Abstract

New washing products form suspensions of crystalline, stratified sodium silicates and other components typical of washing products in liquid non-ionic surface-active agents or in mixtures of such surface-active agents with organic solvents selected from the group composed of glycols, glycolethers and glycerine, whereas these washing products should not contain more than 30 wt. % water. The silicates used are compounds having the general formula: NaMSIx?O2x+1?.yH2?O, in which M stands for sodium or hydrogen, x is a number between 1.9 and 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft flüssige bis pastenförmige Waschmittel, die Silikate und nichtionische Tenside enthalten.The present invention relates to liquid to pasty detergents which contain silicates and nonionic surfactants.

Seit langer Zeit ist man bemüht, die früher in nahezu allen Waschmitteln als Gerüstsubstanzen (Builder) enthaltenen Phosphate durch andere gleichwirkende Stoffe zu ersetzen, da Phosphate für die Eutrophierung von Oberflächengewässern verantwortlich sein können. Obwohl mit den Zeolithen in den 70iger Jahren Austauschstoffe gefunden wurden, die praktisch alle Ansprüche an derartige Substanzen befriedigten, so daß sie inzwischen die Phosphate weitgehend aus Waschmitteln verdrängt haben, ist man auch weiterhin bemüht, alternative Austauschstoffe für Phosphat zu finden. Ein Vorschlag aus jüngerer Zeit betrifft kristalline, schichtförmige Natriumsilikate der allgemeinen Formel NaMSixO2x+1.yH₂O, in der M Natrium oder Wasserstoff, x eine Zahl von 1,9 bis 4 und y eine Zahl von 0 bis 20 bedeuten (EP 164 514, EP 337 217 und EP 337 219). Schichtsilikate dieser allgemeinen Formel, in der x vorzugsweise eine Zahl von 1,5 bis 4 und y kleiner als 2x bedeuten, werden gemäß EP 263 520 in einem Waschmittel zusammen mit polyoxyethylierten, langkettigen Alkoholen eingesetzt. Im Unterschied zu amorphen Silikaten, die schon immer in Waschmitteln, zum Teil allein oder auch neben Phosphat, verwendet wurden, besitzen diese dort vorgestellten kristallinen, schichtförmigen Silikate ein ausgeprägtes Bindevermögen für Calcium- und Magnesiumionen. Sie wurden deshalb in den oben genannten Patentanmeldungen für den Einsatz zur Wasserenthärtung und als Bestandteile von festen Waschmitteln vorgeschlagen.For a long time, efforts have been made to replace the phosphates previously contained in almost all detergents as builders (builders) with other substances having the same effect, since phosphates can be responsible for the eutrophication of surface waters. Although substitutes were found with the zeolites in the 1970s that met practically all requirements for such substances, so that they have largely displaced the phosphates from detergents, efforts are still being made to find alternative substitutes for phosphates. A recent proposal relates to crystalline, layered sodium silicates of the general formula NaMSi x O 2x + 1 .yH₂O, in which M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 (EP 164 514, EP 337 217 and EP 337 219). Layer silicates of this general formula, in which x is preferably a number from 1.5 to 4 and y is less than 2x, are, according to EP 263 520, in a detergent together with polyoxyethylated, long-chain alcohols used. In contrast to amorphous silicates, which have always been used in detergents, sometimes alone or in addition to phosphate, these crystalline, layered silicates presented there have a pronounced binding capacity for calcium and magnesium ions. They were therefore proposed in the above-mentioned patent applications for use in water softening and as components of solid detergents.

Von diesen kristallinen, schichtförmigen Silikaten war allerdings auch bekannt, daß sie in Gegenwart von polaren, protischen Flüssigkeiten unbeständig sind und sich in amorphe Silikate umwandeln. Mit dem Verlust der Schichtstruktur geht aber zwangsläufig ein Verlust an Calcium- und Magnesiumbindevermögen einher, so daß eine wesentliche Funktion, die ein Waschmittelbuilder aufweisen sollte, dann nicht mehr gegeben ist. Für den Einsatz in flüssigen oder pastenförmigen Waschmitteln schienen diese kristallinen, schichtförmigen Disilikate deshalb nicht in Betracht zukommen.These crystalline, layered silicates, however, were also known to be unstable in the presence of polar, protic liquids and to convert into amorphous silicates. With the loss of the layer structure, however, there is inevitably a loss of calcium and magnesium binding capacity, so that an essential function which a detergent builder should then no longer exist. For the These crystalline, layered disilicates therefore did not appear to be suitable for use in liquid or pasty detergents.

