Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of certain polymers to reduce the adhesion of microorganisms to textiles.
  • Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses can colonize household and textile surfaces. Bacteria and fungi can also multiply on such surfaces. This can result in hygiene risks, but also lead to unaesthetic microbial deposits, so-called biofilms. The occurrence of microbially induced, especially bacterially caused bad odors is possible. Garments made of delicate materials such as silk or microfibers can only be washed at 30 ° C or 40 ° C. It is possible that thereby fungi, such as the human pathogenic Candida albicans, and bacteria are not always killed sufficiently. In particular, after a fungal infection can come by such adhering to garments, not killed fungi to a reinfection.
  • biostatics microorganisms
  • biocides used for example in detergents and cleaners enter the wastewater after use and may impair the function of the microbial treatment stages in the sewage treatment plants.
  • selection pressure on the microorganisms for resistance formation is greatly increased, so that after some time new antimicrobial substances must be found that act against resistant microorganisms. It is therefore desirable to have biorepulsive substances instead of biocidal or biostatic substances which prevent the adhesion of the microorganisms without physiologically impairing the microorganisms.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von bestimmten Polymeren zur Verminderung der Anhaftung von Mikroorganismen auf Textilien.The present invention relates to the use of certain polymers to reduce the adhesion of microorganisms to textiles.

Mikroorganismen, wie Bakterien, Pilze und Viren können sich auf Oberflächen im Haushalt und auf Textilien ansiedeln. Bakterien und Pilze können sich auf solchen Oberflächen auch vermehren. Dies kann Hygienerisiken zur Folge haben, aber auch zu unästhetischen mikrobiellen Belägen, sogenannten Biofilmen, führen. Auch das Auftreten mikrobiell bedingter, insbesondere bakteriell bedingter schlechter Gerüche ist möglich. Kleidungsstücke aus empfindlichen Materialien wie etwa Seide oder Mikrofasern können zudem nur bei 30°C oder 40 °C gewaschen werden. Es ist möglich, dass dadurch Pilze, wie beispielsweise die humanpathogene Candida albicans, und Bakterien nicht immer in ausreichendem Maße abgetötet werden. Insbesondere nach einer Pilzinfektion kann es durch solche auf Kleidungsstücken haftenden, nicht abgetöteten Pilze zu einer Reinfektion kommen.Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses can colonize household and textile surfaces. Bacteria and fungi can also multiply on such surfaces. This can result in hygiene risks, but also lead to unaesthetic microbial deposits, so-called biofilms. The occurrence of microbially induced, especially bacterially caused bad odors is possible. Garments made of delicate materials such as silk or microfibers can only be washed at 30 ° C or 40 ° C. It is possible that thereby fungi, such as the human pathogenic Candida albicans, and bacteria are not always killed sufficiently. In particular, after a fungal infection can come by such adhering to garments, not killed fungi to a reinfection.

Um die Reinfektion durch an der Kleidung oder anderen textilen Oberflächen wie Möbelpolster oder Gardinen haftenden Mikroorganismen zu verhindern, wurden bisher vor allem antimikrobielle Substanzen eingesetzt, die entweder das Wachstum der Mikroorganismen hemmen (Biostatika) oder diese abtöten (Biozide). Nachteilig ist daran, dass solche zum Beispiel in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln verwendeten Biozide oder Biostatika nach dem Gebrauch ins Abwasser gelangen und die mikrobiellen Klärstufen in den Kläranlagen in ihrer Funktion beeinträchtigen können. Zudem wird der Selektionsdruck auf die Mikroorganismen zur Resistenzbildung stark erhöht, so dass nach einiger Zeit neue antimikrobielle Substanzen gefunden werden müssen, die gegen resistent gewordene Mikroorganismen wirken. Es ist daher wünschenswert, anstelle von biozid oder biostatisch wirkenden Substanzen biorepulsiv wirkende Substanzen zur Verfügung zu haben, welche die Adhäsion der Mikroorganismen verhindern, ohne die Mikroorganismen physiologisch zu beeinträchtigen.In order to prevent reinfection by adhering to clothing or other textile surfaces such as furniture upholstery or curtains microorganisms, so far mainly antimicrobial substances have been used, either inhibit the growth of microorganisms (biostatics) or kill them (biocides). The disadvantage is that such biocides or biostats used for example in detergents and cleaners enter the wastewater after use and may impair the function of the microbial treatment stages in the sewage treatment plants. In addition, the selection pressure on the microorganisms for resistance formation is greatly increased, so that after some time new antimicrobial substances must be found that act against resistant microorganisms. It is therefore desirable to have biorepulsive substances instead of biocidal or biostatic substances which prevent the adhesion of the microorganisms without physiologically impairing the microorganisms.

