EP1529006B1 - Dispenser bottle for at least two active fluids - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a dispenser bottle comprising a receptacle (1) for a first active fluid and at least one, preferably and more precisely a second receptacle (2) for a second active substance, wherein both receptacles (1,2) are embodied separately, are connected to one another or form a single piece. The receptacles (1,2) have an outlet (3;4) for the active fluid, said outlets (3;4) being arranged next to one another in such a way that both active fluids can be applied in a common application field (5) of an application area. The inventive dispenser bottle is characterized in that the receptacles (1,2) are embodied as compressible containers and the outlets (3;4) are provided with at least one, preferably and more precisely just one discharge nozzle (6;7) so that the active fluids are mixed with one another only after exiting from the discharge nozzle (6,7). One particular provision in this regard is that the shape and sizes of the discharge nozzles (6,7) and the properties, more particularly the viscosities, of the active fluids are harmonized with one another so that the fluid flows overlap at a given, precalculated distance when average pressure is manually applied by the user.

Description

The invention relates to a dispenser bottle having at least two receptacles for drug fluids which can be stored separately from one another and having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

From some fields of application, in particular in the field of cleaning of surfaces, the use of drug fluids is known, which are to be stored separately or must. These drug fluids should meet shortly before or during application to the application area, such as a floor, the surface of a toilet bowl, etc., meet. Examples include chlorine-containing bleaching, cleaning, descaling and disinfecting agents (e.g., WO 98/21308 A2). Active fluids of the type in question are also applied, for example, to surfaces in the bathroom or in other hygienically sensitive areas.

Active fluids are stored in different receptacles, in particular when they are not together stable in storage. But other reasons for a separate storage of active fluids, which are to be applied together, are known, for example, different colors that should communicate different functions of the active fluids, different light sensitivities etc ..

The dispenser bottle for at least two different non-storage-stable active fluids from which the invention is based (US Pat. No. 6,341,716 B1, WO 98/21308 A2 and US Pat. No. 5,398,846 A) has a separate one from the other Chamber, which form the receptacles, having bottle, which is provided at the upper end with immediately adjacent outlets for the active fluids in the two receptacles. In a receptacle is a first aqueous solution and in the second receptacle, a second aqueous solution. The concentration of the components in the two aqueous solutions is chosen so that when a certain amount of the first aqueous solution is mixed with a certain amount of the second aqueous solution, the acid bleaching solution desired in this prior art is the result.

The disclosure content of the two aforementioned prior published publications is incorporated by reference in the disclosure of the present patent application.

The dispenser bottle of the prior art described above, which forms the starting point, has a pump device which can be placed on the outlets of the two receptacles of the dispenser bottle. In the pumping device, the active fluids are brought together and ejected from a discharge nozzle in a common spray. the drug fluids are thus mixed together before they leave the ejection nozzle.

A similar dispenser bottle, in which a cross contamination between the two receptacles can be largely safely avoided, is also known (WO 91/04923 A1, DE 690 16 44 T2). In this dispenser bottle pump spray device is provided, but the outlets are simply open and provided with spouts and can be closed again by means of a cap. For a spray application, however, this dispenser bottle is not agreed.

Regardless of this, the disclosure content of these prior-published publications is incorporated by reference into the disclosure content of the present patent application for design details.

Especially for cleaning toilet bowl a dispenser bottle for a drug fluid with a receptacle made of flexible plastic and a discharge nozzle is known (EP 0 911 616 B 1), wherein for optimum application of the active fluid in the toilet bowl, in particular under its inner edge, the ejection nozzle as angled Metering tube is executed.

In detergents in liquid form, especially if they contain water, it may due to chemical incompatibility of the individual ingredients to negative interactions of these ingredients with each other and to decrease their activity and thus decrease the washing performance of the agent altogether, even if it is stored only relatively short becomes. This decrease in activity relates in principle to all detergent ingredients which carry out chemical reactions in the washing process in order to contribute to the washing result, in particular bleaches and enzymes, although surfactant or sequestering ingredients which are responsible for dissolution processes or complexing steps, in particular in the presence of said chemically reactive ingredients in aqueous systems are not unlimited shelf life. A possible way out, for example, results from the fact that the reactivity of the chemically active ingredients is not the same at all pH values, so that by appropriately adjusting the pH of the agent minimizes the harmful effect of an ingredient or its decomposition reaction can be. One difficulty, however, is that the minimum of the reactivity of the chemically active ingredients is not at the same pH, and therefore stabilization via the pH is not normally possible for all ingredients at the same time. A further difficulty arises from the fact that the lowest possible minimum in the minimum of reactivity during storage must change under conditions of use of the agent, so that the reactivity of the chemically active ingredients under the washing conditions can be higher and they are thus able to contribute to the washing result.

To solve this problem, it has been variously proposed in the prior art not to incorporate all detergent ingredients desirable for a good washing result simultaneously into a liquid detergent, but to provide the user of the detergent with several components which he will compound shortly before or during the washing process should and contain only mutually compatible ingredients that are used together under the conditions of use.

Thus, from the international patent application WO 00/11713 A1 a liquid detergent is known, which consists of at least two liquid sub-compositions, the drug fluids are stored separately from each other in a container with at least two chambers (receptacles) and of which at least one imine or Oxaziridine bleach activator and at least one other comprises an alkalizing agent, wherein at least one of the partial compositions contains a peroxygen bleach and each partial composition has a stability leading to the pH. When mixing the partial compositions The alkalizing agent increases the pH of the final composition so that bleach and bleach activator effectively react with each other.

European Patent EP 0 807 156 B1 discloses a dispenser with two chambers, the first chamber of which contains an aqueous composition of hydrogen peroxide or an organic peracid having a pH above 2 and below 7 and the second chamber containing an acid component and from which the contents are dispensed together or sequentially onto a surface such that the resulting mixture has a pH of at most 2.

International Patent Application WO 94/15465 A1 describes a two-pack system comprising on the one hand an aqueous aliphatic peracid and the second of an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution containing corrosion inhibitor, peracid and / or hydrogen peroxide stabilizer. The two solutions are combined to produce a disinfectant.

German Patent Application DE 100 24 251 A1 proposes a bleaching agent which comprises in a first component an aqueous 1 to 40% by weight aqueous imidoperoxycarboxylic acid dispersion and in a second component a substance mixture activating the first component, correspondingly separately Keep the dual-chamber bottle and mix the two components only during use. The second component, also referred to as a pH-regulating buffer solution in this document, consists of an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate which has been thickened with the aid of methylcellulose.

The teaching is now based on the problem to provide a dispenser bottle with at least two receptacles for two active fluids, which is inexpensive to produce and easy to handle by an operator and it allows to apply two active fluids separated from each other, but in an application field clashing.

The above-indicated problem is solved in the dispenser bottle with the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

The receptacles are preferably designed as compressible containers. By squeezing the receptacle by hand of an operator so the necessary internal pressure is generated in the receptacles to eject the drug fluid from the separately provided ejection nozzles. The required pressure can also be generated by gravity if the product delivery is not delivered upwards against gravity, such as in the toilet, but downwards, such as when applying cleaning agents for floor cleaning or entering detergents in the washing machine. The active fluids thus mix only after leaving the ejection nozzles in the application field. This results in the application of the two active fluids the desired product to be applied, in particular so the detergent, bleach, etc, which unfolds the desired effect in the application field.

The claimed dispenser bottle achieved the result described above with a structurally very simple and easy to handle solution, especially waiving a Pumpsprühvorrichtung. Thus, the claimed dispenser bottle for use as a mass product is ideally suited, especially for detergents of all kinds, especially for the toilet cleaning. But also for a variety of other applications, the claimed dispenser bottle can be used, for example, for the dosage of textile cleaning agents (detergents in washing machines, etc.), textile pretreatment agents (bleach, etc.), textile aftertreatment agents (fabric softener, etc.), for the dosage of manual and automatic dishwashing detergents and dishwashing aids (rinse aid, limescale removers, etc.), and finally also for the dosing of surface cleaners and surface treatment agents of all kinds.

For the purposes of the teaching of the present patent application, active fluids are to be understood as meaning all liquid and other flowable media, from low-viscosity to viscous to gelatinous to pasty substances. It is also possible to apply powdery and particulate active ingredients, such as granules, with the dispenser bottle according to the invention. On the one hand, the viscosity of the active substance fluids or fluidity of the active ingredients for the particular application of importance, on the other hand, and in a special way, the thixotropy of the active fluids is important (for the explanation of the term thixotropy, the phenomenon that certain active fluids at Liquefy the action of mechanical forces, after the end of the mechanical stress, but if necessary with a considerable time delay again solidify, so have a dependent on the action of mechanical forces viscosity, see RÖMPP LEXIKON chemistry, 10th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1999, Volume 6, page 4533).

Preferred embodiments and further developments of the teaching are the subject of the dependent claims.

Special and independent significance is assigned to an embodiment for which the design and the dimensions of the ejection nozzles and the properties, in particular the viscosities and / or the thixotropy, of the active fluids are coordinated so that - with average pressure of the hand an operator or pressure due to gravity - the fluid flows in, a certain, pre-calculated distance overlap. A particular embodiment consists in the fact that the nozzle channels of the ejection nozzles i.w. are aligned parallel to each other, but each have an asymmetrical to the total flow cross-section arranged cross-sectional constriction. The cross-sectional constrictions are arranged on the mutually facing sides of the nozzle channels such that the fluid fluids exiting under pressure have a mutually directed twist. This means that due to the clever design of the ejection nozzles, the streams of the active substance fluids emerging from the ejection nozzles flow toward one another in an arcuate manner and hit one another in a dependent on the outflowing pressure slightly varying distance from the ejection nozzles. Here then the application field of the application area can be located. This embodiment with the cross-sectional constrictions is of particular importance in particular when the active substance fluids are i.w. is similar thixotropic drug fluids.

