Abstract

The invention relates to the use of polymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the form of methacrylic acid esters of ammonium alcohols and oligoether alcohols for the removal of unpleasant odors from textiles, hard surfaces and / or rinsing and / or washing machine interiors.

Description

The present invention relates to the use of certain copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated compounds for the removal of unpleasant odors from textiles, hard surfaces and / or rinsing or washing machine interiors.

Bad smells can often be observed in the interior of dishwashers and washing machines as well as in cleaned articles and textiles. Undesirable odors can also occur as a result of biofilm formation in the dishwasher interior, as can occur with insufficient cleaning performance. Furthermore, cleaning programs with a long drying time and high humidity can lead to bad odors. Wearing laundry can cause unpleasant odors such as sweat smell, which may not always be completely eliminated in conventional washing processes. This gives the consumer an impression of lack of freshness and hygiene, both in the machines used and on the objects to be cleaned itself. In order to counteract this impression and the bad smell, fragrances are often used; However, these cover usually only the bad smell, so that the insufficient freshness and hygiene impression is not really remedied.

In the international patent application WO 2010 / 142479A1 For example, the use of certain 2-amino-1,3-propanediols and / or substituted 2-amino-1,3-propanediols has been described to reduce off-odors caused by the presence of aldehydes and / or ketones. The reduction of bad odors, which are due to acids, thiols, sulfides, amines, aromatics, alcohols and / or heteroaromatics, by 2-amino-1,3-propanediol is known from the international patent application WO2013 / 113444 A1 known.

It has now surprisingly been found that the use of polymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the form of methacrylic acid esters of ammonium alcohols and oligoether alcohols prevents unpleasant odors on hard surfaces and textiles as well as in the dishwasher and washing machine interior and produces an outstanding freshness and hygiene impression in the consumer.

The polymers essential to the invention can be obtained by basically known radical polymerization processes. In this case, a mixture of compound of general formula (I) and compound of general formula (II) in the presence of a radical initiator, such as a bi-azo compound, a persulfate, a peroxide or a hydroperoxide, if desired in the presence of a reducing agent such as Ascorbic acid or hydroxymethylsulfinate to random copolymers. Alternatively, the monomer of the general formula (I) or the monomer of the general formula (II) can first be subjected to free-radical polymerization and then free-radically polymerized onto the monomer of the general formula (II) or the monomer of the general formula (I), such that Copolymers receives. According to the invention, preference is given to random copolymers. In the polymerization, about 0.01 wt .-% to 5 wt .-% radical initiator, based on the total amount of monomers used, is usually present.

The use according to the invention removes undesirable odors from textiles, hard surfaces and / or rinsing and washing machine interiors. This creates a pleasant smell on textiles and hard surfaces and in the machines and creates the impression of freshness and hygiene in the consumer. The polymer essential to the invention is particularly effective for removing malodorous molecules from the substance groups of the sulfides, such as dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl sulfide, thiols such as methyl mercaptan, and acids such as butyric acid, isovaleric acid, caproic acid and unsaturated short-chain carboxylic acids. Such bad-smelling molecules occur in particular in the odor of sweat, so that the removal of bad odor "sweat" is a preferred embodiment of the invention. With the spelling "sweat" is to be expressed that the bad smell is not based solely on the presence of sweat itself, but the sweat typical bad smell is known to result only by the action of microorganisms. It is particularly noteworthy that the treatment with the polymer essential to the invention not only removes bad odors already present on the textile or the hard surface, but also leads to the fact that after the treatment of the surface with the Substantially essential polymer to the surface applied substances significantly less pronounced form bad odors. The use of the polymers essential to the invention for preventing or at least reducing the formation of bad odors on textiles, hard surfaces and / or washing and / or washing machine interiors, as stated by bringing the respective surface in contact with the polymer, is therefore a further subject of the invention.

The compositions containing the polymer according to the invention or used together with it may contain one or more surfactants, in particular anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and mixtures thereof, but also cationic and / or amphoteric surfactants may be present.

As nonionic surfactants, it is possible to use all nonionic surfactants known to the person skilled in the art. The nonionic surfactants used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and on average 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol radical can be linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or linear and methyl branched May contain residues in the mixture, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten.

The degree of oligomerization x, which indicates the distribution of monoglycosides and oligoglycosides, is any number between 1 and 10; preferably x is 1.2 to 1.4.

