Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft pastenförmige Waschmittel für den Einsatz in der gewerblichen Wäscherei, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung derartiger Mittel und ein desinfizierendes Waschverfahren in der gewerblichen Wäscherei.The present invention relates to paste detergents for use in commercial laundry, a process for producing such compositions, and a disinfecting laundry process in commercial laundry.
Im Haushalt eingesetzte Waschmittel sind auf die dort vorkommenden Bedürfnisse abgestimmt; so sind sie normalerweise pulverförmig oder hinreichend flüssig, um sich problemlos ausgießen und dosieren zu lassen. Da auch derartige Flüssigwaschmittel innerhalb relativ weiter Temperaturbereiche lagerstabil sein sollen, werden häufig Zusätze von organischen Lösungsmitteln und/oder Hydrotropen zugesetzt, die allerdings selbst keinen Beitrag zum Wasch- beziehungsweise Reinigungsergebnis liefern und aus diesem Grund unerwünscht sind. Eine Möglichkeit zur Umgehung eventueller Dosierprobleme mit nicht hinreichend flüssigen Mitteln wird in der europäischen Patentanmeldung
Das in der europäischen Patentschrift
Ein weiteres pastenförmiges Waschmittel, welches als nichtionisches Tensid 40 bis 70 Gew.-% bei Raumtemperatur flüssigen ethoxylierten Fettalkohol mit 10 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatomen und einem mittleren Ethoxylierungsgrad von 1 bis 8 sowie 20 bis 50 Gew.-% bei Raumtemperatur flüssigen ethoxylierten und propoxylierten Fettalkohol mit 10 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatomen und einem mittleren Ethoxylierungsgrad von 2 bis 8 und einem mittleren Propoxylierungsgrad von 1 bis 6 sowie 1 bis 10 Gew.-% Seife enthält, wird in der internationalen Patentanmeldung
Aus der internationalen Patentanmeldung
Die gewerblichen Waschverfahren unterscheiden sich von der Haushaltswäsche unter anderem darin, daß zwar auch verschiedene Arten von Textilien und verschiedenartig verschmutzte Textilien anfallen, aber innerhalb des gleichzeitig zur Wäsche anstehenden Materials weitgehend einheitliche Massenwäsche auftritt, was eine auf die jeweilige Reinigungsaufgabe speziell abgestimmte Waschtechnik erlaubt. Allerdings stellt sich in der gewerblichen Wäscherei in höherem Ausmaß als bei der Haushaltswäsche die Forderung nach leistungsfähigen Reinigungsverfahren, da extrem verschmutzte Wäsche und infizierte Krankenhauswäsche anfallen kann. Um den Waschmittelverbrauch möglichst niedrig zu halten, wird in der gewerblichen Wäscherei fast ausschließlich mit von Härteionen befreitem Wasser gewaschen. Für eine ausführliche Übersicht sei auf die Veröffentlichung von
Die aus den oben genannten Dokumenten bekannten Mittel weisen eine hohe Reinigungsleistung auf und sind zum gewerblichen Waschen von verschmutzter Wäsche sehr gut geeignet. Wenn mit eventuell sogar pathogenen Mikroorganismen belastete Wäsche anfällt, vermögen sie jedoch der Forderung nach einer gleichzeitigen Desinfektion nicht nachzukommen, so daß bei ihrem Einsatz die zusätzliche Verwendung von desinfizierend wirkenden Mitteln notwendig wird.The agents known from the above-mentioned documents have a high cleaning performance and are very well suited for commercial washing of soiled laundry. If incurred with possibly even pathogenic microorganisms scrubbed laundry, but they can not meet the demand for a simultaneous disinfection, so that in their use, the additional use of disinfecting agents is necessary.
Es besteht somit Bedarf für ein möglichst einfach zusammengesetztes Waschmittel, das neben einer guten Reinigungsleistung eine desinfizierende Wirkung aufweist, wenn man es im Waschgang üblicher gewerblicher Waschvorrichtungen einsetzt.There is thus a need for a cleaning agent composed as simply as possible which, in addition to a good cleaning performance, has a disinfecting effect when used in the wash cycle of conventional commercial washing devices.
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung, mit der diesem Bedarf abgeholfen werden soll, ist ein pastenförmiges Waschmittel für den Einsatz in der gewerblichen Wäscherei, gemäß Anspruch 1.The present invention, which is intended to remedy this need, is a paste-type laundry detergent for use in commercial laundry, according to claim 1.
Dabei muß überraschen, daß trotz Verzicht auf Bleichaktivatoren, worunter hier unter Perhydrolysebedingungen Percarbonsäuren bildende Vorläuferverbindungen wie Ester und Amide verstanden werden sollen, ein desinfizierend wirkendes Mittel erhalten wird.It must be surprising that despite the absence of bleach activators, which is to be understood here under perhydrolysis precursor compounds such as esters and amides forming percarboxylic, a disinfecting agent is obtained.
Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum Waschen und Desinfizieren von Wäsche in der gewerblichen Wäscherei, wobei man ein entsprechendes pastenförmiges Mittel einsetzt. Es kommt dabei vorzugsweise im 60° C-Waschprogramm, das heißt bei einer Waschtemperatur von etwa 60 °C, zum Einsatz. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist es auch möglich, nicht sämtliche Inhaltsstoffe des erfindungsgemäßen pastenförmigen Mittels gemeinsam in einer Waschmittelpaste vereint einzusetzen, sondern einen oder mehrere der Inhaltsstoffe, insbesondere die anorganische Persauerstoffverbindung, separat einzusetzen, wobei zusätzlich ein pastenförmiges Mittel zum Einsatz kommt, welches bis auf den fehlenden Inhaltsstoff beziehungsweise die fehleden Inhaltsstoffe einem erfindungsgemäßen Mittel entspricht. Bei dieser Vorgehensweise ist es bei Einsatz einer Mehrkammerwaschanlage möglich, den separat eingesetzten Inhaltsstoff, insbesondere die anorganische Persauerstoffverbindung, in die gleiche oder eine andere Kammer als das pastenförmige Mittel einzudosieren. Unter dem vorstehend verwendeten Begriff "separat" ist lediglich die Eigenschaft "getrennt von dem pastenförmigen Mittel" zu verstehen, das heißt der separat zuzudosierende Inhaltsstoff kann auch in Kombination beziehungsweise Abmischung mit weiteren in Waschmitteln üblichen Substanzen, die mit ihm nicht in unerwünschter Weise wechselwirken, zum Einsatz kommen.Another object of the invention is a method for washing and disinfecting laundry in commercial laundry, using a corresponding pasty agent. It is preferably used in the 60 ° C wash program, ie at a washing temperature of about 60 ° C, used. In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is also possible not to use all the ingredients of the paste-like composition according to the invention together in a detergent paste, but to use one or more of the ingredients, in particular the inorganic peroxygen compound, separately, wherein additionally a pasty agent is used, which corresponds to an agent according to the invention except for the missing ingredient or the wrong ingredients. With this procedure, it is possible with the use of a multi-chamber washing system to meter in the separately used ingredient, in particular the inorganic peroxygen compound, in the same or a different chamber than the pasty agent. The term "separately" used above is to be understood merely as the property "separate from the pasty agent", that is to say that the ingredient to be added separately can also be combined or blended with further substances customary in detergents which do not interact undesirably with it. be used.
Die flüssige Phase des erfindungsgemäßen pastenförmigen Mittels wird im wesentlichen von nichtionischen Tensiden gebildet. Ein erfindungsgemäßes Mittel enthält 32 Gew.-% bis 55 Gew.-%, insbesondere 35 Gew.% bis 50 Gew.-% nichtionisches Tensid in Form eines oder mehrerer ethoxylierter und/oder propoxylierter Alkohole, wobei vorzugsweise solche zum Einsatz kommen, die den obengenannten Formeln I oder II entsprechen.

Die Viskosität des erfindungsgemäßen Mittels kann durch die Kombination von ethoxylierten Alkoholen mit den Formeln I und II eingestellt werden. Bei den Verbindungen der Formeln I, II und IV können die Reste R1, R2 beziehungsweise R5 linear oder verzweigtkettig, beispielsweise in 2-Stellung methylverzweigt sein, wobei lineare Reste mit primären veretherten Alkoholfunktionen bevorzugt sind. Vorzugsweise weist das nichtionische Tensid gemäß Formel I eine Kohlenstoffkettenlänge von 8 bis 14, insbesondere 12 bis 14 Kohlenstoffatomen und einen mittleren Ethoxylierungsgrad m von 1 bis 8, insbesondere 1 bis 5 auf. Das nichtionische Tensid gemäß Formel II weist eine breitere Kohlenstoffkettenlängenverteilung hin zu längeren Ketten mit 12 bis 22, insbesondere 12 bis 18 und besonders bevorzugt 16 bis 18 Kohlenstoffatomen und einen höheren mittleren Ethoxylierungsgrad n von 3 bis 14, insbesondere 6 bis 12 auf. Die ethoxylierten Alkohole der Formel I und die ethoxylierten Alkohole der Formel II liegen bevorzugt in Gewichtsverhältnissen von 2 : 1 bis 1 : 1,8 vor. Das erfindungsgemäße Mittel kann weitere nichtionische, in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln üblicherweise eingesetzte Tenside enthalten, wie zum Beispiel Alkylpolyglykoside und/oder Fettsäurepolyhydroxyamide. Die Tensidkomponente ist allerdings vorzugsweise frei von ausschließlich propoxylierten Alkoholen.The liquid phase of the pasty agent according to the invention is essentially formed by nonionic surfactants. An agent according to the invention contains from 32% by weight to 55% by weight, in particular from 35% by weight to 50% by weight. nonionic surfactant in the form of one or more ethoxylated and / or propoxylated alcohols, preferably those which correspond to the abovementioned formulas I or II.

