Definitions

• the present invention relates to coated bleach activators of the quaternized aminoalkyl nitrile type.
• detergents In addition to the ingredients that are indispensable for the washing process, such as surfactants and builder materials, detergents generally contain other constituents, which can be summarized under the term washing aids and which include such different active ingredient groups as foam regulators, graying inhibitors, bleaching agents and color transfer inhibitors. Such auxiliaries also include substances which support the surfactant through the oxidative degradation of soiling on the textile or such in the liquor. The same applies analogously to cleaning agents for hard surfaces. Inorganic peroxygen compounds, in particular hydrogen peroxide and solid peroxygen compounds which dissolve in water with the liberation of hydrogen peroxide, such as sodium perborate and sodium carbonate perhydrate, have long been used as oxidizing agents for disinfection and bleaching purposes.
• oxidation effect of these substances in dilute solutions depends strongly on the temperature; For example, with HO or perborate in alkaline bleaching liquors, sufficiently quick bleaching of soiled textiles can only be achieved at temperatures above about 60 ° C. At lower temperatures, the oxidation effect of the inorganic peroxygen compounds can be improved by adding so-called bleach activators, for which numerous suggestions, especially from the substance classes of the N- or O-acyl compounds, for example multiply acylated alkylenediamines, especially tetraacetylethylenediamine, acylated glycolurils, especially tetraacetylglycoluril, N- acylated hydantoins, hydrazides, triazoles, hydrotriazines, urazoles, diketopiperazines, sulfurylamides and cyanurates, also carboxylic acid anhydrides, especially phthalic anhydride, carboxylic acid esters, especially sodium nonanoyloxy-benzenes

• Silicas which have been produced by a thermal process can be used as well as silicas produced by wet processes.
• Silica gels are colloidal silicas with elastic to firm consistency and one largely loose pore structure, which results in a high fluid absorption capacity. They can be produced by the action of mineral acids on water glass.

• Paraffin wax is generally a complex mixture of substances without a sharp melting point. For characterization, it is customary to determine its melting range by differential thermal analysis (DTA), as described in "The Analyst” 87 (1962), 420, and / or its solidification point. This is the temperature at which molten material slowly changes from the liquid to the solid state. Waxes which solidify in the range from 20 ° C. to 70 ° C. are preferably used. It should be noted that even paraffin wax mixtures that appear solid at room temperature can contain different proportions of liquid paraffin.

• Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and starch have proven to be particularly suitable.
• Gelatin is also used as a coating material with particular advantage.
• Polyvinyl alcohols are not accessible through direct polymerization processes because the necessary basic monomer vinyl alcohol does not exist. Polyvinyl alcohols are therefore obtained via polymer-analogous reactions by hydrolysis, but technically in particular by alkaline-catalyzed transesterification of polyvinyl acetates with alcohols (e.g. methanol) prepared in solution.
• alcohols e.g. methanol
• Polyvinyl alcohols which are preferably used according to the invention and are commercially available as white-yellowish powders or granules have molar masses in the range from 3000 g / mol to 320,000 g / mol, in particular 8000 g / mol to 200000 g / mol (corresponding to degrees of polymerization in Range of about 75-8000, especially about 200 to 5000).

• polyesters used as coating materials preference is given to those which impart dirt-repellent properties to the laundry fiber and which, if present during the washing process, support the dirt-removing ability of the other detergent components. These are often referred to as “soil release” agents or because of their ability to make the treated surface of the fiber dirt-repellent, “soil repellents". The same effect can also be observed when used in cleaning agents for hard surfaces. Because of their chemical similarity to polyester fibers, particularly effective and therefore preferred dirt-releasing active ingredients, but which can also have the desired effect on fabrics or surfaces made of another material, are copolyesters which contain dicarboxylic acid units, alkylene glycol units and polyalkylene glycol units.
