Production of fragrance-containing enamel body

The present invention relates to a process for producing fused bodies, which comprises preparing a melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier material and at least one solid in a first container; Mixing the thus-obtained melt dispersion with at least one esthetic in a subsequent container and reforming the resulting melt dispersion to obtain solid pastilles. The present invention is further directed to the fins produced by this method, to a detergent or cleaning composition containing them, to the use of such a detergent or cleaner for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces, and to corresponding processes for cleaning textiles or hard Surfaces using such a detergent or cleaning agent.

In the use of detergents and cleaners, the consumer not only aims to wash, cleanse or care for the objects to be treated, but also desires that the treated objects, e.g. Textiles, after the treatment, for example after the wash, smell pleasant. For this reason in particular, most commercially available detergents and cleaners contain fragrances.

Most of the fragrances, however, are volatile. For this reason, when using conventional washing or cleaning agents after use, especially after washing, only a small proportion of the fragrance used remains on the treated object.

As a result, often only a faint scent of the treated object, especially the laundry, goes out, which then already weaker after a short time. Thus, the pleasant feeling of freshness of the treated object disappears after a short time.

Often fragrances are used in the form of perfume pastilles either as an integral part of a washing or cleaning agent, or dosed directly into the washing drum at the beginning of a wash cycle in a separate form. In this way, the consumer can control the fragrance of the laundry to be washed by individual dosage.

Such fragrance pastilles are usually prepared from melt dispersions whose

Main component is a water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier material having a suitable melting temperature. In addition to the likewise containing fragrance components and optionally other excipients, such as detergent substances, such

Melted dispersions and solids are added, for example, to influence the viscosity of the dispersion to be processed. The production of pastilles requires the

continuous provision of such a melt dispersion.

The provision of the melt dispersion naturally occurs at temperatures above

Room temperature, wherein the absolute temperature of the melt dispersion is determined by the chemical nature of the substrate as well as by the further course of the process, for example, provided in the course of the process or just not intended use of additional heating or cooling elements.

The elevated temperature of the melt dispersion may affect the chemical integrity of the active ingredients and auxiliaries used and / or the physical integrity of the material system used, for example its storage stability.

With regard to the chemical integrity of the active ingredients and auxiliaries used, in particular those instabilities should be avoided which can be sensed by the consumer in a simple manner. These include primarily the fragrance and the color effect of the enamel body. For this reason, longer residence times of the temperature-sensitive fragrance and color component at higher temperatures, i. Temperatures according to the

Melting temperature of the support material, if possible to avoid.

In addition, particularly those process flows are desirable, which allow an uncomplicated, with little effort associated product change (different perfume, different color). Furthermore, generally larger quantities should not be sold, not

Specified goods (waste material) are avoided during product changes.

In the prior art manufacturing methods are common in which first a melt consisting of the support material and optionally solids and other constituents is produced and the melt thus obtained directly with the fragrance component and optionally further

Ingredients such as dyes, is mixed. The final melt dispersion is then formed into lozenges. In such a manufacturing method, which is described for example in the European patent EP 2 496 679 B1, but with the aforementioned disadvantages can be expected.

There is therefore still a need for an improved manufacturing method for

Enamel body pastilles, in particular perfume pastilles, which minimizes or even eliminates the disadvantages mentioned. This object has been achieved according to the invention by a method which comprises at least three separate, successive method steps, so that an uninterrupted production process is provided.

In a first aspect, the present invention is therefore directed to a method for

Production of fragrance-containing enamel bodies, comprising the following steps:

i) preparing a melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible melted carrier material having a melting temperature of> 30 ° C as a continuous phase and at least one solid as a disperse phase in a first container;

ii) mixing the melt dispersion of step i) with at least one esthetic

outside the first container; and

iii) transforming the mixture obtained in step ii) to obtain solid fused bodies.

In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a fuser made in a process as described herein.

In a further aspect, the present invention is also directed to the use of the fused bodies, prepared by a process as described herein, as fabric care agents, preferably fragrances and / or fabric softeners, for perfuming and / or conditioning fabrics.

In yet another aspect, the present invention is further directed to a laundry or cleaning composition comprising a fuser made by a process as described herein.