Aus der internationalen Patentanmeldung WO 2006/071452 A2 ist die Verwendung von Polyesteramiden zur temporären oder permanenten Ausrüstung von textilen Oberflächen bekannt. Die internationale Patentanmeldung WO 2006/071451 A2 betrifft die Verminderung der Anhaftung von Mikroorganismen an textilen Oberflächen durch Copolymere aus 5 Gew.-% bis 95 Gew.-% anionischem Vinylmonomer und 5 Gew.-% bis 95 Gew.-% nichtionischem hydrophilem Vinylmonomer, wobei Vinylmonomere mit sekundärer oder tertiärer Aminogruppe oder Ammoniumgruppe, polyfunktionale Vinylmonomere, hydrophobe Vinylmonomere und/oder Vinylmonomere mit Silikogruppen zusätzlich anwesend sein können. Aus der internationalen Patentanmeldung WO 2006/077049 A2 sind Polymere und Copolymere aus den Gruppen der Polyester, Polysaccharide, Polyether, Polyurethane, Polyharnstoffe und Polyamide oder deren Mischpolymere bekannt, die zur Verminderung oder Verhinderung der Adhäsion von Mikroorganismen an Textilien geeignet sind.From the international patent application WO 2006/071452 A2 The use of polyester amides for the temporary or permanent finishing of textile surfaces is known. The international patent application WO 2006/071451 A2 relates to the reduction of the adhesion of microorganisms to textile surfaces by copolymers of 5 wt .-% to 95 wt .-% of anionic vinyl monomer and 5 wt .-% to 95 wt .-% of nonionic hydrophilic vinyl monomer, wherein vinyl monomers having secondary or tertiary amino group or Ammonium group, polyfunctional vinyl monomers, hydrophobic vinyl monomers and / or vinyl monomers having silicone groups can be present in addition. From the international patent application WO 2006/077049 A2 Polymers and copolymers from the groups of polyesters, polysaccharides, polyethers, polyurethanes, polyureas and polyamides or their copolymers are known, which are suitable for reducing or preventing the adhesion of microorganisms to textiles.

Überraschend wurde gefunden, dass auf Oberflächen, die mit bestimmten Cellulosederivaten in Kontakt gebracht wurden, das Anhaften von Mikroorganismen unterbunden wird oder zumindest deutlich reduziert ist.Surprisingly, it has been found that on surfaces which have been brought into contact with certain cellulose derivatives, the adhesion of microorganisms is prevented or at least significantly reduced.

  • m, n and p independently of one another represent a number from 0 to 10,

  • for the prevention of microbial colonization, in particular the colonization by bacteria, fungi and / or viruses, of textile surfaces.

Das Cellulosederivat der allgemeinen Formel (I) wird vorzugsweise ausgewählt aus der Gruppe umfassend Trialkylammoniumhydroxypropylcellulose und Trialkylammoniumethylcellulose sowie Mischungen aus diesen. In dem Cellulosederivat der allgemeinen Formel (I) entspricht mindestens 1 Rest R der allgemeinen Formel (II) oder (III), wobei m, n und o größer 0 sind und/oder die Gruppierung -R1 steht für -NR2R3(R4)q.The cellulose derivative of the general formula (I) is preferably selected from the group comprising Trialkylammoniumhydroxypropylcellulose and trialkylammoniumethylcellulose and mixtures thereof. In the cellulose derivative of the general formula (I), at least one radical R corresponds to the general formula (II) or (III), where m, n and o are greater than 0 and / or the grouping -R 1 is -NR 2 R 3 ( R 4 ) q .

