounds (including lime soaps, etc.). Pentapotassium triphosphate, K 5 P 3 O ⁇ 0 (potassium tripolyphosphate), for example in the form of a 50 wt .-% solution (> 23% P 2 O 5 , 25% K 2 O) on the market.
- the potassium polyphosphates are widely used in the detergent and cleaning agent industry. There are also sodium potassium tripolyphosphates which can also be used in the context of the present invention. These occur, for example, when hydrolyzing sodium trimetaphosphate with KOH:

- a possible colorant is, for example, naphthol green (Color Index (CI) Part 1: Acid Green 1; Part 2:
- the colorants do not have too strong an affinity for the textile surfaces and especially for synthetic fibers.
- suitable colorants it must also be taken into account that colorants have different stabilities against oxidation.
- water-insoluble colorants are more stable to oxidation than water-soluble colorants.
- concentration of the colorant in the washing or cleaning depends on the solubility and thus also on the sensitivity to oxidation, the concentration of the colorant in the washing or cleaning

- the content of the detergent tablets in the combinations of fragrances according to the invention is usually up to 2% by weight of the total formulation.
- the fragrances can be incorporated directly into the agents according to the invention, but it can also be advantageous to apply the fragrances to carriers which increase the adhesion of the perfume to the laundry and ensure a long-lasting fragrance of the textiles due to a slower fragrance release.
- Cyclodextrins for example, have proven useful as such carrier materials, and the cyclodextrin-perfume complexes can additionally be coated with further auxiliaries.
- 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 amylase 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, are of particular interest.

- washable and cleaning-active molded articles is carried out by applying pressure to a mixture to be pressed, which is located in the cavity of a press.
- a mixture to be tabletted is pressed directly, ie without prior granulation.
- the advantages of this so-called direct tableting are its simple and inexpensive application, since no further process steps and consequently no further plants are required.
- these advantages are offset by disadvantages.
- a powder mixture that is to be tabletted directly must have sufficient plastic deformability and have good flow properties. Furthermore, it must not show any tendency to segregate during storage, transport and filling of the die.
- detergent tablets are extremely difficult to master with many substance mixtures, so that direct tableting is not often used, particularly in the production of detergent tablets.
- the usual way of producing detergent tablets is therefore based on powdery components (“primary particles”) which are agglomerated or granulated by suitable processes to form secondary particles with a larger particle diameter. These granules or mixtures of different granules are then mixed with individual powdery additives and fed to the tableting.
- Preferred detergent tablets in the context of the present invention are obtained by pressing a particulate premix comprising at least one surfactant-containing granulate and at least one subsequently admixed powdery component.
- the surfactant-containing granules can be produced using conventional granulation processes such as mixer and plate granulation, fluidized bed granulation, extrusion, pelleting or compacting. It is advantageous for the later detergent tablets if the premix to be pressed has a bulk density of at least 500 g / 1, preferably at least 600 g / 1 and in particular above 700 g / 1. Another advantage can result from a narrower particle size distribution of the surfactant granules used.
- detergent tablets are preferred in which the granules latex particle sizes between 10 and 4000 microns, preferably between 100 and 2000 microns and in particular between 600 and 1400 microns.
- the premix Before the particulate premix is pressed into detergent tablets, the premix can be "powdered” with finely divided surface treatment agents. This can be of advantage for the nature and physical properties of both the premix (storage, pressing) and the finished detergent tablets. Finely divided powdering agents are well known in the art, mostly zeolites, silicates or other inorganic salts being used. However, the premix is preferably “powdered” with finely divided zeolite, zeolites of the faujasite type being preferred. In the context of the present invention, the term “zeolite of the faujasite type” denotes all three zeolites which form the faujasite subgraup of the zeolite structure tier 4 (compare Donald W.
- Mixtures or cocrystallizates of zeolites of the faujasite type with other zeolites, which do not necessarily have to belong to the zeolite structure group 4, can also be used as powdering agents, it being advantageous if at least 50% by weight of the powdering agent is removed a zeolite of the faujasite type.
- detergent tablets consist of a particulate premix which contains granular components and subsequently admixed powdery substances, the or one of the subsequently admixed powdery components being a zeolite of the faujasite type with particle sizes below 100 ⁇ m, is preferably below 10 ⁇ m and in particular below 5 ⁇ m and is at least 0.2% by weight, preferably at least 0.5% by weight and in particular more than 1% by weight of the premix to be treated.
