Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-soluble packaging comprising a water-soluble coating and a liquid washing or cleaning agent with anionic and nonionic surfactants.
  • detergents or cleaners usually contain combinations of several surfactants in order to meet the requirements for the agent with regard to washing and cleaning performance.
  • the surfactants are usually both those which are obtained from renewable raw materials, such as, for example, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, fatty alcohol sulfates, fatty alcohol ether sulfates or alkylpolyglycosides, and also petrochemically obtained surfactants, in particular alkylbenzenesulfonates.
  • a detergent or cleaning agent that is as climate neutral as possible, which can be accomplished through the use of surfactants derived from renewable resources.
  • Detergents or cleaners are now available to the consumer in a variety of forms.
  • this offer includes, for example, liquids, gels or sachets (tablets or filled pouches).
  • portion packs containing liquid detergents or cleaning agents are becoming increasingly popular, fulfilling, on the one hand, the consumer's desire for simplified dosing and, on the other hand, more and more consumers prefering liquid detergents or cleaners.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine wasserlösliche Verpackung, umfassend eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung und ein flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mit anionischen und nichtionischen Tensiden.The invention relates to a water-soluble packaging comprising a water-soluble coating and a liquid washing or cleaning agent with anionic and nonionic surfactants.

Handelsübliche Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel enthalten meist Kombinationen aus mehreren Tensiden, um die Anforderungen an das Mittel bezüglich Wasch- und Reinigungsleistung zu erfüllen. Bei den Tensiden handelt es sich dabei üblicherweise sowohl um solche, die aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnen werden, wie beispielsweise ethoxylierte Fettalkohole, Fettalkoholsulfate, Fettalkoholethersulfate oder Alkylpolyglycoside, als auch um petrochemisch gewonnene Tenside, wie insbesondere Alkylbenzolsulfonate. Im Zuge des steigenden Umweltbewusstseins bei Industrie und Verbrauchern ist es jedoch wünschenswert, ein Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel zu formulieren, welches so klimaneutral wie möglich ist, was durch den Einsatz von aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnenen Tensiden bewirkt werden kann.Commercially available detergents or cleaners usually contain combinations of several surfactants in order to meet the requirements for the agent with regard to washing and cleaning performance. The surfactants are usually both those which are obtained from renewable raw materials, such as, for example, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, fatty alcohol sulfates, fatty alcohol ether sulfates or alkylpolyglycosides, and also petrochemically obtained surfactants, in particular alkylbenzenesulfonates. However, in the context of increasing environmental awareness among industry and consumers, it is desirable to formulate a detergent or cleaning agent that is as climate neutral as possible, which can be accomplished through the use of surfactants derived from renewable resources.

Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel sind heute für den Verbraucher in vielfältigen Angebotsformen erhältlich. Neben Pulvern und Granulaten umfasst dieses Angebot beispielsweise auch Flüssigkeiten, Gele oder Portionspackungen (Tabletten oder gefüllte Beutel).Detergents or cleaners are now available to the consumer in a variety of forms. In addition to powders and granules, this offer includes, for example, liquids, gels or sachets (tablets or filled pouches).

Insbesondere Portionspackungen mit flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln werden immer beliebter, erfüllen sie einerseits den Wunsch des Verbrauchers nach vereinfachter Dosierung und andererseits bevorzugen immer mehr Verbraucher flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.In particular, portion packs containing liquid detergents or cleaning agents are becoming increasingly popular, fulfilling, on the one hand, the consumer's desire for simplified dosing and, on the other hand, more and more consumers prefering liquid detergents or cleaners.

Bei der Formulierung von flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln zur Verpackung in wasserlöslichen Beuteln muss insbesondere darauf geachtet werden, dass die Inhaltsstoffe des Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittels die wasserlösliche Umhüllung des Beutels nicht schon vor ihrem Einsatz auf- oder anlösen und so zu unerwünschten Leckagen führen.When formulating liquid detergents or cleaners for packaging in water-soluble bags, particular care must be taken to ensure that the ingredients of the washing or cleaning agent do not dissolve or dissolve the water-soluble envelope of the bag before they are used and thus lead to undesirable leaks.

