Definitions
- the invention is in the field of solid detergents, dishwashing detergents and cleaning agents and relates to new surfactant granules which are distinguished by an improved dissolution rate, a process for their preparation and their use.
- surfactants in a granular, practically anhydrous form are preferably used for the production of solid detergents, dishwashing detergents and cleaning agents.
- a wide variety of methods have proven to be suitable for producing such forms of supply.
- What is common to the commercially available surfactant granules, however, is that they have an inadequate dissolution rate, especially in cold water.
- detergent tablets, which are produced on the basis of anionic or nonionic surfactants cannot be used directly in the washing-up chamber of the washing machine, despite the use of considerable amounts of disintegrants, but must be added directly to the washing liquor.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide surfactant granules which decompose particularly quickly without contact with cold water without the formation of a gel phase, so that the disadvantages of the prior art are reliably overcome.
- the invention relates to surfactant granules with an improved dissolution rate, which are obtained by granulating and compacting surface-active proteins and / or protein derivatives, optionally together with anionic and / or nonionic surfactants in the presence of disintegrants.

- the press rolls can also be conical in the plate devices, in the ring-shaped devices dies and press roll (s) can have the same or opposite direction of rotation.
- An apparatus suitable for carrying out the method is described, for example, in German laid-open specification DE 3816842 A1.
- the ring die press disclosed in this document consists of a rotating ring die interspersed with press channels and at least one press roller which is operatively connected to its inner surface and which presses the material supplied to the die space through the press channels into a material discharge.
- the ring die and the press roller can be driven in the same direction, which means that a reduced shear stress and thus a lower temperature increase in the premix can be achieved.
- the temperature of the pressing tools that is to say the pressure rollers or pressure rollers, is preferably at most 150 ° C., preferably at most 100 ° C. and in particular at most 75 ° C.
- Particularly preferred production processes work in roller compacting with process temperatures which are 10 ° C., in particular a maximum of 5 ° C. above the melting temperature or the upper temperature limit of the melting range of the binder.
- Shaped bodies preferably tablets, are generally produced by tableting or press agglomeration.
- the particulate press agglomerates obtained can either be used directly as detergents or aftertreated and / or prepared beforehand by customary methods.
- the usual aftertreatments include, for example, powdering with finely divided ingredients from detergents or cleaning agents, which generally further increases the bulk density.
- a preferred aftertreatment is also the procedure according to German patent applications DE 19524287 A1 and DE 19547457 A1, in which dusty or at least finely divided ingredients (the so-called fine fractions) are adhered to the particulate end products of the process, which serve as the core, and thus give rise to means , which have these so-called fines as an outer shell.
- the solid detergents are in tablet form, these tablets preferably having rounded corners and edges, in particular for storage and transport reasons.
- the base of these tablets can be circular or rectangular, for example.
- Multi-layer tablets, in particular tablets with 2 or 3 layers, which can also have different colors, are particularly preferred. Blue-white or green-white or blue-green-white tablets are particularly preferred.
- the tablets can also contain pressed and unpressed parts.
- Shaped articles with a particularly advantageous dissolution rate are obtained if the granular constituents, prior to pressing, have a proportion of particles which have a diameter outside the range from 0.02 to 6 mm of less than 20, preferably less than 10,% by weight.
- a particle size distribution in the range from 0.05 to 2.0 and particularly preferably from 0.2 to 1.0 mm is preferred. Examples
- Manufacturing example H2 1000 g of cellulose (Technocel® 150) were mixed with 300 g of protein fatty acid condensate (Lamepon® SCE-B), 200 g of coconut alkyl oligoglucoside (Glucopon® 600 CSUP, 50% by weight aqueous paste, Cognis Deutschland GmbH / DE) and 150 g of a polyethylene glycol wax mixed with an average molecular weight of 4000 in a mixer and the water content reduced by drying to 12 wt .-%. The extrusion was then carried out at 45 ° C. through a sieve plate (diameter of the bores: 2 mm). The crude product was crushed and a sieve fraction between 1.2 and 1.6 mm was removed.
- Lamepon® SCE-B protein fatty acid condensate
- Glucopon® 600 CSUP 50% by weight aqueous paste, Cognis Germany GmbH / DE
- Comparative Example V Surfactant granules consisting of 50% by weight protein fatty acid condensate (Lamepon® SCE-B), 5% by weight coconut alkyl sulfate sodium salt, 5% by weight soda, 10% by weight sodium silicate and 30% by weight sodium sulfate; Sieve fraction between 1.2 and 1.6 mm.
- Comparative example V2 Granular surfactant consisting of 95% by weight protein fatty acid condensate (Lamepon® SCE-B), sieve fraction between 1.2 and 1.6 mm.