The viscosity of the agent according to the invention can be adjusted by the combination of ethoxylated alcohols of the formulas I and II. In the case of the compounds of the formulas I, II and IV, the radicals R 1 , R 2 and R 5 may be linear or branched, for example methyl-branched in the 2-position, linear radicals having primary etherified alcohol functions being preferred. The nonionic surfactant according to formula I preferably has a carbon chain length of 8 to 14, in particular 12 to 14 carbon atoms and a mean degree of ethoxylation m of 1 to 8, in particular 1 to 5. The nonionic surfactant according to formula II has a broader carbon chain length distribution towards longer chains having 12 to 22, in particular 12 to 18 and particularly preferably 16 to 18 carbon atoms and a higher average degree of ethoxylation n of 3 to 14, in particular 6 to 12. The ethoxylated alcohols of the formula I and the ethoxylated alcohols of the formula II are preferably present in weight ratios of from 2: 1 to 1: 1.8. The composition according to the invention may comprise further nonionic surfactants commonly used in detergents and cleaners, for example alkylpolyglycosides and / or fatty acid polyhydroxyamides. However, the surfactant component is preferably free of exclusively propoxylated alcohols.
Für die Alkohole beziehungsweise Ether der allgemeinen Formel III, die zur besonders guten Kältestabilität der erfindungsgemäßen Mittel beitragen, für die Schaumarmut und Verringerung der Tensidablagerung an der gewaschenen Wäsche sorgen und zusätzlich einen Beitrag zur Waschleistung liefern, gilt in Bezug auf den Rest R3 im wesentlichen das oben für die Reste R1 und R2 ausgeführte. R4 ist neben Wasserstoff vorzugsweise eine Methyl-, Ethyl-, Propyl- oder Butylgruppe, wobei Wasserstoff und die Methylgruppe, insbesondere Wasserstoff, besonders bevorzugt sind. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind in den Mitteln bis zu 15 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 2 Gew.-% bis 10 Gew.-% an Substanzen gemäß allgemeiner Formel III enthalten.For the alcohols or ethers of the general formula III, which contribute to the particularly good low-temperature stability of the compositions according to the invention, for the foaming and Reduce the surfactant deposition on the washed laundry provide and also contribute to the washing performance, applies with respect to the radical R 3 substantially the above for the radicals R 1 and R 2 executed. In addition to hydrogen, R 4 is preferably a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group, with hydrogen and the methyl group, in particular hydrogen, being particularly preferred. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the compositions contain up to 15% by weight, preferably 2% by weight to 10% by weight, of substances according to general formula III.
Fettsäuren oder deren Alkalisalze, die sogenannten Seifen, oder Mischungen aus Fettsäuren und Seifen sind in erfindungsgemäßen Mitteln vorzugsweise in Mengen von 0,75 Gew.-% bis 2,5 Gew.-%, insbesondere von 1 Gew.-% bis 2 Gew.-%, enthalten. Als Seifen kommen insbesondere die Alkalisalze der gesättigten und/oder ungesättigten C12-18-Fettsäuren, beispielsweise Kokos-, Palmkern- oder Talgfettsäure, in Frage, wobei die entsprechenden Säuren auch als solche zum Einsatz kommen können. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Einsatz eines gegebenenfalls verseiften Carbonsäuregemisches aus, jeweils bezogen auf gesamtes Carbonsäuregemisch, 2 Gew.-% bis 8 Gew.-% C14-, bis zu 1 Gew.-% C15-, 18 Gew.-% bis 24 Gew.-% C16-, bis zu 3 Gew.-% C17-, 20 Gew.-% bis 42 Gew.-% C18- und 30 Gew.-% bis 44 Gew.-% C20-22-Carbonsäure.

