SOLUTION: This drying and finishing agent is retained in solid form and slowly dissolved at high temperature in a machine for washing and drying tableware, and comprises mainly a solid polyethylene glycol, a fatty acid/ polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene condensate, a polyoxyethylene/ polyoxypropylene condensate, and stearoyl monoethanolamide.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dry finish used in an automatic dishwasher / dryer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It has been known that water washed on an automatic dishwasher and dryer remains on the dishes after rinsing, and is dried from the surface of the dishes, leaving stripes and spots. I have. A rinsing agent is usually added to the rinse water to lower the surface tension of the rinse water, making it easier to cover the water over the dishes. This water remains on the dishware surface during the rinse cycle, causing visible spots on the dishware. Therefore, a solid dry finish having a relatively low dissolution rate, a low concentration and a low foaming property has been desired so as not to form the above-mentioned spots.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a solid dry finish which does not leave spots on the surface of tableware.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, there is provided a dry finish for use in a solid automatic dishwasher which melts at a high temperature, comprising a polyethylene glycol and a fatty acid polyoxygen. Technical measures are taken such that ethylene-polyoxypropylene condensate, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene condensate, and stearic acid monoethanolamide are the main components.

According to the invention of claim 2, the polyethylene glycol content is 40% or less, the fatty acid polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate is 30% or less, and the polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate is 40% or less. A technical measure is taken that stearic acid monoethanolamide is set to 4% or less.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the dry finish of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The dry finish 1 is a solid (tablet in the illustrated example) used in an automatic dishwasher and dryer, and has a configuration in which it is gradually dissolved at a high temperature.

This main component is composed of polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate of fatty acid, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate, and monoethanolamide stearate.

[0008] That is, in a preferred embodiment of the dry finish, the content of the polyethylene glycol is 40% or less,
Fatty acid polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate is set to 30% or less, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate is set to 40% or less, and stearic acid monoethanolamide is set to 4% or less, which is about 40 g. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the dry finishing agent 1 is stored in a holder 2 hung in a hollow position of an automatic dishwasher / dryer 4, and is gradually added with water at a high temperature of 60 to 70 ° C. It is designed to dissolve. In this embodiment, 40 g of the dry finishing agent can be used for washing 20 to 30 times.

In the automatic dishwasher / dryer 4, a water washing step, a washing step, and a rinsing step are sequentially performed.

In the above step, the water temperature is set so as to become higher as the water washing step, the washing step, and the rinsing step are performed, and the dry finish 1 is configured to gradually and gradually dissolve in the rinsing step. ing.

The dissolved aqueous solution uniformly covers the surface of the washed or rinsed tableware 3. Here, the dry finish 1 may also serve as a rinse. The drying finish 1 can speed up the drying of tableware and prevent water stains on tableware, glass and the like. In the present invention,
The invention is not particularly limited to the numerical values of the above-described embodiment, and the method of use is not limited either. Needless to say, various design changes can be made without changing the gist of the invention.

[0013]

As described above, the present invention comprises, as a main component, polyethylene glycol, fatty acid polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene condensate and stearic acid monoethanolamide at a high temperature. Since it is composed of a soluble solid dry finish, it can be used exclusively for automatic dishwashers and dryers to speed up the drying of dishes, prevent spots such as water spots on the dish surface, and increase shine.
