Description

Reinigungstextil  Cleaning textile
Beschreibung description
Technisches Gebiet Technical field
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reinigungstextil, umfassend zumindest eine Lage, wobei die Lage Mikrofasern umfasst. The invention relates to a cleaning textile comprising at least one layer, the layer comprising microfibers.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Ein solches Reinigungstextil ist allgemein bekannt. Such a cleaning textile is generally known.
Das Reinigungstextil ist bedarfsweise mehrlagig ausgebildet und umfasst zum Beispiel zwei Decklagen, zwischen denen eine vergleichsweise voluminösere Zwischenlage angeordnet ist.  If necessary, the cleaning textile is constructed in several layers and comprises, for example, two cover layers, between which a comparatively voluminous intermediate layer is arranged.
Die Verwendung von Mikrofasern in Reinigungstextilien hat sich gut bewährt. Die Mikrofasern bewirken eine gute Reinigungsleistung während der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Reinigungstextils.  The use of microfibers in cleaning textiles has proven itself well. The microfibers ensure good cleaning performance during the intended use of the cleaning textile.
Dabei ist jedoch zu beachten, dass die Mikrofasern im Anschluss an die Gebrauchsdauer des Reinigungstextils in der Umwelt verbleiben und die Umwelt dadurch verschmutzen. However, it should be noted that the microfibers remain in the environment after the useful life of the cleaning textile and thus pollute the environment.
Zum Beispiel wurde festgestellt, dass die Weltmeere auch durch Plastikmüll und insbesondere durch Mikroplastik erheblich belastet sind. Über die Nahrungskette können sehr kleine Kunststoffelemente in den menschlichen Körper gelangen. For example, it was found that the world's oceans are also significantly polluted by plastic waste and especially by microplastics. Very small plastic elements can get into the human body via the food chain.
Unter Mikroplastik werden Kunststoffelemente kleiner als 5 mm verstanden, also auch Mikrofasern aus Kunststoff.  Microplastics mean plastic elements smaller than 5 mm, including microfibers made of plastic.
Darstellung der Erfindung Presentation of the invention
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Reinigungstextil der The invention has for its object a cleaning textile
vorbekannten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass es umweltfreundlich hergestellt und außerdem im Anschluss an seine Verwendung umweltschonend entsorgt werden kann. to further develop the previously known type in such a way that it can be produced in an environmentally friendly manner and can also be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner after its use.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Reinigungstextil gemäß This object is achieved according to the invention by a cleaning textile
Anspruch 1 gelöst. Claim 1 solved.
Auf vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen nehmen die auf Anspruch 1 direkt oder indirekt rückbezogenen Ansprüche Bezug.  Advantageous embodiments are referred to in the claims, which are directly or indirectly related to claim 1.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Reinigungstextil vorgesehen, umfassend zumindest eine Lage, wobei die Lage Mikrofasern umfasst, die biologisch abbaubar sind. To achieve the object, a cleaning textile is provided, comprising at least one layer, the layer comprising microfibers that are biodegradable.
Unter„biologisch abbaubar“ wird in diesem Zusammenhang Folgendes verstanden:  In this context, “biodegradable” means the following:
Materialien werden als biologisch abbaubar bezeichnet, wenn sie durch  Materials are said to be biodegradable when passed through
Mikroorganismen, bzw. Enzyme z. B. im Boden abgebaut werden. Der Abbau erfolgt im Wesentlichen durch Oxidations- und Hydrolyseprozesse zu den Spaltprodukten Wasser, Kohlendioxid und Biomasse. Microorganisms, or enzymes such. B. degraded in the ground. The degradation takes place mainly through oxidation and hydrolysis processes to the fission products water, carbon dioxide and biomass.