Die Substituenten der allgemeinen Formeln (II) und (III) können durch Veretherung freier Hydroxygruppen der Cellulose mit den entsprechenden Halogeniden, Halohydrinen oder Epoxiden eingeführt werden. Amin-modifizierte Celluloseether sind durch Reaktion mindestens einer Hydroxylgruppe von Cellulose und/oder hydroxylgruppenhaltigen Celluloseethern, beispielsweise Alkyl-, Alkylcarboxyalkyl-, Hydroxyalkyl- oder Alkylhydroxyalkylcelluloseethern, mit Halogen-Alkylaminen zugänglich. Als Halogen-Alkylamine kommen dabei insbesondere Trialkylamine in Betracht, bei denen eine Alkylgruppe ein Halogenatom, insbesondere Chlor, trägt. Unter diesen sind 1-Diethylamino-2-Chlorethan, 2-Chlor-N,N-dimethylpropylamin und 3-Chlor-N,N-dimethylpropylamin besonders bevorzugt. Um bei Einsatz von Halogen-Alkylaminen eine nukleophile Reaktion des Amin-Stickstoffs zu vermeiden, kann dieser in üblicher Weise in Salzform, beispielsweise als Hydrochlorid, vorliegen. Falls gewünscht kann man durch anschließende Neutralisation die freien Amine (q = 0) erhalten. Aus diesen können durch Umsetzung mit beispielsweise Alkylhalogeniden oder -sulfaten die Derivate mit quaternärem Stickstoffatom (q = 1) erhalten werden. Pro Gruppierung RCell in dem Cellulosederivat nach Formel (I) sind durchschnittlich vorzugsweise 0,01 bis 1, insbesondere 0,1 bis 0,8 von Resten R1, welche die Gruppierung -NR2R3(R4)q tragen, vorhanden, das heißt gemittelt über das gesamte Cellulosederivat ist vorzugsweise jede einhundertste bis jede, insbesondere jede zehnte bis jede achte von zehnen der Anydroglukoseeinheiten mit einer ein Stickstoffatom tragenden Gruppe substituiert. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Cellulose mit einer C8-24-Alkyldialkylammoniumhydroxypropylgruppe und/oder einer C8-24-Alkyldialkylammoniumethylgruppe substituiert.The substituents of general formulas (II) and (III) can be introduced by etherification of free hydroxy groups of the cellulose with the corresponding halides, halohydrins or epoxides. Amine-modified cellulose ethers are obtainable by reacting at least one hydroxyl group of cellulose and / or hydroxyl-containing cellulose ethers, for example alkyl, alkylcarboxyalkyl, hydroxyalkyl or alkylhydroxyalkylcellulose ethers, with halogenated alkylamines. Particularly suitable halogenoalkylamines are trialkylamines in which an alkyl group carries a halogen atom, in particular chlorine. Among them, 1-diethylamino-2-chloroethane, 2-chloro-N, N-dimethylpropylamine and 3-chloro-N, N-dimethylpropylamine are particularly preferable. In order to avoid a nucleophilic reaction of the amine nitrogen when using haloalkylamines, this may be present in the usual manner in salt form, for example as hydrochloride. If desired, the free amines (q = 0) can be obtained by subsequent neutralization. From these, by reacting with, for example, alkyl halides or sulfates, the derivatives having a quaternary nitrogen atom (q = 1) can be obtained. Per moiety R Cell in the cellulose derivative according to formula (I) are an average of preferably from 0.01 to 1, especially 0.1 to 0.8 of R 1, which the group -NR 2 R 3 (R 4) q wear available that is, averaged over the entire cellulose derivative, preferably every one-hundredth to every, and particularly every tenth to every eighth, of tens of the anhydroglucose units is substituted with a nitrogen atom-bearing group. In a preferred embodiment, the cellulose is substituted with a C 8-24 alkyl dialkyl ammonium hydroxypropyl group and / or a C 8-24 alkyl dialkyl ammonium ethyl group.

Die mittlere Molmasse der erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Cellulosederivate liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich bis zu 500000 g/mol. Bei den hier und später gegebenenfalls für andere polymere Inhaltsstoffe angegebenen mittleren Molmassen handelt es sich um gewichtsmittlere Molmassen Mw, die grundsätzlich mittels Gelpermeationschromatographie mit Hilfe eines RI-Detektors bestimmbar sind, wobei die Messung zweckmäßig gegen einen externen Standard erfolgt.The average molar mass of the cellulose derivatives used according to the invention is preferably in the range of up to 500,000 g / mol. The mean molar masses indicated here and later, if appropriate, for other polymeric ingredients are weight-average molar masses M w , which can in principle be determined by means of gel permeation chromatography with the aid of an RI detector, the measurement being expediently carried out against an external standard.

Vorzugsweise weist ein erfindungsgemäß eingesetztes Cellulosederivat eine Löslichkeit in Wasser bei 25°C über den gesamten Bereich von pH 7 bis pH 9, besonders bevorzugt über den gesamten Bereich von pH 2 bis pH 11, von mindestens 0,01 g/l, insbesondere von mindestens 0,1 g/l und besonders bevorzugt von 1 g/l bis 15 g/l auf.Preferably, a cellulose derivative used according to the invention has a solubility in water at 25 ° C over the entire range of pH 7 to pH 9, particularly preferably over the entire Range of pH 2 to pH 11, of at least 0.01 g / l, in particular of at least 0.1 g / l and particularly preferably from 1 g / l to 15 g / l on.

Die genannten Cellulosederivate sind in der Lage, Textilien so auszurüsten, dass mikrobielles Wachstum auf ihnen vermieden wird, weil Bakterien, Pilze und/oder Viren auf der mit ihnen behandelten Textiloberfläche nicht oder nur vermindert anhaften. Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher die Verwendung der genannten Cellulosederivate zur Verhinderung oder Verminderung des Adhäsion von Mikroorganismen, insbesondere von Bakterien, Pilze und/oder Viren, an Textilien.The cellulose derivatives mentioned are able to furnish textiles in such a way that microbial growth on them is avoided because bacteria, fungi and / or viruses do not adhere or only adhere to a reduced extent on the textile surface treated with them. Another object of the invention is therefore the use of said cellulose derivatives for preventing or reducing the adhesion of microorganisms, in particular of bacteria, fungi and / or viruses, to textiles.