Als weitere Tenside kann das Mittel gewünschtenfalls bis zu 10 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise bis zu 5 Gew.-% und insbesondere 0,5 Gew.-% bis 3 Gew.-% synthetische Aniontenside, insbesondere ausgewählt aus den Alkylbenztilsulfonaten, Alkyl- beziehungsweise Alkenylsulfaten und/oder Ethersulfaten, enthalten. Zu den geeigneten synthetischen Aniontensiden, die vorzugsweise in fester, feinteiliger, weitgehend wasserfreier Form in das erfindungsgemäße Mittel eingearbeitet werden können, gehören insbesondere solche vom Sulfonat- oder Sulfat-Typ, die normalerweise als Alkalisalze, bevorzugt als Natriumsalze vorliegen. Insbesondere die genannten Tenside vom Sulfonat-Typ können jedoch auch in Form ihrer freien Säuren eingesetzt werden. Geeignete anionische Tenside vom Sulfonat-Typ sind neben den C9-13-Alkylbenzolsulfonaten lineare Alkansulfonate mit 11 bis 15 C-Atomen, wie sie durch Sulfochlorierung beziehungsweise Sulfoxidation von Alkanen und anschließende Verseifung beziehungsweise Neutralisation erhältlich sind, Salze von Sulfofettsäuren sowie deren Ester, die sich von insbesondere in α-Stellung sulfonierten gesättigten C12- bis C18-Fettsäuren und niederen Alkoholen, wie Methanol, Ethanol und Propanol ableiten, und Olefinsulfonate, wie sie zum Beispiel durch Sulfonierung endständiger C12- bis C18-Olefine und anschließende alkalische Hydrolyse gebildet werden. Geeignete Tenside vom Sulfat-Typ sind insbesondere die primären Alkylsulfate mit vorzugsweise linearen Alkylresten mit 10 bis 20 C-Atomen, die ein Alkali-, Ammonium- oder Alkyl- beziehungsweise Hydroxyalkyl-substituiertes Ammoniumion als Gegenkation besitzen. Besonders geeignet sind die Derivate der linearen Alkohole mit insbesondere 12 bis 18 C-Atomen und deren verzweigtkettiger Analoga, der sogenannten Oxoalkohole. Brauchbar sind demgemäß insbesondere die Sulfatierungsprodukte primärer Fettalkohole mit linearen Dodecyl-, Tetradecyl- oder Octadecylresten sowie deren Gemische. Besonders bevorzugte Alkylsulfate enthalten einen Talgalkylrest, das heißt Mischungen mit im wesentlichen Hexadecyl- und Octadecylresten. Die Alkylsulfate können in bekannter Weise durch Reaktion der entsprechenden Alkoholkomponente mit einem üblichen Sulfatierungsreagenz, insbesondere Schwefeltrioxid oder Chlorsulfonsäure, und anschließende Neutralisation mit Alkali-, Ammonium- oder Alkyl- beziehungsweise Hydroxyalkyl-substituierten Ammoniumbasen hergestellt werden. Außerdem können die sulfatierten Alkoxylierungsprodukte derartiger Alkohole, sogenannte Ethersulfate, in den Mitteln enthalten sein. Vorzugsweise enthalten derartige Ethersulfate 2 bis 30, insbesondere 4 bis 10, Ethylenglykol-Gruppen pro Molekül.As further surfactants, the agent may optionally be up to 10 wt .-%, preferably up to 5 wt .-% and in particular 0.5 wt .-% to 3 wt .-% of synthetic anionic surfactants, in particular selected from the alkylbenzylsulfonates, alkyl or Alkenyl sulfates and / or ether sulfates. Suitable synthetic anionic surfactants which may preferably be incorporated into the composition according to the invention in solid, finely divided, substantially anhydrous form include in particular those of the sulphonate or sulphate type which are normally present as alkali metal salts, preferably as sodium salts. However, in particular the said surfactants of the sulfonate type can also be used in the form of their free acids. Suitable anionic surfactants of the sulfonate type are, in addition to the C 9-13 -alkylbenzenesulfonates, linear alkanesulfonates with 11 to 15 C atoms, as obtainable by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation of alkanes and subsequent saponification or neutralization, Salts of sulfo fatty acids and their esters derived from saturated in particular α-position saturated C 12 - to C 18 fatty acids and lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and propanol, and Olefinsulfonate, as for example by sulfonation of terminal C 12 - to form C 18 olefins and subsequent alkaline hydrolysis. Suitable surfactants of the sulfate type are in particular the primary alkyl sulfates with preferably linear alkyl radicals having 10 to 20 C atoms, which have an alkali, ammonium or alkyl or hydroxyalkyl-substituted ammonium ion as a counter cation. Particularly suitable are the derivatives of linear alcohols having in particular 12 to 18 carbon atoms and their branched-chain analogs, the so-called oxo alcohols. Accordingly, in particular the sulfation products of primary fatty alcohols with linear dodecyl, tetradecyl or octadecyl radicals and mixtures thereof are useful. Particularly preferred alkyl sulfates contain a tallow alkyl radical, that is to say mixtures having essentially hexadecyl and octadecyl radicals. The alkyl sulfates can be prepared in a known manner by reaction of the corresponding alcohol component with a conventional sulfating reagent, in particular sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid, and subsequent neutralization with alkali metal, ammonium or alkyl or hydroxyalkyl-substituted ammonium bases. In addition, the sulfated alkoxylation products of such alcohols, so-called ether sulfates, may be included in the compositions. Such ether sulfates preferably contain 2 to 30, in particular 4 to 10, ethylene glycol groups per molecule.
