Definitions
- the invention further relates to the use of such a composition for the production of a cleaning solution for carpets and upholstery, in particular for use with a spray extraction device.
- Effective cleaning of carpets (i.e., especially carpets) and upholstery (e.g., seating or in automobiles) can be done particularly advantageously with a spray extractor.
- a special cleaning solution is applied in a definable dosage to be cleaned carpet or pad and after a certain exposure time, which can be from a few seconds to a few hours, sucked out again with the same device, including the dissolved or dispersed impurities.
- the application and suction can take place within the same operation.
- the user of a spray extraction device acquires a finished cleaning solution that can be filled directly into the storage tank of the device.
- the disadvantage, however, is that relatively high weights and volumes must be transported and stored in this case by the water content of the cleaning solution, this problem is particularly relevant for commercial users to implement the correspondingly high amounts of cleaning solution.
- compositions of this type may contain a variety of different components in order to develop the best possible cleaning action, but they regularly comprise at least the constituents mentioned at the outset (complexing agents, surfactants and components for encapsulating impurities).
- Some compositions are from international patent applications WO 2014/027181 . WO 2004/013267 . WO 97/35955 . WO 96/14382 .
- EP 0021799 known.
- the at least one complexing agent in the composition is particularly required for marking the water hardness, i. to complex the calcium and magnesium ions in the tap water with which the composition is dissolved by the user.
- the complexing agent also makes a significant contribution to the cleaning effect.
- Compositions according to the prior art contain as complexing agents in particular phosphates, which are extremely disadvantageous from an ecological point of view, but hitherto could not yet be replaced by alternative complexing agents with comparable cleaning performance.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a composition in the form of a solid mixture for the preparation of a cleaning solution for carpets and upholstery, which has a good cleaning performance and comprises complexing agents that are not phosphates.
- composition of the aforementioned type according to the invention comprises as complexing agent citric acid, sodium gluconate, oxalic acid and sodium metasilicate.
- composition prepared cleaning solution is used by means of a spray extraction device for cleaning carpets or upholstery.
- composition according to the invention preferably contains no phosphates, so that the use is ecologically safer than with the corresponding compositions according to the prior art.
- the cleaning performance of the composition can be further optimized by choosing the proportions of the various complexing agents.
- the weight ratio of citric acid and / or citrate to oxalic acid and / or oxalate is between 5: 1 and 20: 1.
- citric acid and / or citrate is meant the sum of the proportions of free citric acid and / or one or more salts of citric acid contained in the solid mixture.
- the weight ratio of oxalic acid and / or oxalate to the silicate contained in the composition is between 1: 1 and 3: 1.
- the silicate is sodium metasilicate.
- the proportion of all complexing agents in the solid mixture is in the range of up to 40% by weight, in particular in the range of 20 to 30% by weight.
- compositions according to the invention are the at least one component for encapsulating impurities.
- Such components bind the impurities and facilitate their subsequent removal, i. in particular their suction with the aid of the spray extraction device.
- the composition comprises, as a component for encapsulating impurities, a polyacrylic acid or its salt, in particular its sodium salt.
- Polyacrilic acids or salts thereof which have a molecular weight in the range from 3,000 to 5,000 g / mol have proved to be particularly advantageous.
- the proportion of polyacrylic acid or its salt is preferably in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 wt.%.
- the composition desirably comprises one or more nonionic surfactants.
- nonionic surfactants include one or more polyalkylene glycol ethers as nonionic surfactants.

The slightly lower cleaning performance is accepted with regard to the more comfortable handling.
- composition in the form of tabs typically does not comprise any odor-absorbing component, since this would hardly be effective in the lower dosage.
- composition in the form of tabs is preferred a higher proportion of disintegrants, in particular 40 to 50 wt.%, So that the compressed molded body disintegrates as soon as possible upon contact with water and dissolves.
- the pressed molding is coated with a water-soluble film, in particular based on polyvinyl alcohol. Thereby, an undesirable skin contact with the components of the composition can be avoided.

- the composition In the preparation of the cleaning solution, preferably 3 to 15 g of the composition is dissolved in one liter of water. As mentioned above, higher concentrations (e.g., 10 g / L) are usually chosen when the solid mixture is in the form of a powder rather than in the form of a compressed shaped article (then, for example, only 4 g / L).