Vorzugsweise setzt man zur Behandlung der Textiloberfläche eine wässrige Flotte ein, die 1 mg/l bis 5000 mg/l, insbesondere 10 mg/l bis 500 mg/l des erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Cellulosederivats enthält.For the treatment of the textile surface, preference is given to using an aqueous liquor which contains 1 mg / l to 5000 mg / l, in particular 10 mg / l to 500 mg / l of the cellulose derivative used according to the invention.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung kann vorzugsweise so realisiert werden, dass man ein Waschmittel, welches ein genanntes Cellulosederivat enthält, im Rahmen eines maschinellen oder mit der Hand ausgeführten Waschvorgangs auf ein Textil einwirken lässt. Weitere Gegenstände der Erfindung sind daher die Verwendung eines Waschmittels, das ein genanntes Cellulosederivat enthält, zur Verhinderung der mikrobiellen Besiedelung von textilen Oberflächen, und die Verwendung eines Waschmittels, das ein genanntes Cellulosederivat enthält, zur Verhinderung oder Verminderung des Adhäsion von Mikroorganismen an Textilien.The use according to the invention can preferably be realized by allowing a detergent containing a said cellulose derivative to act on a textile in the course of a machine or hand washing operation. Further objects of the invention are therefore the use of a detergent containing a said cellulose derivative for preventing the microbial colonization of textile surfaces, and the use of a detergent containing a said cellulose derivative for preventing or reducing the adhesion of microorganisms to textiles.

Ein Waschmittel, worunter hier ein Mittel zum Waschen von Wäsche oder ein vor dem eigentlichen Waschvorgang zum Einsatz kommendes Wäschevorbehandlungsmittel wie zum Beispiel ein Fleckentfernungsmittel oder ein nach dem eigentlichen Waschvorgang zum Einsatz kommendes Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel wie zum Beispiel ein Weichspülmittel verstanden wird, enthält vorzugsweise 0,01 Gew.-% bis 2 Gew.-%, insbesondere 0,05 Gew.-% bis 1,5 Gew.-% und besonders bevorzugt 0,5 Gew.-% bis 1,2 Gew.-% des genannten Wirkstoffs neben üblichen, mit diesem verträglichen Inhaltsstoffen. Diese Mittel, die als insbesondere pulverförmige Feststoffe, in nachverdichteter Teilchenform, als homogene Lösungen oder als Suspensionen beziehungsweise Dispersionen vorliegen können, können außer dem erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Cellulosederivat im Prinzip alle bekannten und in derartigen Mitteln üblichen Inhaltsstoffe enthalten. Die Waschmittel können insbesondere Buildersubstanzen, oberflächenaktive Tenside, Bleichmittel, Bleichaktivatoren und- katalysatoren, wassermischbare organische Lösungsmittel, Enzyme, Sequestrierungsmittel, Elektrolyte, pH-Regulatoren oder weitere Hilfsstoffe, wie optische Aufheller, Vergrauungsinhibitoren, Farbübertragungsinhibitoren, Schaumregulatoren sowie Farb- und Duftstoffe, enthalten. Wenn sie flüssig und wasserhaltig sind, weisen sie vorzugsweise einen pH-Wert im Bereich von 8 bis 12, insbesondere 9 bis 12 auf; ansonsten gelten die genannten pH-Wert-Bereiche für 0,47 gew.-%ige wässrige Lösungen der Mittel.A detergent, which is understood here to mean a means for washing laundry or a laundry pre-treatment agent used before the actual washing process, for example a stain remover or a laundry after-wash treatment such as, for example, a fabric softener, preferably contains 0.01% by weight .-% to 2 wt .-%, in particular 0.05 wt .-% to 1.5 wt .-% and particularly preferably 0.5 wt .-% to 1.2 wt .-% of said active ingredient in addition to conventional with this compatible ingredients. These agents, which may be in the form of particularly pulverulent solids, in densified particle form, as homogeneous solutions or as suspensions or dispersions, may in principle contain all known ingredients customary in such agents besides the cellulose derivative used according to the invention. The detergents may in particular contain builder substances, surface-active surfactants, bleaches, bleach activators and catalysts, water-miscible organic solvents, enzymes, sequestering agents, electrolytes, pH regulators or other auxiliaries, such as optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors, color transfer inhibitors, foam regulators and dyes and fragrances. If they are liquid and hydrous, they preferably have a pH in the range of 8 to 12, especially 9 to 12; otherwise, the pH ranges mentioned apply to 0.47% by weight aqueous solutions of the agents.