These and other aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a study of the following detailed description and claims. Any feature of one aspect of the invention may be employed in any other aspect of the invention. Further, it is to be understood that the examples contained herein are intended to describe and illustrate the invention, but not to limit it, and in particular that the invention is not limited to these examples.

"Fuser" as used herein refers to nonporous, fusible, water-soluble or water-dispersible solids at standard conditions (20 ° C, 1013 mbar) which are obtainable by solidification and remelting of the melts described herein.

The fusible bodies can have any shape. The shaping takes place in particular in step iii) of the described method. Preference is given to solid, particulate Shapes, such as substantially spherical, figural, scale, cuboid, cylindrical, conical, Kugelkalotten- or lens, hemispheres, disc or needle-shaped enamel bodies. For example, the fusible bodies may have a gummy-like, figurative design. Because of their packaging properties and their performance profile, hemispherical fusible bodies are particularly preferred.

Preferred enamel bodies have in any spatial direction a maximum diameter of between 4 and 15 mm, preferably between 5 and 10 mm. Especially preferred

Melt bodies are characterized by a maximum diameter of 2 to 8 mm, more preferably 4 to 6 mm. On the one hand, such enamel bodies are particularly readily soluble in water and, on the other hand, have a size that is visually appealing to the consumer.

100% hemispheric (hemispherical) particles are characterized by a height to diameter ratio of 0.5. According to the invention, those enamel bodies are also referred to as hemispherical having a height to diameter ratio of 0.25 to 0.49. Particular preference is given to enamel bodies having a height to diameter ratio of 0.35 to 0.45.

The weight of the individual enamel bodies is usually between 2 and 150 mg,

preferably between 5 to 10 mg.

"Water-soluble" as used herein means a solubility in water at 20 ° C of at least 1 g / L, preferably at least 10 g / L, more preferably at least 50 g / L.

"Water-dispersible" as used herein means that the support material can be dispersed in water at 20 ° C by known methods.

All percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified. Numeric ranges indicated in the format "from x to y" include the above values. If multiple preferred numeric ranges are specified in this format, it is understood that all ranges resulting from the combination of the various endpoints are also captured.

"At least one" as used herein refers to 1 or more, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more. In particular, this indication refers to the nature of the agent / compound rather than the absolute number of molecules. "At least one perfume" therefore means that at least one type of perfume is detected but also contains two or more different types of perfume can. The present invention is directed to a fumed body manufacturing process such as fragrance pastilles wherein a melt dispersion is prepared in an uninterrupted process sequence and reshaped in a final step. The method as described herein is characterized in that product changes, ie altered composition of the melt dispersion, for example by using a different fragrance and / or

Color component, without much effort are possible, moreover, the accumulation of unsaleable product quantities can be largely avoided. Another advantage of the method as described herein is that it can be made into the

A melt-dispersion incorporated, temperature-sensitive aesthetics have a short residence time at elevated temperatures (corresponding to the melting temperature of the particular support material) as compared to the prior art production process, whereby pastilles produced by the process as described herein have an improved color effect and / or scent show in their use.

A first subject of the present invention is therefore a process for the production of enamel bodies. According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps described below:

In a first step i), in a first container, a perfume-free melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier material and at least one solid is prepared. The water-soluble or water-dispersible molten support material used has a melting temperature of> 30 ° C., preferably> 40 ° C. and in particular> 50 ° C.

Containers which are suitable for this purpose are generally familiar to the person skilled in the art.

However, the applicability in a method as described herein is that the container permits thorough mixing of the components of the melt dispersion to be produced in step i) and further comprises at least one regulatable aperture through which the components of the melt dispersion to be produced in step i) the container can be introduced, and in addition at least one further adjustable opening through which the melt dispersion prepared in step i) can be discharged from the container. Through these openings, inlet and / or outlet stream can be controlled quantity. The first container may be, for example, a mixing unit. The constituents of the melt are heated to a temperature above the melting point of the support material, preferably to a temperature above 40 ° C, more preferably above 50 ° C. Alternatively or additionally, the carrier material can already be supplied in molten form and mixed in the first container with the at least one solid. In some embodiments, the melt dispersion is transferred from the first container into the subsequent container by pressure, so that the melt dispersion is pumped / pressed from the first container into the subsequent container. Such a thing

Pumping out the melt has the advantage that a largely complete, rapid transfer of the melt is ensured from one container to the next, so that as little as possible residual material, which remains as a residue in the respective outlet container, lost. The same applies to the outlet of the melt dispersion prepared in step ii). The transfer of the melt dispersion from the first into the subsequent container or from the following container for forming can also be effected directly by means of suitable mixing units.