- composition of the present invention can be optimized to dissolve the solid mixture relatively quickly (for example, in cold water for one minute and warm water for one minute, both in the case of a powder and in the case of tabs). This can be achieved in particular by a corresponding proportion of disintegrant.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Zusammensetzung in Form einer Feststoffmischung zur Herstellung einer Reinigungslösung für Teppich und Polster, umfassend mindestens einen Komplexbildner, mindestens ein Tensid und mindestens eine Komponente zum Einkapseln von Verunreinigungen,
dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Zusammensetzung als Komplexbildner umfasst:
- 10 bis 30 Gew.% Citronensäure,
- optional bis zu 10 Gew.% Trinatriumcitrat,
- 4 bis 6 Gew.% Natriumgluconat,
- 1 bis 3 Gew.% Oxalsäure,
- 0,5 bis 1,5 Gew.% Natriummetasilikat,
characterized in that the composition comprises as a complexing agent:
- 10 to 30% by weight of citric acid,
- optionally up to 10% by weight of trisodium citrate,
- 4 to 6% by weight sodium gluconate,
- 1 to 3% by weight of oxalic acid,
- 0.5 to 1.5% by weight of sodium metasilicate,
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner die Verwendung einer derartigen Zusammensetzung zur Herstellung einer Reinigungslösung für Teppiche und Polster, insbesondere zur Anwendung mit einem Sprühextraktionsgerät.The invention further relates to the use of such a composition for the production of a cleaning solution for carpets and upholstery, in particular for use with a spray extraction device.
Eine effektive Reinigung von Teppichen (d.h. insbesondere von Teppichböden) und von Polstern (z.B. von Sitzmöbeln oder in Kraftfahrzeugen) kann besonders vorteilhaft mit einem Sprühextraktionsgerät erfolgen. Dabei wird eine spezielle Reinigungslösung in einer definierbaren Dosierung auf den zu reinigenden Teppich oder das Polster aufgetragen und nach einer bestimmten Einwirkzeit, die von wenigen Sekunden bis zu einigen Stunden betragen kann, mit demselben Gerät wieder abgesaugt, einschließlich der gelösten bzw. dispergierten Verunreinigungen. Bei sehr kurzen Einwirkzeiten kann das Auftragen und Absaugen innerhalb desselben Arbeitsgangs erfolgen.Effective cleaning of carpets (i.e., especially carpets) and upholstery (e.g., seating or in automobiles) can be done particularly advantageously with a spray extractor. In this case, a special cleaning solution is applied in a definable dosage to be cleaned carpet or pad and after a certain exposure time, which can be from a few seconds to a few hours, sucked out again with the same device, including the dissolved or dispersed impurities. For very short exposure times, the application and suction can take place within the same operation.
In vielen Fällen erwirbt der Anwender eines Sprühextraktionsgerätes eine fertige Reinigungslösung, die unmittelbar in den Vorratstank des Gerätes eingefüllt werden kann. Dadurch gestaltet sich die Anwendung sehr einfach, da das Produkt vom Anwender nicht aufgelöst oder verdünnt werden muss. Nachteilig ist allerdings, dass in diesem Fall durch den Wasseranteil der Reinigungslösung relativ hohe Gewichte und Volumina transportiert und gelagert werden müssen, wobei diese Problematik vor allem bei gewerblichen Anwendern zum Tragen kommt, die entsprechend hohe Mengen an Reinigungslösung umsetzen.In many cases, the user of a spray extraction device acquires a finished cleaning solution that can be filled directly into the storage tank of the device. This makes the application very easy because the product does not have to be dissolved or diluted by the user. The disadvantage, however, is that relatively high weights and volumes must be transported and stored in this case by the water content of the cleaning solution, this problem is particularly relevant for commercial users to implement the correspondingly high amounts of cleaning solution.
