Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、粉末洗浄剤組成物に関する。特に好ましくは衣料用粉末洗浄剤組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
粉末洗浄剤組成物は、消費者の利便性より、高嵩密度化や低使用量化が強く指向されている。しかし、高嵩密度粉末洗浄剤組成物は、該組成物を構成する粉末洗浄剤粒子の溶解速度が低くなる傾向があることが知られている。また、環境・エネルギー問題や経済性への対応に基づく、洗濯水の低温化、運転時間の短縮化等の近年の洗濯機の傾向は、いずれも粉末洗浄剤粒子の溶解速度の遅延の要因となり、ひいては粉末洗浄剤組成物の洗浄能力が著しく低下することから、粉末洗浄剤粒子の溶解速度の大幅な向上が切望されている。また洗濯終了時に粉末洗剤の溶け残りが衣類に残留する心配が増大することが重大な課題として挙げられる。
【0003】
従来より、炭酸塩等の水溶性アルカリ粒子の表面を被覆した粒子を配合し、水和凝集を防止し分散性を改善することで、溶解性を改善する試みがなされている(例えば、特許文献1、2参照。)。また、各種の溶解補助剤、溶解度改善剤により溶解性を改善する試みがなされている(例えば、特許文献3、4、5、6、7参照。)。また、水不溶性水膨潤性有機物を用いることで、膨潤により洗剤粒子を細かくし溶解性を改善する試みがなされている(例えば、特許文献8、9、10参照。)。しかし、これらは本来の洗浄には寄与しない成分であることが多く、高嵩密度化や低使用量化には不利である。
【0004】
一方、水不溶性キトサンは、スクラブ剤として洗浄剤に配合したり、酵素の固定化に用いて洗浄剤に配合したり、高分子ビルダーの分散性および生分解性の改善のために用いられてきた(例えば、特許文献11、12、13参照。)。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a powder cleaning composition. Particularly preferably, it relates to a powder cleaning composition for clothing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The powder detergent composition is strongly directed to increase the bulk density and reduce the amount of use for the convenience of consumers. However, it is known that a high bulk density powder detergent composition tends to have a low dissolution rate of the powder detergent particles constituting the composition. In addition, recent trends in washing machines, such as lowering the temperature of washing water and shortening of operation time based on environmental and energy issues and economic efficiency, all cause a delay in the dissolution rate of powder detergent particles. As a result, the cleaning ability of the powder detergent composition is remarkably lowered, and therefore, there is an urgent need to greatly improve the dissolution rate of the powder detergent particles. Moreover, it is mentioned as a serious problem that the concern that the undissolved powder detergent remains on the clothes at the end of washing increases.
[0003]
Conventionally, attempts have been made to improve solubility by blending particles coated with the surface of water-soluble alkali particles such as carbonates to prevent hydration and aggregation and improve dispersibility (for example, patent documents). 1 and 2). In addition, attempts have been made to improve solubility with various solubilizers and solubility improvers (see, for example, Patent Documents 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). In addition, attempts have been made to make detergent particles finer by swelling by using a water-insoluble water-swellable organic substance (see, for example, Patent Documents 8, 9, and 10). However, these are often components that do not contribute to the original cleaning, which is disadvantageous for high bulk density and low usage.
[0004]
On the other hand, water-insoluble chitosan has been used to improve the dispersibility and biodegradability of polymer builders, as a scrubbing agent, as a scrub agent, as an enzyme immobilization, as a detergent. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 11, 12, and 13).