In order to ensure a process-economic replacement of the carrier material, the melting of the carrier material can be carried out in an additional, the first container upstream container. In various embodiments, the melting of the

Carrier material in principle by heating it to a temperature which is not more than 20 ° C above the melting point of the support material. This also applies if the melting of the carrier material takes place in the first container already described. The melting can be carried out using all customary methods and devices known to the person skilled in the art. According to some embodiments, the thus melted substrate may then be transferred to the first vessel in step i) of the process step a) upstream as described herein to produce the melt dispersion of step i). It is correspondingly desirable that the first container additionally comprises at least one adjustable opening, which allows the introduction of such a melted carrier material. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized

Accordingly, characterized in that the carrier material in a step i) upstream step a) is melted.

In preparing both the melt of step i) and the melt of step ii), the individual flows (all material inlets / outlets as described herein) may optionally be measured by measuring the flow rate of the individual feed streams, i. the melt, the

Perfume stream and possibly other streams are controlled. This also allows, for example, adjust the proportions of the individual components.

The inventive method is preferably characterized in that the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is transferred from the first container directly into the subsequent container.

The production process according to the invention is a sequential one

Process sequence. A process sequence as described herein may be continuous or as well Batch process, with a continuous process is preferred. The continuous process management makes it possible to change the amount or chemical nature of the esthetics used during operation, for example to stop the supply of perfume in step ii) and to switch the production to an alternative process product. Due to the late-stage metering of the esthetics in step ii), the residual amounts of such a change by the subsequent melt dispersion only from a part of the

Production plant (the part of the dosing station for the Aesthetic subsequent part of the

Production plant) are rinsed out. The corresponding lead, which contains an undesirable mixture of several esthetics or an incorrect concentration of the desired esthetics, can be discarded or recycled as a blending material (in step i) or ii).

As already mentioned, an advantage of the method as described herein is that production changes are made possible without great expense. Due to the sequential process flow, the components to be supplied in the individual process steps, i. Carrier material, solid, dye, perfume and possibly other ingredients, as far as possible to be exchanged separately for alternatives, without the entire

Production process must come to a standstill. In addition, in this way the accumulation of large quantities of unsuitable product quantities can be avoided. If, for example, a fragrance and / or dye change take place, the supply of the fragrance and / or dye is first stopped and the melt dispersion prepared in step i) further transferred from the first container in the second container and forwarded from this for forming. As a result, the system is "flushed" with the fragrance and / or dye-free melt, as it were, and fragrance and / or dye residues are removed. The resulting blend can be recycled later in a reuse of the same fragrance and / or dye in the process. Subsequently, another dye and / or fragrance can be supplied, wherein the flow can in turn be discarded or recycled as waste material in the process. There

continuously melt is generated, the change of the fragrance and / or dye takes place, so to speak in the running process and the blending quantities are relatively low.

According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that waste material which is obtained after step ii) in step i) or ii), preferably in step i) is recycled.

In a second step ii), the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is mixed with at least one esthetic outside the first container. In this case, step ii) is preferably carried out either (1) in a container downstream of the first container or (2) directly in the outlet stream emerging from the first container. In other words, (1) the melt dispersion is transferred to a subsequent container and in this with at least or (2) the at least one esthetic is continuously mixed into the effluent stream of the first container

The admixture of the esthetics in the outlet stream of the first container can be realized, for example, by providing the pipeline through which the melt dispersion is discharged from the first container, with a supply line for the aesthetic.

The first and the subsequent container are, according to the present invention, in

Connection with each other. Via this compound, according to the present invention, the melt dispersion prepared in the first container is transferred to the subsequent container. "Subordinate" or "subsequent", as used in this context, means that the container in question, viewed from the first container, is downstream of it, ie. the volume flow from the first container passes into this subsequent container at a later process time. But it is quite possible that the exiting from the first container volume flow before other, intermediate container passes.