Als Alternative zu fertigen Reinigungslösungen werden daher auch Feststoffmischungen angeboten, die vom Anwender zur Herstellung einer Reinigungslösung in Wasser aufgelöst werden müssen. Diese Feststoffmischungen können entweder in Form eines Pulvers oder in Form von verpressten Formkörpern (Tabs) vorliegen, wobei letztere die Dosierung der Feststoffmischung deutlich erleichtern. Zusammensetzungen dieser Art können eine Vielzahl verschiedener Komponenten enthalten, um eine möglichst gute Reinigungswirkung zu entfalten, regelmäßig umfassen sie aber zumindest die eingangs genannten Bestandteile (Komplexbildner, Tenside und Komponente zum Einkapseln von Verunreinigungen). Einige Zusammensetzungen sind aus den internationalen Patentanmeldungen
Der mindestens eine Komplexbildner in der Zusammensetzung ist insbesondere zur Markierung der Wasserhärte erforderlich, d.h. zur Komplexierung der Calcium- und Magnesiumionen im Leitungswasser, mit dem die Zusammensetzung durch den Anwender aufgelöst wird. Der Komplexbildner leistet aber auch einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Reinigungswirkung. Zusammensetzungen gemäß dem Stand der Technik enthalten als Komplexbildner insbesondere Phosphate, die zwar unter ökologischen Gesichtspunkten äußerst nachteilig sind, aber bislang noch nicht durch alternative Komplexbildner bei vergleichbarer Reinigungsleistung ersetzt werden konnten.The at least one complexing agent in the composition is particularly required for marking the water hardness, i. to complex the calcium and magnesium ions in the tap water with which the composition is dissolved by the user. The complexing agent also makes a significant contribution to the cleaning effect. Compositions according to the prior art contain as complexing agents in particular phosphates, which are extremely disadvantageous from an ecological point of view, but hitherto could not yet be replaced by alternative complexing agents with comparable cleaning performance.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zusammensetzung in Form einer Feststoffmischung zur Herstellung einer Reinigungslösung für Teppiche und Polster vorzuschlagen, die eine gute Reinigungsleistung aufweist und Komplexbildner umfasst, die keine Phosphate sind.The invention is therefore based on the object to propose a composition in the form of a solid mixture for the preparation of a cleaning solution for carpets and upholstery, which has a good cleaning performance and comprises complexing agents that are not phosphates.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei der Zusammensetzung der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Zusammensetzung als Komplexbildner Citronensäure, Natriumgluconat, Oxalsäure und Natriummetasilikat umfasst.This object is achieved in the composition of the aforementioned type according to the invention that the composition comprises as complexing agent citric acid, sodium gluconate, oxalic acid and sodium metasilicate.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass gerade durch die Kombination dieser Komplexbildner sehr gute Reinigungsergebnisse erzielt werden können, wenn eine aus der Zusammensetzung hergestellte Reinigungslösung mittels eines Sprühextraktionsgerätes zur Reinigung von Teppichen oder Polstern eingesetzt wird.It has been shown that it is precisely through the combination of these complexing agents that very good cleaning results can be achieved if one The composition prepared cleaning solution is used by means of a spray extraction device for cleaning carpets or upholstery.
Die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung umfasst vorzugsweise keine Phosphate, so dass der Einsatz ökologisch unbedenklicher ist als bei den entsprechenden Zusammensetzungen gemäß dem Stand der Technik.The composition according to the invention preferably contains no phosphates, so that the use is ecologically safer than with the corresponding compositions according to the prior art.
Die Reinigungsleistung der Zusammensetzung kann durch die Wahl der Anteile der verschiedenen Komplexbildner weiter optimiert werden. Gemäß Anspruch 1 liegt das Gewichtsverhältnis von Citronensäure und/oder Citrat zu Oxalsäure und/oder Oxalat zwischen 5:1 und 20:1. Dabei ist mit "Citronensäure und/oder Citrat" die Summe der Anteile an freier Citronensäure und/oder einem oder mehreren Salzen der Citronensäure, die in der Feststoffmischung enthalten sind, gemeint. Beim Auflösen der Zusammensetzung in Wasser stellt sich bekanntermaßen ein Gleichgewicht zwischen den unterschiedlich stark proportionierten Formen des Citratmoleküls ein, abhängig vom pH-Wert der Reinigungslösung. Entsprechendes gilt für die Formulierung "Oxalsäure und/oder Oxalat".The cleaning performance of the composition can be further optimized by choosing the proportions of the various complexing agents. According to claim 1, the weight ratio of citric acid and / or citrate to oxalic acid and / or oxalate is between 5: 1 and 20: 1. Here, by "citric acid and / or citrate" is meant the sum of the proportions of free citric acid and / or one or more salts of citric acid contained in the solid mixture. Upon dissolution of the composition in water, it is known that equilibrium is established between the differently proportioned forms of the citrate molecule, depending on the pH of the cleaning solution. The same applies to the formulation "oxalic acid and / or oxalate".