The swirl effect is also caused when the openings of the nozzle channels of the Austoßdüsen are chamfered against each other, ie, the opening planes of the nozzle channels are angled to each other, wherein the longitudinal axis of the nozzle channel inner portion of the wall of the ejection nozzle is longer than the outer axis of the nozzle channel Section of the wall.

Further refinements and further developments emerge from the other subclaims.

The invention relates to a dispenser bottle as shown in Fig. 1a and 1b perspective and in Figs. 2a and 2b shown laterally. It can be seen on the left a first receptacle 1 for a first drug fluid and right a second receptacle 2 for a second active fluid. Basically, for the teaching of the invention that more than two receptacles 1,2 may be provided, for example, three receptacles for three active fluids or even four receptacles for four active fluids, which are intended to meet in the application area.

The drug fluids will often be non-shelf stable drug fluids; but this is not a mandatory requirement for the teaching of the invention. Reference may be made to the statements above. Likewise, reference may be made to the above statements with regard to the definition of the term of the active substance fluid in the sense of this patent application and the particular, preferred properties of such active substance fluids.

The two receptacles 1,2 are either carried out separately and connected to each other, for example by gluing or latching or another connecting element or, as in the illustrated embodiment, integral with each other. In that regard, reference may be made to the prior art explained for the different variants that can be chosen here. In fact, a dispenser bottle in which the two receptacles 1, 2 are made in one piece with one another is preferred. This will be explained later.

Figs. 3 and 4 show the receptacle 1,2 for the first embodiment of the dispenser bottle according to Fig. 1a and 2a separately. It can be seen that the receptacles each have an outlet 3,4 for the respective active substance fluid. The outlets 3, 4 are arranged adjacent to one another such that the two active substance fluids can be applied in a common application field 5, indicated in FIG. 11, of a larger application area. The special significance of this external mixing of the active substance fluids from the two receptacles 1, 2 has been pointed out in detail in the general part of the description; reference may be made to this. For the embodiment of the dispenser bottle according to FIGS. 1b and 2b, the receptacles were not shown separately, it would be different only that they have no holding area, since the application is carried out by pivoting and the liquid outlet due to gravity.

In the following, the dispenser bottle according to the invention is always explained as if there were only two receptacles 1,2 for two active fluids. The above-explained statement that also several receptacles can be used, it must be remembered, because the explanations should also apply to such multi-container dispenser bottles.

It is essential for the dispenser bottle according to the invention that the receiving containers 1, 2 are each provided with at least one outlet 3.4, in each case at least one, preferably with exactly one ejection nozzle 6, 7 so that the active substance fluids do not intercommunicate with one another until they have left the ejection nozzles 6, 7 be mixed. It is also essential for the dispenser bottle according to the first embodiment (Fig. 1a) that the receptacles 1, 2 are designed as compressible containers, since they are preferably used for a delivery of product against gravity as for a toilet rim dosage. The ejection nozzles 6, 7 are preferably inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the receptacles 1, 2. For the dispenser bottle according to the second embodiment (FIG. 2), it is furthermore essential that the ejection nozzles 6, 7 are parallel in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the receptacles 1, 2, since with this dispenser bottle, detergent preferably enters into the dispensing chamber of a washing machine or a dispensing aid for the dispenser The receptacles 1, 2 can be designed as compressible containers. The ejection nozzles 6, 7 are first recognized in FIGS. 6 a and 6 b, and then in FIG. 8 as well and shown schematically in Fig. 11 a, b.

As a result of the claimed embodiment of the dispenser bottle, the pressure for pushing out the active substance fluids from the receiving containers 1, 2 is applied by the hand of an operator or by gravity after giving more than 90 °. The active fluids leave under pressure the ejection nozzles 6, 7, to which they flow from the outlets 3, 4 of the two receptacles 1, 2. Only after leaving the ejection nozzles 6,7 arises, depending on the pressure exerted by the operator, at a certain distance, the meeting of the Flows of the active fluids and their mixing to the applicable product in the application area.

The illustrated and preferred embodiment of FIG. 1a, 2a now further shows that the receptacle 1.2 consist of a material with a return characteristic and / or have a provision in the original shape supporting shaping. In particular, it is recommended to produce the receptacle 1,2 made of a resiliently elastic plastic material. Such a material for the receiving containers 1, 2 can be, for example, a polyolefin, in particular a polypropylene (PP), a polyethylene (PE), a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a polyethylene terephthalate (PET), in particular a glycol-modified polyethylene. Terephthalate (PETG), act. In that regard, may again be made to the already explained at the outset plastic spray bottle EP 0 911 616 B1. Such materials are also suitable for the present application.

It is interesting in the above-described embodiment of the receptacle 1,2 that can be connected by the special geometry of the receptacle 1,2 in conjunction with the material used optimal compressibility with a uniform Rücksaugeffekt for the drug fluids. A consistent, effective back suction effect for the active fluids from the ejection nozzles 6, 7 back into the receptacles 1, 2 is important for clean product separation at the outer ends of the ejection nozzles 6, 7 upon completion of the feedstock fluid dosage.

Overall, the use of plastic containers with appropriate return characteristic is cost-effective and allows regardless effective dosage of drug fluids in the desired, previously explained manner without premixing.

The illustrated in the drawings embodiments of a dispenser bottle according to the invention shows for the receptacle 1.2 concretely equal volumes and mirror image same shape. In principle, it would also be possible to provide different volumes, if one achieved by the shape, wall thickness and choice of material of the receptacle 1.2, that the desired dosage of the drug fluids, then different, is achieved from the receptacles 1.2. Typical volumes of receptacles 1, 2 within the scope of the budget are between 50 ml and 1500 ml, with a preferred range between 300 ml and 500 ml for each of the receptacles 1, 2. Of course, this is application-specific and depends on the drug fluids.

The illustrated and preferred embodiments of FIGS. 1a and 1b can be seen in particular in Fig. 4, but also in Fig. 6a and 6b recognize that the receptacle 1,2 as each completed containers and only over at least one, preferably just one between the Receiving containers 1.2 formed connecting web 8 are connected to each other. The connecting web 8 is preferably integrally formed on the mutually facing inner sides of the receptacle 1.2, in particular formed, for example, in the blow molding process with the receptacles 1.2 at the same time. It is particularly expedient if the connecting web 8 is arranged approximately centrally and extends iw - possibly with interruptions - over the full length of the receptacle 1.2. The connecting web 8 thus forms a stiffening element for the mutually facing walls of the receptacle 1,2, stabilizes them and at the same time leads to the design of a Abutment for the exerted by the hand of the operator pressure forces. Overall, the receptacle should 1, 2 together have such a cross-section that they can be covered by the hand of an operator in any case for the most part.

Previously, the blow molding process has already been addressed as a convenient method of manufacturing the receptacles 1,2. With a corresponding modification, in particular of the blow-molding process, it is possible that the receptacles 1, 2, which are embodied in one piece with one another, have a different translucency and / or a different coloration. In particular, it may be advisable, despite a one-piece design opaque a receptacle, the other receptacle transparent or run in several receptacles, the receptacle in different colors. It has been shown that some drug fluids are photosensitive. Other active substance fluids to be administered in conjunction with the respective active substance fluid are less sensitive to light. An opaque coloring of the receptacle provided for the more photosensitive active substance fluid eliminates problems here.

With regard to the handling by an operator, the dispenser bottle shown in the drawings according to Fig. 1a, 2a further characterized by the fact that on the receptacles 1,2 from the hand of an operator to comprehensive holding area 9 by special edge formations 10,11 and / or Surface designs formed and / or identified. One recognizes this particularly well in Fig. 1 and 2. The recessed grip literally enticed to enclose the dispenser bottle from here by hand. The dispenser bottle has a specific position relative to the hand of the operator, which by the edge formations 10.11 is specified. For example, corrugations, other colorations, etc. are also suitable as surface designs.

With regard to the dimensions, it has proved to be expedient not to let the receiving containers 1, 2 be too large in order not to obstruct the handling. Preferred dimensions result in such a way that the receptacles 1, 2 in cross-section in the area of the holding area 9 to be encompassed by the hand of an operator have an outer circumference of approximately 18 to approximately 30 cm, preferably approximately 20 to approximately 28 cm, in particular of about 22 to about 26 cm, in particular of about 24 cm.

It has already been explained above what is done by the dispenser bottle with the receptacles 1, 2 designed according to the invention. With particular reference to Figs. 6a and 6b, Figs. 8, 11a and 11b, Fig. 12 can be explained so far that the design and dimensions of the ejection nozzles 6,7 and the properties of the active fluids are coordinated in that - at average pressure from the hand of an operator or pressure caused by gravitation - the fluid flows come into coverage at a certain distance. In particular, this means that in the illustrated embodiment of a dispenser bottle, the fluid flows at a distance about 50 mm to about 300 mm, preferably from about 100 mm to about 250 mm, in particular of about 150 mm, come in overlap. So that's about the distance between the ejection nozzles 6,7 and the application field. This corresponds to the usual distances in the dimensions as they are to be observed in the household cleaning measures.

With regard to the viscosity of the active substance fluids, it is recommended to use active substance fluids with viscosities in the range from 1 to 100,000 mPas, preferably to use about 10,000 mPas, in particular up to about 1,000 mPas. This information is based on the viscosity measured using a Brookfield LVT-II viscometer at 20 rpm. and 20 ° C, spindle 3.

Aqueous solutions of the type already mentioned in the general part of the description should frequently be used (see also US Pat. No. 5,911,909 A and US Pat. No. 5,972,239 A, whose disclosure content is likewise included in the disclosure content of the present patent application by reference). It has already been pointed out above that it can be of particular importance for the teaching of the present invention if at least one of the active substance fluids is a thixotropic active substance fluid. In particular, however, all drug fluids used should be thixotropic, preferably with approximately the same thixotropy. In that regard, reference may be made to the above reference of RÖMPP for the explanation of the complex relationships of thixotropic drug fluids.