Die feste Phase des erfindungsgemäßen Mittels wird im wesentlichen von den Alkalisierungsmitteln, den anorganischen Persauerstoffverbindungen und den Buildersubstanzen gebildet, wobei gegebenenfalls weitere teilchenförmige Hilfsstoffe anwesend sein können. Die feste Phase sollte in der flüssigen Tensidphase möglichst homogen dispergiert sein. Die als feste Phase enthaltenen Bestandteile des pastenförmigen Mittels sollen feinteilig sein und eine mittlere Korngröße im Bereich von 5 µm bis 200 µm aufweisen, wobei höchstens 15% der Teilchen eine Korngröße von mehr als 200 µm aufweisen. Überraschenderweise ist es möglich, relativ grobkörnige Feststoffe, beispielsweise solche, die 20 % bis 50 % Teilchen mit Korngrößen über 100 µm enthalten, ohne Nachteil in die pastenförmigen Mittel einzuarbeiten. Vorzugsweise beträgt die mittlere Korngröße der die feste Phase bildenden Teilchen 10 µm bis 80 µm und insbesondere 10 µm bis 60 µm, wobei die maximale Korngröße unterhalb 300 µm, insbesondere unter 250 µm liegt. Vorzugsweise sind 90 Gew.% der festen pulverförmigen Bestandteile kleiner als 200 µm, insbesondere kleiner als 150 µm. Die mittlere Korngröße kann nach bekannten Methoden (beispielsweise mittels Laserbeugung oder Coulter Counter) bestimmt werden.The solid phase of the composition according to the invention is essentially formed by the alkalizing agents, the inorganic peroxygen compounds and the builders, it being possible for further particulate auxiliaries to be present if appropriate. The solid phase should be dispersed as homogeneously as possible in the liquid surfactant phase. The components of the pasty agent contained as a solid phase should be finely divided and have a mean particle size in the range of 5 microns to 200 microns, with at most 15% of the particles have a particle size of more than 200 microns. Surprisingly, it is possible to incorporate relatively coarse-grained solids, for example those containing 20% to 50% of particles with particle sizes greater than 100 μm, into the pasty compositions without any disadvantage. Preferably the mean particle size of the particles forming the solid phase is 10 μm to 80 μm and in particular 10 μm to 60 μm, the maximum particle size being less than 300 μm, in particular less than 250 μm. Preferably, 90% by weight of the solid powdery constituents are smaller than 200 μm, in particular smaller than 150 μm. The average particle size can be determined by known methods (for example by means of laser diffraction or Coulter Counter).
Die als weitere Komponente enthaltenen Alkalisierungsmittel werden oft auch als Waschalkalien bezeichnet. Sie sind überwiegend der festen Phase zuzuordnen. Sie sorgen unter Anwendungsbedingungen erfindungsgemäßer Mittel für einen pH-Wert im alkalischen Bereich, der normalerweise im Bereich von 9,5 bis 11,5, insbesondere von 10 bis 11 (gemessen in 1-gewichtsprozentiger Lösung des Mittels in ionenausgetauschtem Wasser) liegt. Bevorzugtes Alkalisierungsmittel ist Alkalicarbonat, das gegebenenfalls auch in Abmischung mit Alkalihydrogencarbonat eingesetzt werden kann. Alkalismetasilikate als stark alkalisierend wirkende Mittel sind in den erfindungsgemäßen pastenförmigen Mitteln nicht enthalten. Der Anteil der Mittel an Alkalisierungsmitteln beträgt in der Regel 20 Gew.-% bis 80 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 30 Gew.-% bis 70 Gew.-% und insbesondere 40 Gew.-% bis 60 Gew.-%. Insbesondere wenn beim Einsatz erfindungsgemäßer Mittel ein Phosphatgehalt ökologisch unbedenklich ist (zum Beispiel bei einer die Phosphate eliminierenden Abwasserreinigung), können in erfindungsgemäßen pastenförmigen Mitteln auch gegebenenfalls polymere Alkaliphosphate, wie Natriumtripolyphosphat, anwesend sein. Ihr Anteil beträgt vorzugsweise bis zu 70 Gew.-%, insbesondere 15 Gew.-% bis 40 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Mittel, wobei der Anteil der übrigen Feststoffe, zum Beispiel des Alkalicarbonats und/oder gegebenenfalls enthaltenen Alumosilikats, entsprechend vermindert werden kann. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung erfindungsgemäßer Mittel enthalten diese 5 Gew.-% bis 15 Gew.-%, insbesondere 6 Gew.-% bis 10 Gew.-% Alkalicarbonat und/oder Alkalihydrogencarbonat.The alkalizing agents contained as another component are often referred to as Waschalkalien. They are predominantly assigned to the fixed phase. Under conditions of use, they provide for a pH in the alkaline range, which is normally in the range from 9.5 to 11.5, in particular from 10 to 11 (measured in 1% by weight solution of the agent in ion-exchanged water). Preferred alkalizing agent is alkali metal carbonate, which may optionally also be used in admixture with alkali metal bicarbonate. Alkali metal silicates as strong alkalizing agents are not included in the pasty compositions of the invention. The proportion of agents in alkalizing agents is generally from 20% by weight to 80% by weight, preferably from 30% by weight to 70% by weight and in particular from 40% by weight to 60% by weight. In particular, when a phosphate content is ecologically harmless when using agents according to the invention (for example in a wastewater treatment which eliminates the phosphates), pasty agents according to the invention may optionally also contain polymeric alkali metal phosphates, such as sodium tripolyphosphate. Their proportion is preferably up to 70 wt .-%, in particular 15 wt .-% to 40 wt .-%, based on the total agent, wherein the proportion of other solids, for example, the alkali metal carbonate and / or aluminosilicate, if appropriate, accordingly can be reduced. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, these agents contain from 5% by weight to 15% by weight, in particular from 6% by weight to 10% by weight, of alkali metal carbonate and / or alkali metal bicarbonate.