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, wenn das Gewichtsverhältnis von Oxalsäure und/oder Oxalat zu dem in der Zusammensetzung enthaltenem Silikat zwischen 1:1 und 3:1 liegt. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist das Silikat Natriummetasilikat.Furthermore, it is preferred if the weight ratio of oxalic acid and / or oxalate to the silicate contained in the composition is between 1: 1 and 3: 1. As already mentioned, the silicate is sodium metasilicate.
Gemäß Anspruch 1 umfasst die Zusammensetzung folgende Bestandteile:
- 10 bis 30 Gew.% Citronensäure,
- optional bis zu 10 Gew.% Trinatriumcitrat,
- 4 bis 6 Gew.% Natriumgluconat,
- 1 bis 3 Gew.% Oxalsäure,
- 0,5 bis 1,5 Gew.% Natriummetasilikat.
- 10 to 30% by weight of citric acid,
- optionally up to 10% by weight of trisodium citrate,
- 4 to 6% by weight sodium gluconate,
- 1 to 3% by weight of oxalic acid,
- 0.5 to 1.5% by weight of sodium metasilicate.
Der Anteil aller Komplexbildner in der Feststoffmischung liegt im Bereich bis 40 Gew.%, insbesondere im Bereich von 20 bis 30 Gew.%.The proportion of all complexing agents in the solid mixture is in the range of up to 40% by weight, in particular in the range of 20 to 30% by weight.
Ein weiterer Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung ist die mindestens eine Komponente zum Einkapseln von Verunreinigungen. Solche Komponenten binden die Verunreinigungen und erleichtern deren spätere Entfernung, d.h. insbesondere deren Absaugen mit Hilfe des Sprühextraktionsgerätes. Gemäß anspruch 1 umfasst die Zusammensetzung als Komponente zum Einkapseln von Verunreinigungen eine Polyacrysäure oder deren Salz, insbesondere deren Natriumsalz.Another component of the composition according to the invention is the at least one component for encapsulating impurities. Such components bind the impurities and facilitate their subsequent removal, i. in particular their suction with the aid of the spray extraction device. According to claim 1, the composition comprises, as a component for encapsulating impurities, a polyacrylic acid or its salt, in particular its sodium salt.
Als besonders vorteilhaft haben sich Polyacrysäuren bzw. deren Salze erwiesen, die ein Molekulargewicht im Bereich von 3.000 bis 5.000 g/mol aufweisen. Der Anteil an Polyacrylsäure oder deren Salz liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von 2,5 bis 3,5 Gew.%.Polyacrilic acids or salts thereof which have a molecular weight in the range from 3,000 to 5,000 g / mol have proved to be particularly advantageous. The proportion of polyacrylic acid or its salt is preferably in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 wt.%.
Als Tensid umfasst die Zusammensetzung günstigerweise ein oder mehrere nicht-ionische Tenside. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich die Verwendung von einem oder mehreren Polyalkylenglycolethern als nicht-ionische Tenside erwiesen, diese werden auch als Fettalkoholethoxylate bezeichnet.As a surfactant, the composition desirably comprises one or more nonionic surfactants. The use of one or more polyalkylene glycol ethers as nonionic surfactants has proven particularly advantageous, these are also referred to as fatty alcohol ethoxylates.
Daneben kann die Zusammensetzung natürlich auch noch weitere Tenside, z.B. anionische oder amphotere Tenside, umfassen.In addition, the composition may of course also comprise other surfactants, for example anionic or amphoteric surfactants.