Durch den Einsatz der genannten Cellulosederivate in einem Waschmittel wird bei dessen Anwendung sowohl die Adhäsion von Mikroorganismen an Textilien inhibiert oder zumindest verringert als auch ein leichteres Ablösen von mikrobiellen Verschmutzungen von den Textilien erreicht.Through the use of said cellulose derivatives in a detergent, both the adhesion of microorganisms to textiles is inhibited or at least reduced and easier detachment of microbial contaminants from the textiles is achieved.

Derartige Fettsäuren können auch in nicht vollständig neutralisierter Form eingesetzt werden. Zu den brauchbaren Tensiden des Sulfat-Typs gehören die Salze der Schwefelsäurehalbester von Fettalkoholen mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen und die Sulfatierungsprodukte der genannten nichtionischen Tenside mit niedrigem Ethoxylierungsgrad. Zu den verwendbaren Tensiden vom Sulfonat-Typ gehören lineare Alkylbenzolsulfonate mit 9 bis 14 C-Atomen im Alkylteil, Alkansulfonate mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen, sowie Olefinsulfonate mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen, die bei der Umsetzung entsprechender Monoolefine mit Schwefeltrioxid entstehen, sowie alpha-Sulfofettsäureester, die bei der Sulfonierung von Fettsäuremethyl- oder -ethylestern entstehen.Suitable anionic surfactants are in particular soaps and those which contain sulfate or sulfonate groups with preferably alkali ions as cations.

Das erste saure Monomer beziehungsweise dessen Salz leitet sich von einer monoethylenisch ungesättigten C3-C8-Carbonsäure und vorzugsweise von einer C3-C4-Monocarbonsäure, insbesondere von (Meth)-acrylsäure ab. Das zweite saure Monomer beziehungsweise dessen Salz kann ein Derivat einer C4-C8-Dicarbonsäure sein, wobei Maleinsäure besonders bevorzugt ist. Die dritte monomere Einheit wird in diesem Fall von Vinylalkohol und/oder vorzugsweise einem veresterten Vinylalkohol gebildet. Insbesondere sind Vinylalkohol-Derivate bevorzugt, welche einen Ester aus kurzkettigen Carbonsäuren, beispielsweise von C1-C4-Carbonsäuren, mit Vinylalkohol darstellen. Bevorzugte Polymere enthalten dabei 60 Gew.-% bis 95 Gew.-%, insbesondere 70 Gew.-% bis 90 Gew.-% (Meth)acrylsäure bzw. (Meth)acrylat, besonders bevorzugt Acrylsäure bzw. Acrylat, und Maleinsäure bzw. Maleinat sowie 5 Gew.-% bis 40 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 10 Gew.-% bis 30 Gew.-% Vinylalkohol und/oder Vinylacetat.

Dieses Kohlenhydrat kann dabei beispielsweise ein Mono-, Di-, Oligo- oder Polysaccharid sein, wobei Mono-, Di- oder Oligosaccharide bevorzugt sind. Besonders bevorzugt ist Saccharose.A detergent preferably contains at least one water-soluble and / or water-insoluble, organic and / or inorganic builder. The water-soluble organic builder substances include polycarboxylic acids, in particular citric acid and sugar acids, monomeric and polymeric aminopolycarboxylic acids, in particular glycinediacetic acid, methylglycinediacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, iminodisuccinates such as ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinic acid and hydroxyiminodisuccinates, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and polyaspartic acid, polyphosphonic acids, in particular aminotris (methylenephosphonic acid), ethylenediamine tetrakis (methylene-phosphonic acid), Lysintetra (methylenephosphonic acid) and 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, polymeric hydroxy compounds such as dextrin and polymeric (poly) carboxylic acids, especially by oxidation of polysaccharides accessible polycarboxylates, polymeric acrylic acids, methacrylic acids, maleic acids and copolymers thereof, which also small proportions Polymerizable substances without carboxylic acid functionality may contain polymerized.

A particularly preferred acrylic acid-maleic acid copolymer has a relative average molecular weight of 50,000 to 100,000. Suitable, although less preferred, compounds of this class are copolymers of acrylic or methacrylic acid with vinyl ethers, such as vinylmethyl ethers, vinyl esters, ethylene, propylene and styrene, in which the acid content is at least 50% by weight.

