Abstract

Aqueous liquid multiphase detergent containing surfactant has at least 2 continuous phases, including a lower aqueous phase (I) and an immiscible upper aqueous phase (II), which can be converted to an emulsion temporarily by shaking. The novelty is that the detergent contains 0-5 wt.% sodium hexametaphosphate. An independent claim is also included for the production of the detergent. -

    Prüfung der ReinigungsleistungChecking the cleaning performance

    Zur Prüfung des Reinigungsvermögens der erfindungsgemäß formulierten Reiniger-Zusammensetzungen diente die unten nach Seifen-Öle-Fette-Wachse 1986, 112, S. 371, beschriebene Testmethode, die sehr gut reproduzierbare Ergebnisse liefert. Danach wurde das zu prüfende Reinigungsmittel auf eine künstlich angeschmutzte weiße Kunststoffoberfläche gegeben. Als künstliche Anschmutzung für die verdünnte Anwendung des Reinigungsmittels wurde ein Gemisch aus Ruß, Maschinenöl, Triglycerid aus gesättigten Fettsäuren und niedersiedendem aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoff verwendet. Die Testfläche von 26 x 28 cm wurde mit Hilfe eines Flächenstreichers gleichmäßig mit 2 g der künstlichen Anschmutzung beschichtet.The test method described below according to Seifen-Öle-Fette-Wachsen 1986 , 112 , p. 371, which provides very reproducible results, was used to test the cleaning ability of the cleaner compositions formulated according to the invention. The cleaning agent to be tested was then placed on an artificially soiled white plastic surface. A mixture of carbon black, machine oil, triglyceride of saturated fatty acids and low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon was used as artificial soiling for the dilute use of the cleaning agent. The test area of 26 x 28 cm was evenly coated with 2 g of the artificial soiling with the aid of a surface coater.

    Ein Kunststoffschwamm wurde jeweils mit 10 ml der zu prüfenden Reinigungsmittellösung getränkt und mechanisch auf der ebenfalls mit 10 ml der zu prüfenden Reinigungsmittel beschichteten Testfläche bewegt. Nach 10 Wischbewegungen wurde die gereinigte Testfläche unter fließendes Wasser gehalten und der lose sitzende Schmutz entfernt. Die Reinigungswirkung, d.h. der Weißgrad der sogenannten Kunststoffoberfläche wurde mit einem Farb-Differenz-Meßgerät "Microcolor" (Dr. Lange) gemessen. Als Weiß-Standard diente die saubere unbehandelte weiße Kunststoffoberfläche.A plastic sponge was each with 10 ml of the detergent solution to be tested impregnated and mechanically on the detergent also to be tested with 10 ml coated test surface moves. After 10 wiping movements, the cleaned test area Held under running water and the loose dirt removed. The cleaning effect, i.e. the whiteness of the so-called plastic surface was measured with a Color difference measuring device "Microcolor" (Dr. Lange) measured. The served as the white standard clean untreated white plastic surface.

    Der Test wurde mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsmittel E1 in verdünnter Anwendung mit einer Konzentration von 6 ml·l-1 und in unverdünnter Anwendung durchgeführt. Zum Vergleich wurde der Test mit einem im deutschen Markt führenden Allzweckreiniger mit mehr als 10 Gew.-% Tensiden (V1) in verdünnter Anwendung von ebenfalls 6 ml·l-1 sowie in unverdünnter Anwendung durchgeführt. The test was carried out with the inventive cleaning agent E1 in diluted usage at a concentration of 6 MLL -1 and in undiluted. For comparison, the test was carried out with a leading all-purpose cleaner in the German market with more than 10% by weight of surfactants ( V1 ) in dilute application of 6 ml·l -1 as well as in undiluted application.

    Das erfindungsgemäße Mittel E1 übertrifft in seiner Reinigungsleistung hierbei den deutlich tensidreicheren Reiniger V1 sowohl in der verdünnten Anwendung wie auch in der unverdünnten Anwendung.The inventive cleaning agent E1 outperforms the significantly more surfactant-rich cleaner V1 in both the diluted application and in the undiluted application.