Günstig ist es, wenn die Zusammensetzung ferner mindestens eine geruchsabsorbierende Komponente umfasst. Dadurch kann neben der eigentlichen Reinigungswirkung ein weiterer vorteilhafter Effekt bei der Behandlung von Teppichen oder Polstern erzielt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Verwendung von Zinkricinoleat als geruchsabsorbierende Komponente.It is favorable if the composition further comprises at least one odor-absorbing component. This can be achieved in addition to the actual cleaning effect, another beneficial effect in the treatment of carpets or upholstery. Particularly advantageous is the use of zinc ricinoleate as an odor-absorbing component.
Als weitere vorteilhafte Komponente kann die Zusammensetzung ein oder mehrere Sprengmittel umfassen. Hierbei handelt es sich um besonders gut wasserlösliche Substanzen, die die Auflösung der Feststoffmischung erleichtern und beschleunigen. Bevorzugt umfasst die Zusammensetzung Natriumcarbonat und/oder Natriumhydrogencarbonat als Sprengmittel.As a further advantageous component, the composition may comprise one or more disintegrating agents. These are particularly water-soluble substances that facilitate and accelerate the dissolution of the solid mixture. The composition preferably comprises sodium carbonate and / or sodium bicarbonate as disintegrant.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Komponente in der erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung sind Zellulosefasern. Diese verbessern die Rieselfähigkeit der Feststoffmischung und wirken einem Verklumpen entgegen, so dass die Zusammensetzung gut dosiert werden kann.Another advantageous component in the composition according to the invention are cellulose fibers. These improve the flowability of the solid mixture and counteract lumping, so that the composition can be well dosed.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung kann die Feststoffmischung entweder in Form eines Pulvers vorliegen, oder in Form eines verpressten Formkörpers, d.h. eines sogenannten Tabs. Im Fall von Tabs wird die Dosierung der Zusammensetzung für den Anwender vereinfacht, da er keine Hilfsmittel zum Abmessen einer bestimmten Pulvermenge benötigt.In the context of the present invention, the solid mixture may be present either in the form of a powder or in the form of a compressed molding, i. a so-called tab. In the case of tabs, the dosage of the composition is simplified for the user because he does not need any tools to measure a certain amount of powder.
Die qualitative und quantitative Zusammensetzung der Feststoffmischung ist sowohl bei einem Pulver als auch bei Tabs im Wesentlichen dieselbe, auch wenn bei Tabs in der Regel eine geringere Konzentration der herzustellenden Reinigungslösung vorgesehen ist. Die etwas geringere Reinigungsleistung wird im Hinblick auf die komfortablere Handhabung in Kauf genommen.The qualitative and quantitative composition of the solid mixture is substantially the same for both a powder and tabs, although tabs usually provide a lower concentration of the cleaning solution to be prepared. The slightly lower cleaning performance is accepted with regard to the more comfortable handling.
Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung bestehen aber insofern, als die Zusammensetzung in Form von Tabs typischerweise keine geruchsabsorbierende Komponente umfasst, da diese in der geringeren Dosierung kaum wirksam wäre. Außerdem umfasst die Zusammensetzung in Form von Tabs bevorzugt einen höheren Anteil an Sprengmitteln, insbesondere 40 bis 50 Gew.%, damit der verpresste Formkörper bei Kontakt mit Wasser möglichst rasch zerfällt und sich auflöst.However, differences in the composition exist in that the composition in the form of tabs typically does not comprise any odor-absorbing component, since this would hardly be effective in the lower dosage. In addition, the composition in the form of tabs is preferred a higher proportion of disintegrants, in particular 40 to 50 wt.%, So that the compressed molded body disintegrates as soon as possible upon contact with water and dissolves.
Günstig ist es, wenn der verpresste Formkörper mit einer wasserlöslichen Folie, insbesondere auf Basis von Polyvinylalkohol, umhüllt ist. Dadurch kann ein unerwünschter Hautkontakt mit den Komponenten der Zusammensetzung vermieden werden.It is advantageous if the pressed molding is coated with a water-soluble film, in particular based on polyvinyl alcohol. Thereby, an undesirable skin contact with the components of the composition can be avoided.
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ferner die Verwendung der vorstehend beschriebenen Zusammensetzung zur Herstellung einer Reinigungslösung für Teppiche und Polster, insbesondere zur Anwendung mit einem Sprühextraktionsgerät.The present invention furthermore relates to the use of the above-described composition for the production of a cleaning solution for carpets and upholstery, in particular for use with a spray extraction apparatus.