Ein Inhaltsstoff, der die strukturelle Integrität der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung eines Beutels zerstören kann, ist Wasser. Aus diesem Grund enthalten flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel zur Verpackung in wasserlöslichen Beuteln einen möglichst geringen Gehalt an Wasser EP0656416 A1 offenbart Tensidkonzentrate als Basistenside für konzentrierte Flüssigformulierungen.An ingredient that can destroy the structural integrity of the water-soluble envelope of a bag is water. For this reason, liquid detergents or cleaners for packaging in water-soluble bags contain the lowest possible content of water EP0656416 A1 discloses surfactant concentrates as base surfactants for concentrated liquid formulations.

WO2013/135512 A1 offenbart eine bestäubte wasserlösliche Verpackung, die ein Mittel und eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung enthält. WO2013 / 135512 A1 discloses a dusted water-soluble package containing an agent and a water-soluble wrapper.

Aus der WO 2002/057398 A1 ist beispielsweise ein wasserlöslicher Behälter, enthaltend eine flüssige Detergenszusammensetzung, umfassend: a) eine mit einem Alkanolamin neutralisierte Alkylbenzolsulfonsäure, b) ein organisches Lösungsmittel und c) weniger als 3 Gew.-% Wasser, bekannt.From the WO 2002/057398 A1 is, for example, a water-soluble container containing a liquid detergent composition comprising: a) an alkylbenzenesulfonic acid neutralized with an alkanolamine, b) an organic solvent and c) less than 3% by weight of water.

Alkylbenzolsulfonate werden nicht nur wegen ihrer guten Wasch- und Reinigungsleistung bevorzugt in wasserarmen flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln eingesetzt, sondern auch weil sie hochkonzentriert, dass heißt in wasserarmer Form, eingesetzt werden können. Dies bedeutet, dass über den Einsatz von Alkylbenzolsulfonaten als anionisches Tensid wenig Wasser in die flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln gelangt. Andere anionische Tenside, wie beispielsweise aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnene Fettalkoholethersulfate, enthalten bereits im Rohstoff hohe Mengen (> 25 %) Wasser.Alkylbenzenesulfonates are preferably used not only because of their good washing and cleaning performance in low-water liquid detergents or cleaners, but also because they can be highly concentrated, that is in low-water form, can be used. This means that the use of alkylbenzenesulfonates as anionic surfactant little water enters the liquid detergents or cleaning agents. Other anionic surfactants, such as fatty alcohol ether sulfates obtained from renewable raw materials, already contain large amounts (> 25%) of water in the raw material.

Es besteht somit Bedarf, in wasserlöslichen Umhüllungen verpackte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln bereitzustellen, die ausschließlich Tenside enthalten, die aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnenen werden.There is thus a need to provide detergents or cleaners packaged in water-soluble wraps, which contain only surfactants which are obtained from renewable raw materials.

Entsprechend war es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, stabile, in wasserlöslichen Umhüllungen verpackte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel bereitzustellen, die ausschließlich Tenside enthalten, die aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnenen werden.Accordingly, it has been an object of the present invention to provide stable detergents or cleaners packaged in water-soluble coatings which contain only surfactants derived from renewable resources.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine wasserlösliche Verpackung, die ein flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel und eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung enthält, wobei das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel

  1. a) nichtionisches Tensid ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus alkoxylierten Fettalkoholen, Alkylpolyglycosiden, ethoxylierten Methylestern von natürlichen Fettsäuren und Mischungen daraus,
  2. b) anionisches Tensid ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Fettalkoholsulfaten, Fettalkoholethersulfaten, Fettsäureseifen, sulfonierten Estoliden und Mischungen daraus,
  3. c) organisches Lösungsmittel, welches eine Mischung aus 1,2-Propandiol und Ethanol umfasst,
  4. d) bis zu 15 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, Wasser,
  5. e) bis zu 50 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, 1,2-Propandiol,
  6. f) bis zu 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, Ethanol enthält, und g) frei von Isopropanol, vorzugsweise frei von weiteren organischen Lösungsmittel, ist,
wobei die Gesamtmenge an anionischem Tensid bis zu 35 Gew.-% bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel beträgt.This object is achieved by a water-soluble packaging containing a liquid washing or cleaning agent and a water-soluble coating, wherein the liquid detergent or cleaning agent
  1. a) nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated fatty alcohols, alkyl polyglycosides, ethoxylated methyl esters of natural fatty acids and mixtures thereof,
  2. b) anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol sulfates, fatty alcohol ether sulfates, fatty acid soaps, sulfonated estolides and mixtures thereof,
  3. c) organic solvent comprising a mixture of 1,2-propanediol and ethanol,
  4. d) up to 15% by weight, based on the total washing or cleaning agent, of water,
  5. e) up to 50% by weight, based on the total washing or cleaning agent, 1,2-propanediol,
  6. f) up to 5% by weight, based on the total washing or cleaning agent, of ethanol, and g) free of isopropanol, preferably free of further organic solvents,
wherein the total amount of anionic surfactant up to 35 wt .-% based on the total washing or cleaning agent.

Es hat sich überraschenderweise gezeigt, dass mit Hilfe des ausgewählten Tensidsystems und des ausgewählten Lösungsmittelsystems eine stabile wasserlösliche Verpackung mit einem flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, umfassend ausschließlich aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnene Tenside, erhalten werden kann. Andere Lösungsmittelsysteme führen zu Sedimentationen und/oder Synärese.It has surprisingly been found that with the aid of the selected surfactant system and the selected solvent system, a stable water-soluble packaging can be obtained with a liquid detergent or cleaning agent comprising exclusively surfactants obtained from renewable raw materials. Other solvent systems lead to sedimentation and / or syneresis.

Bevorzugt beträgt die Ionenstärke Ic des Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittels kleiner 250 mmol/l. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine solche lonenstärke verhindert, dass Inhaltsstoffe, insbesondere Tenside, des flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittels ausgesalzt werden und sich an der inneren Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung ablagern.The ionic strength I c of the washing or cleaning agent is preferably less than 250 mmol / l. It has been found that such an ionic strength prevents ingredients, in particular surfactants, of the liquid detergent or cleaning agent from being salted out and depositing on the inner surface of the water-soluble coating.

Das Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel weist eine besonders hohe Reinigungsleistung und gutes Schaumverhalten auf, wenn das anionische Tensid eine Mischung aus Fettalkoholethersulfat und Fettsäureseife ist.The washing or cleaning agent has a particularly high cleaning performance and good foaming behavior, when the anionic surfactant is a mixture of fatty alcohol ether sulfate and fatty acid soap.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, dass die Menge an Fettalkoholethersulfat in dem flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mindestens 5 Gew.-% beträgt.It is further preferred that the amount of fatty alcohol ether sulfate in the liquid detergent or cleaning agent is at least 5% by weight.