Figs. 3 and 4 show the receptacle 1,2 with the outlets 3,4. In this case, the outlets 3,4 are aligned parallel to each other. A pre-alignment of the streams of the active fluids can also be provided by already aligning the outlets 3, 4 of the receiving containers 1, 2 slightly inclined towards one another. In terms of manufacturing, however, the illustrated parallel alignment has advantages.

In principle, it is possible, but not with the actual blow molding process implemented here, to mold the ejection nozzle 6, 7 at the outlet 3, 4 integrally on the receptacle 1, 2. However, this variant has not been chosen in the illustrated embodiment. In the illustrated embodiment, it is rather provided that the ejection nozzle: 6, 7 is arranged or formed in a separate, consisting of a dimensionally stable plastic nozzle head 12 and that the nozzle head 12 at the outlet 3, 4 on the receptacle 1, 2 is placed. The nozzle head 12 is identified in the figures by reference numeral 12. In the illustrated embodiment, it is true that the nozzle head 12 is latched onto the receptacle 1, 2. Of the. Nozzle head 12 can also be connected to the receptacle 1, 2 in a different way. A snapping is recommended, however, as a particularly simple and convenient manufacturing technique.

For latching the nozzle head 12 on the respective receptacle 1, 2, it is advisable to provide at the outlet 3, 4 of the receptacle 1, 2 corresponding locking connection means for mating locking connection means of the nozzle head 12. Such locking connection means are known in corresponding constructions of the prior art. In principle, other connection techniques such as screw connections are applicable.

The illustrated and preferred embodiments are characterized in particular by the fact that the nozzle heads 12 of the two receptacles 1, 2 are combined in a common nozzle head 12. This common nozzle head 12 can be seen in Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10 and 12, 14. The manufacturing technology is very convenient and the connection of the two receptacles 1,2 well adapted.

It is advisable to make the nozzle head 12 of a stiffer plastic material, so that the nozzle head 12 undergoes only slight deformation when the receptacle 1.2 of the dispenser bottle are compressed.

There are now a number of design options for the nozzle head 12, which will be explained below. The nozzle head 12 can be seen in the illustrations given above, as well as in FIGS. 5 and 6. The nozzle head 12 can be seen particularly well in section in FIGS. 8, 9, 10. It is shown that the flow of the active substance fluid in the Nozzle head 12 is expedient that the ejection nozzle 6, 7 in the nozzle head 12 asymmetrically, in particular with respect to the center line of the outlet 3, 4 offset in the direction of the further ejection nozzles 7, 6 is arranged. This can be seen in Fig. 8 particularly well. The flow of the active substance fluid out of the respective receptacle 1, 2 is brought to the desired distance from the active substance fluid flowing in parallel.

One recognizes here a constructive solution that ensures a laminar flow. Namely, it is provided that the nozzle head 12 has an inflow volume 13 tapering from the outlet 3, 4 of the receptacle 1, 2 to the ejection nozzle 6, 7. This inflow volume 13 can be understood particularly well in FIGS. 8 and 9.

The illustrated and preferred embodiment shows a dimensioning such that the lateral center distance of the ejection nozzles 6, 7 is on the outside about 5 mm to about 30 mm, preferably about 15 mm to about 20 mm.

It can be seen from FIGS. 1a, 1b and 2a, 2b and from FIG. 10 that it is also provided for the dispenser bottles shown here that the ejection nozzle 6, 7 can be closed with a removable closure cap 14, which preferably consists of a dimensionally stable plastic , It is provided that the closure cap 14 a in the ejection nozzle 6; has incoming sealing plug 15. This technique is already proven to avoid cross-contamination (see above WO 91/04923 A1). In another embodiment, as shown in Fig. 14 and 15, the closure cap 14 laterally adjacent to the in the ejection nozzle 6, 7 entering stopper 15 each have a convex to the longitudinal axis of the cap 14 curved cylinder portion 19 as a positioning aid. This cylinder portion 19 is spaced from the sealing plug 15 such that the free ends of the cylinder portion 19 abut on the ejection nozzles 6, 7 in the locking position. When placing the cap 14 on the dispenser bottle, the lower end of the cylinder portions 19 slide along the inclined surfaces of the ejection nozzles 6, 7, the movement is forced. The placement of the closure cap 14 with the cylinder portions 19 as positioning aids and the sealing plug 15 on the ejection nozzles 6,7 is shown schematically in Fig. 14.

The illustrated and preferred embodiments show, particularly clearly visible in Fig. 1 a, 1 b and 14, that also applies to the cap 14 that this is summarized for both ejection nozzles 6,7 of the two receptacles 1,2 together. This is manufacturing technology appropriate, as well as the nozzle head 12 has been explained as appropriate. Conveniently, the cap 14 is made of a similar or the same plastic material as the nozzle head 12th

It can be seen from the drawings that the ejection nozzles 6, 7-of course-have a nozzle channel 16 or 17, respectively. It could be provided that the nozzle channels 16,17 of the ejection nozzles 6,7 are inclined towards each other. Then the exiting streams would have the Active substance fluid already an alignment on a common application field 5. The illustrated and so far preferred embodiment shows, however, that the nozzle channels 16,17 of the ejection nozzles 6,7 are aligned parallel to each other. A slight inclination in the context of eg the manufacturing tolerances is of course acceptable.

In particular, in the case of the last-explained embodiment shown in the drawing with the nozzle channels 16, 17 aligned parallel to one another, it is particularly expedient if the nozzle channels 16, 17 of the ejection nozzles 6, 7 each have a cross-sectional constriction 18 arranged asymmetrically with respect to the overall flow cross-section.

In the general part of the description has already been pointed to the particular importance of the cross-sectional constriction 18 in the respective nozzle channel 16 and 17 respectively. This can be understood with reference to FIGS. 11a and 11b.

The cross-sectional constriction 18 in the respective nozzle channel 16, 17 leads to a certain twist being imparted to the streams of the active substance fluids, so that a certain diversion takes place in each case in the exit region of the ejection nozzles 6, 7, so that the streams of the active substance fluids then flow in the application field Distance, which in some way depends on the pressure of the hand of the operator on the receptacles 1,2, impinge mingling.

Thus, a combination of the streams of the active substance fluids is not achieved by aligning the nozzle channels 16, 17, but by influencing the flow. In addition, a complete coverage of the streams of drug fluids in the application field 5 and not only a partial coverage achieved by scattering effect, as could occur with unmodified nozzle channels 16, 17.

The last explained, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention now needs further explanation.

11a, 11b above shows the functional principle of the cross-sectional constrictions 18, below an example of the arrangement of the cross-sectional constrictions 18 in the adjacent nozzle channels 16,17. Here, it can be seen first that in the illustrated preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional constrictions 18 of the nozzle channels 16,17 are executed with angular transitions. In terms of flow, this results in different flow velocities occurring over the flow cross-section of the nozzle channel 16, 17. Distanced from the cross-sectional constriction 18, the active fluid can flow relatively undisturbed, it maintains a high flow velocity with laminar flow. At the cross-sectional constriction 18, on the other hand, there is a substantially increased flow velocity in the narrowest cross section, but when leaving the constriction a strong reduction in the flow velocity is associated with the formation of turbulence. The overall leads to the above-mentioned swirl-like behavior of the streams of drug fluids.

11a, 11b that the cross-sectional constrictions 18 are arranged on the mutually facing sides of the nozzle channels 16, 17, in such a way that the flows of the active fluid emerging under pressure have such a twist that they run towards one another. In contrast to the embodiment of Fig. 11a, the embodiment according to. 11b shows an oblique opening plane of the nozzle channels 16, 17, cf. The chamfering of the ends of the nozzle channels also produces the swirl effect due to different flow velocities in the outlet. The swirl effect is caused by the fact that the openings of the nozzle channels of the Austoßdüsen are chamfered against each other. The opening planes of the nozzle channels 6, 7 are arranged at an angle to one another, wherein the section of the wall of the ejection nozzle lying inwards to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle channel is longer than the section of the wall lying outside the longitudinal axis of the nozzle channel. In a non-illustrated embodiment, only inclined openings at the end of the nozzle channel, but not provided a cross-sectional constriction in the nozzle channel to generate the swirl effect.

In the illustrated embodiment according to FIG. 11a, 11b, the respective cross-sectional constriction 18 is designed as an inwardly arched arc. FIGS. 12a and 12b show further expedient cross-sectional configurations. Here, with the different active substance fluids, it will also be possible to choose different cross-sectional shapes for the cross-sectional constrictions 18 as well as for the nozzle channels 16, 17.

For the effect of the cross-sectional constriction 18, it has been found to be advantageous if this does not occur over the full length of the nozzle channel 16, 17, but is limited to a short piece of this length. It is therefore recommended that the length of the cross-sectional constriction 18 of the nozzle channel 16, 17 is only a part of the length of the nozzle channel 16, 17 in total. In particular, it is recommended that the aspect ratio is about 1: 2 to 1: 4, preferably about 1: 2.5 to 1: 3.

For the field of application in the household, which is particularly in the eye here, and the use of low-viscosity, preferably thixotropic active substance fluids, it is recommended that the total length of the nozzle channel 16, 17 be about 2 mm to about 6 mm, preferably about 3 mm to about 5 mm, in particular approximately 4 mm. Accordingly, the diameter of the nozzle channel 16, 17 is about 1.0 mm to about 4.0 mm, preferably about 1.5 mm to about 3.5 mm, in particular about 2.0 mm to about 2.5 mm ,

Is thus the structural design of the dispenser bottle according to the invention i.w. fully described, it is now to go further; which types of active substance fluids can be applied in a particularly expedient manner with such a dispenser bottle. There are a variety of functional combinations and recipes, which will be discussed below.

