Abstract

A detergent composition for fabrics containing at least one synthetic surfactant from the group comprising anionic and nonionic surfactants and at least one builder from the group comprising condensed phosphates and phosphate substitutes, wherein at least one acylcyanamide salt anionic surfactant is present.

Description

Die Entwicklung der modernen Textilwaschmittel, deren Anfänge in den dreissiger Jahren lagen, hatte bis 1960 zu einer fast vollständigen Abkehr von den früheren üblichen Waschmitteln auf Basis Seife, Soda und Silikat geführt. An ihre Stelle traten Produkte, die gekennzeichnet waren durch einen Gehalt an a) synthetischen anionischen und nichtionischen Tensiden, b) sogenannten Gerüstsubstanzen (Builders), insbesondere Pentanatriumtriphosphat, und c) Vergrauungsinhibitoren, im allgemeinen Carboxymethylcellulose, die das Schmutztragevermögen verbesserten. Seife wurde nur noch in geringem Masse als Schaumregulator zugesetzt. Mit diesen modernen Waschmitteln wurde ohne Abfall der Primärwaschwirkung eine gegenüber den alten Mitteln deutliche Verbesserung des Sekundärwaschverhaltens erreicht, die sich insbesondere in einer Verringerung der Inkrustationen auf den Geweben bemerkbar machte.The development of modern textile detergents, which began in the 1930s, had led to an almost complete departure from the previous conventional detergents based on soap, soda and silicate. They were replaced by products which were characterized by a) synthetic anionic and nonionic surfactants, b) so-called builders, especially pentasodium triphosphate, and c) graying inhibitors, generally carboxymethyl cellulose, which improved the dirt-carrying capacity. Soap was added only to a small extent as a foam regulator. With these modern detergents, a significant improvement in the secondary washing behavior compared to the old detergents was achieved without a decrease in the primary washing action, which was particularly noticeable in a reduction in the incrustations on the fabrics.

Trotz des mit diesen Mitteln erreichten hohen Standes der Textilbehandlung war und ist man ständig bemüht, die Mittel in ihrer Qualität weiter zu verbessern und sie veränderten äusseren Gegebenheiten anzupassen. Ähnliche Bestrebungen beobachtet man auf dem gesamten Gebiet der Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel. Beispiele solcher Verbesserungen sind der Übergang von schwer biologisch abbaubaren zu schnell abbaubaren Tensiden und der Ersatz der löslichen Builder-Phosphate durch unlösliche Natrium-Aluminiumsilikate vom Type Zeolith A.Despite the high level of textile treatment achieved with these agents, efforts have always been made to further improve the quality of the agents and to adapt them to changing external conditions. Similar efforts can be observed in the entire field of detergents and cleaning agents. Examples of such improvements are the transition from poorly biodegradable to rapidly degradable surfactants and the replacement of soluble builder phosphates with insoluble sodium aluminum silicates of the zeolite A type.

Auch die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich zur Augabe gemacht, die modernen Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel weiter zu entwickeln und sie den heutigen und absehbaren zukünftigen Erfordernissen besser anzupassen. Die vordringlichen Ziele sind dabei, durch Veränderung der Tensidbasis die Verwendung von nachwachsenden Rohstoffen und solchen aus einheimischen Quellen in stärkerem Masse als bisher zu ermöglichen, die Herstellung der Mittel zu erleichtern und gleichzeitig die anwendungstechnischen Eigenschaften, insbesondere das Reinigungsvermögen und das Schmutztragevermögen der Flotte zu verbessern, sowie bei Anwendung an Geweben die Inkrustationsbildung zu reduzieren und den Griff der gewaschenen Gewebe zu verbessern.The present invention has also made it a point to further develop the modern washing and cleaning agents and to adapt them better to today's and foreseeable future requirements. The primary goals are to enable the use of renewable raw materials and those from local sources to a greater extent than before by changing the surfactant base, to facilitate the production of the agents and at the same time to improve the application properties, in particular the cleaning ability and the dirt-carrying capacity of the fleet , as well as when used on fabrics to reduce incrustation and improve the grip of the washed fabrics.

Es wurde nun gefunden, dass man diese Ziele überraschenderweise erreichen kann, wenn man in modernen Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln ein Acylcyanamidsalz mit der allgemeinen Formel in der Me Natrium oder Kalium bedeutet und R einen Alkyl- oder Alkenylrest mit 9-23 C-Atomen darstellt, der durch Hydroxyl- oder Alkoxylgruppen substituiert sein kann, als anionisches Tensid verwendet. Dies ist um so überraschender, als von der chemischen Struktur und den chemischphysikalischen Eigenschaften her dieses Tensid sehr viel stärker den Seifen ähnelt als den seit über 20 Jahren nahezu ausschliesslich verwendeten synthetischen Aniontensiden vom Sulfonat-oder Sulfattyp. Die Eignung der Acylcyanamide für moderne Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel war daher nicht zu erwarten.It has now been found that these goals can surprisingly be achieved if, in modern washing and cleaning agents, an acylcyanamide salt with the general formula in which Me is sodium or potassium and R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 9-23 carbon atoms, which can be substituted by hydroxyl or alkoxyl groups, is used as the anionic surfactant. This is all the more surprising since, from the chemical structure and the chemical-physical properties, this surfactant is much more similar to soaps than the synthetic anionic surfactants of the sulfonate or sulfate type which have been used almost exclusively for over 20 years. The suitability of the acylcyanamides for modern washing and cleaning agents was therefore not to be expected.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel für feste Werkstoffe, insbesondere für Textilien, das wenigestens ein synthetisches anionisches Tensid und wenigstens eine Gerüstsubstanz, auch Builder genannt, aus der Gruppe kondensierte Phosphate und Phosphataustauschstoffe sowie gegebenenfalls ein nichtionisches Tensid enthält und in dem der Anteil der anionischen Tenside ganz oder teilweise aus einem Acylcyanamidsalz der oben definierten Formel besteht.The present invention relates to a washing and cleaning agent for solid materials, in particular for textiles, which contains at least one synthetic anionic surfactant and at least one builder, also called builder, from the group of condensed phosphates and phosphate substitutes and, if appropriate, a nonionic surfactant and in which the Part or all of the anionic surfactants consists of an acylcyanamide salt of the formula defined above.