Überraschenderweise wurde jetzt gefunden, daß dieser Einsatz in flüssigen und pastösen Waschmitteln doch möglich ist, wenn diese Waschmittel eine flüssige Phase bestimmter Zusammensetzung enthalten und die kristallinen, schichtförmigen Disilikate in dieser flüssigen Phase zum überwiegenden Teil in suspendierter Form vorliegen.Surprisingly, it has now been found that this use in liquid and pasty detergents is nevertheless possible if these detergents contain a liquid phase of a certain composition and the crystalline, layered disilicates are predominantly in suspended form in this liquid phase.

Gegenstand der Erfindung sind flüssige bis pastöse Waschmittel, die kristallines, schichtförmiges Natriumsilikat der allgemeinen Formel NaMSixO2x+1.yH₂O, in der M Natrium oder Wasserstoff, x eine Zahl von 1,9 bis 4 und y eine Zahl von 0 bis 20 bedeuten, enthalten, wobei dieses Silikat in einer flüssigen Phase suspendiert ist, die nichtionische Tenside, der Formel R-(O-CH₂-CH₂-)n OH (I), in der R einen langkettigen primären oder sekundären Alkylrest mit 8 bis 20 C-Atomen und n eine Zahl zwischen 3 und 20 bedeuten, sowie gegebenenfalls organische Lösungsmittel aus der Gruppe der Glykole und Glykolether, und nicht mehr als 30 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Mittel, an Wasser enthält. Besonders bevorzugt werden solche Mittel, in denen die flüssige Phase nicht mehr als 20 Gew.-%, insbesondere nicht mehr als 10 Gew. -% an Wasser enthält.The invention relates to liquid to pasty detergents, the crystalline, layered sodium silicate of the general formula NaMSi x O2 x + 1 .yH₂O, in which M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 mean, wherein this silicate is suspended in a liquid phase, the nonionic surfactants, the formula R- (O-CH₂-CH₂-) n OH (I), in which R is a long-chain primary or secondary alkyl radical with 8 to 20 C. -Atoms and n are a number between 3 and 20, and optionally organic solvents from the group of glycols and glycol ethers, and not more than 30% by weight, based on the total composition, of water. Agents in which the liquid phase contains not more than 20% by weight, in particular not more than 10% by weight, of water are particularly preferred.

In den neuen Mitteln ist die Zersetzung der kristallinen, schichtförmigen Natriumsilikate soweit zurückgedrängt, daß sie innerhalb der für Waschmittel üblichen Lagerzeiten nicht mehr stört. Die Builderwirkung bleibt in der für den Waschvorgang notwendigen Höhe erhalten. Als weiterer Vorteil ist zu werten, daß sich anorganische Peroxide stabil in diese Waschmittel einarbeiten lassen.In the new compositions, the decomposition of the crystalline, layered sodium silicates has been suppressed to such an extent that it no longer interferes with the storage times customary for detergents. The builder effect remains at the level necessary for the washing process. Another advantage is that inorganic peroxides can be stably incorporated into these detergents.

Bei den erfindungsgemäß verwendeten kristallinen, schichtförmigen Natriumsilikaten kann es sich um natürlich vorkommende Mineralien, beispielsweise Kanemit, handeln. Bevorzugt werden aber synthetisch hergestellte, schichtförmige Silikate verwendet, die in verschiedenster Form in der Literatur beschrieben sind. Besonders bevorzugt werden die Silikate der Formel NaMSi₂O₅ · yH₂O, von denen wiederum die beta- und die delta-Modifikation des Na₂Si₂O₅ besonders bevorzugt sind. Die kristallinen, schichtförmigen Natriumsilikate sind in den flüssigen bis pastösen Waschmitteln vorzugsweise in Mengen zwischen 10 und 50 Gew.-% und insbesondere in Mengen zwischen 20 und 40 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Mittel, enthalten. Vorzugsweise werden die kristallinen, schichtförmigen Natriumsilikate in den Mitteln in Form sehr kleiner Teilchen, die vorzugsweise kleiner als 100 »m, insbesondere kleiner als 30 »m sind, eingesetzt.The crystalline, layered sodium silicates used according to the invention can be naturally occurring minerals, for example kanemite. However, preference is given to using synthetically produced, layered silicates which have been described in various forms in the literature. The silicates of the formula NaMSi₂O₅ · yH₂O are particularly preferred, of which in turn the beta and delta modifications of Na₂Si₂O₅ are particularly preferred. The crystalline, layered Sodium silicates are preferably contained in the liquid to pasty detergents in amounts between 10 and 50% by weight and in particular in amounts between 20 and 40% by weight, based on the total agent. The crystalline, layered sodium silicates are preferably used in the compositions in the form of very small particles, which are preferably smaller than 100 »m, in particular smaller than 30» m.