It is also true for the subsequent container that thorough mixing of the components introduced into the container must be ensured. Furthermore, the container comprises at least one adjustable opening, via which the melt dispersion prepared in step i) can be introduced into the container, at least one further adjustable opening, via which the aesthetic (and possibly other components) can be introduced into the container, as well In addition, in addition at least one adjustable opening through which the melt dispersion prepared in step ii) can be discharged from the container. Also, this container may, for example, a suitable mixing unit, such. a static mixer, his.

However, mixing may also be accomplished by continuously mixing the at least one esthetics into the effluent stream exiting the first vessel, i. without the

Necessity of a separate container. In this case, the opening through which the at least one esthetic is introduced into the melt dispersion is preferably adjustable. Although in the following the invention with reference to the mixing in a

subsequent container is described, it is understood that the described

Embodiments also to the above-described alternative of mixing in

Outflow of the first container can be transferred. In this case, the mixing volume of the subsequent container may also be the volume of the line in which the outlet stream is led out of the first container.

Aesthetic, as used herein, refers to an active or adjuvant which is temperature-sensitive at the temperature used to prepare the melt dispersion in step i), ie which is chemically or physically disintegrated at that temperature. Aesthetic, as used herein, refers more particularly to an active or adjuvant whose use in the fusible bodies is sensory by the consumer. The group of aesthetics includes in particular the fragrances and dyes.

The fragrance is preferably used in liquid form, for example as a perfume oil, solution in a suitable solvent or as a slurry of perfume capsules in a typically hydrous solvent. "Liquid" as used in this context means liquid under the conditions of use, preferably at 20 ° C liquid. However, in some embodiments, the at least one perfume is a substantially "dry", i. largely anhydrous component. According to some

Embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one perfume in the form of perfume capsules and / or perfume oils is used.

The dyes are also preferably used in liquid form, for example in the form of an aqueous solution or slurry. In addition to water, the appropriate

Dye formulations also contain organic solvents, in particular polyols.

In a third step iii), the melt dispersion obtained in step ii) is converted to obtain solid fused bodies. For example, via the above-mentioned opening, which allows the outlet of the melt dispersion produced in step ii) from the following container, the produced melt is fed to the forming.

The transformation of the melt obtained after step ii) can be carried out by customary shaping processes. Suitable methods of forming are known to those skilled in the art and involve cooling the melt to a temperature which is below the melting temperature of the support material, so that the melt solidifies and / or then obtains its final shape. Examples include pastillation, dropping, melt extrusion, prilling methods and others. According to preferred embodiments, the deformation in step iii) takes place by means of a cooling belt.

With particular preference, the production of the fusible bodies by pastillation takes place. A corresponding preferred method comprises the following steps:

ii) mixing the melt dispersion of step i) with at least one esthetic

outside the first container, preferably by (1) the melt dispersion into a subsequent container is transferred and mixed therein with at least one aesthetic, more preferably, by (2) the at least one esthetics is continuously added to the outlet stream of the first container;

iii) applying drops of the resulting mixture to a steel strip by means of a drop former having a rotating, perforated outer drum

iv) solidifying the drops of the mixture on the steel strip into solid fusible bodies.

In a preferred embodiment, the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is discharged by means of a pipeline from the first container and fed to the drop former. In this case, it is further preferred that the at least one esthetic be continuously introduced into the outflow stream of the first container by means of a further pipeline from a corresponding storage container. For this purpose, in particular, a liquid preparation of the aesthetics, for example in the form of a solution. The temperature of the esthetic or the liquid

Preparation of the esthetics is preferably at least 10 ° C., preferably at least 20 ° C., and in particular at least 30 ° C. below the temperature of the melt dispersion forming the outlet stream, prior to introduction into the outlet stream of the first container.

It is further preferred, after the introduction of the esthetic into the melt dispersion, to mix the resulting mixture in the pipeline. Preferably, the mixing takes place by means of a static mixer, which in the pipeline in the flow direction of

Melt dispersion is located behind the entry point of the Aesthetic and before the point of entry of the mixture into the drop former.