Bei der Herstellung der Reinigungslösung werden bevorzugt 3 bis 15 g der Zusammensetzung in einem Liter Wasser aufgelöst. Wie oben erwähnt, werden in der Regel eher höhere Konzentrationen (z.B. 10 g/l) gewählt, wenn die Feststoffmischung in Form eines Pulvers vorliegt, als wenn sie in Form eines verpressten Formkörpers vorliegt (dann z.B. nur 4 g/l).In the preparation of the cleaning solution, preferably 3 to 15 g of the composition is dissolved in one liter of water. As mentioned above, higher concentrations (e.g., 10 g / L) are usually chosen when the solid mixture is in the form of a powder rather than in the form of a compressed shaped article (then, for example, only 4 g / L).
Die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung kann dahingehend optimiert werden, dass sich die Feststoffmischung, sowohl im Fall eines Pulvers als auch im Fall von Tabs, relativ schnell auflöst (zum Beispiel innerhalb von 5 Minuten in kaltem Wasser und innerhalb von einer Minute in warmem Wasser). Dies kann insbesondere durch einen entsprechenden Anteil an Sprengmittel erreicht werden.The composition of the present invention can be optimized to dissolve the solid mixture relatively quickly (for example, in cold water for one minute and warm water for one minute, both in the case of a powder and in the case of tabs). This can be achieved in particular by a corresponding proportion of disintegrant.
In Abhängigkeit vom Verschmutzungsgrad kann die Reinigung mit dem Sprühextraktionsgerät mittels zweier verschiedener Methoden durchgeführt werden:
Bei der ersten Methode, die zur Behandlung von stärkeren Verschmutzungen vorgesehen ist, wird zunächst der gesamte Teppich bzw. das Polster mit der Reinigungslösung besprüht, so dass diese für einen gewissen Zeitraum einwirken kann (zum Beispiel ungefähr 5 Minuten oder die Dauer, die zum Einsprühen eines Raumes benötigt wird). Anschließend wird ein- bis zweimal sprühextrahiert (d. h. in einem Arbeitsgang wird Reinigungslösung aufgesprüht und wieder abgesaugt). Nach der Trocknung können restliche einkristallisierte und/oder eingekapselte Verschmutzungen abgesaugt werden.Depending on the degree of soiling, the cleaning with the spray extraction device can be carried out by means of two different methods:
In the first method, which is intended for the treatment of heavy soiling, the entire carpet or upholstery is first sprayed with the cleaning solution so that it acts for a certain period of time can (for example, about 5 minutes or the time required to spray a room). Then it is spray-extracted once or twice (ie cleaning solution is sprayed on in one operation and sucked off again). After drying, residual monocrystallized and / or encapsulated contaminants can be removed by suction.
Bei der zweiten Methode, die in der Regel nur für leichtere Verschmutzungen geeignet ist, wird der Teppich oder das Polster lediglich sprühextrahiert und anschließend trocknen gelassen. Einkristallisierte und/oder eingekapselte Verschmutzungen können anschließend oder bei der nächsten Unterhaltsreinigung abgesaugt werden.In the second method, which is usually only suitable for lighter soiling, the carpet or padding is merely spray-extracted and then allowed to dry. Single-crystallized and / or encapsulated contaminants may be subsequently removed by suction or at the next maintenance cleaning.
Ein abschließendes Spülen des Teppichs bzw. Polsters mit Wasser ist bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung grundsätzlich nicht erforderlich. Dadurch verkürzt sich die benötigte Trocknungszeit, die in der Regel bei etwa 12 Stunden liegt.A final rinsing of the carpet or pad with water is basically not required when using the composition according to the invention. This shortens the required drying time, which is usually around 12 hours.
Diese und weitere Vorteile der Erfindung werden anhand der nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.These and other advantages of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the following embodiments.
Es wurden sechs verschiedene Zusammensetzungen als Feststoffmischungen in Pulverform hergestellt (Beispiele 1 bis 6), deren qualitative und quantitative Zusammensetzung in der nachfolgenden Tabelle 1 angegeben ist. Beispiele 1-3 sind Vergleichsbeispiele. Beispiele 4-6 sind gemäß der Erfindung.