- the finely divided processing components with the above-mentioned particle sizes can be dry mixed into the premix to be treated. It is also possible and preferred to "stick" them by adding small amounts of liquid substances to the surface of the coarser particles.
- Non-ionic surfactants or aqueous solutions of surfactants or other detergent ingredients can be used as liquid components which are suitable for promoting the adhesion of the powdering agents.
- perfume it is preferred to use perfume as the liquid adhesion promoter between the finely divided powdering agent and the coarse-grained particles.
- the premixes are compacted in a so-called die between two punches to form a solid compressed product.
- This process which is briefly referred to as tableting in the following, is divided into four sections: metering, compression (elastic deformation), plastic deformation and ejection.
- Tableting takes place in commercially available tablet presses, which can in principle be equipped with single or double punches. In the latter case, not only is the upper stamp used to build up pressure, the lower stamp also moves towards the upper stamp during the pressing process, while the upper stamp presses down.
- eccentric tablet presses are preferably used, in which the punch or stamps are fastened to an eccentric disc, which in turn is mounted on an axis with a certain rotational speed. The movement of these rams is comparable to that of a conventional four-stroke engine.
- the pressing can take place with one upper and one lower punch, but several punches can also be attached to one eccentric disc, the number of die holes being correspondingly increased.
- the throughputs of eccentric presses vary depending on the type from a few hundred to a maximum of 3000 tablets per hour.
- rotary tablet presses are selected in which a larger number of dies is arranged in a circle on a so-called die table.
- the number of matrices varies between 6 and 55 depending on the model, although larger matrices are also commercially available.
- Each die on the die table is an upper and lower Assigned stamp, again the pressure can be built up actively only by the upper or lower stamp, but also by both stamps.
- the die table and the stamps move about a common vertical axis, the stamps being brought into the positions for filling, compaction, plastic deformation and ejection by means of rail-like cam tracks during the rotation.
- these cam tracks are supported by additional low-pressure pieces, low-tension rails and lifting tracks.
- the die is filled via a rigidly arranged feed device, the so-called filling shoe, which is connected to a storage container for the premix.
- the pressing pressure on the premix can be individually adjusted via the pressing paths for the upper and lower punches, with the build-up of the pressure taking place by the rolling of the stamp shaft heads past adjustable pressure rollers.
- Rotary presses can also be provided with two filling shoes to increase the throughput, with only a semicircle having to be run through to produce a tablet.
- several filling shoes are arranged one behind the other without the slightly pressed first layer being ejected before further filling.
- jacket and dot tablets can also be produced in this way, which have an onion-shell-like structure, the top side of the core or core layers not being covered in the case of the dot tablets and thus remaining visible.
- Rotary tablet presses can also be equipped with single or multiple tools, so that, for example, an outer circle with 50 and an inner circle with 35 holes can be used simultaneously for pressing.
- the throughputs of modern rotary tablet presses are over one million molded articles per hour.
- Non-stick coatings known from the art are suitable for reducing stamp caking.
- Plastic coatings, plastic inserts or plastic stamps are particularly advantageous.
- Rotating punches have also proven to be advantageous, with the upper and lower punches being designed to be rotatable if possible.
- a plastic insert can generally be dispensed with.
- the stamp surfaces should be electropolished here.
- Tableting machines suitable within the scope of the present invention are available, for example, from the companies Apparatebau Holzwarth GbR, Asperg, Wilhelm Fette GmbH, Schwarzenbek, Hofer GmbH, Weil, Hom & Noack Pharmatechnik GmbH, Worms, IMA Ve ⁇ ackungssysteme GmbH Viersen, KILIAN, Cologne, KOMAGE, Kell am See, KORSCH Pressen AG, Berlin, and Romaco GmbH, Worms.

- Tableting tools are, for example, from Adams Tablettierwerkmaschinen, Dresden, Wilhelm Fett GmbH, Schwarzenbek, Klaus Hammer, Solingen, Herber% Söhne GmbH, Hamburg, Hofer GmbH, Weil , Hom & Noack, Pharmatechnik GmbH, Worms, Ritter Pharamatechnik GmbH, Hamburg, Romaco, GmbH, Worms and Notter diarrheabau, Tamm available.