The types of drug fluids, which are applied with the dispenser bottle according to the invention, are directed primarily to the field of application. For example, for purposes of disinfection (e.g., for toilet cleaning), combinations of active fluids other than detergents, dishwashing or corrosion inhibitors are used.

In the claims 39 to 51 particularly preferred combinations of active substance fluids are described according to the invention, as they are used for different applications. However, these various combinations of drug fluids are only to be understood as examples and in no way restrict the scope of the dispenser bottle according to the invention to the combinations mentioned there.

Furthermore, it is possible to use as different active fluids for the various receptacles 1,2 such drug fluids, as they are known for two- or multi-phase cleaning agents, but different from the known two- or multi-phase cleaning agents, the different phases of this Detergent be prepared in the various receptacles 1,2.

The teaching of the present invention also provides various uses of a dispenser bottle for which reference may be made to claim 54. Specific application examples, by means of which the invention again in individual applications can be followed, follow here. These do not limit the teaching of the present invention.

EXAMPLES Example 1:

Example 1 specifies different formulations of active substance fluids that can be used in a dispenser bottle according to the invention for toilet cleaning.

Liquid toilet cleaners are well known in the market. Such products usually contain inorganic or organic acids for the removal of lime and rust deposits, as well as surfactants for cleaning support, abrasives, viscosity regulators, antibacterial additives, dye and perfume for odor removal. In addition, alkaline WC cleaners are known which are formulated on the basis of sodium hypochlorite, surfactants and the above-mentioned additional components. These products have a good bleaching and disinfecting effect, but are unable to remove calcareous soils. Furthermore, acid-free formulations are on the market, which, although having no limescale removal or bleaching action, but by the surfactant support the cleaning performance of organic stains and are easier to perfume due to the lack of acid and bleaching components. However, these cleaners are not very effective in removing stubborn dirt.

All traditionally known toilet cleaner has in common that they are offered in monotank plastic bottles with special dosing accessories. However, the formulation of a WC cleaner in a monotank bottle presupposes that the active ingredients used are compatible with one another and also have sufficient storage stability over a longer period of time. This leads to limitations in the formulation of effective cleaners, since the active ingredients used in the rule acid, bleach, perfume oil, abrasives can undergo undesirable reactions, at least for prolonged contact time.

The dispenser bottle according to the invention enables the expansion of the performance spectrum of toilet cleaners by the use of incompatible or reactive active ingredients. For example, acidic peroxide-containing detergents are extremely effective, both in their bleaching and disinfecting action and in the removal of limescale deposits, but have a low storage stability in conventional bottles. By introducing the peroxide solution into one and the acid into the second chamber of the dispenser bottle according to the invention, a cleaning agent which is stable over a considerably longer time is obtained. Another example is the combination of an alkaline, hypochlorite-containing bleach in a chamber with an acidic and hence lime-dissolving agent in the second chamber. The combination of an acidic agent with a carbonate-containing alkaline phase can be realized only in a dispenser bottle according to the invention. Mixing these two phases (when using the agent) releases carbon dioxide, causing the agent to foam and aid in cleaning performance.

The descaler phase agents described all show good lime release activity, with values according to the IKW standard test of 150 to 350 mg calcium carbonate for the 1: 1 mixture of the two phases.

The following formulation examples are by no means to be understood as exhaustive enumeration. Rather, all the active ingredients known to those skilled in the art can be used as constituents of cleaning agents in dispenser bottles according to the invention, such that useful combinations can be formulated within one phase. In particular, the stated quantities are not binding, but the above and other ingredients can be used within wide limits.

Formulation Examples: Formulation 1

• Container A: Product with highly acidic, perfume-free decalcifier phase
• Container B: High-quality scent phase

Container A: Descaling phase Acid, e.g. sulfamic 5.00 to 12.00% by weight Stabilizer, e.g. urea 2.00 to 6.50% by weight Nonionic surfactant, eg fatty alcohol ethoxylate C ₁₃ 8EO 0.50 to 5.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight Acid-stable thickener, e.g. Xanthan (polysaccharide) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 0.5 to 2.5 Container B: fragrance phase Nonionic surfactant, eg: B.

This formulation is not feasible in a single-chamber bottle, as high-quality perfume by acid influence are not sufficient storage stability. However, this is desirable because in addition to optimal limescale a long-lasting fragrance is desired.

Formulation 2:

Container A: Descaling phase Acid, e.g. sulfamic 5.00 to 12.00% by weight Stabilizer, e.g. urea 2.00 to 6.50% by weight Nonionic surfactant, e.g. Fettalkoholetho- 0.10 to 5.00% by weight xylate C ₁₃ 8EO Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight Acid-stable thickener, e.g. Xanthan (polysaccharide) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight tap water Ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 0.5 to 2.5 Container B: Fragrance phase with abrasive Nonionic surfactant, eg alkyl (C ₈ -C ₁₀ ) -1.5-glucoside 0.50 to 5.00% by weight ethanol 0.50 to 5.00% by weight Polysaccharide, e.g. xanthan 0.01 to 2.00% by weight Perfume, e.g. Outdoors (company Dragoco) 0.10 to 1.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Lumogen Yellow (BASF, C.I. Pigment Yellow 101) <0.03% Abrasive material, for example: aluminum oxide <0.1 μm 0.50 to 2.0% by weight Preservatives, e.g. Hemiacetals-isothiazolin combination <0.50% tap water ad. 100% Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31 at 20 n / min, pH value (conc.) 7.0 to 10.0

The stability of high-quality fragrances and abrasives can be optimally realized in alkaline medium. The combination of strongly acidic decalcifier with a fragrance and abrasive phase leads to mechanical and application with the toilet brush for performance and gloss enhancement on the toilet ceramic.

Formulation 3

• Receptacle B: Reduces acidified abrasive formula with fragrance phase

Receiving container A: Descaling phase with organic acids Acid, e.g. Formic acid, citric acid, mixtures 5.00 to 12.00% by weight Nonionic surfactant, eg alkyl (C ₈ -C ₁₀ ) -1.5-glucoside 0.10 to 6.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight Polysaccharide, e.g. xanthan 0.01 to 2.00% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 0.5 to 2.5 Receptacle B: Reduces acidified abrasive formula with fragrance phase Nonionic surfactant, eg alkyl (C ₈ -C ₁₀ ) -1.5-glucoside 0.50 to 5.00% by weight ethanol 0.50 to 5.00% by weight Acid, for example: formic acid, citric acid, mixtures 1.5 to 6% by weight Polysaccharide, e.g. xanthan 0.01 to 2.00% by weight Perfume, e.g. Lake Side (company Firmenich) 0.10 to 1.0% by weight Dye, e.g. Lumogen Yellow (BASF, C.I. Pigment Yellow 101) <0.03 wt% Abrasive material, for example: aluminum oxide <0.1 μm 0.50 to 5.00% by weight Preservatives, e.g. Hemiacetals-isothiazolin combination 0.10% tap water ad 100% Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 1.0 to 4.0

The perfume is selected so that sufficient stability is ensured in the reduced fragrance / abrasive phase. Reinforcing with the descaling phase (more acidified) provides maximum cleaning efficiency.

Formulation 4

• Container A: Product with highly acidic, perfume-free decalcifier phase
• Container B: High-quality perfumed reactive-foaming abrasive phase

Container A: Descaling phase Acid, e.g. sulfamic 5.00 to 12.00% by weight Stabilizer, e.g. urea 2.00 to 6.50% by weight Nonionic surfactant, eg fatty alcohol ethoxylate C ₁₃ 8EO 0.10 to 6.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight Acid-stable thickener, e.g. Xanthan (poly) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight saccharide) tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 0.5 to 2.5 Container B: High quality perfumed, reactive-foaming abrasive phase Anionic surfactant, eg sec. C _14-17 alkanesulfonate-Na 0.50 to 5.00% by weight reactive abrasive, e.g. Calcium carbonate fine, powder 0.10 to 2.00% by weight non-reactive abrasive, e.g. Alumina <0.1 μm 1.00 to 3.00% by weight Polysaccharide, e.g. xanthan 0.01 to 2.00% by weight Perfume, e.g. Outdoors (company Dragoco) 0.10 to 1.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Sicovit Quinoline Yellow 70E104 (BASF) <0.03% tap water ad. 100% Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 7.0 to 10.00

The use of a reactive abrasive component such as calcium carbonate is not possible in a 1-chamber bottle, since a decomposition reaction would occur due to the acid component with strong evolution of gas (carbon dioxide). However, the use of a reactive abrasive component is desirable when using the toilet brush, as it is signaled by the gas / foam development for the user on the ceramic surface optically visible effectiveness. In addition, the reaction achieves an improved spreading behavior and, due to the gas evolution, an optimal distribution of fragrance.

Formulation 5

• Container A : White alkaline abrasive phase
• Container B: Colorless, neutral cleaner with indicator

Container A: White alkaline abrasive phase Nonionic surfactants, eg fatty alcohol ethoxylate C _13-14 6EO, fatty alcohol C _12-14 , 6.4 EO, 1.2 PO, mixtures 0.10 to 6.00% by weight Alkali, e.g. Monoethanolamine 0.10 to 1.00% by weight Abrasive, e.g. Calcium carbonate 15 micron 15 to 40% by weight Perfume, e.g. Lemon (company Dragoco) 0.10 to 1.0% by weight Thickener, e.g. Rohagit (acrylate) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 750 to 2000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 8.0 to 11.0 Container B: Colorless, neutral cleaner with indicator Thickener, e.g. Xanthan (polysaccharide) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight ethanol 5.0 to 15.0% by weight Indicator, e.g. Phenolphthalein (1.0%) 0.50 to 2.00% by weight Demineralized water ad 100% by weight. Technical specifications: Viscosity: 350 to 800 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 7.0,

When using the two color-neutral detergent liquids, a color reaction on the ceramic surface (when using phenolphthalein as an indicator, for example, pink), which can be achieved only via the dispenser bottle according to the invention. The selection of suitable indicator dyes with specific pH ranges allows the application in the range neutral-alkaline or neutral-weakly acidic. Another exemplary indicator dye is Bromthymolblau with a color change from yellow to blue in the pH change from pH = 7 to pH = 8 conceivable. Bromphenol blue with a color change from yellow to violet in the pH change from pH = 2 to pH = 6 is exemplary for a color change of a weakly alkaline cleaner with an acidic cleaner. First, the color change should give the user an indication of the pH change and the with the associated cleaning effect, and on the other hand, the cleaning can be combined with a surprise effect. This is an interesting variant in marketing.

