Description

"Detergent or detergent with color transfer inhibitor"

The invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent containing Tensιd (e) and other conventional ingredients of detergents or cleaners, wherein the detergent or cleaning agent contains a dye transfer inhibitor The invention also relates to the use of the detergent or cleaning agent and a process for its preparation Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for washing and / or cleaning dyed textile bottle structures

When washing dyed textiles, the dye is partly removed from the dyed textiles and transferred from the wash liquor to other fabrics. For example, if white or light textiles are washed together with colored textiles, the white or light wash is soiled / discolored with these dyes The so-called color detergents which contain polymeric dye transfer inhibitors are, for example, as disclosed in DE 2814287, homopolymers and copolymers of vinylpyrrohdone and vinylimidazole

It is an object of the invention to provide a washing or cleaning composition which effectively suppresses dye separation and / or dye transfer to other textiles during washing and / or cleaning of dyed textiles

This object is achieved by a washing or cleaning agent containing Tensιd (e) and other conventional ingredients of detergents or cleaners, wherein the agent contains a Fettalkyldial- kylhydroxyethylammonium salt as a color transfer inhibitor

It has surprisingly been found that fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethylammonium salts have a color transfer inhibiting effect in detergents or cleaners

Furthermore, it is preferred that the fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethyl ammonium salt is a fatty alkyl dimethylhydroxyethyl ammonium salt, preferably a CirCiβ fatty alkyl dimethyl hydroxyethylammonium salt. It is particularly preferred that the fatty alkyl dimethyl hydroxyethyl ammonium salt is Cia-C _M fatty alkyl dimethyl hydroxyethyl ammonium ammonium These fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethylammonium salts are particularly effective color transfer inhibitors.

The amount of Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt is preferably between 0.001 and 10 wt .-%, more preferably between 0.1 and 5 wt .-% and particularly preferably between 0.5 and 2 wt .-%.

With these amounts of fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt, a good color transfer inhibiting effect is observed, and the resulting detergents or cleaners are stable.

It is preferred that the washing or cleaning agent contains a second color transfer inhibitor.

The use of a fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt in combination with at least one second dye transfer inhibitor shows a markedly improved dye transfer-inhibiting action.

In this case, preference is given to using polyvinylpyrrolidones (PVP), polyvinylimidazoles (PVI), copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and vinylimidazole (PVP / PVI), polyvinylpyridine N-oxides, poly-N-carboxymethyl-4-vinylpyridium chlorides and mixtures thereof.

These color transfer inhibitors are known and commercially available (co) polymers which can be incorporated well and stably into detergents or cleaners.

It is preferred that the washing or cleaning agent contains anionic surfactants in amounts less than 5 wt .-%.

High levels of anionic surfactants can reduce the effectiveness of Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethyl- ammonium salts in detergents or cleaners. It is therefore preferred to use only small amounts (less than 5% by weight) of anionic surfactants in the washing or cleaning agent. Particularly preferably, the washing or cleaning agent contains no anionic surfactants. It may be particularly preferred that the washing or cleaning agent contains only nonionic surfactants.

By using an exclusively non-ionic surfactant system, a detergent or cleaning agent is obtained which is particularly mild to textiles treated therewith and / or to skin which comes into contact with the agent itself or with laundry washed therewith. The latter is especially advantageous in textiles (e.g., underwear, lingerie) that are in direct contact with the skin. Often such textiles are also made of sensitive materials and / or dyed with intense dyes. Since these textiles are usually also very expensive, the use of a mild washing or cleaning agent with effective color transfer inhibition is particularly advantageous.

The invention also relates to the use of the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention for washing and / or cleaning dyed textile fabrics.

It has been found that the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention effectively suppresses the dye removal and / or the dye transfer to other textile fabrics during the washing and / or cleaning of dyed textile fabrics.

Furthermore, the invention also relates to the use of a Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium- salt as a dye transfer inhibitor in a washing or cleaning agent.

It has been found that Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium salts can be used as effective color transfer inhibitors in detergents and cleaning agents and when using the detergent or dye removal and / or the dye transfer to other textiles during washing and / or cleaning of colored Textiles effectively suppressed.

The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a washing or cleaning agent containing surfactant (s), other conventional ingredients of detergents or cleaning agents and a dye transfer inhibitor, wherein the washing or cleaning agent is a Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt added as a color transfer inhibitor. In a further aspect, the invention relates to the use of a fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethyl ammonium salt as a color transfer inhibitor in the washing and / or cleaning of dyed textiles.

Yet another aspect of the invention relates to a process for washing and / or cleaning dyed fabrics, wherein the dye transfer of dissolved dyes to other fabrics is reduced or prevented by addition of a fatty alkyl dialkyl hydroxyethyl ammonium salt.