Aus den sechs Feststoffmischungen wurden Reinigungslösungen hergestellt, indem jeweils 10 g des Pulvers in einem Liter Wasser aufgelöst wurden.From the six solid mixtures, cleaning solutions were prepared by dissolving 10 g each of the powder in one liter of water.
Die Reinigungswirkung der Lösungen wurde gemäß folgendem Testverfahren ermittelt:
Ein Zuschnitt eines hellen Velourteppichbodens aus Kunstfasern wird in einer Verschmutzungstrommel mit einem definierten Testschmutz beaufschlagt, indem die Verschmutzungstrommel mit Stahlkugeln, Polymergranulat und 0,5 g Testschmutz nach ISO 11378-1 B.2 befüllt wird und dann 10 min mit Einsatz und anschließend weitere 20 min ohne Einsatz betrieben wird. Das verschmutzte Teppichbodenstück wird dann dreimal mit einem Staubsauger abgesaugt, um nur lose anhaftenden Schmutz zu entfernen. Vor und nach der Anschmutzung wird der Weißgrad (Maß für die Remissionsfähigkeit) mit einem Weißgrad-Messgerät (Elrepho) bestimmt. Die gemessenen Werte dienen als Referenzwerte für die spätere Berechnung der Reinigungsintensität.The cleaning effect of the solutions was determined according to the following test procedure:
A blank of a bright suede carpet made of synthetic fibers is applied in a dirt drum with a defined test dirt by the dirt drum is filled with steel balls, polymer granules and 0.5 g of test debris according to ISO 11378-1 B.2 and then 10 min with use and then another 20 min is operated without use. The soiled carpet piece is then vacuumed three times with a vacuum cleaner to remove only loosely adhering dirt. Before and after soiling, the whiteness (measure of reflectance) is determined with a whiteness gauge (Elrepho). The measured values serve as reference values for the later calculation of the cleaning intensity.
Für die Beispiele 1 bis 4 wurde in diesem Fall ein "Testschmutz A" verwendet und für die Beispiele 5 und 6 ein intensiverer "Testschmutz B" mit Zement- und Torfanteilen.For Examples 1 to 4, a "Test soil A" was used in this case and for Examples 5 and 6 a more intensive "Test soil B" with cement and peat contents.
Die Reinigung der verschmutzten Teppichbodenstücke wird mit dem Sprühextraktionsgerät "Puzzi 100" (Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG) durchgeführt. Dabei wird die Testfläche im Fall der Beispiele 1 bis 4 zunächst zweimal sprühend überfahren und der Teppichboden mit der jeweiligen Reinigungslösung gesättigt. Nach einer Einwirkzeit von 5 min wird der Teppichboden zweimal mit der Reinigungslösung gewaschen und diese gleich wieder abgesaugt, anschließend wird zweimal nur gesaugt. Dann wird der Teppichboden zweimal mit Wasser gespült, zweimal abgesaugt und schließlich für 24 Stunden getrocknet.The cleaning of the soiled carpet pieces is carried out with the spray extraction device "Puzzi 100" (Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG). In the case of Examples 1 to 4, the test surface is first run over twice sprayed and the carpet saturated with the respective cleaning solution. After a contact time of 5 minutes, the carpet is washed twice with the cleaning solution and this immediately sucked off again, then twice only sucked. Then the carpet is rinsed twice with water, vacuumed twice and finally dried for 24 hours.
Im Fall der Beispiele 5 und 6 wird die Testfläche lediglich einmal mit der Reinigungslösung besprüht. Nach einer Einwirkzeit von 5 min wird der Teppichboden zweimal mit Wasser gespült und abgesaugt und für 24 Stunden getrocknet.In the case of Examples 5 and 6, the test area is sprayed only once with the cleaning solution. After a contact time of 5 min, the Carpet twice rinsed with water and vacuumed and dried for 24 hours.
Nach der beschriebenen Reinigung des Teppichbodenstückes wird erneut der Weißgrad gemessen und die Reinigungsintensität gemäß folgender Formel berechnet:
Die Reinigungsintensitäten, die mit den Zusammensetzungen gemäß dem Beispielen 1 bis 6 erzielt wurden, ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Tabelle 2.
