Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of a rinse aid in the automated cleaning of plastic parts and a method for automated cleaning of plastic parts.
  • the mechanical cleaning of plastic parts is known from public prior use. Examples of articles which are either entirely or partly made of plastic and are usually cleaned by machine are found, inter alia, in the food sector (eg crockery), in the field of medical devices (eg surgical instruments) and in the laboratory sector (eg. experimental animal cages).
  • the stress of the plastic parts in the context of machine cleaning can lead to the formation of stress cracks in the plastic.
  • the stress cracking has a significantly reduced lifetime of the plastic parts result.
  • the invention is based on the object to improve the mechanical cleaning of plastic parts.
  • the invention is based on the surprising finding that a surfactant-free rinse aid containing at least one polymer which has cationic dissociable groups or a combination of cationic and anionic dissociable groups, on the one hand achieves a good drying action on plastic parts and on the other hand avoids or at least reduces stress cracking on these plastic parts.
  • plastic parts may be exposed in the context of machine cleaning, for example, in a hot-drying and / or in the course of any subsequent thermal sterilization.
  • machine cleaning refers to the automatic cleaning of objects, preferably in a dishwasher, wherein in the course of cleaning no human intervention is required.
  • dishwasher includes any known in the prior art dishwasher, which is suitable for cleaning plastic parts, in particular commercial or household dishwashers, and special dishwashers.
  • Machine cleaning of articles usually involves at least one cleaning step and one final rinse step.
  • cleaning solution is applied to the objects to release the adhering dirt.
  • the rinsing step serves to rinse off residues of the cleaning agent remaining from the objects, if necessary, and to improve the final drying process. Therefore, the final rinse step is generally the final step in the machine cleaning process in which the objects are rinsed with liquid.
  • rinse aid designates a composition which is used in the automatic cleaning of objects in dishwashers in order to improve the final drying process.
  • the rinse aid used according to the invention is surfactant-free, ie it contains no surfactants.
  • Surfactants are compounds which lower the interfacial tension, i. amphiphilic compounds having at least one hydrophobic and one hydrophilic moiety.
  • the term surfactants denotes the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants and block copolymers (in particular of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units).
  • surfactants denotes the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants and block copolymers (in particular of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units).
  • the rinse aid used according to the invention contains at least one polymer which has cationic dissociable groups or a combination of cationic and anionic dissociable groups.
  • polymers are called macromolecular compounds constructed from low molecular weight monomer units. For example, reference is made Römpp Chemielexikon, 10th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag, keyword “polymers ".
  • Ionically dissociable groups dissociate in sufficiently polar solvents (eg, water) to ions and counterions. Accordingly, the at least one polymer in the ready-to-use dilute rinse aid in aqueous solution is at least partially in ionic form. In the context of the invention it is sufficient if the at least one polymer has cationic dissociable groups. Preferably, however, the at least one polymer is an ampholytic polymer, i. it has both cationic and anionic dissociable groups.

It is preferred that the copolymer comprise as monomer units at least one quaternary ammonium compound and / or N-isopropylacrylamide and / or 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid, preferably the quaternary Ammonium compound is methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride.
  • Cationic and ampholytic polymers are known in the art.