Außerdem ist es bevorzugt, dass das Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel eine Wasseraktivität aw ≥ 0,38 aufweist.In addition, it is preferred that the washing or cleaning agent has a water activity a w ≥ 0.38.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung beträgt die Menge an aerob nicht biologisch abbaubaren organischen Inhaltsstoffen (aNBO) in dem Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel weniger als 0,55 g pro kg Waschladung.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the amount of aerobically non-biodegradable organic ingredients (aNBO) in the detergent or cleaner is less than 0.55 g per kg wash load.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung beträgt die Menge an anaerob nicht biologisch abbaubaren organischen Inhaltsstoffen (anNBO) in dem Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel weniger als 0,70 g pro kg Waschladung.In another embodiment of the invention, the amount of anaerobically non-biodegradable organic ingredients (anNBO) in the detergent or cleaner is less than 0.70 g per kg wash load.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass die wasserlösliche Umhüllung Polyvinylalkohol oder ein Polyvinylalkoholcopolymer enthält. Wasserlösliche Umhüllungen, die Polyvinylalkohol oder ein Polyvinylalkoholcopolymer enthalten, weisen eine gute Stabilität bei einer ausreichend hohen Wasserlöslichkeit, insbesondere Kaltwasserlöslichkeit, auf.It is preferable that the water-soluble coating contains polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer. Water-soluble coatings containing polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer have a good stability with a sufficiently high water solubility, in particular cold water solubility on.

Im Folgenden soll die Erfindung, unter anderem anhand von Beispielen, eingehender erläutert werden.In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail, inter alia, by way of examples.

Die wasserlösliche Verpackung kann als formstabiler Behälter, beispielsweise in Form einer Kapsel, Box, Dose oder eines Containers ausgebildet sein.The water-soluble packaging may be formed as a dimensionally stable container, for example in the form of a capsule, box, box or container.

Es ist grundsätzlich jedoch auch möglich und bevorzugt, die wasserlösliche Verpackung als einen nicht formstabilen Behälter, beispielsweise als Beutel auszuformen. Die Form einer derartigen wasserlöslichen Verpackung kann den Gebrauchsgegebenheiten weitgehend angepasst werden. Es kommen beispielsweise verschiedenste Formen wie beispielsweise Schläuche, Kissen, Zylinder, Flaschen oder Scheiben in Frage.However, in principle it is also possible and preferred to mold the water-soluble packaging as a non-dimensionally stable container, for example as a bag. The shape of such a water-soluble packaging can be largely adapted to the conditions of use. There are, for example, various forms such as hoses, pillows, cylinders, bottles or discs in question.

Die wasserlösliche Verpackung enthält ein flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel. Das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel enthält ausschließlich Tenside, die aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnenen werden.The water-soluble packaging contains a liquid washing or cleaning agent.

Bevorzugte Alkoholethoxylate weisen eine eingeengte Homologenverteilung auf (narrow range ethoxylates, NRE). Zusätzlich zu diesen alkoxylierte Fettalkoholen oder alternativ können auch Fettalkohole mit mehr als 12 EO eingesetzt werden. Beispiele hierfür sind Talgfettalkohol mit 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO oder 40 EO. Auch alkoxylierte Fettalkohole, die EO- und PO-Gruppen zusammen im Molekül enthalten, sind erfindungsgemäß einsetzbar.The alkoxylated fatty alcohols used are preferably ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and on average 4 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol radical is linear.

In addition to these alkoxylated fatty alcohols, or alternatively, fatty alcohols containing more than 12 EO can also be used. Examples include tallow fatty alcohol with 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO. Alkoxylated fatty alcohols which contain EO and PO groups together in the molecule can also be used according to the invention.

Außerdem können als nichtionische Tenside Alkylglykoside der allgemeinen Formel RO(G)x eingesetzt werden, in der R einen primären geradkettigen oder methylverzweigten, insbesondere in 2-Stellung methylverzweigten aliphatischen Rest mit 8 bis 22, vorzugsweise 12 bis 18 C-Atomen bedeutet und G das Symbol ist, das für eine Glykoseeinheit mit 5 oder 6 C-Atomen, vorzugsweise für Glucose, steht. Der Oligomerisierungsgrad x, der die Verteilung von Monoglykosiden und Oligoglykosiden angibt, ist eine beliebige Zahl zwischen 1 und 10; vorzugsweise liegt x bei 1,2 bis 1,4.In addition, as nonionic surfactants alkyl glycosides of the general formula RO (G) x can be used in which R is a primary straight-chain or methyl-branched, especially methyl-branched in the 2-position aliphatic radical having 8 to 22, preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms and G is the Is a symbol which represents a glycose unit having 5 or 6 C atoms, preferably glucose.