Another class of preferred nonionic surfactants used either as the sole nonionic surfactant or in combination with other nonionic surfactants are alkoxylated, preferably ethoxylated or ethoxylated and propoxylated fatty acid alkyl esters, preferably having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain.

Nonionic surfactants of the amine oxide type, for example N-cocoalkyl-N, N-dimethylamine oxide and N-tallowalkyl-N, N-dihydroxyethylamine oxide, and the fatty acid alkanolamides can also be used. The amount of these nonionic surfactants is preferably not more than that of the ethoxylated fatty alcohols, especially not more than half thereof.

The polyhydroxy fatty acid amides are known substances which can usually be obtained by reductive amination of a reducing sugar with ammonia, an alkylamine or an alkanolamine and subsequent acylation with a fatty acid, a fatty acid alkyl ester or a fatty acid chloride. The group of polyhydroxy fatty acid amides also includes compounds of the formula

R is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radical having 7 to 12 carbon atoms, R ^{1 is} a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl radical or an aryl radical having 2 to 8 carbon atoms and R ^{2 is} a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl radical or an aryl radical or an oxyalkyl radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, with C _1-4 alkyl or phenyl radicals being preferred and [Z] being a linear polyhydroxyalkyl radical whose alkyl chain is substituted by at least two hydroxyl groups, or alkoxylated, preferably ethoxylated or propoxylated Derivatives of this residue. [Z] is preferably obtained by reductive amination of a reduced sugar, for example glucose, fructose, maltose, lactose, galactose, mannose or xylose. The N-alkoxy- or N-aryloxy-substituted compounds can be converted into the desired polyhydroxy fatty acid amides by reaction with fatty acid methyl esters in the presence of an alkoxide as catalyst.

As anionic surfactants, for example, those of the sulfonate type and sulfates are used. Preferred surfactants of the sulfonate type are C _9-13 -alkylbenzenesulfonates, olefinsulfonates, that is to say mixtures of alkene and hydroxyalkanesulfonates and also disulfonates, as are obtained, for example, from C _12-18 -monoolefins having terminal or internal double bonds by sulfonation with gaseous Sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline or acid hydrolysis of the sulfonation obtained. Also suitable are alkanesulfonates which are obtained from C _12-18 alkanes, for example by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation with subsequent hydrolysis or neutralization. Also suitable are the esters of α-sulfo fatty acids (ester sulfonates), for example the α-sulfonated methyl esters of hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids.

Further suitable anionic surfactants are sulfated fatty acid glycerol esters. Fatty acid glycerol esters are to be understood as meaning the mono-, di- and triesters and mixtures thereof, as obtained in the preparation by esterification of glycerol with 1 to 3 moles of fatty acid or in the transesterification of triglycerides with 0.3 to 2 moles of glycerol. Preferred sulfated fatty acid glycerol esters are the sulfonation products of saturated fatty acids having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, for example caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, myristic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid or behenic acid.