Als organische Buildersubstanz enthält ein erfindungsgemäßes Mittel Citronensäure, Alkalicitrat oder Mischungen aus diesen. Zusätzlich eignen sich andere monomere Polycarbonsäuren beziehungsweise Hydroxycarbonsäuren wie Gluconsäure beziehungsweise deren Salze sowie übliche Co-Builder beziehungsweise Komplexbildner aus der Klasse der Aminopolycarbonsäuren und Polyphosphonsäuren. Zu den Aminopolycarbonsäuren zählen Nitrilotriessigsäure, Ethylendiamintetraessigsäure, Diethylentriaminpentaessigsäure sowie deren höhere Homologen, wobei N,N-Bis(carboxymethyl)asparaginsäure bevorzugt eingesetzt wird. Geeignete Polyphosphonsäuren sind 1-Hydroxyethan-1,1-diphosphonsäure, Aminotri(methylenphosphonsäure), Ethylendiamintetra(methylenphosphonsäure) und deren höhere Homologen, wie zum Beispiel Diethylentetramintetra(methylenphosphonsäure). Die vorgenannten Säuren kommen üblicherweise in Form ihrer Alkalisalze, insbesondere der Natrium- beziehungsweise Kaliumsalze zur Anwendung. Zu den außerdem einsetzbaren Buildern zählen homopolymere und/oder copolymere Carbonsäuren beziehungsweise deren Alkalisalze, wobei auch hier die Natrium- oder Kaliumsalze besonders bevorzugt sind. Als besonders geeignet haben sich polymere Carboxylate beziehungsweise polymere Carbonsäuren mit einer relativen Molekülmasse von mindestens 350, in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze, insbesondere in Form der Natrium- und/oder Kaliumsalze, erwiesen, wie oxydierte Polysaccharide gemäß der internationalen Patentanmeldung
Als anorganische Builder zum Einsatz in erfindungsgemäßen Mitteln kommen neben dem obengenannten Phosphat kristalline Alkalisilikate sowie feinteilige Alkalialumosilikate, insbesondere Zeolithe vom Typ NaA, X und/oder P, in Frage. Geeignete Zeolithe weisen normalerweise ein Calciumbindevermögen im Bereich von 100 bis 200 mg CaO/g, das gemäß den Angaben in der

Anorganische Persauerstoffverbindung können in erfindungsgemäßen Mitteln vorzugsweise in Mengen von 20 Gew.-% bis 30 Gew.%, insbesondere von 22,5 Gew.-% bis 27,5 Gew.-% enthalten sein. Die Desinfektionskraft der erfindungsgemäßen Mittel bei Temperaturen um 60 °C ist ohne die Anwesenheit von Bleichaktivatoren gegeben, so daß die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel frei von derartigen üblicherweise die Oxidationskraft derartiger Oxidationsmittel verbessernden Bleichaktivatoren sind.In addition, a paste-form agent according to the invention contains oxygen-containing oxidizing agent in the form of inorganic peroxygen compounds, which are preferably selected from the group consisting of alkali metal perborate, alkali metal percarbonate and mixtures thereof and wherein sodium perborate tetrahydrate and sodium perborate monohydrate are particularly important in addition to sodium percarbonate.