Das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel enthält ferner anionisches Tensid ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Fettalkoholsulfaten, Fettalkoholethersulfaten, Fettsäureseifen, sulfonierten Estoliden und Mischungen daraus. Insbesondere bevorzugt enthält das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel als anionisches Tensid Fettalkoholethersulfate und/oder Fettsäureseifen. Ganz besonders bevorzugt enthält das anionische Tensid eine Mischung aus Fettalkoholethersulfaten und Fettsäureseifen und ist frei von weiteren anionischen Tensiden.The liquid detergent or cleaning agent further contains anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol sulfates, fatty alcohol ether sulfates, fatty acid soaps, sulfonated estolides and mixtures thereof. The liquid washing or cleaning agent particularly preferably contains fatty alcohol ether sulfates and / or fatty acid soaps as anionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant most preferably contains a mixture of fatty alcohol ether sulfates and fatty acid soaps and is free of further anionic surfactants.

Als Fettalkoholsulfate werden die Salze der Schwefelsäurehalbester der C12-C18-Fettalkohole, beispielsweise aus Kokosfettalkohol, Talgfettalkohol, Lauryl-, Myristyl-, Cetyl- oder Stearylalkohol bevorzugt. Aus waschtechnischem Interesse sind die C12-C16-Alkylsulfate und C12-C15-Alkylsulfate sowie C14-C15-Alkylsulfate bevorzugt.As fatty alcohol sulfates, the salts of the sulfuric acid half esters of C 12 -C 18 fatty alcohols, for example from coconut oil fatty alcohol, tallow fatty alcohol, lauryl, myristyl, cetyl or stearyl alcohol are preferred.

In einer ganz besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform enthält das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel das Natriumsalz eines Fettalkoholethersulfats und eine mit Monoethanolamin neutralisierte Fettsäure. Es ist auch bevorzugt, dass die Menge an Fettalkoholethersulfat in dem gesamten flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mindestens 5 Gew.-% beträgt.In a very particularly preferred embodiment, the liquid washing or cleaning agent contains the sodium salt of a fatty alcohol ether sulfate and a fatty acid neutralized with monoethanolamine. It is also preferred that the amount of fatty alcohol ether sulfate in the total liquid detergent or cleaning agent is at least 5% by weight.

Die Gesamtmenge an anionischem Tensid in dem flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel beträgt bis zu 35 Gew.-% und vorzugsweise 15 bis 30 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.The total amount of anionic surfactant in the liquid washing or cleaning agent is up to 35% by weight and preferably 15 to 30% by weight, based on the total liquid detergent or cleaning agent.

Die Gesamtmenge an nichtionischem und anionischem Tensid in dem flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel beträgt bis zu 75 Gew.-% und vorzugsweise 50 bis 60 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.The total amount of nonionic and anionic surfactant in the liquid washing or cleaning agent is up to 75% by weight and preferably 50 to 60% by weight, based on the total liquid detergent or cleaning agent.

Das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel enthält ferner organisches Lösungsmittel, welches eine Mischung aus 1,2-Propandiol und Ethanol umfasst.The liquid detergent or cleaning agent further contains organic solvent comprising a mixture of 1,2-propanediol and ethanol.

Die Menge an Ethanol beträgt dabei bis zu 5 Gew.-% und vorzugsweise zwischen 1 und 3 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.The amount of ethanol is up to 5 wt .-%, and preferably between 1 and 3 wt .-%, each based on the total washing or cleaning agent.

Die Menge an 1,2-Propandiol beträgt bis zu 50 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise zwischen 10 und 40 Gew.-%, und ganz besonders bevorzugt zwischen 20 und 35 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.The amount of 1,2-propanediol is up to 50 wt .-%, preferably between 10 and 40 wt .-%, and most preferably between 20 and 35 wt .-%, each based on the total washing or cleaning agent.