The length of the mounted in the pipeline static mixer in the flow direction of

Melt dispersion is preferably at least 10 times, preferably at least 20 times and in particular at least 50 times the diameter of the pipeline.

To ensure optimum mixing of the melt dispersion and the aesthetics, the distance between the end of the static mixer and the point of entry of the pipeline into the drop former is less than 500 times, preferably less than 200 times and in particular less than 100 times the diameter of the pipeline.

The diameter of the pipeline whose internal diameter is considered without taking into account the wall thickness.

From the pipeline, the mixture of melt dispersion and aesthetics enters the

Drop former with rotating, perforated outer drum. The portion of the tubing that is within the drum of the drop former is referred to below as a supply channel for distinction from the previous tubing. The feed channel extends

preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 90% and

in particular over 100% of the length of the drum of the drop former. The introduced into the feed channel mixture exits from the feed channel preferably located at the bottom of the feed channel bores from the feed channel on a distributor or nozzle bar, which in turn rests against the inside of the rotating, perforated outer drum. The mixture passes through the distributor or nozzle bar and is subsequently discharged from the holes of the rotating outer drum to a steel band located below these holes. The distance between the outside of the rotating perforated outer drum and the surface of the steel strip is preferably between 5 and 20 mm.

To further improve the mixing of the melt dispersion and the aesthetics and to prevent or minimize sedimentation, a further mixer can be arranged in the feed channel. This is preferably a dynamic mixer, for example a helix arranged rotatably within the feed channel.

To minimize the temperature load on the esthetic, the residence time of the

Mixture of melt dispersion and aesthetics in the pipeline to the outlet from the rotating, perforated outer drum of the drop former preferably less than 20 seconds, more preferably less than 10 seconds and in particular between 0.5 and 5 seconds.

The viscosity (Texas Instruments AR-G2 rheometer plate / plate, 4cm diameter, 1100pm column, shear rate 10/1 sec) of the mixture as it exits the rotating, perforated

External drum is preferably between 1000 and 10000 mPas.

On the steel strip, the droplets of the mixture discharged from the drop former are solidified into solid melt bodies. The period of time between the dropping of the mixture on the steel strip and the complete solidification of the mixture is preferably between 5 and 60 seconds, more preferably between 10 and 50 seconds and in particular between 20 and 40 seconds.

The solidification of the mixture is preferably supported by a cooling and

accelerated. The cooling of the drops applied to the steel strip can be direct or indirect. As direct cooling, for example, cooling by means of cold air can be used. Preferably, however, the indirect cooling of the drops by cooling the underside of the steel strip by means of cold water.

The carrier material suitable for use in a method as described herein may be any carrier material commonly used in the art for the purposes of making perfume pastilles. For example, the at least one carrier material may be a water-soluble or water-dispersible

Carrier polymer, the specified melting temperature of> 30 ° C, in particular> 40 ° C. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one carrier material is selected from water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier polymers having a melting point of> 30 ° C to 250 ° C, preferably> 40 ° C to 150 ° C, preferably selected from polyalkylene glycols , particularly preferably polyethylene glycol.

In various embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is characterized in that it has a melting point of 48 ° C to 120 ° C, preferably from 48 ° C to 80 ° C. "Water-soluble", and "wasserdipsergierbar" have the meanings given above.

In various preferred embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is selected from polyalkylene glycols.

In the context of the present invention, those polyalkylene glycols are suitable which have an average molecular weight (M _n ) of> 1000 g / mol, in particular> 1500 g / mol, preferably an average molecular weight of between 3,000 and 15,000, more preferably an average molecular weight of between 4,000 and 13,000 , more preferably, have an average molecular weight between 4,000 and 6,000, 6,000 and 8,000 or 9,000 and 12,000, and most preferably from about 4,000 or about 6,000 g / mole.

If, in the context of this application, "average molecular weight of

Polyalkylenglykolen "is spoken, then these data each relate to the number average molecular weights (M _n ), which are calculated from the OH number measured in accordance with DIN 53240-1: 2012-07.

According to the present invention, in particular those polyalkyl glycols are suitable which have a melting point between 40 ° C and 90 ° C, in particular in the range of 45 to 70 ° C. Examples of polyalkylene glycols useful in the context of the present invention are polypropylene glycol and polyethylene glycol.