Zur Herstellung erfindungsgemäßer pastenförmiger Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel geht man vorzugsweise so vor, daß man das nichtionische Tensid beziehungsweise die nichtionischen Tenside vorlegt, gegebenenfalls den Alkohol beziehungsweise Ether der Formel III zumischt, mit dem Gemisch aus Fettsäurealkalisalz und Fettsäure sowie gegebenenfalls dem Schaumregulator und dem synthetischen anionischen Tensid zu einem homogenen Vorgemisch vermischt. Ein derartiges Vorgemisch ist weitgehend lagerstabil und bei Temperaturen im Bereich von Raumtemperatur bis 40 °C fließfähig, auch wenn bei diesen Temperaturen die Bestandteile des Vorgemischs nicht immer vollständig flüssig oder gelöst vorliegen. Diesem Vorgemisch werden, vorzugsweise nach Erwärmen auf Temperaturen im Bereich von etwa 80 °C, die pulverförmigen Bestandteile einschließlich der Citronensäure/des Citrats des pastenförmigen Mittels zugemischt, die insbesondere durch Rühren im Vorgemisch dispergiert werden. Danach wird das Vorgemisch. Anschließend wird das so erhaltene Gemisch vorzugsweise einem Naßmahlvorgang unterworfen. Dadurch erhält das Produkt die erwünschte Konsistenz sowie Homogenität. Die Zumischung weiterer, insbesondere temperaturbeziehungsweise schersensitiver Inhaltsstoffe wie Parfumölen und Enzymen erfolgt anschließend, wobei deren homogene Einarbeitung möglichst schonend geschehen sollte, um die Struktur der Paste nicht zu zerstören. Die entstehenden erfindungsgemäßen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel sind direkt nach der Herstellung durch die einwirkenden Scherkräfte fließfähig und pumpbar und können so in übliche Verkaufsgebinde abgefüllt werden.For the preparation of inventive paste-form detergents and cleaning agents, preference is given to initially introducing the nonionic surfactant or nonionic surfactants, optionally admixing the alcohol or ether of formula III with the mixture of fatty acid alkali metal salt and fatty acid and optionally the foam regulator and the synthetic anionic Surfactant mixed into a homogeneous premix. Such a premix is largely storage-stable and flowable at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 40 ° C, even if at these temperatures, the components of the premix are not always completely liquid or dissolved. To this premix, preferably after heating to temperatures in the range of about 80 ° C, the powdery ingredients including the citric acid / citrate of the pasting agent are mixed, which are dispersed in particular by stirring in the premix. After that, the premix. Subsequently, the mixture thus obtained is preferably subjected to a wet grinding operation. This gives the product the desired consistency and homogeneity. The admixture of further, especially temperature or shear-sensitive ingredients such as perfume oils and enzymes is then carried out, their homogeneous incorporation should be done as gently as possible, so as not to destroy the structure of the paste. The resulting detergents or cleaners according to the invention are flowable and pumpable directly after production by the applied shear forces and can thus be filled into conventional sales containers.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes pastenförmiges Mittel weist bei 25 °C vorzugsweise eine Viskosität im Bereich von 60 000 mPa.s bis 100 000 mPa.s, insbesondere 70 000 mPa.s bis 90 000 mPa.s, gemessen mit einem Brookfield-Rotationsviskosimeter (Spindel.Nr. 7) bei 5 Umdrehungen pro Minute auf. Diese Zahlenwerte zur Viskosität beziehen sich, um eventuelle Thixotropieeffekt der Paste zu berücksichtigen, auf die Ablesung nach einer Meßzeit von 3 Minuten. Das pastenförmige Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel weist in einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bei Raumtemperatur vorzugsweise eine derartige Viskosität auf, daß es unter Einwirken der Schwerkraft nicht fließfähig ist. Vorzugsweise ist es dann besonders thixotrop und strukturviskos, das heißt es weist bei Scherung eine deutlich niedrigere Viskosität auf und ist unter Einwirken der Schwerkraft fließfähig, wobei es besonders bevorzugt eine scheinbare Viskosität von etwa 80 000 bis 120 000 Pas bei 25°C und einer Schergeschwindigkeit von 0,0001 s-1 - zu ermitteln mit einem CS-Rheometer der Firma Bohlin mit Meßsystem Platte/Platte, Plattenabstand 4 mm - aufweist. Bei Einwirkung von ausreichenden Scherkräften, zum Beispiel einer Schergeschwindigkeit von 0,1 s-1 und ansonsten gleichen Meßbedingungen, weist ein erfindungsgemäßes Mittel vorzugsweise eine erheblich, in der Regel 100- bis 1000-fach niedrigere Viskosität auf. Die Viskositätserniedrigung bei Scherung ist weitgehend reversibel, daß heißt nach Beendigung der Scherung geht das Mittel ohne Auftreten von Entmischung wieder in seinen ursprünglichen physikalischen Zustand über. In diesem Zusammenhang ist zu beachten, daß sich die genannten Viskositäten nicht auf Messungen direkt nach Herstellung der Paste beziehen, sondern auf gelagerte, sozusagen im Gleichgewicht befindliche Pasten, da die im Rahmen des Herstellprozesses einwirkenden Scherkräfte zu einer