Es hat sich insbesondere gezeigt, dass flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, die andere organische Lösungsmittelsysteme besitzen, beispielsweise eine Mischung aus 1,2-Propandiol und Isopropanol, instabil sind.It has been found, in particular, that liquid washing or cleaning agents which have other organic solvent systems, for example a mixture of 1,2-propanediol and isopropanol, are unstable.

Deshalb ist das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel frei von Isopropanol und in einer ganz besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform frei von weiteren organischen Lösungsmitteln. Entsprechend enthält ein besonders bevorzugtes flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel ein organisches Lösungsmittel, welches eine Mischung aus 1,2-Propandiol und Ethanol ist.Therefore, the liquid washing or cleaning agent is free of isopropanol and in a most preferred embodiment free of further organic solvents. Accordingly, a particularly preferred liquid washing or cleaning agent contains an organic solvent which is a mixture of 1,2-propanediol and ethanol.

Das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel enthält Wasser, wobei der Gehalt an Wasser weniger als 15 Gew.-% und mehr bevorzugt weniger als 13 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf das gesamte flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, beträgt. Insbesondere bevorzugt enthält das gesamte flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel 7 bis 12 Gew.-% Wasser.The liquid washing or cleaning agent contains water, wherein the content of water is less than 15 wt .-%, and more preferably less than 13 wt .-%, each based on the total liquid detergent or cleaning agent. Particularly preferably, the entire liquid washing or cleaning agent contains 7 to 12 wt .-% water.

Vorzugsweise weist das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel eine Wasseraktivität aw von mehr als 0,38 und mehr bevorzugt von mehr als 0,42 auf.

In the context of the present invention, the washing or cleaning agent preferably additionally contains one or more substances from the group of builders, bleaches, enzymes, pH adjusters, perfumes, perfume carriers, fluorescers, dyes, hydrotopes, foam inhibitors, silicone oils, antiredeposition agents, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents Anti-crease agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, non-aqueous solvents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, preservatives, corrosion inhibitors, antistatic agents, bittering agents, ironing aids, repellents and impregnating agents, skin-care agents, swelling and anti-slip agents, plasticizing components and UV absorbers ,

Das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel weist vorzugsweise eine Ionenstärke Ic von kleiner 250 mmol/l, mehr bevorzugt kleiner 200 mmol/l und ganz besonders bevorzugt kleiner 150 mmol/l auf. Die Ionenstärke I einer Lösung ist ein Maß für die elektrische Feldstärke aufgrund gelöster Ionen.

With
  • c i = molarity of the ion type i (in mol / l)
  • b i = molarity of the ion type i (in mol / kg)
  • z i = charge number of the ion type i

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine Erhöhung der Ionenstärke Ic auf 250 mol/l und mehr, beispielsweise durch Zusatz von anorganischen Salzen, um freies Wasser zu binden, zu einem Aussalzen von Inhaltsstoffen des Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittels und/oder zu Ablagerungen an der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung führen kann.It has been found that an increase in the ionic strength I c to 250 mol / l and more, for example by addition of inorganic salts to bind free water, to a salting out of ingredients of the detergent or / and deposits on the water-soluble envelope may result.

Aus diesem Grund kann es bevorzugt sein, dass das flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel frei von zugesetzten anorganischen Salzen ist.For this reason, it may be preferred that the liquid washing or cleaning agent is free from added inorganic salts.

Es ist ferner bevorzugt, dass die Menge an aerob nicht biologisch abbaubaren organischen Inhaltsstoffen (aNBO) in dem Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel weniger als 0,55 g pro kg Waschladung beträgt.It is further preferred that the amount of aerobic non-biodegradable organic ingredients (aNBO) in the detergent or cleaning agent is less than 0.55 g per kg wash load.