Acylcyanamidsalze sind als Verbindungen nicht neu; die ersten Homologen wurden 1878 von O. Mertens beschrieben [J. prakt. Chemie (2) 17, 4]. Auch auf die seifenähnlichen Eigenschaften der höheren Homologen, die sie für Netz- und Dispergiermittel geeignet machen, ist bereits 1935 in der englischen Patentschrift 428 091 hingewiesen worden.Acylcyanamide salts are not new as compounds; the first homologues were described by O. Mertens in 1878 [J. practical chemistry (2) 17, 4]. The soap-like properties of the higher homologues, which make them suitable for wetting and dispersing agents, were also mentioned in the English patent specification 428 091 in 1935.

Dagegen sind keine Veröffentlichungen bekannt geworden, aus denen die ungewöhnlich guten Effekte dieser Verbindungen in modernen Waschmitteln abgeleitet werden könnten. Die EP-A 24676, die ein Verfahren zur Textilveredelung beschreibt, umfasst zwar in einer sehr breiten Formel auch die Acylcyanamidsalze der Formel 1, nimmt aber keinen Bezug auf die Tensideigenschaften der Verbindungen oder auf Waschmittel. Die Acylcyanamidgruppierung dient im dort genannten Verfahren als reaktive Gruppe zur Fixierung von Wirkstoffen auf faserigen Materialien.On the other hand, no publications are known from which the unusually good effects of these compounds in modern detergents could be derived. EP-A 24676, which describes a process for textile finishing, also includes the acylcyanamide salts of formula 1 in a very broad formula, but makes no reference to the surfactant properties of the compounds or to detergents. In the process mentioned there, the acylcyanamide grouping serves as a reactive group for fixing active substances to fibrous materials.

Auch in der EP-A 8475, die ein Bleichverfahren und Bleichmittel mit Cyanaminen als Aktivatoren beschreibt, werden die Acylcyanamidsalze der vorliegenden Erfindung in einer weiten Formel mit erfasst. Die Cyanamine werden dort mit dem Ziel eingesetzt, Peroxidbleichmittel zu aktivieren, um auf diese Weise die Oxidationskraft der Mittel zu erhöhen; ein Hinweis auf Tensideigenschaften wird nicht gegeben.Also in EP-A 8475, which describes a bleaching process and bleaching agent with cyanamines as activators, the acylcyanamide salts of the present invention are also included in a broad formula. The cyanamines are used there with the aim of activating peroxide bleaching agents in order to increase the oxidizing power of the agents; no indication of surfactant properties is given.

Die erfindungsgemässen Acylcyanamidsalze können aus Carbonsäurederivaten und Cyanamid mit nachfolgender Neutralisation durch geeignete Basen [siehe Deutsche Patentschrift 708428 oder A.E. Kretov und A.P. Momsenko, J. org. Chem. (USSR) 1, 1765 (1965)] gewonnen werden.The acylcyanamide salts according to the invention can be obtained from carboxylic acid derivatives and cyanamide with subsequent neutralization by means of suitable bases [see German Patent 708428 or A.E. Kretov and A.P. Momsenko, J. org. Chem. (USSR) 1, 1765 (1965)].

Einfacher ist die Herstellung durch Umsetzung von Salzen des Cyanamids mit Carbonsäureestern, wie sie in der EP-A 84836 beschrieben wird. Dieses Verfahren kann auch für die Weiterverwendung der Acylcyanamidsalze in der Herstellung von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln von Vorteil sein, da es die Salze in wasserfreier Form liefert.The preparation is simpler by reacting salts of cyanamide with carboxylic acid esters, as described in EP-A 84836. This process can also be advantageous for the further use of the acylcyanamide salts in the production of detergents and cleaning agents, since it supplies the salts in anhydrous form.

Neben der leichten Herstellbarkeit besitzen die

Figure imgb0001
Acylcyanamidsalze den Vorzug, dass ihre Herstellung aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen, hier Fettsäurederivaten, und dem aus Kalkstickstoff leicht zugänglichen Cyanamid möglich ist. Damit verringert sich beim Einsatz dieser Tenside die Abhängigkeit der Waschmittelhersteller von Rohstoffen auf Erdölbasis, die z.B. bei dem heute noch wichtigsten Aniontensid Alkylbenzolsulfonat spürbar ist. Darüber hinaus sind Acylcyanamidsalze gut biologisch abbaubar und toxikologisch unbedenklich.In addition to being easy to manufacture,
Figure imgb0001
Acyl cyanamide salts have the advantage that they can be produced from renewable raw materials, here fatty acid derivatives, and from cyanamide, which is easily accessible from calcium cyanamide. When using these surfactants, the detergent manufacturers' dependence on petroleum-based raw materials is reduced, which is noticeable, for example, with the most important anionic surfactant, alkylbenzenesulfonate. In addition, acyl cyanamide salts are readily biodegradable and toxicologically safe.

Besonders günstige Eigenschaften im Hinblick auf die Ziele dieser Erfindung besitzen die Natriumsalze der Acylcyanamide, insbesondere diejenigen, bei denen der Rest R in Formel einen im wesentlichen unsubstituierten Alkyl- oder Alkenylrest mit 11-17 C-Atomen darstellt. Solche Salze können technisch leicht aus Mononatriumcyanamid und den Methylestern von natürlichen Fettsäuregemischen, wie Talgfettsäuremethylester und Palmkernfettsäuremethylester hergestellt werden.The sodium salts of acylcyanamides have particularly favorable properties with regard to the aims of this invention, in particular those in which the radical R in the formula is an essentially unsubstituted alkyl or alkenyl radical having 11-17 carbon atoms. Such salts can be easily prepared industrially from monosodium cyanamide and the methyl esters of natural fatty acid mixtures, such as tallow fatty acid methyl ester and palm kernel fatty acid methyl ester.