Formulation 6

• Container A: Product with acidic, perfumed descaling phase
• Container B: Product with alkaline Na hypochlorite phase with bleaching and disinfecting action

Container A: Product with acidic, perfumed descaling phase Acid, e.g. Sulfamic acid, citric acid, mixtures 7.00 to 18.00% by weight Nonionic surfactant, eg fatty alcohol ethoxylate C ₁₃ 8EO 0.10 to 5.00% by weight Alkali, for example caustic soda 0.10 to 2.00% by weight Acid-stable thickener, e.g. Xanthan (polysaccharide) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Green 6N <0.01% by weight Acid-stable perfume, eg. B. Fontana (company Dragoco) 0.10 to 1.00% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 0.5 to 3.0 Container B: Product with alkaline Na hypochlorite phase with bleaching and disinfecting action sodium hypochlorite 2.00 to 5.00% by weight Anionic surfactant, eg Na-alkylsulfate C ₁₂ - ₁₄ + 2EO 1.00 to 5.00% by weight, Alkali; e.g. caustic soda 0.50 to 2.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight Thickener, e.g. Xanthan (polysaccharide) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 200 to 600 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 11 to 14

The combination of acid (sulfamic acid) and sodium hypochlorite is not feasible in a 1-chamber bottle due to the immediate reaction of acid with bleach to form an unstable reaction product (chlorosulfamate). However, the combination is desirable for the consumer to use in addition to the effectiveness of the acid and the bleaching and disinfecting effect of the chlorine component. By adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to> pH 3, the formation of chlorine gas is prevented.

Formulation 7

• Container A: Product with acidic, perfumed descaling phase
• Receiving container B: Product with stabilized hydrogen peroxide phase with bleaching and disinfecting action

Container A: Product with acidic, perfumed descaling phase Acids, e.g. Citric acid, formic acid, mixtures 5.00 to 12.00% by weight Nonionic surfactant, eg fatty alcohol ethoxylate C ₁₃ 8EO 0.10 to 6.00% by weight Acid-stable thickener, e.g. Xanthan (polysaccharide) 0.01 to 2.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight Acid-stable perfume 0.1 to 1.0% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 0.5 to 2.5 Receiving container B: Product with stabilized hydrogen peroxide phase with bleaching and disinfecting action Nonionic surfactant, eg fatty alcohol ethoxylate C ₁₃ 8EO 0.10 to 6.00% by weight hydrogen peroxide 2.00 to 5.00% by weight ethanol 1.0 to 6.0% by weight Stabilizer, radical scavenger, mixtures 0.05 to 6.00% by weight Dye, e.g. Hostafine Blue B 2 G C.I. 74160 <0.01% by weight tap water ad 100% by weight Technical specifications: Viscosity: 500 to 1000 mPas, 20 ° C Rotovisko LVT, spindle 31, at 20 n / min pH value (conc.) 2.0 to 5.0

The combination of hydrogen peroxide and acid, thickened detergent with perfume is not feasible in a 1-chamber bottle, since the product stability is only low due to the effect of the peroxide, which manifests itself for example in a strong decrease in viscosity, but also in a change in the fragrance impression .. The combination is desirable for the consumer to use in addition to the effectiveness of the acid and the bleaching and disinfecting effect of hydrogen peroxide; the use of a thickener causes a longer adhesion of the detergent to the surface to be cleaned and thus an increase in the cleaning effect.

Examples 3:

Example 2 specifies different formulations of active substance fluids which can be used in a dispenser bottle according to the invention, also referred to below as a multichamber container, for the manual or automated washing of textiles. Example 3 shows that, surprisingly, it has been found that an optimum results from the viewpoint of storage stability and performance of the detergent under conditions of use when using a liquid detergent composition consisting of at least two hydrous subcomponents held separate from each other, a first partial organic peracid contains and a second component composition contains surfactant and enzyme.

The separation of the partial compositions preferably takes place in that they are present in the dispenser bottle according to the invention as a multi-chamber container, wherein the number of chambers (receptacles) of the container corresponds to the number of partial compositions and only one of the partial compositions is present in each of the chambers. Another object of the invention is therefore a combination of a liquid detergent composition defined herein, which consists of at least two, preferably exactly two sub-compositions as drug fluids, and a dispenser bottle, wherein the number of chambers of the container corresponds to the number of sub-compositions and in each one of Chambers each one of the sub-compositions is present. The chambers are either carried out separately and connected to each other or made integral with each other. Each of the chambers has at least one, preferably exactly one, outlet in the form of an outlet nozzle, from which the component composition can emerge from the respective chamber. This can be done by acting gravity, ie tilting the dispenser bottle so that the partial compositions of the liquid detergent composition flow out. In a further embodiment of the invention, the dispenser bottle is compressible so that the outflow of the partial compositions can be accelerated by a pressure on the dispenser bottle exerted, for example, by an operator's hand. Typically, the outlet of a liquid detergent container is provided with a closure cap, in the case of the present invention, the outlet of each chamber may be provided with its own cap or the cap may be formed so that it closes several, in particular all outlets of the dispenser bottle. The dispenser bottle may have grip recesses or handles for ease of handling by the user, the handle may be attached to one or more chambers, or may be part of a chamber, or more chambers each form a handle and they are joined together so that the Dispenser bottle or the multi-chamber container can be grasped by the hand of the user.

The separate storage in the dispenser bottle or the multi-chamber container causes the sub-compositions of the liquid detergent composition to mix only after leaving the outlets, for example when pouring into a conventional dispensing chamber of a washing machine or into the washing drum of such a washing machine to be introduced metering device, or when spraying the agent on a need to clean textile surface, for example in the context of laundry pre-treatment. In the latter embodiment of the spraying, it is preferred that the chambers of the multi-chamber container each have at least one, preferably exactly one ejection nozzle, and that the nozzle channels Although the ejection nozzles are aligned substantially parallel to each other, but each have an asymmetrical to the total flow cross-section arranged cross-sectional constriction. The cross-sectional constrictions are preferably arranged on the mutually facing sides of the nozzle channels in such a way that the sub-assemblies emerging under pressure have a mutually directed twist. This means that due to the clever design of the ejection nozzles, the streams of the sub-compositions emerging from the ejection nozzles flow towards one another in an arcuate manner and hit one another in a dependent on the outflowing pressure slightly varying distance from the ejection nozzles. Here then the application field of the application area can be located, for example, a soiling on a piece of laundry. The dispenser bottle may be made of a material having a return characteristic and / or may have a shape supporting the return to the original shape. In particular, it is recommended to make the dispenser bottle from a resiliently resilient plastic material. The material for the bottle body or the multi-chamber container is, for example, a polyolefin, in particular polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), in particular glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), act. If desired, the material may also be one or more colors, wherein the individual chambers of the multi-chamber container may have the same color or the same colors or different colors among each other. Multi-chamber containers are known, for example, from International Patent Applications WO 02/22467 A1, WO 97/23087 A1, WO 96/12648 A1, WO 95/16023 A1, WO 91/04923, German Patent Application DE 32 20 693 A1 or German Utility Model DE G 93 16 583 U1 known.

The liquid detergent composition of the invention does not contain a bleach activator.

Preferably, the first part composition as the first active fluid consists essentially of water and the organic peracid, which may be dissolved in water, but more preferably at least partially undissolved present in finely divided form. In addition, the first part composition may also contain organic acid corresponding to the organic peracid and small amounts of conventional stabilizers for bleaching agents, for example the vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymers known from European patent application EP 1 074 607 as dispersants and / or those from European patent EP 0 497 337 known nonionic surfactants and / or complexing agents, which counteract the metal-catalyzed decomposition of peracid. The content of organic peracid is preferably 1 wt .-% to 25 wt .-%, in particular 2 wt .-% to 20 wt .-% and particularly preferably 3% to 15 wt .-%, each based on the first part composition. The organic peracid may carry aliphatic and / or cyclic, including heterocyclic and / or aromatic, radicals. There are, for example, peroxoic acid, peroxoacetic acid, peroxopropionic acid, peroxohexanoic acid, peroxobenzoic acid and their substituted derivatives such as m-chloroperoxobenzoic acid, mono- or di-peroxophthalic acids, 1,12-diperoxododecanedioic acid, nonylamidoperoxoadipic acid, 6-hydroxyperoxohexanoic acid, 4-phthalimidoperoxobutanoic acid, 5-phthalimidoperoxopentanoic acid, 6 Phthalimidoperoxohexanoic acid, 7-phthalimidoperoxoheptanoic acid, N, N'-terephthaloyl-di-6-aminoperoxohexanoic acid, and mixtures of these. Preferred peracids include 6-phthalimidoperoxohexanoic acid. The first part composition preferably has an acidic pH, in particular in the range from pH 1.5 to pH 5 and more preferably from pH 2.5 to pH 4.5, which results from the presence of the organic peracid or more compatible with the system by addition Acids can be adjusted. The first part composition contains no hydrogen peroxide. By this is meant to be understood that it contains at most such a small amount of hydrogen peroxide which may eventually result from hydrolysis of the organic peracid. If desired, the first part composition in one embodiment of the invention may contain anionic acid compatible with the organic peracid in amounts of up to 50% by weight, in particular 10% by weight to 30% by weight, based in each case on the first part composition.