Alkali phosphate is the summary term for the alkali metal (especially sodium and potassium) salts of the various phosphoric acids, in which one can distinguish metaphosphoric acids (HPO ₃ ) _n and orthophosphoric H ₃ PO _{4 in} addition to high molecular weight representatives. The phosphates combine several advantages: they act as alkali carriers, prevent lime deposits on machine parts or lime incrustations in fabrics and also contribute to the cleaning performance. Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, NaH ₂ PO ₄ , exists as a dihydrate (density 1.91 gcm ^-3 , melting point 60 °) and as a monohydrate (density 2.04 gcm ^-3 ). Both salts are white, very soluble in water powders, which lose the water of crystallization on heating and at 200 ° C in pass the weakly acidic diphosphate (disodium hydrogen diphosphate, Na ₂ H ₂ P ₂ O ₇ ), at higher temperature into sodium trimetaphosphate (Na ₃ P ₃ O ₉ ) and Madrell's salt. NaH ₂ PO _{4 is} acidic; It arises when phosphoric acid is adjusted to a pH of 4.5 with sodium hydroxide solution and the mash is sprayed. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (potassium phosphate primary or monobasic potassium, potassium biphosphate, KDP), KH ₂ PO ₄ , is a white salt of density 2.33 gcm ^-3 , has a melting point of 253 ° (decomposition to form (KPO ₃ ) _x , potassium polyphosphate) and is slightly soluble in water. Disodium hydrogen phosphate (secondary sodium phosphate), Na ₂ HPO ₄ , is a colorless, very slightly water-soluble crystalline salt. It exists anhydrous and with 2 moles (density 2.066 gcm ^-3 , water loss at 95 °), 7 moles (density 1.68 gcm ^-3 , melting point 48 ° with loss of 5 H ₂ O) and 12 moles of water (density 1, 52 gcm ^-3 , melting point 35 ° with loss of 5 H ₂ O), becomes anhydrous at 100 ° C. and, on vigorous heating, passes into the diphosphate Na ₄ P ₂ O ₇ . Disodium hydrogen phosphate is prepared by neutralization of phosphoric acid with soda solution using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (secondary or dibasic potassium phosphate), K ₂ HPO ₄ , is an amorphous, white salt that is readily soluble in water. Trisodium phosphate, tertiary sodium phosphate, Na ₃ PO ₄ , are colorless crystals which have a density of 1.62 gcm ^-3 as dodecahydrate and a melting point of 73-76 ° C (decomposition), as decahydrate (corresponding to 19-20% P ₂ O ₅ ) have a melting point of 100 ° C and in anhydrous form (corresponding to 39-40% P ₂ O ₅ ) have a density of 2.536 gcm ^-3 . Trisodium phosphate is readily soluble in water under alkaline reaction and is prepared by evaporating a solution of exactly 1 mole of disodium phosphate and 1 mole of NaOH. Tripotassium phosphate (tertiary or tribasic potassium phosphate), K ₃ PO ₄ , is a white, deliquescent, granular powder of density 2.56 gcm ^-3 , has a melting point of 1340 ° and is readily soluble in water with an alkaline reaction. It arises, for example, when heating Thomasschlacke with coal and potassium sulfate. Despite the higher price, the more soluble, therefore highly effective, potassium phosphates are often preferred over corresponding sodium compounds. Tetrasodium diphosphate (sodium pyrophosphate), Na ₄ P ₂ O ₇ , exists in anhydrous form (density 2.534 gcm ^-3 , melting point 988 °, also indicated 880 °) and as decahydrate (density 1.815-1.836 gcm ^-3 , melting point 94 ° with loss of water) , For substances are colorless, in water with alkaline reaction soluble crystals. Na ₄ P ₂ O ₇ is formed on heating of disodium phosphate to> 200 ° or by reacting phosphoric acid with soda in a stoichiometric ratio and dewatering the solution by spraying. The decahydrate complexes heavy metal salts and hardness agents and therefore reduces the hardness of the water. Potassium diphosphate (potassium pyrophosphate), K ₄ P ₂ O ₇ , exists in the form of the trihydrate and is a colorless, hygroscopic powder with a density of 2.33 gcm ^-3 , which is soluble in water, the pH being 1% Solution at 25 ° 10.4. Condensation of the NaH ₂ PO ₄ or the KH ₂ PO ₄ results in higher molecular weight sodium and potassium phosphates, in which one can distinguish cyclic representatives, the sodium or potassium metaphosphates and chain types, the sodium or potassium polyphosphates. Especially for the latter, a variety of names are in use: hot or cold phosphates,

Graham's salt, Kurrolsches and Madrell's salt. All higher sodium and potassium phosphates are collectively referred to as condensed phosphates. The technically important pentasodium triphosphate, Na ₅ P ₃ O ₁₀ (sodium tripolyphosphate), is an anhydrous or with 6 H ₂ O crystallizing, non-hygroscopic, white, water-soluble salt of the general formula NaO- [P (O) (ONa) -O] _n -Na with n = 3.

In the preparation of pentasodium triphosphate, phosphoric acid is reacted with soda solution or sodium hydroxide solution in a stoichiometric ratio and the solution. drained by spraying. Similar to Graham's salt and sodium diphosphate, pentasodium triphosphate dissolves many insoluble metal compounds (including lime soaps, etc.).

There are also sodium potassium tripolyphosphates which can also be used in the context of the present invention. These arise, for example, when hydrolyzed sodium trimetaphosphate with KOH:

(NaPO ₃ ) ₃ + 2 KOH → Na ₃ K ₂ P ₃ O ₁₀ + H ₂ O

These are just like sodium tripolyphosphate, potassium tripolyphosphate or mixtures of these two applicable; It is also possible to use mixtures of sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium tripolyphosphate or mixtures of potassium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium tripolyphosphate or mixtures of sodium tripolyphosphate and potassium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium tripolyphosphate.