In some embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is preferably polyethylene glycol.

In some embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight (M _n) of> 1500 g / mol, preferably an average molecular weight from 3000 to 15,000, more preferably having an average molecular weight from 4000 to 13,000, more preferably has an average molecular weight between 4,000 and 6,000, 6,000 and 8,000 or 9,000 and 12,000, and most preferably from about 4,000 or about 6,000 g / mol. In some embodiments, it is clear such polyethylene glycol having a melting point in the range of 45 to 70 ° C, preferably 50 to 65 ° C, more preferably 50 to 60 ° C. "About" or "approximately" as used herein in connection with a numerical value means the numerical value ± 10%, preferably ± 5%. A molecular weight of about 6000 g / mol thus means 5400-6600 g / mol, preferably 5700-6300 g / mol.

In various embodiments, the at least one carrier polymer is employed in an amount such that the resulting fusible body, i. the perfume pastille contains from 30 to 95% by weight, preferably from 35 to 85% by weight, for example 40 to 80 or 40 to 78% by weight, based on the total weight of the fusible body of the carrier polymer.

As an alternative to the polymeric support materials described above, specific carrier salts may also be used. These specific salts are, in particular, water-containing salts whose partial pressure of water vapor at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100 ° C. corresponds to the hhO partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt.

The fuser as described herein is prepared from a solution of the carrier material in the water / water of crystallization contained in the composition, and for such a solution, the term "melt" is also used to refer to the state to designate, in which the carrier material dissolves by the elimination of water in its own water of crystallization and thus forms a liquid. The term "melt" as used herein thus refers to the liquid state of the composition which results when the temperature is exceeded at which the support material splits off water of crystallization and then dissolves in the water contained in the composition. The corresponding dispersion containing the herein described (solid) substances dispersed in the melt of the carrier material is thus also the subject of the invention. So if in the

Reference is made below to the solid, particulate composition, and the corresponding melt / melt dispersion from which it is obtainable is always included. Since these do not differ in composition except for the state of matter, the terms are used interchangeably herein.

A preferred support material is characterized in that it is selected from hydrous salts whose water vapor partial pressure at a temperature in the range of 30 to 100 ° C corresponds to the FLO partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt at the same temperature. This results in the corresponding hydrous salt, also referred to herein as a "hydrate", reaching or exceeding that temperature in its own state

Water of crystallization dissolves and thereby passes from a solid to a liquid state of matter. Preferably, the support materials according to the invention exhibit this behavior in a Temperature in the range of 40 to 90 ° C, more preferably between 50 and 85 ° C, even more preferably between 55 and 80 ° C.

The water-soluble carrier materials from the group of hydrous salts described above include in particular the sodium acetate trihydrate (Na (CH 3 COO) 3H 2 O), the Glauber salt (Na 2 SO 4 IOH 2 O) and the trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na 3 PO 4 12 H 2 O).

A particularly suitable hydrate is sodium acetate trihydrate (Na (CH 3 COO) 3H 2 O), since it dissolves in its own water of crystallization in the particularly preferred temperature range of 55 to 80 ° C, concretely at about 58 ° C. The sodium acetate trihydrate can be used directly as such, but it is alternatively possible to use anhydrous sodium acetate in combination with free water, the trihydrate then forming in situ. In such embodiments, the amount of water used is in less than or more than stoichiometric amount, based on the amount necessary to convert all the sodium acetate to sodium acetate trihydrate, preferably in an amount of at least 60% by weight, preferably at least 70% by weight %, more preferably at least 80%, most preferably 90%, 100% or more by weight of the amount theoretically required to convert all the sodium acetate to sodium acetate trihydrate (Na (CH 3 COO ) 3H2O). Particularly preferred is the superstoichiometric use of water. Based on the invention

Compositions means that when (anhydrous) sodium acetate is used alone or in combination with a hydrate thereof, preferably the trihydrate, water is also used, the amount of water being at least equal to the amount stoichiometrically necessary to ensure that at least 60% by weight of the

Total amount of sodium acetate and its hydrates, preferably at least 70 wt .-%, more preferably at least 80 wt .-%, even more preferably at least 90 wt .-%, most preferably at least 100 wt .-%, in the form of sodium acetate trihydrate is present. As already described above, it is particularly preferred that the amount of water exceeds the amount that would theoretically be necessary to convert all of the sodium acetate to the corresponding trihydrate. This means, for example, that a composition containing 50% by weight of anhydrous sodium acetate and no hydrate thereof, at least 19.8% by weight of water (60% of 33% by weight, which would theoretically be necessary to remove all of the sodium acetate into the trihydrate).

