Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of liquid compositions with yield point, which contain one or more surfactants, and the compositions obtained therefrom.
  • Liquid, surfactant-containing compositions have become indispensable in everyday life.
  • these are personal care products such as shampoos, shower gels or bubble baths.
  • washing or cleaning agents such as household cleaners, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, floor care products, all-purpose cleaners, manual dishwashing detergents, automatic dishwashing detergents or heavy-duty detergents are included.
  • the batch process is a discontinuous production process.
  • certain quantities of starting materials are conveyed according to a predetermined recipe in a container and mixed there.
  • a reaction vessel is completely filled with the starting materials, ie the educts.
  • the reaction of the reactants with each other towards the final product takes place within the reaction vessel.
  • the reaction vessel is completely emptied and the desired formulation is filled into suitable containers for sale or optionally for storage.
  • the reaction vessel has to be prepared for the next filling. This means a thorough cleaning of the reaction vessel and optionally the lines through which the starting materials are introduced into the reaction vessel, as well as the implementation of upcoming maintenance.
  • Such a batch process has the advantage that the formulation of the recipe can still be adjusted in the reaction vessel if necessary. Replenishment of individual components are possible here. In terms of quality, this must take into account the possibility of batch tracing.
  • reaction vessel is always completely filled; that is, it will always be produced large quantities of a product.
  • a batch or batch
  • it must be processed first before another batch batch approach can be made. Is not a direct processing or filling possible, an already manufactured product must be stored outside the reaction vessel. Again, this leads to a high space requirement and the creation of additional costs.
  • liquid detergents and cleaning agents which, even after storage and transport, develop optimally at the time of use. This requires that the contents of the liquid washing and cleaning agent have neither been previously deposited or decomposed nor volatilized.
  • a concept for the incorporation of sensitive, chemically or physically incompatible as well as volatile components consists in the use of particles and in particular microcapsules in which these ingredients are trapped stable storage and transport.
  • structuring agents In order to generate a stable network in personal care, washing or cleaning agents, in which solids can be stably suspended, so-called structuring agents are often used, which usually after activation with the remaining constituents of the formulation, such as surfactants, solvents or builders are mixed together, whereby a structured product is obtained by producing a flow limit.
  • Such external structuring can be achieved, for example, by the use of structuring gums, such as xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, gellan gum, wellar gum or carrageenan or of polyarcrylate thickeners. From an aesthetic point of view, it is desirable for the agents to be transparent or at least translucent. However, the use of structuring gums often results in cloudy compositions.
  • liquid detergents which are capable of suspending particles in a size of 300 to 5000 microns, comprising at least 15 wt .-% of surfactant and 0.01 to 5 wt .-% of a polymeric gum.
  • the application contains no information as to whether the liquid detergents have yield points.
  • yield-point compositions containing activated citrus fibers as external structurants are prepared.
  • flow limits can be achieved by forming a lamellar structure of the surfactants.
  • certain amounts of surfactants, cosurfactants and inorganic salt are mixed together to change the originally micellar structure of the surfactants by means of co-surfactants and salts in a lamellar structure.
  • Corresponding structured means are for example in WO 2013/064357 A1 described in detail.
  • EP 1 466 959 A1 are flow-containing formulations having high levels of anionic surfactants described that have no polymeric thickener, but anionic and cationic surfactants in a specific, effective for generating a yield point ratio.
  • a fabric e.g. a composition according to the definition of the invention is solid when in the solid state at 25 ° C and 1013 mbar.
  • a fabric e.g. a composition according to the definition of the invention is liquid when in liquid state at 25 ° C and 1013 mbar.

  • the composition according to the invention has a yield point.
  • the yield point is understood as the shear stress (in Pa) below which a specimen exclusively or at least largely elastically deforms and above which an irreversible, plastic deformation, ie, a flow, takes place.
  • the yield strength of the liquid, surfactant-containing composition is measured using a TA-Instruments, type AR G2 absolute rotary rheometer (shear stress controlled rheometer, cone-plate measuring system with 40 mm diameter, 2 ° cone angle, 20 ° C.).
  • This is a so-called shear stress controlled rheometer.
  • the samples in the rheometer with a time-increasing shear stress ⁇ (t) are applied.

  • the compositions of the invention differ from the known compositions by their lower gas / air content and the higher density associated therewith. As a result, the lamellar structures remain stable longer. Particles in the composition do not accumulate on the surface of the composition as is usual. Thus, the compositions are well fillable without the particles floating after bottling or storage. The absence or lower proportion of gas / air ensures that the composition can be filled more precisely.
  • the composition has more surfactant per volume, so that the washing power per volume is higher than in conventional compositions.

  • the process according to the invention allows freedom from air in the product and thus improved product stability compared to processes described in the prior art.
  • a "one pass" production enables targeted uniform homogenization.
  • Investment costs can be reduced because the product formulation is based on a basic formulation that can be prepared in a simple process. This once made Basic recipe can then be used for different products. This saves the storage of batches of end products that are not immediately put on sale. This will reduce energy and production costs while increasing the capacity of existing facilities.
  • the process according to the invention is carried out during the continuous differentiation under overpressure.
  • overpressure pressure of at least 0.1 bar above atmospheric pressure is considered.
  • the overpressure prevents gases, especially air, from being introduced during differentiation of the composition.