Auch die Anwesenheit von bleichkatalysierenden Übergangsmetallkomplexen ist möglich. Diese werden vorzugsweise unter den Cobalt-, Eisen-, Kupfer-, Titan-, Vanadium-, Mangan- und Rutheniumkomplexen ausgewählt. Als Liganden in derartigen Übergangsmetallkomplexen kommen sowohl anorganische als auch organische Verbindungen in Frage, zu denen neben Carboxylaten insbesondere Verbindungen mit primären, sekundären und/oder tertiären Amin- und/oder Alkohol-Funktionen, wie Pyridin, Pyridazin, Pyrimidin, Pyrazin, Imidazol, Pyrazol, Triazol, 2,2'-Bispyridylamin, Tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)amin, 1,4,7-Triazacyclononan, 1,4,7-Trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononan, 1,5,9-Trimethyl-1,5,9-triazacyclododecan, (Bis-((1-methylimidazol-2-yl)-methyl))-(2-pyridylmethyl)-amin, N,N'-(Bis-(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)-methyl)-ethylendiamin, N-Bis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-aminoethanol, 2,6-Bis-(bis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)aminomethyl)-4-methylphenol, N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropan, 2,6-Bis-(bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl)-4-methylphenol, 1,3-Bis-(bis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)aminomethyl)-benzol, Sorbitol, Mannitol, Erythritol, Adonitol, Inositol, Lactose, und gegebenenfalls substituierte Salene, Porphine und Porphyrine gehören. Zu den anorganischen Neutralliganden gehören insbesondere Ammoniak und Wasser. Falls nicht sämtliche Koordinationsstellen des Übergangsmetallzentralatoms durch Neutralliganden besetzt sind, enthält der Komplex weitere, vorzugsweise anionische und unter diesen insbesondere ein- oder zweizähnige Liganden. Zu diesen gehören insbesondere die Halogenide wie Fluorid, Chlorid, Bromid und lodid, und die (NO2)--Gruppe, das heißt ein Nitro-Ligand oder ein Nitrito-Ligand. Die (NO2)--Gruppe kann an ein Übergangsmetall auch chelatbildend gebunden sein oder sie kann zwei Übergangsmetallatome asymmetrisch oder η1-O-verbrücken. Außer den genannten Liganden können die Übergangsmetallkomplexe noch weitere, in der Regel einfacher aufgebaute Liganden, insbesondere ein- oder mehrwertige Anionliganden, tragen. In Frage kommen beispielsweise Nitrat, Acetat, Trifluoracetat, Formiat, Carbonat, Citrat, Oxalat, Perchlorat sowie komplexe Anionen wie Hexafluorophosphat. Die Anionliganden sollen für den Ladungsausgleich zwischen Übergangsmetall-Zentralatom und dem Ligandensystem sorgen. Auch die Anwesenheit von Oxo-Liganden, Peroxo-Liganden und Imino-Liganden ist möglich. Insbesondere derartige Liganden können auch verbrückend wirken, so dass mehrkernige Komplexe entstehen. Im Falle verbrückter, zweikerniger Komplexe müssen nicht beide Metallatome im Komplex gleich sein. Auch der Einsatz zweikerniger Komplexe, in denen die beiden Übergangsmetallzentralatome unterschiedliche Oxidationszahlen aufweisen, ist möglich. Falls Anionliganden fehlen oder die Anwesenheit von Anionliganden nicht zum Ladungsausgleich im Komplex führt, sind in den gemäß der Erfindung zu verwendenden Übergangsmetallkomplex-Verbindungen anionische Gegenionen anwesend, die den kationischen Übergangsmetall-Komplex neutralisieren. Zu diesen anionischen Gegenionen gehören insbesondere Nitrat, Hydroxid, Hexafluorophosphat, Sulfat, Chlorat, Perchlorat, die Halogenide wie Chlorid oder die Anionen von Carbonsäuren wie Formiat, Acetat, Oxalat, Benzoat oder Citrat. Beispiele für einsetzbare Übergangsmetallkomplex-Verbindungen sind Mn(IV)2(µ-O)3(1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononan)-di-hexafluorophosphat, [N,N'-Bis[(2-hydroxy-5-vinylphenyl)-methylen]-1,2-diaminocyclohexan]-mangan-(III)-chlorid, [N,N'-Bis[(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-methylen]-1,2-diaminocyclohexan]-mangan-(III)-acetat, [N,N'-Bis[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-methylen]-1,2-phenylendiamin]-mangan-(III)-acetat, [N,N'-Bis[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-methylen]-1,2-diaminocyclohexan]-mangan-(III)-chlorid, [N,N'-Bis[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-methylen]-1,2-diaminoethan]-mangan-(III)-chlorid, [N,N'-Bis[(2-hydroxy-5-sulfonatophenyl)-methylen]-1,2-diaminoethan]-mangan-(III)-chlorid, Mangan-oxalatokomplexe, Nitropentammin-cobalt(III)-chlorid, Nitritopentammin-cobalt(III)-chlorid, Hexammincobalt(III)-chlorid, Chloropentammin-cobalt(III)-chlorid