All of the embodiments described below can be explicitly combined with both of the aforementioned alternatives.

In various embodiments, the at least one support material from the group of hydrous salts whose water vapor partial pressure at a temperature in the range of 30 to 100 ° C, the H ₂ 0 partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt at the same temperature corresponds, when used in an amount, that the resulting fusible body, from 30 to 95 wt .-%, preferably from 40 to 90 wt .-%, for example 45 to 90 wt .-%, based on the total weight of the fusible body, of the carrier material ,

The two particularly preferred support materials are polyethylene glycol and sodium acetate.

A first particularly preferred method comprises the following steps:

i) preparing a melt dispersion comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible molten polyethylene glycol having a melting temperature of> 30 ° C as a continuous phase and at least one solid as a disperse phase in a first container;

ii) mixing the melt dispersion of step i) with at least one esthetic

outside the first container, preferably by (1) transferring the melt dispersion into a subsequent container and mixing it in this with at least one esthetic, more preferably by (2) continuously admixing the at least one esthetics in the effluent stream of the first container;

A second particularly preferred method comprises the following steps:

i) preparing a melt dispersion comprising sodium acetate trihydrate as a continuous phase and at least one solid as a disperse phase in a first container; ii) mixing the melt dispersion of step i) with at least one esthetic

As stated, in addition to the at least one support material, the melt dispersion to be produced in step i) comprises at least one solid, for example a filler. To ensure that this at least one solid in the desired particle size is introduced into the first container, it may be advantageous if the first container for this purpose is preceded by at least one screening device, which passes through the at least one solid before entering the first container is introduced. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one Solid in a step i) step b) passes through at least one screening device. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the at least one solid is selected from the group consisting of

Polysaccharides, such as starch, in particular maize starch, silicic acids, such as pyrogenic silicic acid, silicates, in particular alkali metal silicates, sulphates, in particular alkali metal sulphates, such as

Sodium sulfate, phosphates, especially alkali metal phosphates, such as pentasodium or

Pentakaliumtriphosphat, halides and carbonates, especially alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate.

The at least one solid may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 30% by weight, preferably 1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the fused bodies. The at least one solid has a melting temperature which is above the melting temperature of the

Carrier material and the temperature prevailing in the described method is so as to provide a melt dispersion.

As also previously noted, another advantage of the method as described herein is that the aesthetics employed have a relatively short residence time at elevated temperatures, i.e., temperatures corresponding to those of the present invention

Melting temperature of the respective carrier material has. Since the fragrance and color component is temperature sensitive, a low residence time at elevated temperatures can improve the fragrance and color quality of said component, thereby providing a superior end product. According to the present method, this advantage is ensured by the fragrance and / or color component comes into contact with the molten material only immediately before the forming.

According to some embodiments, the method described herein is further characterized in that by mixing the subsequent container or conduit in which the melt dispersion prepared in step i) is mixed with the at least one esthetic (and optionally further components) has comparatively small capacity. In this way, in the case of a plant standstill, only relatively small amounts of fragrance are temperature damaged by excessively long residence at elevated temperatures and consequently only small amounts of waste material are formed. In particular, the following container used in step ii), as described herein, has a comparatively low content

Volume volume, if its capacity volume is a maximum of 1500 I, preferably a maximum of 1300 I, especially a maximum of 1000 I, most preferably a maximum of 200 I measures. According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the container from step ii) is a static or dynamic mixer with a capacity of <200 l or a stirred tank with a capacity of <1200 l. Another component of the enamel bodies prepared as described herein is at least one esthetic. Preferred aesthetics are the fragrances and dyes.