- Other providers include Senss AG, Reinach (CH) and Medicopharm, Kamnik (SI).
- the shaped bodies can be manufactured in a predetermined spatial shape and size, whereby they always consist of several phases, i.e. Layers, inclusions or cores and rings exist. Practically all sensibly manageable configurations come into consideration as spatial form, for example, the training as a board, the rod or. Bar shape, cubes, cuboids and corresponding spatial elements with flat side surfaces and in particular cylindrical designs with a circular or oval cross section. This last embodiment covers the presentation form from the tablet to compact cylinder pieces with a ratio of height to diameter above 1.
- the portioned compacts can each be designed as separate individual elements that correspond to the predetermined dosage of the detergents and / or cleaning agents. However, it is also possible to form compacts which combine a plurality of such mass units in one compact, the portioned smaller units being easy to separate, in particular by predetermined breaking points.
- the portioned compacts as tablets, in cylinder or cuboid form can be expedient, with a diameter / height ratio in the range from about 0.5: 2 to 2: 0.5 is preferred.
- Commercial hydraulic presses, eccentric presses or rotary presses are suitable devices, in particular for the production of such pressed articles.
- the spatial shape of another embodiment of the molded body is adapted in its dimensions to the detergent dispenser of standard household washing machines, so that the molded body can be dispensed directly into the dispenser without metering aid, where it dissolves during the dispensing process.
- the detergent tablets can also be used without problems using a dosing aid.
- Another preferred multi-phase molded body that can be produced has a plate-like or panel-like structure with alternately thick long and thin short segments, so that individual segments of this "multi-phase bar" are broken off at the predetermined breaking points which represent the short thin segments and can be entered into the machine.
- This principle of the "bar-shaped" shaped body washing agent can also be implemented in other geometric shapes, for example vertically standing triangles, which are connected to one another only on one of their sides along the side. For optical reasons, it makes sense to design the triangular base that connects the individual segments as one phase, while the triangle tip forms the second phase. Different coloring of both phases is particularly appealing in this embodiment.
- multi-phase molded bodies can also be produced in the form of toroidal core tablets, core-coated tablets or so-called “bulleye” tablets.
- An overview of such embodiments of multi-phase tablets is described in EP 055 100 (Jeyes Group).
- This document discloses toilet cleaning agent blocks which have a shaped shape Bodies made from a slowly dissolving detergent composition, in which a bleach tablet is embedded.
- This document simultaneously discloses the most varied configurations of multi-phase molded bodies, from simple multi-phase tablets to complicated multilayer systems with inlays.
- the breaking strength of cylindrical shaped bodies can be determined by means of the measured quantity of the diametrical field response. This can be determined according to
- ⁇ stands for diametrical fracture stress (DFS) in Pa
- P is the force in N, which leads to the pressure exerted on the molded body, which leads to the Fracture of the molded body is caused
- D is the molded body diameter in meters
- t is the height of the molded body.
- a surfactant granulate was mixed with other processing components and pressed on an eccentric tablet press to form tablets.
- the composition of the surfactant granules is given in Table 1 below, the composition of the premix to be treated (and thus the composition of the moldings) can be found in Table 2.
- the tablettable premixes were pressed in a Korsch eccentric press into tablets (diameter: 44 mm, height: 22 mm, weight: 37.5 g).
- the compression pressure was set so that three series of moldings were obtained (E, E ', E "and V, V, V"), which differ in their hardness.
- the molded body E of the invention were ve ⁇ ackt after preparation to a combination of the invention by two tablets in a flow pack of laminate foil (aluminized film, thickness: 35 microns, the water vapor permeability of 1 g / m 2/24 hr) were packed; Comparative Examples V were stored open.
- the hardness and disintegration time of all molded body series were measured before packaging.
- Both molded bodies (combination E according to the invention and comparative molded bodies V) were stored for 14 days in a climatic cell at 23 ° C. and 85% relative atmospheric humidity (test conditions according to DIN 53122), after which the hardness and disintegration times were determined again.
- the hardness of the tablets was determined by deformation of the tablet to breakage, the force acting on the side surfaces of the tablet and the maximum force that the tablet withstood determined.
- Table 3 shows impressively that the hardness and disintegration times of the detergent tablets in the combinations according to the invention change only slightly, while the tablets of comparative example V cure unacceptably and extremely badly or no longer disintegrate.