sowie der Peroxo-Komplex [(NH3)5Co-O-O-Co(NH3)5]Cl4.The presence of bleach-catalyzing transition metal complexes is also possible. These are preferably selected from the cobalt, iron, copper, titanium, vanadium, manganese and ruthenium complexes. Suitable ligands in such transition metal complexes are both inorganic and organic compounds, which in addition to carboxylates in particular compounds having primary, secondary and / or tertiary amine and / or alcohol functions, such as pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, imidazole, pyrazole , Triazole, 2,2'-bispyridylamine, tris (2-pyridylmethyl) amine, 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, 1,5,9-trimethyl -1,5,9-triazacyclododecane, (bis ((1-methylimidazol-2-yl) methyl)) - (2-pyridylmethyl) amine, N, N '- (bis (1-methylimidazole-2-yl) yl) -methyl) -ethylenediamine, N-bis (2-benzimidazolylmethyl) aminoethanol, 2,6-bis (bis (2-benzimidazolylmethyl) aminomethyl) -4-methylphenol, N, N, N ', N' Tetrakis (2-benzimidazolylmethyl) -2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane, 2,6-bis (bis (2-pyridylmethyl) aminomethyl) -4-methylphenol, 1,3-bis (bis (bis) 2-benzimidazolylmethyl) aminomethyl) benzene, sorbitol, mannitol, erythritol, adonitol, inositol, lactose, and optionally substituted ones Salene, porphins and porphyrins belong. The inorganic neutral ligands include in particular ammonia and water. If not all coordination sites of the transition metal central atom are occupied by neutral ligands, the complex contains further, preferably anionic and among these in particular mono- or bidentate ligands. These include in particular the halides such as fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide, and the (NO 2 ) - group, that is a nitro ligand or a nitrito ligand. The (NO 2 ) - group may also be chelated to a transition metal, or it may bridge two transition metal atoms asymmetrically or η 1 -O-bridge. In addition to the ligands mentioned, the transition metal complexes may carry further, generally simpler ligands, in particular mono- or polyvalent anion ligands. In question, for example, nitrate, acetate, trifluoroacetate, formate, carbonate, citrate, oxalate, perchlorate and complex anions such as hexafluorophosphate. The anion ligands should provide charge balance between the transition metal central atom and the ligand system. The presence of oxo ligands, peroxo ligands and imino ligands is also possible. In particular, such ligands can also act bridging, so that polynuclear complexes arise. In the case of bridged, dinuclear complexes, both metal atoms in the complex need not be the same. The use of binuclear complexes in which the two transition metal central atoms have different oxidation numbers is also possible. If anion ligands are missing or the presence of anionic ligands does not result in charge balance in the complex, anionic counterions which neutralize the cationic transition metal complex are present in the transition metal complex compounds to be used according to the invention. These anionic counterions include in particular nitrate, hydroxide, hexafluorophosphate, sulfate, chlorate, perchlorate, the halides such as chloride or the anions of carboxylic acids such as formate, acetate, oxalate, benzoate or citrate. Examples of transition metal complex compounds that can be used are Mn (IV) 2 (μ-O) 3 (1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) -di-hexafluorophosphate, [N, N'-bis [(2 -hydroxy-5-vinylphenyl) methylene] -1,2-diaminocyclohexane] manganese (III) chloride, [N, N'-bis [(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl) methylene] -1,2 diaminocyclohexane] manganese (III) acetate, [N, N'-bis [(2-hydroxyphenyl) methylene] -1,2-phenylenediamine] manganese (III) acetate, [N, N'-bis [(2-hydroxyphenyl) methylene] -1,2-diaminocyclohexane] manganese (III) chloride, [N, N'-bis [(2-hydroxyphenyl) methylene] -1 , 2-diaminoethane] manganese (III) chloride, [N, N'-bis [(2-hydroxy-5-sulfonatophenyl) methylene] -1,2-diaminoethane] -manganese (III) chloride, Manganese oxalato complexes, nitropentammine cobalt (III) chloride, nitrite pentammine cobalt (III) chloride, hexammine cobalt (III) chloride, chloropentammine cobalt (III) chloride, and the peroxo complex [(NH 3 ) 5 Co).

