Definitions

• the invention relates to liquid detergents and cleaners for textiles containing anionic surfactants in combination with cationic surfactants.
• liquid detergents are today a very important product group among laundry detergents for textiles.
• Liquid detergents contain surfactants as their main constituent.
• surfactants are used simultaneously in modern detergents.
• the combination of anionic and nonionic surfactants has proven useful here.
• Conventional anionic surfactants used are linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (LAS), fatty alcohol sulfates (FAS), secondary alkanesulfonates (SAS), olefin sulfonates (OS) and, in some cases, fatty alcohol ether sulfates (FAES).
• LAS linear alkylbenzenesulfonates
• FAS fatty alcohol sulfates
• SAS secondary alkanesulfonates
• OS olefin sulfonates
• FAES fatty alcohol ether sulfates
• Nonionic surfactants used are ethoxylates of long-chain, synthetic alcohols, for example the oxo alcohols, or of native fatty alcohols.
• As further essential ingredients builders such as polycarboxylates and solubilizers such as ethanol, glycerol or propanediol are used.
• additive ingredients which are generally included in low use concentrations and which may be grouped together under the term washing aids and which comprise such different active ingredient groups as foam regulators, grayness inhibitors, soil release polymers, enzymes, optical brighteners, dye transfer inhibitors and dye fixing agents are generally included.
• fabric softeners or laundry conditioners are used after washing. These give the laundry a pleasant soft feel, reduce wrinkles and reduce the wear of the laundry, as they reduce the fiber-fiber friction.
• These products contain cationic surfactants, essentially quaternary ammonium salts such as so-called ester quats.
• liquid detergents containing anionic surfactants could not be combined with cationic surfactants in order to impart a laundry-conditioning effect to the detergent and thus render the use of a softener superfluous.
• the reason for this is the lack of compatibility of the anionic surfactants with the cationic surfactants, which leads to a flocculation, precipitation or phase separation of the components.
• the purpose of the present invention is to provide liquid detergent and cleaner formulations for textiles which contain at least one cationic surfactant in combination with several anionic surfactants and which, in spite of the potential incompatibility of the components, are physically and chemically stable and have both a good cleaning action and a softening and conditioning effect.