A washing or cleaning agent according to the invention contains a fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt as color transfer inhibitor.

The fatty alkyl salt is preferably a Fettalkyldimethylhydroxyethylammonium salt and most preferably a C ₁₂ -C ₁₈ -Fettalkyldimethylhydroxyethylammonium- Saiz, wherein a C ₂ -Ci4-Fettalkyldimethylhydroxyethylammonium salt highly preferred. As salts, the salts may contain halide, methosulfate, methophosphate or phosphate ions as well as mixtures of these. Preferably, the counterion is chloride.

An example of a commercially available fatty alkyldimethylhydroxyethylammonium salt is Praepagen® HY (ex Clariant), a C 1 -C 6 -fatty alkyldimethylhydroxyethylammonium chloride.

The amount of fatty alkyl dialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt in the washing or cleaning agent may be between 0.001 and 10% by weight, based on the total agent. Preferably, the amount of Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt is between 0.1 and 5 wt .-% and particularly preferably the amount of Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt between 0.5 and 2 wt .-%.

The washing or cleaning agent contains, in addition to the Fettalkyldialkylhydroxyethylammonium salt surfactant (s), wherein anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic and / or amphoteric surfactants can be used. Preference is given to mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants. The total surfactant content of the liquid washing or cleaning agent is preferably below 40% by weight and more preferably below 35% by weight, based on the total liquid detergent. The nonionic surfactants used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and an average of 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol residue 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, alcohol ethoxylates with linear radicals of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 C atoms, for example coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol are preferred. The preferred ethoxylated alcohols, for example C ₁₂ .i4- alcohols containing 3 EO, 7 EO or 4 EO, C include _9-11 -alcohol with 7 EO, C _{_13-15} alcohols containing 3 EO, 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, C ₁₂ -iβ-alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO or 7 EO and mixtures of these, such as mixtures of C ₁₂ -i ₄ -alcohol with 3 EO and Ci _2- i ₈ -alcohol with 7 EO. 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 rank ethoxylates, NRE). In addition to these nonionic surfactants, fatty alcohols with more than 12 EO can also be used. Examples of these are tallow fatty alcohol with 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO. Nonionic surfactants containing EO and PO groups together in the molecule can also be used according to the invention. Here, block copolymers with EO-PO block units or PO-EO block units can be used, but also EO-PO-EO copolymers or PO-EO-PO copolymers. Of course, it is also possible to use mixed alkoxylated nonionic surfactants in which EO and PO units are not distributed in blocks, but randomly. Such products are available by the simultaneous action of ethylene and propylene oxide on fatty alcohols.

In addition, as further nonionic surfactants and alkyl glycosides of the general formula RO (G) _x can be used in which R is a primary straight-chain or methyl-branched, especially in the 2-position methyl-branched aliphatic radical having 8 to 22, preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms and G is the symbol which represents a glycose unit having 5 or 6 C atoms, preferably glucose. The degree of oligomerization x, which indicates the distribution of monoglycosides and oligoglycosides, is any number between 1 and 10; preferably x is 1, 2 to 1, 4. Alkyl glycosides are known, mild surfactants.

Another class of preferred nonionic surfactants used either as the sole nonionic surfactant or in combination with other nonionic surfactants are alkoxylated, preferably ethoxylated or ethoxylated and propoxylated fatty acids. alkyl esters, preferably having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, in particular fatty acid methyl ester.

The polyhydroxy fatty acid amides are known substances which can usually be obtained by reductive amination of a reducing sugar with ammonia, an alkylamine or an alkanolamine and subsequent acylation with a fatty acid, a fatty acid alkyl ester or a fatty acid chloride.

The group of polyhydroxy fatty acid amides also includes compounds of the formula (II)

R ¹ -OR ²

[Z] is preferably obtained by reductive amination of a sugar, for example glucose, fraktose, maltose, lactose, galactose, mannose or xylose. The N-alkoxy or N-aryloxy Substituted compounds can then be converted into the desired polyhydroxy fatty acid amides by reaction with fatty acid methyl esters in the presence of an alkoxide as catalyst

The content of nonionic surfactants in the washing or cleaning agent is preferably 5 to 30% by weight, preferably 7 to 20% by weight and in particular 9 to 15% by weight, in each case based on the washing or cleaning agent