Mittel in Form wässriger oder sonstige übliche Lösungsmittel enthaltender Lösungen werden besonders vorteilhaft durch einfaches Mischen der Inhaltsstoffe, die in Substanz oder als Lösung in einen automatischen Mischer gegeben werden können, hergestellt.Compositions in the form of aqueous or other conventional solvent-containing solutions are particularly advantageously prepared by simply mixing the ingredients, which can be added in bulk or as a solution in an automatic mixer.

Die Mittel liegen vorzugsweise als pulverförmige, granulare oder tablettenförmige Präparate vor, die in an sich bekannter Weise, beispielsweise durch Mischen, Granulieren, Walzenkompaktieren und/oder durch Sprühtrocknung der thermisch belastbaren Komponenten und Zumischen der empfindlicheren Komponenten, zu denen insbesondere Enzyme, Bleichmittel und bleichaktivierende Wirkstoffe zu rechnen sind, hergestellt werden können. Zur Herstellung von Mitteln mit erhöhtem Schüttgewicht, insbesondere im Bereich von 650 g/l bis 950 g/l, ist ein einen Extrusionsschritt aufweisendes Verfahren bevorzugt.The agents are preferably in the form of powdered, granular or tablet-shaped preparations which are compacted in a manner known per se, for example by mixing, granulating, roll compacting and / or by spray-drying the thermally stable components and admixing the more sensitive components, to which in particular enzymes, bleaching agents and bleach-activating agents are to be expected. For the production of compositions having an increased bulk density, in particular in the range from 650 g / l to 950 g / l, a process comprising an extrusion step is preferred.

Zur Herstellung von Mitteln in Tablettenform geht man vorzugsweise derart vor, dass man alle Bestandteile in einem Mischer miteinander vermischt und das Gemisch mittels herkömmlicher Tablettenpressen, beispielsweise Exzenterpressen oder Rundläuferpressen, mit Preßdrucken im Bereich von 200 · 105 Pa bis 1 500 · 105 Pa verpresst. Man erhält so problemlos bruchfeste und dennoch unter Anwendungsbedingungen ausreichend schnell lösliche Tabletten mit Biegefestigkeit von normalerweise über 150 N. Vorzugsweise weist eine derart hergestellte Tablette ein Gewicht von 15 g bis 40 g, insbesondere von 20 g bis 30 g auf, bei einem Durchmesser von 35 mm bis 40 mm.For the preparation of compositions in tablet form, the procedure is preferably such that all components are mixed together in a mixer and the mixture by means of conventional tablet presses, such as eccentric or rotary presses, with pressing pressures in the range of 200 · 10 5 Pa to 1 500 · 10 5 Pa pressed.

Beispielexample

Das Cellulosederivat Polyquaternium-67 (quaternisierte Hydroxyethylcellulose mit kationischer Substitution durch Trimethylammonium und Dimethyldodecylammonium; Softcat® SX 400 H) wurde in 1 gew-%iger Lösung auf Läppchen aus Baumwolle zwangsappliziert, die Läppchen wurden getrocknet und anschließend mit den Prüfbakterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa beaufschlagt. Dazu wurden die Prüfbakterien zuvor über Nacht auf TSA Agarmedium kultiviert und anschließend mit Trypton-NaCl von den Agarplatten abgeschwemmt. Es erfolgten Verdünnungsschritte in Trypton-NaCl. Der letzte Verdünnungsschritt wurde in PBS-Puffer (1fach) durchgeführt. Nach Inkubation der Prüfkeimsuspension auf den Textilprüfläppchen wurden diese anschließend wiederholt mit Pufferlösung gespült, um nicht adhärierte Testkeime abzuwaschen. Die Anzahl der an die Textilprüfläppchen adhärierten Mikroorganismen wurde bestimmt, indem die Textilprüfläppchen in sterile Röhrchen mit PBS + 0,05% Tween 80 und Glasperlen transferiert wurden, um fest anhaftende Testkeime abzulösen. Anschließend wurden die Läppchen in sterile Petrischalen gelegt, mit Caso-Agar überschichtet und bis zu 48 h bei 37°C aerob inkubiert. Zusätzlich erfolgte eine Keimzahlbestimmung der Schüttellösung. Die Menge an adhäriertem Mikroorganismus im Vergleich zu der Menge (100 %), die unter den gleichen Bedingungen an einem unbehandelten Läppchen anhaftete, betrug nur 70 %. Die Mikroorganismen waren demnach an die behandelten Läppchen signifikant geringer als an die unbehandelten Läppchen gebunden worden.The cellulose derivative Polyquaternium-67 (quaternized hydroxyethylcellulose with cationic substitution by trimethylammonium and dimethyldodecylammonium, Softcat® SX 400 H) was forcibly applied in 1% strength solution to cotton lobes, the lobules were dried and then treated with the test bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For this purpose, the test bacteria were previously cultivated overnight on TSA agar medium and then washed away with the tryptone-NaCl from the agar plates. There were dilution steps in tryptone-NaCl. The final dilution step was carried out in PBS buffer (1-fold). After incubation of the test microbial suspension on the Textilprüflppchen these were then rinsed repeatedly with buffer solution to wash off non-adherent test germs. The number of microorganisms adhered to the textile scratches was determined by transferring the scrims to sterile tubes containing PBS + 0.05% Tween 80 and glass beads to strip off adherent test bacteria. Subsequently, the lobes were placed in sterile Petri dishes, covered with Caso agar and incubated aerobically for 48 h at 37 ° C. In addition, a germ count of the shaking solution was carried out. The amount of adhered microorganism compared to the amount (100%) adhered to an untreated lobe under the same conditions was only 70%. The microorganisms were therefore significantly lower in the treated lobes than bound to the untreated lobules.