These include, for example, synthetic products based on fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, alkylol esters, -alkylolamides or fatty alcohols, which are usually reacted with ethylene oxide, or products based on lecithin or modified phosphoric acid ester.

Graying inhibitors have the task of keeping suspended from the hard surface and in particular from the textile fiber suspended dirt in the fleet. These are water-soluble Colloids usually organic nature suitable, for example, starch, glue, gelatin, salts of ether carboxylic acids or ether sulfonic acids of starch or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch. Also, water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are suitable for this purpose. Furthermore, other than the above-mentioned starch derivatives can be used, for example aldehyde starches. Preference is given to using cellulose ethers, such as carboxymethylcellulose (Na salt), methylcellulose, hydroxyalkylcellulose and mixed ethers, such as methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, methylcarboxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof, for example in amounts of from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the compositions.

The agents may contain optical brighteners, among these in particular derivatives of diaminostilbenedisulfonic acid or their alkali metal salts. Suitable salts are, for example, salts of 4,4'-bis (2-anilino-4-morpholino-1,3,5-triazinyl-6-amino) stilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid or compounds of similar construction which, instead of the morpholino Group carry a diethanolamino group, a methylamino group, an anilino group or a 2-methoxyethylamino group. Further, brighteners of the substituted diphenylstyrene type may be present, for example, the alkali salts of 4,4'-bis (2-sulfostyryl) -diphenyl, 4,4'-bis (4-chloro-3-sulfostyryl) -diphenyl, or 4 - (4-chlorostyryl) -4 '- (2-sulfostyryl). Mixtures of the aforementioned optical brightener can be used.

In particular when used in automatic washing or cleaning processes, it may be advantageous to add conventional foam inhibitors to the compositions. As foam inhibitors are, for example, soaps of natural or synthetic origin, which have a high proportion of C ₁₈ -C ₂₄ fatty acids. Suitable non-surfactant foam inhibitors are, for example, organopolysiloxanes and mixtures thereof with microfine, optionally silanized silica and paraffins, waxes, microcrystalline waxes and mixtures thereof with silanated silicic acid or bis-fatty acid alkylenediamides. It is also advantageous to use mixtures of various foam inhibitors, for example those of silicones, paraffins or waxes. The foam inhibitors, in particular silicone- and / or paraffin-containing foam inhibitors, are preferably bound to a granular, water-soluble or dispersible carrier substance. In particular, mixtures of paraffins and bistearylethylenediamide are preferred.

As in the means, in particular the agents in solid form, optionally contained peroxygen compounds come in particular organic peracids or pers acid salts of organic acids such as phthalimidopercaproic acid, perbenzoic acid or salts of diperdodecanedioic acid, hydrogen peroxide and under the washing conditions hydrogen peroxide-releasing inorganic salts such as perborate, percarbonate and / or persilicate, into consideration.

Hydrogen peroxide can also be produced by means of an enzymatic system, ie an oxidase and its substrate. If solid peroxygen compounds are to be used, they can be used in the form of powders or granules, which can also be enveloped in a manner known in principle. Particular preference is given to using alkali metal percarbonate, alkali metal perborate monohydrate, alkali metal perborate tetrahydrate or, in particular in liquid media, hydrogen peroxide in the form of aqueous solutions which contain from 3% by weight to 10% by weight of hydrogen peroxide. Preferably, peroxygen compounds are present in detergents in amounts of up to 50% by weight, especially from 5% to 30% by weight.

In addition, conventional bleach activators which form peroxycarboxylic acids or peroxoimidic acids under perhydrolysis conditions and / or customary bleach-activating transition metal complexes can be used. The optional, especially in amounts of 0.5 wt .-% to 6 wt .-%, present component of the bleach activators include the commonly used N- or O-acyl compounds, for example, polyacylated alkylenediamines, especially tetraacetylethylenediamine, acylated glycolurils, especially tetraacetylglycoluril, N-acylated hydantoins, hydrazides, triazoles, urazoles, diketopiperazines, sulfuryl amides and cyanurates, in addition to carboxylic anhydrides, in particular phthalic anhydride, carboxylic acid esters, especially sodium isononanoyl-phenolsulfonat, and acylated sugar derivatives, in particular pentaacetylglucose, and cationic nitrile derivatives such as trimethylammoniumacetonitrile salts. In order to avoid the interaction with the peroxygen compounds, the bleach activators may have been coated or granulated in known manner with encapsulating substances, granulated tetraacetylethylenediamine having mean particle sizes of from 0.01 mm to 0.8 mm, granulated 1.5% by means of carboxymethylcellulose. Diacetyl-2,4-dioxohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine, and / or formulated in particulate trialkylammonium acetonitrile is particularly preferred. Such bleach activators are preferably contained in detergents in amounts of up to 8% by weight, in particular from 2% by weight to 6% by weight, based in each case on the total agent.

