Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-soluble packaging comprising an agent and a water-soluble coating.
  • the invention also relates to a process for producing a water-soluble packaging.
  • 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 in the form of water-soluble packaging with liquid detergents or cleaners are becoming increasingly popular, they fulfill the one hand, the consumer's desire for simplified dosage and on the other hand more and more consumers prefer liquid detergents or cleaners.
  • Such a water-soluble bag contains an agent and a transparent, water-soluble wrapper.
  • detergents or cleaners To increase the washing or cleaning performance of detergents or cleaners they often contain one or more additives.
  • detergents in order to prevent re-release of previously released soil in finer distribution (redeposition), detergents contain so-called graying inhibitors, such as carboxymethylcellulose. Due to the low solubility of carboxymethylcellulose in liquid detergents or cleaners, turbidity occurs when incorporating carboxymethylcellulose into liquid detergents or cleaners. This leads to an aesthetically less appealing product.
  • washing or cleaning agents In order to increase or prolong the scent impression on the washing or cleaning agents treated therewith surfaces, such as textiles, for example, washing or cleaning agents contain perfume capsules. In order to achieve a homogeneous and stable distribution of the perfume capsules and thus to arrive at an aesthetically pleasing product, the detergents or cleaners contain thickeners and / or dispersants. These funds are often very expensive and show no washing or cleaning performance itself.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to further improve the attractiveness and / or functionality of such water-soluble bags.
  • a water-soluble packaging which contains an agent and a water-soluble casing, in which the water-soluble casing is at least partially colored with a coloring substance
  • the water-soluble packaging after a hereinafter described method in which the printing operation either a curing process with UV light or a drying process in which by up or over blowing tempered gas, passing through a drying oven or irradiation with infrared light in the ink or in the medium, the / which contains the coloring substance, evaporated solvent / is removed, followed, dissolved.
  • the printing either a curing process with UV light or a drying process, in which by up or over blowing tempered gas, passing through a drying oven or irradiation with infrared light in the ink or followed by solvent contained in the medium containing the coloring substance.
  • a drying process in which by up or over blowing tempered gas, passing through a drying oven or irradiation with infrared light in the ink or followed by solvent contained in the medium containing the coloring substance.
  • the use of a horizontal form-fill-seal method is particularly suitable.
  • the printing of the first water-soluble film with the coloring substance takes place before the formation of the cavity.
  • the printing of the second water-soluble film with the coloring substance takes place before closing the cavity filled with the agent.
  • a water-soluble package contains a water-soluble envelope which forms a closed structure having in its interior one or more chambers for receiving one or more agents.
  • the water-soluble coating is preferably formed by a water-soluble film material.
  • the water-soluble packaging may be dimensionally stable or deformable.
  • the water soluble package may include one or more chambers for storing one or more agents.
  • the water-soluble packaging preferably has between two and five chambers.

  • polyvinyl alcohol is usually carried out by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate, since the direct synthesis route is not possible.
  • polyvinyl alcohol copolymers which are prepared from correspondingly polyvinyl acetate copolymers. It is preferred if at least one layer of the water-soluble coating comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis makes up 70 to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and in particular 82 to 88 mol%.
  • a polymer selected from the group consisting of (meth) acrylic acid-containing (co) polymers, polyacrylamides, oxazoline polymers, polystyrenesulfonates, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyethers, polylactic acid, or mixtures of the above may be additionally used in a polyvinyl alcohol-containing film material suitable for producing the water-soluble coating Be added polymers.
  • a preferred additional polymer is polylactic acids.
  • polyvinyl alcohol copolymers include, in addition to vinyl alcohol, an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, its salt or its esters.
  • Such polyvinyl alcohol copolymers particularly preferably contain, in addition to vinyl alcohol, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylates, methacrylates or mixtures thereof.
  • the film material contains further additives.
  • the film material may contain, for example, plasticizers such as dipropylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, sorbitol, mannitol or mixtures thereof.
  • Further additives include, for example, release aids, fillers, crosslinking agents, surfactants, antioxidants, UV absorbers, antiblocking agents, anti-sticking agents or mixtures thereof.
  • the water-soluble coating is colored with a coloring substance which is, for example, a dye, a pigment, a bluing agent and / or a pearlescing agent.
  • the application of the coloring substance by means of printing has the advantage that the coloring of the water-soluble coating can be individualized, that is to say in accordance with the requirements of the respective water-soluble packaging.
  • the printing of the water-soluble coating can be done before the preparation or after the preparation of the water-soluble packaging.
  • any form of printing can be used to print the water-soluble wrapper, such as gravure, offset, screen, flexo, airbrush, inkjet or pad printing, or any combination of these printing technologies.
  • Printing by means of ink-jet printing preferably takes place since no mechanical contact with and thus no mechanical loading of the water-soluble coating occurs with this printing technology. The same applies to direct printing with piezo technology, as it also takes place without contact.
  • the printing by inkjet printing or by direct printing with piezo technology is particularly suitable for printing the water-soluble packaging.
  • Water-soluble inks are known, for example, under the trade name SunChemical Aquadestruct from SunChemical, Aqua Poly Super Opaque White QW000046 from Environmental Inks or Opta Film OPQ White WO1009656 from Water Ink Technologies Inc.

  • the printing in the form of letters, numbers, symbols, ornaments or the like respectively.
  • the water-soluble envelope may be transparent, translucent or opaque in the area that is colored.
  • the water-soluble sheath can be colored by introducing the coloring substance into the film material of the water-soluble sheath.