Die erfindungsgemässen Mittel lassen sich auf zahlreichen Gebieten der Technik und des Haushaltes für die verschiedensten Reinigungsaufgaben einsetzen. Beispiele für derartige Anwendungsgebiete sind die Reinigung von Geräten, Apparaturen, Rohrleitungen und Gefässen aus Holz, Kunststoff, Metall, Keramik, Glas usw. in der Industrie oder in gewerblichen Betrieben, das Reinigen von Möbeln, Wänden, Fussböden, von Gegenständen aus Keramik, Glas, Metall, Holz, Kunststoff, das Reinigen von polierten oder lakkierten Flächen im Haushalt usw. Ein besonders wichtiges Anwendungsgebiet ist das Waschen von Textilien aller Art in der Industrie, in gewerblichen Wäschereien und im Haushalt.The agents according to the invention can be used in numerous fields of technology and the household for a wide variety of cleaning tasks. Examples of such fields of application are the cleaning of devices, apparatus, pipelines and vessels made of wood, plastic, metal, ceramic, glass etc. in industry or in commercial companies, the cleaning of furniture, walls, floors, objects made of ceramic, glass , Metal, wood, plastic, the cleaning of polished or painted surfaces in the household etc. A particularly important area of application is the washing of all types of textiles in industry, in commercial laundries and in the household.

Als synthetische Aniontenside, die in den erfindungsgemässen Mitteln neben den Acylcyanamidsalzen vorliegen können, eignen sich insbesondere solche vom Typ der Sulfonate und Sulfate.Suitable synthetic anionic surfactants which can be present in the agents according to the invention in addition to the acylcyanamide salts are, in particular, those of the sulfonate and sulfate type.

Bei den Tensiden vom Sulfonattyp handelt es sich in erster Linie um die Alkylbenzolsulfonate mit C9-15-Alkylgruppen und die Ester von a-Sulfofettsäuren, z.B. die a-sulfonierten Methyl- oder Ethylester der hydrierten Kokos-, Palmkern- oder Talgfettsäuren. Weitere brauchbare Tenside vom Sulfonattyp sind die Alkansulfonate, die aus C12-C18-Alkanen durch Sulfochlorierung oder Sulfoxidation und anschliessende Hydrolyse bzw. Neutralisation oder durch Bisulfitaddition an Olefine erhältlich sind, sowie die Olefinsulfonate, das sind Gemische aus Alken- und Hydroxyalkansulfonaten sowie Disulfonaten, wie man sie beispielsweise aus Monoolefinen mit end- oder innenständiger Doppelbindung durch Sulfonieren mit gasförmigem Schwefeltrioxid und anschliessender alkalischer oder saurer Hydrolyse der Sulfonierungsprodukte erhält.The surfactants of the sulfonate type are primarily the alkylbenzenesulfonates with C 9-15 -alkyl groups and the esters of a-sulfofatty acids, for example the a-sulfonated methyl or ethyl esters of hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids. Other useful surfactants of the sulfonate type are the alkanesulfonates which are obtainable from C 12 -C 18 -alkanes by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation and subsequent hydrolysis or neutralization or by bisulfite addition to olefins, and the olefinsulfonates, which are mixtures of alkene and hydroxyalkanesulfonates and disulfonates as obtained for example from monoolefins with a terminal or internal double bond by sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of the sulfonation products.

Besonders geeignete Tenside vom Sulfattyp sind die Schwefelsäuremonoester von primären Alkoholen natürlichen und synthetischen Ursprungs, d.h. von Fettalkoholen, wie z .B. Kokosfettalkoholen, Talgfettalkoholen, Oleylalkohol, oder den Clo-C2O-Oxoalkoholen, und solche von sekundären Alkoholen dieser Kettenlängen. Daneben kommen die Schwefelsäuremonoester der mit 1-6 Mol Ethylenoxid ethoxylierten aliphatischen primären Alkohole bzw. ethoxylierten sekundären Alkohole bzw. Alkylphenole in Betracht. Ferner eignen sich sulfatierte Fettsäurealkanolamide und sulfatierte Fettsäuremonoglyceride.Particularly suitable surfactants of the sulfate type are the sulfuric acid monoesters of primary alcohols of natural and synthetic origin, ie of fatty alcohols such as e.g. Coconut fatty alcohols, tallow fatty alcohols, oleyl alcohol, or the C lo -C 2O oxo alcohols, and those of secondary alcohols of this chain length. In addition, the sulfuric acid monoesters of the aliphatic primary alcohols ethoxylated with 1-6 mol ethylene oxide or ethoxylated secondary alcohols or alkylphenols are suitable. Sulfated fatty acid alkanolamides and sulfated fatty acid monoglycerides are also suitable.

Alle diese anionischen Tenside werden bevorzugt in Form der Salze eingesetzt, insbesondere in Form der Natriumsalze, aber auch als Kalium-oder Ammoniumsalze oder als lösliche Salze organischer Basen, wie Mono-, Di- oderTriethanolamin.All of these anionic surfactants are preferably used in the form of the salts, in particular in the form of the sodium salts, but also as potassium or ammonium salts or as soluble salts of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine.

Besonders günstige anwendungstechnische Eigenschaften weisen solche erfindungsgemässe Mittel auf, die 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 3-15 Gew.% Acylcyanamidsalz und 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 3-15 Gew.% synthetisches anionisches Tensid aus der Gruppe Alkylbenzolsulfonate, Estersulfonate, Alkoholsulfate und deren Mischungen neben anderen üblichen Bestandteilen von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln enthalten.Agents according to the invention which have 1-30% by weight, preferably 3-15% by weight, of acyl cyanamide salt and 1-30% by weight, preferably 3-15% by weight of synthetic anionic surfactant from the group of alkylbenzenesulfonates and ester sulfonates have particularly favorable performance properties , Alcohol sulfates and mixtures thereof in addition to other common constituents of washing and cleaning agents.