The preparation of solid compositions presents no difficulties and can be carried out in a manner known in the art, for example by spray-drying or granulation. For producing the 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. Detergents 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.

In an also preferred embodiment, the agents, in particular in concentrated liquid form, are present as a portion in a completely or partially water-soluble coating. Portioning makes it easier for the consumer to dose.

The funds can be packed, for example, in foil bags. Pouches made of water-soluble film make it unnecessary for the consumer to tear open the packaging. In this way, a convenient dosing of a single, sized for a wash portion by inserting the bag directly into the washing machine or by throwing the bag into a certain amount of water, for example in a bucket, a bowl or hand basin, possible. The film bag surrounding the washing portion dissolves without residue when it reaches a certain temperature.

There are numerous processes in the prior art for producing water-soluble detergent portions, which are in principle also suitable for the production of agents useful in the context of the present invention. The best known methods are the tubular film processes with horizontal and vertical sealing seams. Also suitable for the production of film bags or dimensionally stable detergent portions is the thermoforming process (thermoforming process). However, the water-soluble envelopes need not necessarily consist of a film material, but can also represent dimensionally stable containers that can be obtained for example by means of an injection molding process.

Furthermore, methods for producing water-soluble capsules of polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin are known, which in principle offer the possibility to provide capsules with a high degree of filling. The methods are based on introducing the water-soluble polymer into a shaping cavity. The filling and sealing of the capsules takes place either synchronously or in successive steps, in which case the filling of the capsules takes place through a small opening in the latter case. The filling of the capsules takes place, for example, by a Befüllkeil, which is above two mutually rotating drums, which have ball half shells on its surface, is arranged. The drums carry polymer bands that cover the ball half-shell cavities. At the positions where the polymer band of one drum coincides with the polymer tape of the opposite drum, a seal takes place. In parallel, the filling material is injected into the forming capsule, wherein the injection pressure of the filling liquid presses the polymer bands in the Kugelhalbschalenkavitäten. A process for the preparation of water-soluble capsules, in which first the filling and then the sealing takes place, is based on the so-called Bottle-Pack® process. In this case, a tubular preform is guided into a two-part cavity. The cavity is closed, with the lower tube section is sealed, then the tube is inflated to form the capsule shape in the cavity, filled and finally sealed.

The shell material used for the preparation of the water-soluble portion is preferably a water-soluble polymeric thermoplastic, more preferably selected from the group (optionally partially acetalized) polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, gelatin, cellulose and derivatives thereof, starch and derivatives thereof, blends and composites, inorganic salts and mixtures of said materials, preferably hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and / or polyvinyl alcohol blends. Polyvinyl alcohols are commercially available, for example under the trademark Mowiol® (Clariant). Polyvinyl alcohols which are particularly suitable for the purposes of the present invention are, for example, Mowiol® 3-83, Mowiol® 4-88, Mowiol® 5-88, Mowiol® 8-88 and Clariant L648. The water-soluble thermoplastic used to prepare the portion may additionally optionally comprise polymers selected from the group comprising acrylic acid-containing polymers, polyacrylamides, oxazoline polymers, polystyrene sulfonates, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyethers and / or mixtures of the above polymers. Preferred is when the water-soluble thermoplastic used comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis is 70 mol% to 100 mol%, preferably 80 mol% to 90 mol%, more preferably 81 mol% to 89 mol% and especially 82 mol % to 88 mol%. It is further preferred that the water-soluble thermoplastic used comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose molecular weight is in the range from 10,000 g / mol to 100,000 g / mol, preferably from 11,000 g / mol to 90,000 g / mol, particularly preferably from 12,000 g / mol to 80 000 g / mol and in particular from 13 000 g / mol to 70 000 g / mol. It is further preferred if the thermoplastics are used in amounts of at least 50% by weight, preferably of at least 70% by weight, more preferably of at least 80% by weight and in particular of at least 90% by weight, based in each case on the weight the water-soluble polymeric thermoplastic.