The second part composition as the second active substance fluid or each of the further optional subcompositions contains, in addition to surfactant, at least one enzyme and is free from oxidative bleaching agents. Mixtures of nonionic and anionic surfactant are particularly preferred, wherein the second subcomposition or any of the further subcomponents may contain a mixture of nonionic and anionic surfactant or at least the second part composition nonionic surfactant and at least one further part composition may contain anionic surfactant. Likewise, enzyme mixtures may be included in the partial compositions, or more enzymes may be distributed to the second and further partial compositions such that each of them contains only one enzyme. The second or at least one of the further partial compositions may be alkaline, so that after pouring out of the multi-chamber container, that is, when combining all partial compositions, a preparation results, which has a pH of preferably 4.5 to 10, especially 5 to 9. Preferably, the second part composition contains 8 wt .-% to 70 wt .-%, in particular 20 wt .-% to 55 wt .-% water.

The surfactants contained in the second subcomposition or the further subcompositions include, in particular, anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants, although cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants may also be suitable.

As anionic surfactants, preference is given to using one or more substances from the group of the carboxylic acids, the sulfuric acid half esters and the sulfonic acids, preferably from the group of the fatty acids, the fatty alkyl sulfuric acids and the alkylaryl sulfonic acids. In order to have sufficient surface-active properties, the compounds mentioned should have longer-chain hydrocarbon radicals, ie at least 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl or alkenyl radical. Usually, the C chain distributions of the anionic surfactants are in the range of 6 to 40, preferably 8 to 30 and especially 12 to 22 carbon atoms.

Carboxylic acids, which are used in the form of their alkali metal salts as soaps in detergents and cleaners, are obtained industrially, for the most part, from native fats and oils by hydrolysis. While the alkaline saponification already carried out in the past century led directly to the alkali salts (soaps), today only large amounts of water are used for cleavage, which cleaves the fats into glycerol and the free fatty acids. Examples of industrially applied processes are the autoclave cleavage or continuous high pressure cleavage. For example, hexanoic acid (caproic acid), heptanoic acid, can be used in the context of the present invention as an anionic surfactant in acid form (Enanthic acid), octanoic acid (caprylic acid), nonanoic acid (pelargonic acid), decanoic acid (capric acid), undecanoic acid, etc. Preferred in the context of the present invention is the use of fatty acids such as dodecanoic acid (lauric acid), tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid), hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid), Octadecanoic acid (stearic acid), eicosanoic acid (arachic acid), docosanoic acid (behenic acid), tetracosanic acid (lignoceric acid), hexacosanoic acid (cerotic acid), triacotanic acid (melissic acid) and the unsaturated Sezies 9c-hexadecenoic acid (palmitoleic acid), 6c-octadecenoic acid (petroselinic acid), 6t-octadecenoic acid (Petroselaidic acid), 9c-octadecenoic acid (oleic acid), 9t-octadecenoic acid (elaidic acid), 9c, 12c-octadecadienoic acid (linoleic acid), 9t, 12t-octadecadienoic acid (linolaidic acid) and 9c, 12c, 15c-octadecatenic acid (linolenic acid). For cost reasons, it is preferred not to use the pure species, but technical mixtures of the individual acids, as they are accessible from lipolysis. Such mixtures are, for example, coconut oil fatty acid (about 6% by weight C8, 6% by weight C10, 48% by weight C12, 18% by weight C14, 10% by weight C16, 2% by weight C18, 8% by weight C18 ', 1% by weight C18 "), palm kernel oil fatty acid (about 4% by weight C8, 5% by weight C10, 50% by weight C12, 15% by weight C14, 7 Wt% C16, 2 wt% C18, 15 wt% C18 ', 1 wt% C18 "), tallow fatty acid (about 3 wt% C14, 26 wt% C16, 2 wt%) % C16 ', 2 wt.% C17, 17 wt.% C18, 44 wt.% C18', 3 wt.% C18 ", 1 wt.% C18"'), hardened tallow fatty acid (approx 2% by weight C14, 28% by weight C16, 2% by weight C17, 63% by weight C18, 1% by weight C18 '), technical oleic acid (about 1% by weight C12, 3 wt .-% C14, 5 wt .-% C16, 6 wt .-% C16 ', 1 wt .-% C17, 2 wt .-% C18, 70 wt .-% C18', 10 wt .-% C18 ", 0.5% by weight of C18"), technical palmitic / stearic acid (about 1% by weight of C12, 2% by weight of C14, 45% by weight of C16, 2% by weight of C17, 47 Wt% C18, 1 wt% C18 ') and soybean oil fatty acid (about 2 wt% C14, 15 wt% C16, 5 wt% C18, 25 wt% C18', 45 wt%) % C18 ", 7% by weight C18"').

Sulfuric acid semi-esters of longer-chain alcohols are also anionic surfactants and can be used in the context of the present invention. Their alkali metal salts, in particular sodium salts, the so-called fatty alcohol sulfates, are commercially available from fatty alcohols, which are reacted with sulfuric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, sulfamic acid or sulfur trioxide to give the corresponding alkyl sulfuric acids and subsequently neutralized. The fatty alcohols are thereby obtained from the relevant fatty acids or fatty acid mixtures by high-pressure hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl esters. The quantitatively most important industrial process for the production of fatty alkyl sulfuric acids is the sulfation of the alcohols with SO3 / air mixtures in special cascade, falling film or tube bundle reactors.

Another class of anionic surfactants which can be used according to the invention are the alkyl ether sulfuric acids whose salts, the so-called alkyl ether sulfates, are distinguished by a higher water solubility and lower sensitivity to water hardness (solubility of the Ca salts) compared to the alkyl sulfates. Alkyl ether sulfuric acids, like the alkyl sulfuric acids, are synthesized from fatty alcohols which are reacted with ethylene oxide to give the fatty alcohol ethoxylates in question. Instead of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide can also be used. The subsequent sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide in short-term sulfonation reactors yields over 98% of the relevant alkyl ether sulfuric acids.

Alkane sulfonic acids and olefin sulfonic acids can also be used in the context of the present invention as anionic surfactants in acid form. Alkanesulfonic acids may contain the sulfonic acid group terminally bound (primary alkanesulfonic acids) or along the C chain (secondary alkanesulfonic acids), only the secondary alkanesulfonic acids are of commercial importance. These are prepared by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation of linear hydrocarbons. In the sulfochlorination according to Reed n-paraffins are reacted with sulfur dioxide and chlorine under irradiation with UV light to the corresponding sulfochlorides which, upon hydrolysis with alkalis directly the alkanesulfonates, upon reaction with water, the alkanesulfonic provide. Since di- and Polysulfochloride and chlorinated hydrocarbons can occur as by-products of the radical reaction in the sulfochlorination, the reaction is usually carried out only up to degrees of conversion of 30% and then terminated.

Another process for producing alkanesulfonic acids is sulfoxidation, in which n-paraffins are reacted with sulfur dioxide and oxygen under UV light irradiation. This radical reaction produces successive alkylsulfonyl radicals, which react further with oxygen to form the alkylsulfonyl radicals. The reaction with unreacted paraffin provides an alkyl radical and the alkylpersulfonic acid which decomposes into an alkyl peroxysulfonyl radical and a hydroxyl radical. The reaction of the two radicals with unreacted paraffin provides the alkylsulfonic acids or water, which reacts with alkylpersulfonic acid and sulfur dioxide to form sulfuric acid. In order to keep the yield of the two end products alkyl sulfonic acid and sulfuric acid as high as possible and to suppress side reactions, this reaction is usually carried out only up to degrees of conversion of 1% and then terminated.

Olefinsulfonates are produced industrially by reaction of α-olefins with sulfur trioxide. Intermediate zwitterions form, which cyclize to form so-called sultones. Under suitable conditions (alkaline or acid hydrolysis), these sultones react to form Hydroxylalkansulfonsäuren or alkene sulfonic acids, both of which can also be used as anionic surfactant acids.

Alkyl benzene sulfonates as powerful anionic surfactants have been known since the thirties of our century. At that time, alkylbenzenes were prepared by monochlorination of kogasin fractions and subsequent Friedel-Crafts alkylation, which were sulfonated with oleum and neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution. In the early 1950's propylene was tetramerized into branched α-dodecylene to produce alkylbenzenesulfonates and the product was reacted via a Friedel-Crafts reaction using aluminum trichloride or hydrogen fluoride to tetrapropylenebenzene, which was subsequently sulfonated and neutralized. This economic possibility of producing tetrapropylene benzene sulfonates (TPS) led to the breakthrough of this class of surfactants, which subsequently displaced soaps as the major surfactant in detergents and cleaners.

Due to the lack of biodegradability of TPS, there was a need to present new alkylbenzenesulfonates that are characterized by improved environmental performance. These requirements are met by linear alkylbenzenesulfonates, which are today almost exclusively produced alkylbenzenesulfonates and are referred to by the abbreviation ABS or LAS.