Als nichtionische Tenside eignen sich für die erfindungsgemässen Mittel Anlagerungsprodukte von 1-40, vorzugsweise 2-20 Mol Ethylenoxid an 1 Mol einer aliphatischen Verbindung mit im wesentlichen 10-20 Kohlenstoffatomen aus der Gruppe der Alkohole, Alkylphenole, Carbonsäuren und Carbonsäureamide. Besonders wichtig sind die Anlagerungsprodukte von 8-20 Mol Ethylenoxid an primäre Alkohole, wie zum Beispiel Kokos- oder Talgfettalkohole, an Oleylalkohol, an Oxoalkohole der entsprechenden Kettenlängen, oder an entsprechende sekundäre Alkohole, sowie an Mono- oder Dialkylphenole mit 6-14 C-Atomen in den Alkylresten. Neben diesen wasserlöslichen Nonionics sind aber auch nicht bzw. nicht vollständig wasserlösliche Polyglykolether mit 2-7 Ethylenglykoletherresten im Molekül von Interesse, insbesondere, wenn sie zusammen mit wasserlöslichen nichtionischen oder anionischen Tensiden eingesetzt werden. Von besonderem praktischem Interesse sind wegen ihrer guten biologischen Abbaubarkeit vor allem die Ethoxylierungsprodukte von primären aliphatischen Alkanolen und Alkenolen.Suitable nonionic surfactants for the agents according to the invention are addition products of 1-40, preferably 2-20, moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of an aliphatic compound having essentially 10-20 carbon atoms from the group of alcohols, alkylphenols, carboxylic acids and carboxamides. The addition products of 8-20 moles of ethylene oxide with primary alcohols, such as coconut oil or tallow fatty alcohols, with oleyl alcohol, with oxo alcohols of the corresponding chain lengths, or with corresponding secondary alcohols, and with mono- or dialkylphenols with 6-14 C- Atoms in the alkyl radicals. In addition to these water-soluble nonionics, non-or not fully water-soluble polyglycol ethers with 2-7 ethylene glycol ether residues in the molecule are also of interest, in particular if they are used together with water-soluble nonionic or anionic surfactants. Because of their good biodegradability, the ethoxylation products of primary aliphatic alkanols and alkenols are of particular practical interest.

Typische Vertreter für die erfindungsgemäss verwendbaren nichtionischen Tenside mit einem mittleren Ethoxylierungsgrad von 2-7 sind beispielsweise die Verbindungen Kokosfettalkohol-3-EO (EO = Ethylenoxid), Talgfettalkohol-5-EO, Oleyl-/Cetylalkohol-5-EO (Jodzahl 30-50), Talgfettalkohol-7-EO, synth.-C12-C16-Fettalkohol-6-EO, C11-C15-Oxalkohol-3-EO, C14/C15-Oxoalkohol-7-EO, i-C15-C17-Alkandiol-5-EO (i = innenständig); sek.-C11-C15-Alkohol-4-EO.Typical representatives of the nonionic surfactants which can be used according to the invention and have an average degree of ethoxylation of 2-7 are, for example, the compounds coconut fatty alcohol 3-EO (EO = ethylene oxide), tallow fatty alcohol 5-EO, oleyl / cetyl alcohol 5-EO (iodine number 30-50 ), Tallow fatty alcohol 7-EO, synthetic C 12 -C 16 fatty alcohol 6-EO, C 11 -C 15 oxalcohol 3-EO, C 14 / C 15 oxo alcohol 7-EO, iC 15 - C 17 alkanediol-5-EO (i = internal); sec-C 11 -C 15 alcohol-4-EO.

Beispielhafte Vertreter für die nichtionischen Tenside mit einem mittleren Ethoxylierungsgrad von 8-20, insbesondere 9-15, sind die Verbindungen Kokosfettalkohol-12-EO, synth.-C12/C14-Fettalkohol-9-EO,Oleyl-/Cetylalkohol-10-EO,Talgfett- .alkohol-14-EO, C11-C15-Oxoalkohol-13-EO,C15-C'B-Oxoalkohol-15-EO, i-C15-C17-Alkandiol-9-EO, C14/C15-Oxalkohol-11-EO, sek.-C11-C1s-Alkohol-9-EO.Exemplary representatives of the nonionic surfactants with an average degree of ethoxylation of 8-20, in particular 9-15, are the compounds coconut fatty alcohol-12-EO, synthetic C 12 / C 14 fatty alcohol-9-EO, oleyl / cetyl alcohol-10 -EO, tallow fat. -Alcohol-14-EO, C 11 -C 15 -oxoalcohol-13-EO, C 15 -C 'B -oxoalcohol-15-EO, iC 15 -C 17 -alkanediol-9-EO, C 14 / C 15 -oxalcohol-11-EO, sec.-C 11 -C 1s -alcohol-9-EO.

Ferner sind als nichtionische Tenside die wasserlöslichen, 20-250 Ethylenglykolethergruppen und 10-100 Propylenglykolethergruppen enthaltenden Anlagerungsprodukte von Ethylenoxid an Polypropylenglykol, Alkylendiamin-poly-propylenglykol und an Alkylpolypropylenglykole mit 1-10 Kohlenstoffatomen in der Alkylkette brauchbar, in denen die Polypropylenglykolkette als hydrophober Rest fungiert.Furthermore, the non-ionic surfactants which can be used are the water-soluble adducts of ethylene oxide with 20-250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10-100 propylene glycol ether groups with polypropylene glycol, alkylenediamine-poly-propylene glycol and with alkylpolypropylene glycols with 1-10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, in which the polypropylene glycol chain acts as a hydrophobic radical .

Auch nichtionische Tenside vom Typ der Aminoxide oder Sulfoxide sind verwendbar, beispielsweise die Verbindungen N-Kokosalkyl-N,N-di- methylaminoxid, N-Hexadecyl-N,N-bis- (2,3-dihydroxypropylaminoxid, N-Talgalkyl-N,N-dihy- droxyethylaminoxid.Nonionic surfactants of the amine oxide or sulfoxide type can also be used, for example the compounds N-cocoalkyl-N, N-dimethylamine oxide, N-hexadecyl-N, N-bis- (2,3-dihydroxypropylamine oxide, N-tallow alkyl-N, N-dihydroxyethylamine oxide.

