Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of solid washing, rinsing and cleaning agents and relates to new defoamer granules for solid washing, rinsing and cleaning agents, processes for their preparation and the use of the granules for the production of solid surface-active preparations.
  • Detergents for household and industrial laundry generally contain organic surfactants, builders and numerous organic and inorganic additives.
  • the surfactants used for the laundry usually tend to develop foam during use, which has a negative effect on the cleaning result. Therefore there is a practical need to control the development of foam during use.
  • Silicones have proven to be particularly suitable defoamers, which are generally applied to carrier materials and, if appropriate, are used in solid detergents, dishwashing detergents and cleaning agents, coated with other organic defoaming substances.
  • DE 3128631 A1 discloses the production of foam-damped detergents containing silicone defoamers which are microencapsulated.

  • the disintegrants can be macroscopically distributed homogeneously in the molded body, but microscopically they form zones of increased concentration due to the manufacturing process.
  • the preferred disintegrants include polysaccharides, such as, for example, natural starch and its derivatives (carboxymethyl starch, starch glycolates in the form of their alkali salts, agar agar, guar gum, pectins, etc.), celluloses and their derivatives (carboxymethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose), polyvinylpyrrolidone, collidone, alginic acid and their alkali salts, amorphous or also partially crystalline layered silicates (bentonites), polyurethanes, polyethylene glycols and gas-generating systems.