niedrigeren Pastenviskosität führen, welche sich erst im Lauf der Zeit zur maßgeblichen Endviskosität erhöht. Lagerzeiten von 1 Monat sind dafür in der Regel völlig ausreichend.A paste-like composition according to the invention preferably has a viscosity at 25 ° C. in the range from 60,000 mPa.s to 100,000 mPa.s, in particular 70,000 mPa.s to 90,000 mPa.s, measured with a Brookfield rotary viscometer (Spindel.Nr 7) at 5 revolutions per minute. These viscosity values refer to the reading after a measuring time of 3 minutes to take into account any possible thixotropic effect of the paste. The pasty washing and cleaning agent has in one special embodiment of the invention preferably at room temperature such a viscosity that it is not flowable under the action of gravity. Preferably, it is then particularly thixotropic and structurally viscous, that is, it has a significantly lower viscosity in shear and is flowable under the action of gravity, with it particularly preferred an apparent viscosity of about 80,000 to 120,000 Pas at 25 ° C and a shear rate from 0.0001 s -1 - to be determined with a CS-Rheometer from Bohlin with measuring system plate / plate, plate distance 4 mm - has. When exposed to sufficient shear forces, for example, a shear rate of 0.1 s -1 and otherwise the same measurement conditions, an agent according to the invention preferably has a considerable, typically 100 to 1000 times lower viscosity. The reduction in viscosity under shear is largely reversible, that is, after completion of the shear, the agent goes back to its original physical state without the occurrence of segregation. In this context, it should be noted that the viscosities mentioned refer not to measurements directly after preparation of the paste, but to stored, so to speak in equilibrium pastes, since the shear forces acting in the context of the manufacturing process lead to a lower paste viscosity, which only in Course of time increased to the relevant final viscosity. Storage periods of 1 month are generally sufficient.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Mittel weist normalerweise eine Dichte im Bereich von 1,3 kg/l bis 1,6 kg/l auf. Das erfindungsgemäße Mittel kann mit gebräuchlichen Geräten zur Dosierung von Pasten dosiert werden, wie sie zum Beispiele in der internationalen Patentanmeldung
Die in der nachfolgenden Tabelle angegebenen Substanzen wurden miteinander vermischt und in einer Mahlvorrichtung (Walzenstuhl, kontinuierlicher Durchsatz) gemahlen. Man erhielt direkt nach Herstellung fließfähige pastenförmige Waschmittel M1 bis M6. Die Mittel wiesen eine Dichte von ca. 1,4 g/cm3 und eine Viskosität (gemessen bei 25 °C mit einem Brookfield-Rotationsviskosimeters DV-II mit Spindel Nr. 7 bei 5 Umdrehungen pro Minute nach einer Meßdauer von 3 Minuten) von ca. 80 000 mPa.s auf. Die Viskosität der Pasten änderte sich bei Lagerung über 3 Monate nicht signifikant.

Die Prüfungen erfolgten nach den Anforderungen "4.2 Chemothermische Wäschedesinfektion" (Stand: April 1998) der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie. Nach dem Stand des Wissens ist davon auszugehen, daß in chemothermischen Wäschedesinfektionsverfahren bei Temperaturen von 60 °C und darüber der Testkeim Enterococcus faecium resistenter ist als Tuberkuloseerreger und die früher eingesetzten weiteren Testkeime Staphylococcus aureus, Candida alibicans und Escherichia coli.
Die Ergebnisse der quantitativen Suspensionsversuche bei 60 °C zeigen, daß mit dem für das Verfahren in der Waschmaschine interessierenden Zusatz des Waschmittels M1 (3,0 g/Liter) Reduktionsfaktoren von ≥ 5 log10-Einheiten binnen 10 Minuten erzielt wurden.The tests were carried out according to the requirements "4.2 Chemothermic laundry disinfection" (as of April 1998) of the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology. According to the current state of knowledge, it can be assumed that in chemothermic laundry disinfection processes at temperatures of 60 ° C. and above, the test germ Enterococcus faecium is more resistant than tuberculosis pathogens and the previously used further test bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Candida alibicans and Escherichia coli.
The results of the quantitative suspension experiments at 60 ° C show that reduction factors of ≥ 5 log 10 units were achieved within 10 minutes with the addition of the detergent M1 (3.0 g / liter) of interest for the method in the washing machine.
Auch in den Prüfungen der Eignung des chemothermischen Waschdesinfektionsverfahrens unter erschwerten Bedingungen mit 12,5 ml Blutzusatz pro Kilogramm Wäsche wurden Reduktionsverfahren größer als 8,5 log10-Einheiten nachgewiesen.Also in the tests of the suitability of the chemothermal wash disinfection process under severe conditions with 12.5 ml blood supplement per kilogram of wash, reduction procedures greater than 8.5 log 10 units were detected.
Bei Einsatz der Mittel M2 bis M6 aus Beispiel 1 ergaben sich ähnlich gute Desinfektionsergebnisse. When agents M2 to M6 from Example 1 were used, similarly good disinfection results were obtained.