Beim Einsatz von Acylcyanamidsalzen im Zusammenspiel mit nichtionischen Tensiden wird eine ungewöhnlich gute Reinigungswirkung mit solchen Mitteln erreicht, die 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 3-15 Gew.%, Acylcyanamidsalz mit 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 2-15 Gew.%, nichtionisches Tensid aus der Gruppe Alkoholethoxylate und Alkylphenolethoxylate neben anderen üblichen Bestandteilen von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln enthalten.When using acyl cyanamide salts in combination with nonionic surfactants, an unusually good cleaning effect is achieved with agents which contain 1-30% by weight, preferably 3-15% by weight, acyl cyanamide salt with 1-30% by weight, preferably 2-15% by weight. %, nonionic surfactant from the group of alcohol ethoxylates and alkylphenol ethoxylates in addition to other common constituents of detergents and cleaning agents.

Ein ganz besonders hohes Reinigungsvermögen gegenüber Fett- und Pigmentanschmutzungen weisen solche Mittel auf, in denen die Acylcyanamidsalze in Kombination mit nichtionischen Tensiden vom Typ der Alkoholethoxylate vorliegen.Agents in which the acylcyanamide salts are present in combination with nonionic surfactants of the alcohol ethoxylate type have a very particularly high cleaning power against grease and pigment soiling.

Diese Tensidkombination enthält Acylcyanamidsalze und nichtionische Tenside der Formel

Figure imgb0002
in der R einen n-Alkyl- oder n-Alkenylrest mit 12-18 Kohlenstoffatomen darstellt und n einen Mittelwert mit der Grösse 4-15 bedeutet, im Gewichtsverhältnis 1:4 bis 4:1, vorzugsweise 2:3 bis 4:1, und sie ist in den Mitteln zu 2-50 Gew.%, insbesondere 5-30 Gew.% enthalten.This combination of surfactants contains acyl cyanamide salts and nonionic surfactants of the formula
Figure imgb0002
in which R represents an n-alkyl or n-alkenyl radical having 12-18 carbon atoms and n is an average value with a size of 4-15, in a weight ratio of 1: 4 to 4: 1, preferably 2: 3 to 4: 1, and it is contained in the agents at 2-50% by weight, in particular 5-30% by weight.

Dieses besondere Reinigungsvermögen gegenüber Fett- und Pigmentanschmutzungen ist von besonderer Bedeutung, da diese Anschmutzungstypen den überwiegenden Teil der Anschmutzungen auf waschbaren Textilien darstellen und sie auch mit den heute zur Verfügung stehenden Waschmitteln nicht in allen Fällen ausreichend entfernt werden können.This special cleaning ability against grease and pigment soiling is of particular importance, since these types of soiling represent the majority of the soiling on washable textiles and they cannot be sufficiently removed in all cases even with the detergents available today.

Erfindungsgemässe Mittel, in denen neben dem Acylcyanamidsalz sowohl synthetisches anionisches als auch nichtionisches Tensid vorliegen, besitzen eine sehr breite Wirksamkeit, d.h. sie entfernen zahlreiche Anschmutzungen der unterschiedlichsten Art in zufriedenstellender Weise. Solche Mittel enthalten neben anderen, üblichen Waschmittelbestandteilen 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 3-15 Gew.% Acylcyanamid der Formel I, 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 3-15 Gew.% synthetisches Aniontensid, insbesondere aus der Gruppe Alkylbenzolsulfonate, Estersulfonate, Alkoholsulfate und deren Mischungen und 1-30 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 2-15 Gew.96 nichtionisches Tensid, insbesondere aus der Gruppe Alkoholethoxylate, Alkylphenolethoxylate und deren Mischungen.Agents according to the invention in which both synthetic anionic and nonionic surfactant are present in addition to the acylcyanamide salt have a very broad activity, i.e. they remove numerous types of soiling in a satisfactory manner. In addition to other conventional detergent components, such compositions contain 1-30% by weight, preferably 3-15% by weight, of acylcyanamide of the formula I, 1-30% by weight, preferably 3-15% by weight, of synthetic anionic surfactant, in particular from the group of alkylbenzenesulfonates, Ester sulfonates, alcohol sulfates and mixtures thereof and 1-30% by weight, preferably 2-15% by weight 96 nonionic surfactant, in particular from the group of alcohol ethoxylates, alkylphenol ethoxylates and mixtures thereof.

Die erfindungsgemässen Mittel enthalten als moderne Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel neben den Tensiden sogenannte Gerüstsubstanzen, auch als Builders bezeichnet, deren Aufgabe es ist, die Reinigungswirkung der Tenside zu verstärken und die negativen Einflüsse der Wasserhärte auszuschalten.As modern washing and cleaning agents, the agents according to the invention contain, in addition to the surfactants, so-called builders, also called builders, whose task is to increase the cleaning action of the surfactants and to eliminate the negative effects of water hardness.

Unter den Gerüstsubstanzen kam bisher den kondensierten Phosphaten, insbesondere dem Pentanatriumtriphosphat eine hervorragende Stellung zu. Diese Phosphate besitzen ausgezeichnete anwendungstechnische Eigenschaften und können in den Mitteln als alleinige Gerüstsubstanzen vorliegen. Sie können in diesen Mitteln aber auch ganz oder teilweise durch Phosphataustauschstoffe ersetzt sein, vor allem dann, wenn dadurch die Belastung der Abwässer mit den Phosphaten, die zu einer Eutrophierung stehender Gewässer führt, verringert oder vermieden wird.So far, condensed phosphates, especially pentasodium triphosphate, have had an excellent position among the framework substances. These phosphates have excellent performance properties and can be present in the agents as the only framework substances. In these agents, however, they can also be replaced in whole or in part by phosphate substitutes, especially if the pollution of the waste water with the phosphates, which leads to the eutrophication of standing waters, is thereby reduced or avoided.