In addition to the nonionic surfactants, the washing or cleaning composition can also contain anionic surfactants Suitable anionic surfactants are used for example, those of the sulfonate and sulfate surfactants of the sulfonate type are preferably come Cg.i ₃ -Alkylben- sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, ie mixtures of Alken- and Hydroxyalkansulfonaten and disulfonates, as obtained for example from C ₁₂ iβ monoolefins with terminal or internal double bond by sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of the sulfonation, into consideration are also suitable alkanesulfonates, which from C ₁₂ -i ₈ alkanes are obtained for example by Sulfochlonerung or sulfoxidation and subsequent hydrolysis or neutralization Likewise, the esters of α-Sulfofettsau- ren (ester sulfonates), for example, the α-sulfonιerten Methylester of hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids suitable

Further suitable anionic surfactants are sulfonated fatty acid glycerol esters. Fatty acid glyceryl esters are understood as meaning the mono-, di- and tri-esters and mixtures thereof, as in the preparation by esterification of a monoglycene with 1 to 3 mol fatty acid or in the transesterification of triglycerides with 0.3 to 2 moles of glycerol are obtained. Preferred sulfated fatty acid glyceryl esters are the sulfonation products of saturated fatty acids having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, for example caproic acid, caprylic acid, capnic acid, mynstic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid or behenic acid

Alk (en) yl sulfates are the alkali and especially the sodium salts of the Schwefelsäurehalbester Ci ₂ -C ₁₈ fatty alcohols, for example coconut fatty alcohol, tallow fatty alcohol, lauryl, styl- Myπ-, cetyl or stearyl alcohol, or Cio-C ₂ o Oxo alcohols and those half-esters of secondary alcohols of these chain lengths are preferred. Further preferred are alk (en) ylsulfates of said chain length, which contain a synthetic, petrochemical-based straight-chain alkyl radical which has an analogous degradation behavior as the adequate compounds the basis of oleochemical raw materials. From a washing-technical point of view, the C ₁₂ -C ₁₆ -alkyl sulfates and C ₁₂ -C ₁₅ -alkyl sulfates and also C ₁₄ -C ₁₅ -alkyl sulfates are preferred. 2,3-alkyl sulfates, which can be obtained as commercial products from Shell Oil Company under the name DAN ^®, are suitable anionic surfactants.

Also, the sulfuric acid monoesters of straight-chain or branched C ₇ ethoxylated with 1 to 6 moles of ethylene oxide. ₂ i-alcohols, such as 2-methyl-branched C _9-11 alcohols having on average 3.5 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) or C _12-1S -FeUaIkOhOIe with 1 to 4 EO, are suitable. Due to their high foaming behavior, they are only used in detergents in relatively small amounts, for example in amounts of from 1 to 5% by weight.

Further suitable anionic surfactants are also the salts of alkylsulfosuccinic acid, which are also referred to as sulfosuccinates or as sulfosuccinic esters and which are monoesters and / or diesters of sulfosuccinic acid with alcohols, preferably fatty alcohols and in particular ethoxylated fatty alcohols. Contain preferred sulfosuccinates or mixtures of these. Particularly preferred sulfosuccinates contain a fatty alcohol radical which is derived from ethoxylated fatty alcohols, which in themselves constitute nonionic surfactants (description see below). Sulfosuccinates, whose fatty alcohol residues are derived from ethoxylated fatty alcohols with a narrow homolog distribution, are again particularly preferred. Likewise, it is also possible to use alk (en) ylsuccinic acid having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alk (en) yl chain or salts thereof.

Particularly preferred anionic surfactants are soaps. Suitable are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid soaps, such as the salts of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, (hydrogenated) erucic acid and behenic acid and, in particular, soap mixtures derived from natural fatty acids, for example coconut, palm kernel, olive oil or tallow fatty acids.

The anionic surfactants, including the soaps, may be in the form of their sodium, potassium or ammonium salts and as soluble salts of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine. The anionic surfactants are preferably present in the form of their sodium or potassium salts, in particular in the form of the sodium salts.

The content of anionic surfactants in a washing or cleaning agent may be from 0.1 to 30% by weight, based on the total washing or cleaning agent. However, it is preferred that the amount of anionic surfactants is relatively low to minimize interactions of the anionic surfactants with the dye transfer inhibitor which reduce its effect. It is therefore preferred that the washing or cleaning agent contains anionic surfactants in amounts of up to 5 wt .-%. Most preferably, the washing or cleaning agent contains no anionic surfactants.

In the present invention, among other things, for reasons of stability and / or aesthetics, it may be extremely preferable for the washing or cleaning agent to contain exclusively nonionic surfactants. The same applies to mild washing or cleaning agents.

In addition to the dye transfer inhibitor and the surfactant (s), the washing or cleaning agent may contain further ingredients which further improve the performance and / or aesthetic properties of the detergent or cleaning agent. In the context of the present invention, the washing or cleaning agent preferably additionally contains one or more substances from the group of builders, enzymes, electrolytes, nonaqueous solvents, pH adjusters, perfumes, perfume carriers, fluorescers, dyes, hydrotopes, foam inhibitors, silicone oils, antiredeposition agents, Graying inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, anti-wrinkling agents, further color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, preservatives, corrosion inhibitors, antistatic agents, bittering agents, ironing aids, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents, neutral filler salts, softening components and UV absorbers.