Linear alkylbenzenesulfonates are prepared from linear alkylbenzenes, which in turn are accessible from linear olefins. For this purpose, large-scale petroleum fractions are separated with molecular sieves in the n-paraffins of the desired purity and dehydrogenated to the n-olefins, resulting in both α- and i-olefins. The resulting Olefins are then reacted in the presence of acidic catalysts with benzene to the alkylbenzenes, the choice of Friedel-Crafts catalyst has an influence on the isomer distribution of the resulting linear alkylbenzenes: When using aluminum trichloride, the content of the 2-phenyl isomers in the mixture with the 3-, 4-, 5- and other isomers at about 30 wt .-%, however, hydrogen fluoride is used as a catalyst, the content of 2-phenyl isomer can be reduced to about 20 wt .-%. The sulfonation of linear alkylbenzenes finally succeeds today industrially with oleum, sulfuric acid or gaseous sulfur trioxide, the latter having by far the greatest importance. For sulfonation special film or tube bundle reactors are used, which provide as a product 97 wt .-% alkylbenzenesulfonic acid (ABSS).

in der die Summe aus x und y üblicherweise zwischen 5 und 13 liegt. Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt als Aniontensid in Säureform sind C8-16-, vorzugsweise C9-13-Alkylbenzolsulfonsäuren. Es ist im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung weiterhin bevorzugt, C8-16-, vorzugsweise C9-13-Alkybenzolsulfonsäuren einzusetzen, die sich von Alkylbenzolen ableiten, welche einen Tetralingehalt unter 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das Alkylbenzol, aufweisen. Weiterhin bevorzugt ist es, Alkylbenzolsulfonsäurenzu verwenden, deren Alkylbenzole nach dem HF-Verfahren hergestellt wurden, so dass die eingesetzten C8-16-, vorzugsweise C9-13-Alkybenzolsulfonsäuren einen Gehalt an 2-Phenyl-Isomer unter 22 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die Alkylbenzolsulfonsäure, aufweisen.By choosing the neutralizing agent, a wide variety of salts, ie alkylbenzenesulfonates, can be obtained from the ABSS. For reasons of economy, it is preferred in this case to prepare and use the alkali metal salts and, among these, preferably the sodium salts of ABSS. These can be described by the following general formula:

in which the sum of x and y is usually between 5 and 13. C8-16-, preferably C9-13-alkylbenzenesulfonic acids are preferred according to the invention as anionic surfactant in acid form. It is further preferred in the context of the present invention, C8-16-, preferably C9-13-Alkybenzolsulfonsäuren which derive from alkylbenzenes, which have a tetralin content below 5 wt .-%, based on the alkylbenzene. It is furthermore preferred to use alkylbenzenesulphonic acids whose alkylbenzenes have been prepared by the HF process, such that the C8-16-, preferably C9-13-alkylbenzenesulphonic acids used have a content of 2-phenyl-isomer of less than 22% by weight, based on the alkylbenzenesulfonic acid.

The said anionic surfactants may be used alone or in admixture with each other, mixtures of fatty acids and ether sulfates, in particular in weight ratios of 5: 1 to 1: 5, preferably 2: 1 to 1: 2, being particularly preferred. The anionic surfactants described above in their acid form are usually used partially or fully neutralized. Suitable cations for the anionic surfactants are, in addition to the alkali metals (in particular Na and K salts), ammonium and mono-, di- or triethanolammonium ions. Instead of mono-, di- or triethanolamine, the analogous representatives of mono-, di- or trimethanolamine or those of the alkanolamines of higher alcohols can also be quaternized and present as a cation.

in der R1 für einen geradkettigen oder verzweigten, gesättigten oder ein- bzw. mehrfach ungesättigten C6-24-Alkyl- oder -Alkenylrest steht; jede Gruppe R2 bzw. R3 unabhängig voneinander ausgewählt ist aus -CH3; - CH2CH3, -CH2CH2-CH3, CH(CH3)2 und die Indizes w, x, y, z unabhängig voneinander für ganze Zahlen von 1 bis 6 stehen. Diese lassen sich durch bekannte Methoden aus den entsprechenden Alkoholen R1-OH und Ethylen- bzw. Alkylenoxid herstellen. Der Rest R1 in der vorstehenden Formel kann je nach Herkunft des Alkohols variieren. Werden native Quellen genutzt, weist der Rest R1 eine gerade Anzahl von Kohlenstoffatomen auf und ist in der Regel unverzeigt, wobei die linearen Resten aus Alkoholen nativen Ursprungs mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen, z.B. aus Kokos-, Palm-, Talgfett- oder Oleylalkohol, bevorzugt sind. Aus synthetischen Quellen zugängliche Alkohole sind beispielsweise die Guerbetalkohole oder in 2-Stellung methylverzweigte bzw. lineare und methylverzweigte Reste im Gemisch, so wie sie üblicherweise in Oxoalkoholresten vorliegen. Unanbhängig von der Art des zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäß in den Mitteln enthaltenen Niotenside eingesetzten Alkohols sind erfindungsgemäße Mittel bevorzugt, bei denen R1 in der vorstehenden Formel für einen Alkylrest mit 6 bis 24, vorzugsweise 8 bis 20, besonders bevorzugt 9 bis 15 und insbesondere 9 bis 11 Kohlenstoffatomen steht. Als Alkylenoxideinheit, die alternierend zur Ethylenoxideinheit in den Niotensiden enthalten sein kann, kommt neben Propylenoxid insbesondere Butylenoxid in Betracht. Aber auch weitere Alkylenoxide, bei denen R2 bzw. R3 unabhängig voneinander ausgewählt sind aus -CH2CH2-CH3 bzw. CH(CH3)2, sind geeignet.The nonionic surfactants used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and on average 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol radical can be linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or linear and methyl-branched radicals in the mixture can contain, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten. In particular, however, are alcohol ethoxylates with linear radicals of alcohols of natural origin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, for example from coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol preferred. Examples of preferred ethoxylated alcohols include C12-14 alcohols with 3 EO or 4 EO, C9-11 alcohol with 7 EO, C13-15 alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, C12-18 alcohols.

The degrees of ethoxylation given represent statistical means which, for a particular product, may be an integer or a fractional number. Preferred alcohol ethoxylates have a narrow homolog distribution (narrow range ethoxylates, NRE). In addition to these nonionic surfactants, fatty alcohols with more than 12 EO can also be used. Examples include tallow fatty alcohol with 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO. Low-foaming nonionic surfactants may also be used which have alternating ethylene oxide and alkylene oxide units. Among these, in turn, surfactants with EO-AO-EO-AO blocks are preferred, wherein in each case one to ten EO or AO groups are bonded to each other before a block of the other groups follows. Examples of these are surfactants of the general formula

These can be prepared by known methods from the corresponding alcohols R1-OH and ethylene or alkylene oxide. The radical R1 in the above formula may vary depending on the origin of the alcohol. When native sources are used, the radical R1 has an even number of carbon atoms and is usually undisplayed, the linear radicals being selected from alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, for example from coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol , are preferred. Alcohols which are accessible from synthetic sources are, for example, the Guerbet alcohols or methyl-branched or linear and methyl-branched radicals in the 2-position, as they are usually present in oxo alcohol radicals. Irrespective of the type of alcohol used to prepare the nonionic surfactants contained in the compositions according to the invention, agents according to the invention are preferred in which R1 in the above formula is an alkyl radical having 6 to 24, preferably 8 to 20, particularly preferably 9 to 15 and in particular 9 to 11 carbon atoms.

The enzymes used in agents of the invention are either originally from microorganisms, such as the genera Bacillus, Streptomyces, Humicola, or Pseudomonas, and / or are produced by biotechnological methods known per se by suitable microorganisms, such as transgenic expression hosts of the genera Bacillus or filamentous fungi.

An enzyme contained in an agent according to the invention can be protected especially during storage against damage such as inactivation, denaturation or disintegration, for example by physical influences, oxidation or proteolytic cleavage. Compositions according to the invention may contain enzyme stabilizers for this purpose. One group of enzyme stabilizers are reversible protease inhibitors. Frequently, benzamidine hydrochloride, borax, boric acids, boronic acids or their salts or esters are used, including, in particular, derivatives with aromatic groups, for example according to the international patent application WO 95/12655 ortho-substituted, according to International Patent Application WO 92/19707 meta-substituted and according to US Pat. No. 5,972,873 para-substituted phenylboronic acids or their salts or esters. In the international. Patent application WO 98/13460 and European patent application EP 583 534 disclose peptide aldehydes, that is, oligopeptides with reduced C-terminus, for the same purpose. Examples of peptidic protease inhibitors include ovomucoid (according to international patent application WO 93/00418) and leupeptin; An additional option is the formation of fusion proteins from proteases and peptide inhibitors. Further enzyme stabilizers are amino alcohols such as mono-, di-, triethanol- and -propanolamine and mixtures thereof, aliphatic carboxylic acids up to C12, for example from European patent application EP 0 378 261 or international patent application WO 97/05227 known, such as succinic acid, other dicarboxylic acids or salts of said acids. German patent application DE 196 50 537 discloses end-group-capped fatty acid amide alkoxylates for this purpose. Certain organic acids used as builders are capable, as disclosed in international patent application WO 97/18287, of additionally stabilizing a contained enzyme. Lower aliphatic alcohols such as ethanol or propanol, but especially polyols such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or sorbitol are other useful enzyme stabilizers. According to the European patent application EP 0 965 268 also di-glycerol phosphate protects against denaturation by physical influences. Likewise, calcium salts are frequently used, such as, for example, calcium acetate or the calcium formate disclosed for this purpose in European patent EP 0 028 865, and magnesium salts, for example according to European patent application EP 0 378 262. Reducing reducing agents and antioxidants, as disclosed, inter alia, in European Patent Application EP 0 780 466, the stability of enzymes to oxidative degradation. Sulfur-containing reducing agents are known, for example, from European patents EP 0 080 748 and EP 0 080 223. Other examples include sodium sulfite (according to European patent application EP 0 533 239) and reducing sugars (according to European patent application EP 0 656 058).

It is preferred to use combinatons of stabilizers, for example of polyols, boric acid and / or borax according to international patent application WO 96/31589, the combination of boric acid or borate, reducing salts and succinic acid or other dicarboxylic acids according to European patent application EP 0 126 505 or the combination of boric acid or borate with polyols or polyamino compounds and with reducing salts as disclosed in European patent application EP 0 080 223. The effect of peptide-aldehyde stabilizers is increased according to international patent application WO 98/13462 by combination with boric acid and / or boric acid derivatives and polyols and according to international patent application WO 98/13459 by the additional use of divalent cations, such as calcium Ions further strengthened.