Als Phosphataustauschstoffe kommen anorganische und organische Verbindungen, die eine dem Natriumtripolyphosphat zumindest teilweise äquivalente Builder-Wirkung besitzen, in Betracht. Bei den geeigneten wasserlöslichen anorganischen Verbindungen handelt es sich im wesentlichen um die Alkalicarbonate und Alkalisilikate. Brauchbare wasserlösliche organische Verbindungen finden sich in den Verbindungsklassen der Hydroxycarbonsäuren, Aminocarbonsäuren, Polycarbonsäuren, Carboxyalkylether, der polymeren Polycarbonsäuren sowie der substituierten und unsubstituierten Alkandi- und -polyphosphonsäuren. Typische Beispiele dieser Verbindungsklassen sind Citronensäure, Nitrilotriessigsäure, Mellithsäure, Carboxymethyloxybernsteinsäure, Polyacrylsäure, Polymethacrylsäure, Poly-a-hydroxyacrylsäure, Polymaleinsäure und die entsprechenden Copolymerisate und Hydroxyethandiphosphonsäure. Diese Verbindungen werden meist in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze eingesetzt.Inorganic and organic compounds which have a builder effect at least partially equivalent to sodium tripolyphosphate are suitable as phosphate substitutes. The suitable water-soluble inorganic compounds are essentially the alkali carbonates and alkali silicates. Useful water-soluble organic compounds can be found in the compound classes of the hydroxycarboxylic acids, aminocarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids, carboxyalkyl ethers, the polymeric polycarboxylic acids and the substituted and unsubstituted alkanedi- and polyphosphonic acids. Typical examples of these classes of compounds are citric acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, mellitic acid, carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, poly-a-hydroxyacrylic acid, polymaleic acid and the corresponding copolymers and hydroxyethane diphosphonic acid. These compounds are mostly used in the form of their water-soluble salts.

Besondere praktische Bedeutung erlangten in den letzten Jahren die in der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 2412837 zum ersten Mal als Phosphatsubstitute für Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel beschriebenen feinteiligen, kationenaustauschenden, kristallinen Natriumalumosilikate, die der Zusammensetzung

Figure imgb0003
entsprechen und die ein Calciumbindevermögen von 100 bis 200 mg CaO/g (bezogen auf die wasserfreie Substanz) aufweisen. Zu diesen feinteiligen, hydratisierten Natriumalumosilikaten gehören insbesondere die Zeolithe NaA und NaX.In recent years, the fine-particle, cation-exchanging, crystalline sodium aluminosilicates described in German Offenlegungsschrift 2412837 for the first time as phosphate substitutes for detergents and cleaning agents have acquired particular practical importance
Figure imgb0003
correspond and which have a calcium binding capacity of 100 to 200 mg CaO / g (based on the anhydrous substance). These finely divided, hydrated sodium aluminosilicates include, in particular, the NaA and NaX zeolites.

In grossem Masstab wird vor allem der Zeolith NaA als Ersatz für Natriumtripolyphosphat in phosphatarmen und phosphatfreien Waschmitteln eingesetzt.Zeolite NaA is mainly used on a large scale as a substitute for sodium tripolyphosphate in low-phosphate and phosphate-free detergents.

Vorzugsweise wird die Gerüstsubstanz in den erfindungsgemässen Mitteln aus der Gruppe Natriumtriphosphat, Natriumaluminiumsilikat, Natriumnitrilotriacetat, Natriumalkanpolyphosphonat und deren Mischungen ausgewählt.The framework substance in the agents according to the invention is preferably selected from the group sodium triphosphate, sodium aluminum silicate, sodium nitrilotriacetate, sodium alkane polyphosphonate and mixtures thereof.

In dem erfindungsgemässen Waschmittel ist die Builder-Komponente im allgemeinen in einer Menge von 3 bis 70 Gew.%, vorzugsweise in einer Menge von 20 bis 50 Gew.%, enthalten; einzelne Builder-Substanzen, beispielsweise die Alkanpolyphosphonate, können auch in wesentlich geringeren Mengen, d.h. in Mengen von 0,1 bis 3 Gew.% vorliegen.The builder component is generally present in the detergent according to the invention in an amount of 3 to 70% by weight, preferably in an amount of 20 to 50% by weight; individual builder substances, for example the alkane polyphosphonates, can also be used in much smaller amounts, i.e. present in amounts of 0.1 to 3% by weight.

Die erfindungsgemässen Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel zeigen in der Anwendung neben dem bereits erwähnten hohen Reinigungsvermögen als weitere besondere Eigenschaft ein überraschend hohes Schmutztragevermögen. Mit diesen Mitteln lassen sich beispielsweise in der Textilwäsche so niedrige Vergrauungswerte erreichen, wie sie sonst nur in Gegenwart spezieller Vergrauungsinhibitoren, das sind im allgemeinen hochmolekulare polyionische Verbindungen, beobachtet werden. Dies führt dazu, dass auf den Einsatz von Vergrauungsinhibitoren ganz verzichtet werden kann und so eine wesentliche Vereinfachung der Waschmittelrezeptur erreicht wird. Die Mittel können aber durchaus auch zusätzlich Vergrauungsinhibitoren enthalten und erreichen dann in der Flotte ein höheres Schmutztragevermögen als herkömmliche Mittel.The detergents and cleaning agents according to the invention, in addition to the already mentioned high cleaning power, show a surprisingly high dirt-carrying capacity as a further special property. With these agents, graying values can be achieved, for example, in textile washing, which are otherwise only observed in the presence of special graying inhibitors, which are generally high molecular weight polyionic compounds. This means that the use of graying inhibitors can be dispensed with entirely, thus considerably simplifying the detergent formulation. However, the agents can also contain additional graying inhibitors and then achieve a higher dirt-carrying capacity in the liquor than conventional agents.

Als Vergrauungsinhibitoren sind wasserlösliche Kolloide meist organischer Natur geeignet, wie beispielsweise die wasserlöslichen Salze polymerer Carbonsäuren, Leim, Gelatine, Salze von Ethercarbonsäuren oder Ethersulfonsäuren der Stärke oder der Cellulose oder Salze von sauren Schwefelsäureestern der Cellulose oder der Stärke. Auch wasserlösliche, saure Gruppen enthaltende Polyamide sind für diesen Zweck geeignet. Bevorzugt sind carboxymethylierte Cellulose oder Stärke in Form ihrer Natriumsalze, Methylcellulosen sowie Polymere und Copolymere aus (Meth)acrylsäure und Maleinsäure. Weiterhin lassen sich lösliche Stärkepräparate und andere als die obengenannten Stärkeprodukte verwenden, wie z.B. abgebaute Stärke, Aldehydstärken usw. Auch Umfärbeinhibitoren vom Typ des Polyvinylpyrrolidons sind brauchbar.As graying inhibitors, water-soluble colloids, usually of an organic nature, are suitable, such as, for example, the water-soluble salts of polymeric carboxylic acids, glue, gelatin, salts of ether carboxylic acids or ether sulfonic acids of starch or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch. Water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are also suitable for this purpose. Carboxymethylated cellulose or starch in the form of its sodium salts, methyl celluloses and polymers and copolymers of (meth) acrylic acid and maleic acid are preferred. Soluble starch preparations and starch products other than those mentioned above can also be used, e.g. degraded starch, aldehyde starches, etc. Also polyvinylpyrrolidone-type coloring inhibitors are useful.