Biologische Abbaubarkeit bezeichnet das Vermögen organischer Chemikalien, biologisch, also durch Lebewesen (insbesondere Saprobionten) oder deren Enzyme zersetzt zu werden. Im Idealfall verläuft dieser chemische  Biodegradability refers to the ability of organic chemicals to be biodegraded, i.e. by living things (especially saprobionts) or their enzymes. Ideally, this is chemical
Metabolismus vollständig bis zur Mineralisierung, so dass die organische Verbindung bis hin zu anorganischen Stoffen wie Kohlendioxid, Sauerstoff und Ammoniak zerlegt wird, der Abbau kann aber auch bei abbaustabilen Metabolism completely until mineralization, so the organic Compound down to inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide, oxygen and ammonia is broken down, but the degradation can also with stable degradation
Transformationsprodukten stehen bleiben. Transformation products stand still.
Industriell hergestellte Chemikalien gelten als biologisch abbaubar, wenn sie durch biologischen Abbau aus der Umwelt entfernt und dem mineralischen Stoffkreislauf zugeführt werden.  Industrially manufactured chemicals are considered to be biodegradable if they are removed from the environment through biodegradation and added to the mineral cycle.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Mikrofasern aus einem nachwachsenden Rohstoff bestehen. According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the microfibers consist of a renewable raw material.
Unter einem nachwachsenden Rohstoff wird ein organischer Rohstoff verstanden, der aus land- oder forstwirtschaftlicher Produktion stammt.  A renewable raw material is an organic raw material that comes from agricultural or forestry production.
Im Zusammenhang mit dem beanspruchten Reinigungstextil gelangen nachwachsende Rohstoffe pflanzlicher Herkunft zur Anwendung. Durch die Verwendung von nachwachsenden Rohstoffen sind die Belastungen für die Umwelt oftmals bereits bei der Herstellung des Reinigungstextils minimiert. Zusammen mit der biologischen Abbaubarkeit der Mikrofasern sind die  In connection with the claimed cleaning textile, renewable raw materials of vegetable origin are used. The use of renewable raw materials often minimizes the impact on the environment during the manufacture of the cleaning textile. Together with the biodegradability of the microfibers, they are
Umweltbelastungen auch bei der späteren Entsorgung des Reinigungstextils im Anschluss an seine bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung, auf ein Minimum begrenzt. Environmental pollution is also kept to a minimum, even when the cleaning textile is subsequently disposed of after it has been used as intended.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die zumindest eine Lage als Reinigungslage ausgebildet ist und vollständig aus Mikrofasern aus einem biologisch abbaubaren und/oder nachwachsenden Rohstoff besteht. Dadurch sind die zuvor beschrieben Umweltbelastungen weitestgehend reduziert. According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one layer is designed as a cleaning layer and consists entirely of microfibers from a biodegradable and / or renewable raw material. As a result, the environmental pollution described above is largely reduced.
Als biologisch abbaubarer und nachwachsender Rohstoff kann Viskose zur Anwendung gelangen, aus dem die Mikrofasern bestehen. Viskosefasern sind Chemiefasern aus regenerierter Cellulose, wobei die Herstellung von Viskosefasern Stand der Technik ist. Viskosefasern werden zum Beispiel durch ein Nassspinnverfahren erzeugt. Viscose, from which the microfibers are made, can be used as a biodegradable and renewable raw material. Viscose fibers are man-made fibers from regenerated cellulose, the production of Viscose fibers is state of the art. For example, viscose fibers are produced by a wet spinning process.
Cellulose ist ein Hauptbestandteil pflanzlicher Zellwände, deshalb ein nachwachsender Rohstoff und in der Natur in großen Mengen verfügbar. Cellulose is a main component of plant cell walls, therefore a renewable raw material and available in large quantities in nature.
Das Ausgangsmaterial für Viskosefasern ist Zellstoff, der aus Holz von Bäumen stammt.  The raw material for viscose fibers is cellulose, which comes from wood from trees.
Neben Viskose gibt es auch andere nachwachsende Rohstoffe, die für die Herstellung von Reinigungstextilien zur Anwendung gelangen können. In addition to viscose, there are other renewable raw materials that can be used in the manufacture of cleaning textiles.
Der Rohstoff„Viskose“ ist deshalb besonders vorteilhaft, weil er stark hydrophil ist.  The raw material "viscose" is particularly advantageous because it is highly hydrophilic.