In addition, the second partial composition or the further partial compositions may contain all ingredients customary in liquid detergents which do not unduly interact negatively with the abovementioned. These include, for example, builder materials, complexing agents for heavy metals, nonaqueous water-miscible solvents, thickeners, grayness inhibitors, foam regulators, dye transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, optical brighteners, dyes and fragrances. If desired, such further ingredients may also be included in the first part composition, provided that they do not unreasonably affect the storage stability of the peracid component.

Builder materials which may be present in the compositions according to the invention are in particular silicates, aluminum silicates (in particular zeolites), carbonates, salts of organic di- and polycarboxylic acids and mixtures of these substances.

Suitable crystalline, layered sodium silicates have the general formula NaMSixO2x + 1. y H2O, where M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 and preferred values for x are 2, 3 or 4. Such crystalline sheet silicates are described, for example, in European Patent Application EP 0 164 514. Preferred crystalline layered silicates of the formula given are those in which M is sodium and x assumes the values 2 or 3. In particular, both β- and δ-sodium disilicates Na 2 Si 2 O 5 .yH 2 O are preferred, whereby β-sodium disilicate can be obtained, for example, by the process described in international patent application WO 91/08171.

It is also possible to use amorphous sodium silicates with one module. Na 2 O: SiO 2 from 1: 2 to 1: 3.3, preferably from 1: 2 to 1: 2.8 and in particular from 1: 2 to 1: 2.6, which are delay-delayed and have secondary washing properties. The dissolution delay compared with conventional amorphous sodium silicates may have been caused in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding, compaction / densification or by overdrying. In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" also "X-ray amorphous" Understood. This means that the silicates do not yield sharp X-ray reflections typical of crystalline substances in X-ray diffraction experiments, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-rays which have a width of several degrees of diffraction angle. However, it may well even lead to particularly good builder properties if the silicate particles in e-electron diffraction experiments provide blurred or even sharp diffraction maxima. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions of size 10 to a few hundred nm, with values of up to max. 50 nm and in particular up to max. 20 nm are preferred. Such so-called X-ray-amorphous silicates, which likewise have a dissolution delay compared with the conventional water glasses, are described, for example, in German patent application DE 44 00 024. In particular, preferred are compacted / compacted amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and overdried X-ray amorphous silicates.

The optionally used finely crystalline, synthetic and bound water-containing zeolite is preferably zeolite A and / or P. As zeolite P zeolite MAP® (commercial product from Crosfield) is particularly preferred. Also suitable, however, are zeolite X and mixtures of A, X and / or P. Commercially available and preferably usable in the context of the present invention is, for example, a cocrystal of zeolite X and zeolite A (about 80% by weight of zeolite X) ), by CONDEA Augusta SpA. under the brand name VEGOBOND AX® and by the formula nNa2O. (1-n) K2O. Al2O3. (2 - 2.5) SiO 2. (3.5-5.5) H2O can be described. The zeolite can be used as spray-dried powder or else as undried, still moist, stabilized suspension of its preparation Use come. In the event that the zeolite is used as a suspension, it may contain minor additions of nonionic surfactants as stabilizers, for example 1 to 3 wt .-%, based on zeolite, of ethoxylated C12-C18 fatty alcohols having 2 to 5 ethylene oxide groups, C12 C14-fatty alcohols with 4 to 5 ethylene oxide groups or ethoxylated isotridecanols. Suitable zeolites have an average particle size of less than 10 μm (volume distribution, measuring method, for example by means of a Coulter Counter) and preferably contain from 18 to 22% by weight, in particular from 20 to 22% by weight, of bound water.

Of course, a use of the well-known phosphates as builders is possible, unless such use should not be avoided for environmental reasons. Particularly suitable are the sodium salts of orthophosphates, pyrophosphates and in particular tripolyphosphates.

Useful organic builder substances are, for example, the polycarboxylic acids which can be used in the form of their sodium salts, polycarboxylic acids meaning those carboxylic acids which carry more than one acid function. These are, for example, citric acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, sugar acids, aminocarboxylic acids, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), if such use is not objectionable for ecological reasons, and mixtures of these. Preferred salts are the salts of polycarboxylic acids such as citric acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, tartaric acid, sugar acids and mixtures thereof. The acids themselves can also be used. In addition to their builder effect, the acids typically also have the property of an acidifying component and thus also serve to set a lower one and milder pH of detergents or cleaners. In particular, citric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid and any desired mixtures of these can be mentioned here. Further suitable builders are polymeric polycarboxylates, for example the alkali metal salts of polyacrylic acid or polymethacrylic acid, for example those having a relative molecular mass of from 500 to 70,000 g / mol. For the purposes of the present specification, the molecular weights stated for polymeric polycarboxylates are weight-average molecular weights M w of the particular acid form, which can in principle be determined by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC), a UV detector being used. The measurement is carried out against an external polyacrylic acid standard, which provides realistic molecular weight values due to its structural relationship with the investigated polymers. These data deviate significantly from the molecular weight data in which polystyrene sulfonic acids are used as standard, the molecular weights measured against polystyrenesulfonic acids generally being significantly higher. Suitable polymers are, in particular, polyacrylates which preferably have a molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000 g / mol. Because of their superior solubility, the short-chain polyacrylates, which have molar masses of from 2000 to 10000 g / mol, and particularly preferably from 3000 to 5000 g / mol, may again be preferred from this group. Also suitable are copolymeric polycarboxylates, in particular those of acrylic acid with methacrylic acid and of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with maleic acid. Copolymers of acrylic acid with maleic acid which contain 50 to 90% by weight of acrylic acid and 50 to 10% by weight of maleic acid have proven to be particularly suitable. Their relative molecular weight, based on free acids, is generally from 2000 to 70000 g / mol, preferably from 20,000 to 50,000 g / mol and in particular from 30,000 to 40,000 g / mol. To improve water solubility For example, the polymers may also contain allyl sulfonic acids, such as allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid and methallylsulfonic acid known from European Patent EP 0 727 448 B1, as monomer. Also particularly preferred are biodegradable polymers of more than two different monomer units, for example those which according to German Patent Application DE 43 00 772 A1 as monomers salts of acrylic acid and maleic acid and vinyl alcohol or vinyl alcohol derivatives or according to German Patent DE 42 21 381 contain as monomers, salts of acrylic acid and 2-alkylallylsulfonic acid and sugar derivatives. Further preferred copolymers are those which are described in the German patent applications DE-A-43 03 320 and DE-A-44 17 734 and preferably have as monomers acrolein and acrylic acid / acrylic acid salts or acrolein and vinyl acetate. Also to be mentioned as further preferred organic builders polymeric aminodicarboxylic acids, their salts or their precursors. Particular preference is given to polyaspartic acids or their salts and derivatives, of which German Patent Application DE 195 40 086 A1 discloses that, in addition to cobuilder properties, they also have a bleach-stabilizing effect. Further suitable builder substances are polyacetals which can be obtained by reacting dialdehydes with polyol carboxylic acids which have 5 to 7 C atoms and at least 3 hydroxyl groups, for example as described in European patent application EP 0 280 223. Preferred polyacetals are obtained from dialdehydes such as glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, terephthalaldehyde and mixtures thereof and from polyol carboxylic acids such as gluconic acid and / or glucoheptonic acid. Further suitable organic builder substances are dextrins, for example oligomers or polymers of carbohydrates, which can be obtained by partial hydrolysis of starches. The hydrolysis can be carried out by customary, for example acidic or enzyme-catalyzed processes. Preferably, it is hydrolysis products having average molecular weights in the range of 400 to 500,000 g / mol. A polysaccharide with a dextrose equivalent (DE) in the range from 0.5 to 40, in particular from 2 to 30, is preferred, DE being a customary measure of the reducing action of a polysaccharide in comparison to dextrose, which is a DE of 100 owns, is. Usable are both maltodextrins with a DE between 3 and 20 and dry glucose syrups with a DE between 20 and 37 and so-called yellow dextrins and white dextrins with higher molecular weights in the range from 2000 to 30,000 g / mol. A preferred dextrin is described in European Patent Application EP 0 703 292 A1. The oxidized derivatives of such dextrins are their reaction products with oxidizing agents which are capable of oxidizing at least one alcohol function of the saccharide ring to the carboxylic acid function. Such oxidized dextrins and processes for their preparation are described, for example, in European patent applications EP 0 232 202, EP 0 427 349, EP 0 472 042 and EP 0 542 496 and in international patent applications WO 92/18542, WO 93/08251, WO 93/16110 WO 94/28030, WO 95/07303, WO 95/12619 and WO 95/20608. Also suitable is an oxidized oligosaccharide according to the German patent application DE-A-196 00 018. A product oxidized at C6 of the saccharide ring may be particularly advantageous. Oxydisuccinates and other derivatives of disuccinates, preferably ethylenediamine disuccinate, are also other suitable builder materials. In this case, ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinate (EDDS), the synthesis of which is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,158,615, is preferably used in the form of its sodium or magnesium salts.

The optical brighteners are usually used in amounts between 0.05 and 0.3 wt .-%, based on the finished composition.

Grayness inhibitors have the task of keeping the dirt detached from the fiber suspended in the liquor and thus preventing the dirt from being rebuilt. For this purpose, water-soluble colloids are usually of organic nature, for example, glue, gelatin, salts of E-thersulfonsäuren the starch or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch. Also, water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are suitable for this purpose. Furthermore, soluble starch preparations and other than the above-mentioned starch products can be used, e.g. degraded starch, aldehyde levels, etc. Also polyvinylpyrrolidone is useful.