In particular, both β- and δ-Natnumdisilikate Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ • yH ₂ O are preferred

It is also possible to use amorphous sodium silicates having a modulus Na ₂ O SiO ₂ of 1 2 to 1 3,3, preferably of 1 2 to 1 2,8 and in particular of 1 2 to 1 2,6, which are loosely delayed and have secondary washing properties Compared to conventional amorphous Natπumsilikaten can be caused in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding, compaction / compaction or by overdrying In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" is also "X-ray amorphous" understood This means that the silicates in X-ray diffraction ex- pressions do not produce sharp X-ray reflections as typical for crystalline substances, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-radiation, which have a width of several degrees of diffraction angle. However, very good builder properties may even result the silicate particles in Elektronenbeugun This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions of size 10 to several hundred nm, with values up to 50 nm and more preferably up to 20 nm are preferred. Particularly preferred are compacted / compacted amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and overdried X-ray amorphous silicates.

The finely crystalline, synthetic and bound water-containing zeolite used is preferably zeolite A and / or P. As zeolite P, zeolite MAP® (commercial product from Crosfield) is particularly preferred. However, zeolite X and mixtures of A, X and / or P are also suitable. 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) ), which is sold by SASOL under the brand name VEGOBOND AX ^® and by the formula

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.

Organic builders which may be present in the washing or cleaning agent 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. For example, these are citric acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, apple Acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, sugars, Ammocarbonsauren, Nitπlotπessig- acid (NTA) and their derivatives 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 action, the acids also typically have the property of an acidifying component and thus also serve to establish a lower and milder pH of detergents or cleaners. Citric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid are particularly suitable Other usable acidifying agents are known pH regulators, such as sodium bicarbonate and sodium bisulfate

Further suitable polymeric substances are, 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 this document, the molecular weights given for polymeric polycarboxylates are weight-average molar masses M _{w of} the particular acid form which were basically determined by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a UV detector. The measurement was carried out against an external polyacrylic acid This data deviates significantly from the molecular weight data in which polystyrenesulfonic acids are used as standard. The molar masses measured against polystyrenesulfonic acids are generally much higher than those specified in this document molecular weights

Suitable polymers are, in particular, polyacrylates, which preferably have a molecular mass of from 2 000 to 20 000 g / mol. Because of their superior solubility, this group may in turn comprise the short-chain polyacrylates, the molar masses of from 2 000 to 10 000 g / mol, and particularly preferably 3 000 to 5,000 g / mol, preferably

Their relative molecular weight, based on free acids, is generally from 2,000 to 70,000 g / mol, preferably from 20,000 to 50,000 g / mol and in particular from 30,000 to 40,000 g / mol. The (co) polymeric polycarboxylates can be used either as an aqueous solution or, preferably, as a powder.

To improve the solubility in water, the polymers may also contain allylsulfonic acids, such as allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid and methallylsulfonic acid, as monomer.

Also particularly preferred are biodegradable polymers of more than two different monomer units, for example those containing as monomers salts of acrylic acid and maleic acid and vinyl alcohol or vinyl alcohol derivatives or as monomers salts of acrylic acid and 2-alkylallylsulfonic acid and sugar derivatives.

Further preferred copolymers are those which have as monomers preferably acrolein and acrylic acid / acrylic acid salts or acrolein and vinyl acetate.

Further suitable builders 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. 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.

Other suitable organic builders 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 acid or enzyme catalyzed processes. Preferably, it is hydrolysis products having average molecular weights in the range of 400 to 500 000 g / mol. In this case, 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 is. Both maltodextrins with a DE of between 3 and 20 and dry glucose syrups with a DE of between 20 and 37 and also so-called yellow dextrins and white dextrins with relatively high molecular weights in the range from 2 000 to 30 000 g / mol are useful

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. Also suitable is an oxidized oligosaccharide. A product oxidized to C _{6 of} the saccharide ring may be particularly advantageous.

Oxydisuccinates and other derivatives of disuccinates, preferably ethylenediamine disuccinate, are also other suitable builders. In this case, ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinate (EDDS) is used, preferably in the form of its sodium or magnesium salts. Also preferred in this context are glycerol disuccinates and glycerol trisuccinates.

Other useful organic builders are, for example, acetylated hydroxycarboxylic acids or their salts, which may optionally also be present in lactone form and which contain at least 4 carbon atoms and at least one hydroxyl group and a maximum of two acid groups.
