Description

 "Textile treatment product with a milk product"

The invention relates to a textile treatment agent containing conventional ingredients of textile treatment agents. The invention also relates to the use of the textile treatment agent and a process for its preparation.

Anionic surfactants are important components of detergents and cleaners because they remove a variety of textile contaminants. Anionic surfactants are particularly effective for fatty soils. However, on contact with skin, they may also interact with it and dry it out, for example, by removing the skin fat.

Milder anionic surfactants, as used for example in personal cleansers, do not give adequate performance in laundry detergents and cleaners for textiles, especially with regard to fatty soiling.

But also the pure wearing of textiles leads by friction or by a water transfer from the skin to the textile to undesirable interactions between the textile and the skin, whereby the skin is strained and / or damaged.

From WO 03/064583 A1 therefore solid detergents are known which contain plant extracts which are known for their skin friendliness. From US Pat. No. 6,494,920, for example, detergent compositions are known which contain esterquat and aloe.

Particularly in the case of hydrophobic, skin-friendly compounds, for example vegetable oils, the problem arises that they are emulsified by the surface-active compounds present in the washing or rinsing liquor and then removed with the washing or rinsing liquor. Also, the Aufziehverhalten on textiles is often weak in hydrophobic, skin-friendly compounds.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fabric treatment composition which makes skin treated therewith skin friendly. This object is achieved by a textile treatment agent containing conventional ingredients of textile treatment agents and a milk product

Milk products such as milk or yoghurt have long been known in cosmetics as the skin-care ingredients of skin care products. Pure yoghurt develops a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect on sunburn when applied to burnt areas. Milk fat balances the natural pH value of the skin and relaxes stressed skin Lactose binds Water and thus moisture, while milk proteins increase the elasticity of the skin and smooth it

It has now surprisingly been found that dairy products can also be incorporated into textile treatment agents, so that they can attract on contact with textiles on these and thus make such treated textiles skin friendly

It is preferred that the milk product is selected from the group consisting of sour milk, yoghurt, kefir, buttermilk, cream, condensed milk, dried milk, whey, milk sugar, milk protein and milk mix products, pure milk, quark, milk proteins , hydrolyzed milk proteins, milk protein derivatives, hydrolyzed milk protein derivatives and mixtures thereof

It is very particularly preferred that the milk product is a dried, especially preferably spray-dried, milk product

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the textile treatment agent is selected from the group consisting of detergents, softeners, softening detergents ("2ιn1") and detergents

In the case that the textile treatment agent is a detergent, it is preferred that it contains at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwittenonic and amphoteric surfactants

In the case where the fabric treatment agent is a softener, it is preferred that it contains a softening component Softening wipers are preferred as textile treatment agents since they only come into contact with the textiles in the last step of a conventional textile washing process, the bobbin winder, and can thus apply as much of the milk product to the textile as possible, without the risk of it being washed out again during subsequent steps becomes

It is most preferred that the softening component is an alkylated quaternary ammonium compound wherein at least one alkyl chain is interrupted by an ester or amido group

In the case that the textile treatment agent is a softening detergent ("2ιn1"), it is preferred that it contains a plasticizing component and at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of aniomschen, nonionic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants

In addition, the invention relates to the use of the textile treatment agent according to the invention for the treatment of flat textile structures which confer an advantage on contact with the skin

In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" is also understood to mean "X-ray amorphous." This means that the silicates do not yield sharp X-ray reflections in X-ray diffraction phenomena, which are typical for crystalline substances, but at most one or more maxima However, it may well even lead to particularly good buil- ding properties when the silicate particles produce fuzzy or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction ex- pressions. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions the sizes have from 10 to a few hundred nm, with values of up to a maximum of 50 nm and in particular up to a maximum of 20 nm being preferred.
