Definitions
- the invention is in the detergent sector and relates to mixtures of alkyl oligoglucosides of different chain lengths and their use for the production of detergents.
- Alkyl oligogiucosides are nonionic surfactants that are produced by acid acetalization of glucose or starch degradation products with primary alcohols. By choosing the process conditions, the average degree of polymerization, i.e. control the distribution of acetalized mono-, di-, tri- and oligoglucosides. If you also vary the chain length of the alcohol component or even use mixtures of different alcohols, countless types of alkyl oligoglucosides are available, which differ in their primary detergent properties - washing, emulsifying, foaming, wetting - more or less clearly.
- Alkyl oligogiucosides are characterized by a foaming power, which clearly exceeds the conventional nonionic surfactants and is more similar to the anionic surfactants. This is undoubtedly an advantage for use in the area of manual dishwashing detergents or hair shampoos, whereas in the area of detergents, the opposite behavior, namely low foam, is desired in order to prevent the washing machine from overflowing or to keep the amount of defoamer required as low as possible .
- Another problem is that the commercially available alkyl oligogiucosides, especially with regard to cosmetic soiling, show a rather average cleaning ability. This explains why alkyl oligogiucosides have so far only been used in modest amounts in detergent formulations. In this connection, reference is made to the two German patent applications DE-A1 4319699 and DE-A1 4319700, from which mild alkyl oligoglucoside mixtures with defined chain lengths and DP are known.
- the complex object of the invention was therefore to provide new alkyl oligogiucosides which, with reduced foaming, should be distinguished by improved washability, particularly in relation to cosmetic soiling.
- the invention relates to nonionic surfactant mixtures consisting of (a) alkyl oligoglucosides of the formula (I),
- R 1 represents a tetradecyl radical
- G represents a glucose radical
- p1 represents a number in the range from 1 to 3
- R 2 is a hexadecyl radical
- G is a glucose radical
- p2 is a number in the range from 1 to 3, with the proviso that the weight ratio of the two components in the range from 25:75 to 35:65 and the average degree of polymerization in Range from 1, 4 to 1, 5 is.
- the mixtures compared to conventional commercial products with reduced foaming, are distinguished by improved washing performance, in particular with regard to cosmetic soiling.
- Alkyl oligogiucosides are known nonionic surfactants which are usually prepared by acid-catalyzed acetalization of glucose or degraded starch syrup with primary alcohols; the catalyst is then neutralized and excess alcohol is distilled off.
- Representative of the extensive literature here is the review by Biermann et al. in Starch /force 45, 281 (1993), B.Salka in Cosm.Toil. 108, 89 (1993) and J.Kahre et al. in S ⁇ FW- Journal issue 8, 598 (1995).
- the DP ie the average degree of polymerization
- the index number p1 or p2 for the individual, to a certain extent, chain-pure alkyl glucosides can be in the range from 1 to 3, since in the sense of the invention it is only important that the mixture has a DP of 1.4 to 1.5 having. This can be important, for example, if the surfactant mixtures are produced by mixing the individual glucosides.
- the preparation takes place in such a way that an appropriate alcohol mixture is used in the acetalization and the reaction is controlled in such a way that the desired DP is established immediately.
- the alkyl oligogiucosides are obtained after production in the form of aqueous pastes with a solids content in the range from 30 to 50% by weight and can be used directly in this form, in particular if they are to be incorporated into liquid detergents.
- it is also possible to dewater the glucosides for example by spray drying, steam drying or simultaneous drying and granulation in a horizontal thin-film evaporator (flash dryer) or in a fluidized bed system, and then adding powder detergents as dry powders or granules.
- another object of the invention is their use for the production of detergents, in particular liquid detergents, in which they are present in amounts of 5 to 50, preferably 10 to 30 and in particular 15 to 25% by weight .-% - based on - can be included.