Bei den Ergebnissen ist zu beachten, dass die Reinigungsintensitäten bei den Beispielen 5 und 6 nicht direkt mit denjenigen bei den Beispielen 1 bis 4 zu vergleichen sind, da hier ein anderer Testschmutz und eine andere Reinigungsmethode verwendet wurde (Testschmutz B enthält im Gegensatz zu Testschmutz A Zement- und Torfanteile). Die Reinigungsintensitäten sind daher generell niedriger, wobei auch ein Wert von ca. 35% wie beim Beispiel 6 bereits akzeptabel ist.It should be noted in the results that the cleaning intensities in Examples 5 and 6 are not directly comparable to those in Examples 1 to 4, since a different test soil and a different cleaning method were used here (Test soil B contains A unlike Test soil) Cement and peat parts). The cleaning intensities are therefore generally lower, with a value of about 35% as in example 6 is already acceptable.
Ein Vergleich der Beispiele 1 und 2 zeigt insbesondere, dass die Verwendung von Natriummetasilikat als Komplexbildner im Vergleich zu einem Natriumschichtsilikat zu einer Verbesserung der Reinigungsintensität führt.A comparison of Examples 1 and 2 shows, in particular, that the use of sodium metasilicate as complexing agent leads to an improvement in the cleaning intensity compared to a sodium layer silicate.
Ein Vergleich der Beispiele 3 und 4 zeigt insbesondere, dass der Zusatz von Polyacrylsäure als Komponente zum Einkapseln von Verunreinigungen die Reinigungsintensität der Zusammensetzung weiter verbessert.A comparison of Examples 3 and 4 shows, in particular, that the addition of polyacrylic acid as a component for encapsulating impurities further improves the cleaning intensity of the composition.
Ein Vergleich der Beispiele 5 und 6 zeigt insbesondere, dass die Reinigungsintensität durch das zusätzliche nicht-ionische Tensid (Berol 260) verbessert werden kann. Außerdem zeigt die Verwendung der jeweiligen Komplexbildner, dass statt einer Kombination von Citronensäure und Trinatriumcitrat auch lediglich Citronensäure eingesetzt werden kann.A comparison of Examples 5 and 6 shows in particular that the cleaning intensity can be improved by the additional nonionic surfactant (Berol 260). In addition, the use of the respective complexing agents shows that instead of a combination of citric acid and trisodium citrate only citric acid can be used.
Es wurden drei verschiedene Zusammensetzungen in Form von Feststoffmischungen hergestellt (Beispiele 7 bis 9), die zur Herstellung von verpressten Formkörpern (Tabs) geeignet sind. Die qualitative und quantitative Zusammensetzung dieser Feststoffmischungen ist in der nachfolgenden Tabelle 3 angegeben.
Aus den drei Zusammensetzungen gemäß den Beispielen 7 bis 9 wurden Reinigungslösungen hergestellt, indem jeweils 4 g der Feststoffmischung in einem Liter Wasser aufgelöst wurden (entsprechend der Auflösung eines verpressten Formkörpers mit 16 g in 4 Litern Wasser).From the three compositions according to Examples 7 to 9, cleaning solutions were prepared by dissolving 4 g each of the solid mixture in one liter of water (corresponding to the dissolution of a compressed 16 g body in 4 liters of water).
Die Bestimmung der Reinigungsintensität wurde mit demselben Testverfahren wie bei den Beispielen 1 bis 6 durchgeführt, wobei für die Beispiele 7 bis 9 jeweils der Testschmutz B mit Zement- und Torfanteilen verwendet wurde. Die Ergebnisse sind in der nachfolgenden Tabelle 4 dargestellt.
Ein Vergleich dieser Ergebnisse zeigt, dass die erzielte Reinigungsleistung durch die Anteile der Komplexbildner und auch der als Sprengmittel fungierenden Komponenten Natriumcarbonat und Natriumhydrogencarbonat optimiert werden kann.A comparison of these results shows that the cleaning performance achieved can be optimized by the proportions of the complexing agents and also acting as disintegrating components sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