Als eine weitere überraschende Eigenschaft der erfindungsgemässen Waschmittel ist zu werten, dass sie den gewaschenen Baumwolltextilien einen deutlich weicheren Griff verleihen als herkömmliche moderne Mittel. Dies kann soweit gehen, dass auf die Einarbeitung spezieller weichmachender Wirkstoffe, sogenannter Avivagesubstanzen, in die Waschmittel, wie sie heute gelegentlich vorgenommen wird, und auch auf eine nachträgliche Avivage im Spülbad verzichtet werden kann. Besonders deutlich zeigt sich dieser Effekt bei solchen Waschmitteln, in denen der Anteil der Acylcyanamide über 6 Gew.%, insbesondere über 12 Gew.% liegt.Another surprising property of the detergents according to the invention is that they give the washed cotton textiles a significantly softer feel than conventional modern detergents. This can go so far that the incorporation of special softening agents, so-called finish substances, into the detergents, as is occasionally done today, and also a subsequent finish in the rinsing bath can be dispensed with. This effect is particularly evident in detergents in which the proportion of acylcyanamides is above 6% by weight, in particular above 12% by weight.

Zur Entfernung gewisser pflanzlicher Anschmutzungen können Bleichmittel in den erfindungsgemässen Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln enthalten sein. Besonders geeignet sind bekannte Bleichmittel vom Peroxidtyp, wie Natriumperborat, Natriumcarbonat-Perhydrat, Kaliumperoxomonosulfat und organische Percarbonsäuren. Diese Bleichmittel können allein vorliegen oder auch in Verbindung mit bekannten Stabilisatoren, wie Magnesiumsilikat, Natriumethylendiamintetraacetat oder Natriumsalzen von Polyphosphonsäuren verwendet werden, die die Aufgabe haben, den vorzeitigen Zerfall der Perverbindungen durch Schwermetallsalze und die Schädigung der Gewebe zu verhindern.Bleaching agents can be contained in the washing and cleaning agents according to the invention in order to remove certain plant stains. Known peroxide-type bleaching agents such as sodium perborate, sodium carbonate perhydrate, potassium peroxomonosulfate and organic percarboxylic acids are particularly suitable. These bleaches can be present alone or can also be used in conjunction with known stabilizers, such as magnesium silicate, sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate or sodium salts of polyphosphonic acids, which have the task of preventing the premature decomposition of the per compounds by heavy metal salts and the damage to the tissues.

Zusätzlich können Bleichaktivatoren zusammen mit den Bleichmitteln eingesetzt werden. Von den zahlreichen Vorschlägen in der Literatur, kommen als Aktivatoren insbesondere Anhydride, Carbonsäureamide und Carbonsäureester in Betracht, die gegenüber H202 in der Waschflotte acylierend wirken und auf diese Weise die Bleichkraft der Flotte verstärken. Beispiele für geeignete Aktivatoren sind Phthalsäureanhydrid, Tetraacetylethylendiamin, Tetraacetylglykoluril und Pentaacetylglucose.In addition, bleach activators can be used together with the bleaching agents. Of the numerous proposals in the literature, anhydrides, carboxamides and carboxylic acid esters are particularly suitable as activators, which have an acylating effect on H 2 O 2 in the wash liquor and thus increase the bleaching power of the liquor. Examples of suitable activators are phthalic anhydride, tetraacetylethylenediamine, tetraacetylglycoluril and pentaacetylglucose.

Die Menge an Aktivatoren beträgt in den Mitteln nicht mehr als 1, insbesondere 0,1-1 Äquivalent, bezogen auf die anwesende Menge an Perverbindung. Die Perverbindungen selbst sind in Mengen bis zu 40 Gew.%, vorzugsweise zu 1-30 Gew.%, die Stabilisatoren zu 0,01-5 Gew.% enthalten.The amount of activators in the agents is not more than 1, in particular 0.1-1 equivalent, based on the amount of per-compound present. The per compounds themselves are present in amounts of up to 40% by weight, preferably 1-30% by weight, the stabilizers containing 0.01-5% by weight.

Neben den bereits erwähnten Bestandteilen können die erfindungsgemässen Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel noch weitere, übliche Zusätze enthalten, insbesondere schaumregulierende Mittel, Enzyme, Parfümöle, Elektrolyte, mikrobizide Mittel und optische Aufheller.In addition to the constituents already mentioned, the washing and cleaning agents according to the invention can also contain other customary additives, in particular foam-regulating agents, enzymes, perfume oils, electrolytes, microbicidal agents and optical brighteners.

Als schauminhibierende Zusätze kommen beispielsweise folgende Stoffe in Betracht: Seifen mit 20-24 C-Atomen, langkettige Alkylmelamine, schaumarme nichtionische Tenside, ParaffinKohlenwasserstoffe, mikrokristalline Wachse und Silikonentschäumer. Besondere Bedeutung besitzen schaumdämpfende Seifen und Silikonverbindungen, hier wiederum die durch feinverteiltes Si02 aktivierten Polysiloxane.The following substances are considered as foam-inhibiting additives: soaps with 20-24 carbon atoms, long-chain alkyl melamines, low-foam nonionic surfactants, paraffinic hydrocarbons, microcrystalline waxes and silicone defoamers. Foam-damping soaps and silicone compounds are particularly important, here again the polysiloxanes activated by finely divided Si0 2 .