A fragrance is an odor-causing chemical substance. In order to stimulate the sense of smell, the chemical substance should be at least partially redistributable in the air, i. the perfume should be at least slightly volatile at 25 ° C. If the fragrance is now very volatile, the odor intensity then quickly decreases again. However, with lower volatility the odor impression is more sustainable, i. he does not disappear so fast. In one embodiment, therefore, the perfume has a melting point in the range of -100 ° C to 100 ° C, preferably from -80 ° C to 80 ° C, more preferably from -20 ° C to 50 ° C, especially of 30 ° C to 20 ° C. In a further embodiment, the perfume has a boiling point ranging from 25 ° C to 400 ° C, preferably from 50 ° C to 380 ° C, more preferably from 75 ° C to 350 ° C, especially from 100 ° C to 330 ° C is located.

Overall, a chemical substance should not exceed a certain molecular weight to act as a fragrance, since too high molecular weight, the required volatility can no longer be ensured. In one embodiment, the fragrance has a molecular weight of 40 to 700 g / mol, more preferably 60 to 400 g / mol.

The smell of a fragrance is perceived by most people as pleasant and often corresponds to the smell of, for example, flowers, fruits, spices, bark, resin, leaves, grasses, mosses and roots. Thus, fragrances can also be used to superimpose unpleasant odors or even to provide a non-smelling substance with a desired odor. As perfumes, individual perfume compounds, e.g. the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and type

Hydrocarbons are used.

According to some embodiments, the process described herein is characterized in that the fabric care compound is selected from fabric softening compounds, silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors,

Inlet preventer, anti-crease agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial

Active substances, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, antistatic agents, ironing auxiliaries, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents, UV absorbers and mixtures thereof.

According to some embodiments, the method described herein is characterized in that the fabric care compound is a fabric softening compound, preferably selected from polysiloxanes, fabric softening clays, cationic polymers, and mixtures thereof.

As also previously stated, in various embodiments, the melted body composition prepared as described herein may further comprise at least one fabric conditioning compound. In this context, a textile-care compound is understood to mean any compound which gives textile fabrics treated therewith a beneficial effect, such as, for example, a textile softening effect, crease resistance or the harmful or negative effects that result during cleaning and / or cleaning Conditioning and / or wearing may occur, such as fading, graying, etc., reduced.

The fabric care composition may preferably be made of fabric softening compounds, bleaches, bleach activators, enzymes, silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, wrinkle inhibitors, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobials, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, antistatic agents, ironing aids, phobizers and the like Impregnating agents, swelling and slipping agents, UV absorbers and mixtures thereof are selected.

It is particularly preferred that the fabric care compound is a fabric softening compound. It is most preferred that the fabric softening compound is selected from polysiloxanes, fabric softening clays, cationic polymers and mixtures thereof.

The use of polysiloxanes and / or cationic polymers as a fabric care compound in the fuser composition is advantageous because it not only exhibits a softening effect but also enhances the perfume impression on the wash. The use of softening clays as textile-care compound in the melted body composition is advantageous because they additionally have a water-softening effect and thus, for example, limescale deposits on the laundry can be prevented. In order to achieve optimum performance, it may be preferred that a fused article composition contains a combination of at least two textile care compounds.

When the fused-state composition prepared according to the invention contains such textile-care compounds, it is used in particular as a textile care agent or softener or as a constituent of such an agent or else as a constituent of a detergent.

Such a fabric conditioner may be in the main wash of an automatic washing or

Cleaning process can be used. The melted body composition may

for example, together with the detergent or cleaning agent in the drum or

Einspülkammer be given a washing machine. This has the advantage that no additional rinse is necessary and no unsightly deposits occur in the dispenser

Furthermore, a solid fused-state composition prepared as described herein can be used in the wash cycle of a laundry cleaning process, and thus the fabric care compound and perfume already at the beginning of the washing process for washing transport in order to develop their full potential. Furthermore, this solid fuser composition is easier and better to handle than liquid

Compositions, since no drops are left on the edge of the bottle, which in the

subsequent storage of the bottle to edges on the ground or lead to unsightly deposits in the area of the closure. The same is true in the event that some of the enamel composition is accidentally spilled during dosing. The spilled composition can also be removed easier and cleaner.