Für eine wirksame Schaumregulierung reichen 20 Gew.% Zusatz stets aus, verzugsweise werden 0,05-10 Gew.% verwendet.For effective foam regulation, 20% by weight of additive is always sufficient; 0.05-10% by weight are preferably used.

Als Enzyme können alle zur Verstärkung der Reinigungswirkung brauchbaren Enzyme in den Mitteln der Erfindung enthalten sein, wie Proteasen, Lipasen und Amylasen. Bevorzugt sind Enzyme mit Wirkungsoptimum in einen pH-Bereich, wie er bei Anwendung der Mittel erreicht wird, und solche Enzyme, die ihre Wirkung auch bei erhöhten Temperaturen beibehalten.All enzymes which can be used to enhance the cleaning action, such as proteases, lipases and amylases, can be present as enzymes. Enzymes with an optimum activity in a pH range, as is achieved when the agents are used, and those enzymes which retain their action even at elevated temperatures are preferred.

Elektrolyte können in den Mitteln zur Erhöhung der Ionenstärke in den Anwendungslösungen, zur pH-Regulierung, als Träger- oder Hüllstoffe, zur Phlegmatisierung von Perverbindungen oder auch nur als Füllstoffe enthalten sein. Es handelt sich dabei vorzugsweise um Salze des Natriums und Kaliums, z.B. Natriumborat, Natriumsulfat und Kaliumhydrogenphosphat, doch können auch schwache Säuren, wie z.B. Borsäure, oder Basen, wie Ammoniak, verwendet werden.Electrolytes can be contained in the agents for increasing the ionic strength in the application solutions, for pH regulation, as carriers or envelopes, for the desensitization of per compounds or even only as fillers. These are preferably salts of sodium and potassium, for example sodium borate, sodium sulfate and potassium hydrogen phosphate, but can weak acids such as boric acid or bases such as ammonia can also be used.

Mikrobizide können Bestandteile solcher Mittel sein, die bei ihrer Anwendung zusätzlich eine desinfizierende Wirkung entfalten sollen. Als Mikrobizide kommen übliche Bakterizide und Fungizide in Betracht, sofern sie mit den sonstigen Bestandteilen der Mittel verträglich sind.Microbicides can be components of such agents, which should also have a disinfectant effect when used. Typical bactericides and fungicides come into consideration as microbicides if they are compatible with the other components of the agents.

Optische Aufheller werden in den erfindungsgemässen Mitteln eingesetzt, wenn es darum geht, mit diesen Mitteln den Weissgrad der behandelten Gegenstände auch auf optischem Wege zu erhöhen. Zahlreiche Verbindungen sind in der Literatur als zu diesem Zweck brauchbar beschrieben worden. Für Textilwaschmittel eignen sich insbesondere die Derivate der Diaminostilbendisulfonsäure bzw. ihrer Salze, beispielsweise 4,4'-Bis-(2-anilino-4-morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-6-yl-amino)-stilben-2,2'-disulfonsäure, und Aufheller vom Typ des substituierten 4,4'-Distyrylbiphenyls, beispielsweise 4,4'-Bis-(4-chlor-3-sulfostyryl)-biphenyl.Optical brighteners are used in the agents according to the invention when it is a question of using these agents to increase the whiteness of the treated objects optically as well. Numerous compounds have been described in the literature as being useful for this purpose. The derivatives of diaminostilbenedisulfonic acid or its salts are particularly suitable for textile detergents, for example 4,4'-bis (2-anilino-4-morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-6-yl-amino) -stilbene-2, 2'-disulfonic acid, and brighteners of the substituted 4,4'-distyrylbiphenyl type, for example 4,4'-bis (4-chloro-3-sulfostyryl) biphenyl.

Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemässen Mittel kann mit den bei herkömmlichen Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln üblichen Verfahren erfolgen. Feste Mittel lassen sich im einfachsten Falle allein durch Mischen der pulvrigen oder körnigen Einzelbestandteile konfektionieren. Produkte mit besserem Rieselverhalten, die zudem weniger Staubanteile aufweisen, erhält man durch Granulation oder durch Sprühtrocknung. In allen Fällen wird die Konfektionierung der Mittel durch den Einsatz der Acylcyanamidsalze in wasserfreier Form, in der diese technisch leicht hergestellt werden können, sehr vereinfacht. Beim Sprühtrockenverfahren wirkt sich ausserdem die gute Temperaturstabilität der Acycyanamidsalze positiv aus. Auch die Herstellung pastöser und flüssiger Mittel ist mit üblichen Verfahren möglich. Im allgemeinen geht man sowohl von vorgelösten als auch von festen Bestandteilen aus, die gegebenenfalls mit weiterem Lösungsmittel, in der Regel Wasser, vermischt und homogenisiert werden. Durch Anwendung von Wärme und mechanischer Energie lässt sich der Homogenisiervorgang beschleunigen, der durch die gute Löslichkeit der Acylcyanamidsalze bereits sehr erleichtert wird. Für die Auflösung anderer organischer Bestandteile kann der Zusatz wassermischbarer organischer Lösungsmittel, wie Ethanol oder Isopropanol und für die Einstellung bestimmter Viskositäten der Zusatz von Hydrotropen, wie NaCI oder Triethanolamin, zweckmässig sein.The agents according to the invention can be produced using the methods customary for conventional washing and cleaning agents. In the simplest case, solid agents can be assembled simply by mixing the powdery or granular individual components. Products with better flow behavior, which also have less dust, can be obtained by granulation or spray drying. In all cases, the preparation of the agents is very simplified by the use of the acylcyanamide salts in anhydrous form, in which they can be easily produced technically. In addition, the good temperature stability of the acycyanamide salts has a positive effect in the spray drying process. The production of pasty and liquid agents is also possible using conventional methods. In general, both pre-dissolved and solid components are used, which are optionally mixed and homogenized with further solvent, usually water. By applying heat and mechanical energy, the homogenization process can be accelerated, which is already greatly facilitated by the good solubility of the acylcyanamide salts. The addition of water-miscible organic solvents, such as ethanol or isopropanol, and the addition of hydrotropes, such as NaCl or triethanolamine, can be useful for dissolving other organic constituents.