Vorzugsweise liegt der Wassergehalt zwischen 0,5 und 20 Gew.-%, insbesondere nicht über 10 Gew.-% bezogen auf das gesamte Mittel. Dabei ist das Wasser, das in die Mittel in Form von Hydratwasser fester Salze oder in ähnlich gebundener Form eingebracht wird, mitzurechnen. Im übrigen wird die Zusammensetzung der flüssigen Phase vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß der Stockpunkt dieser Phase unterhalb von 15 °C, insbesondere unterhalb von 10 °C liegt. Diese Werte lassen sich ohne weiteres durch die Verwendung entsprechend flüssiger nichtionischer Tenside und/oder ausreichender Anteile an organischen Lösungsmitteln und/oder Wasser erreichen.The essential components of the liquid phase, in which the crystalline, layered sodium silicates are suspended, contain nonionic surfactants of the formula (I) and optionally organic solvents from the group of glycols and glycol ethers and up to 30% by weight, based on the total Medium, in water. The water content is preferably between 0.5 and 20% by weight, in particular not more than 10% by weight, based on the total composition. The water that is introduced into the medium in the form of water of hydration of solid salts or in a similarly bound form must be included in the calculation. Otherwise, the composition of the liquid phase is preferably chosen so that the pour point of this phase is below 15 ° C., in particular below 10 ° C. These values can easily be achieved by using appropriately liquid nonionic surfactants and / or sufficient proportions of organic solvents and / or water.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Komponente der erfindungsgemäßen flüssigen bis pastenförmigen Waschmittel sind anorganische Peroxide, die als Bleichmittel wirksam sind. Im einfachsten Falle kann an Stelle eines Teils des in der flüssigen Phase vorhandenen Wassers eine gewichtsgleiche Menge an Wasserstoffperoxid eingesetzt werden. Vorzugsweise werden aber feste anorganische Peroxide eingesetzt, die sich dann im Mittel überwiegend auch in ungelöster, d.h. suspendierter Form befinden. Ganz besonders bevorzugt werden Perborat-Tetrahydrat, Perborat-Monohydrat und das Addukt von H₂O₂ an Natriumcarbonat, das auch als Percarbonat bezeichnet wird. Die festen anorganischen Peroxide werden wie die kristallinen, schichtförmigen Natriumsilikate in den Mitteln vorzugsweise in sehr feinteiliger Form eingesetzt. Ihr Gehalt in den erfindungsgemäßen Mitteln kann bis zu 30 Gew.-% betragen, vorzugsweise liegt er zwischen 5 und 30 Gew.-% und insbesondere zwischen 10 und 25 Gew.-%.Another preferred component of the liquid to pasty detergents according to the invention are inorganic peroxides, which are effective as bleaching agents. In the simplest case, an equal weight of hydrogen peroxide can be used instead of part of the water present in the liquid phase. However, preference is given to using solid inorganic peroxides, which on average are then predominantly also in undissolved, i.e. suspended form. Perborate tetrahydrate, perborate monohydrate and the adduct of H₂O₂ with sodium carbonate, which is also referred to as percarbonate, are very particularly preferred. The solid inorganic peroxides, like the crystalline, layered sodium silicates, are preferably used in the compositions in very finely divided form.

Auch nichtionische Tenside vom Typ der Aminoxide, beispielsweise N-Kokosalkyl-N,N-dimethylaminoxid und N-Talgalkyl-N,N-dihydroxiethylaminoxid, und der Fettsäurealkanolamide können geeignet sein. Die Menge dieser nichtionischen Tenside beträgt im allgemeinen nicht mehr als die der nichtionischen Tenside der Formel (I), vorzugsweise nicht mehr als die Hälfte davon.Additional nonionic surfactants include primarily the addition products of ethylene oxide with polypropylene oxide or with fatty acids, fatty acid amides or alkylphenols with 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and the alkyl glycosides, for example the alkyl glucosides or alkyl polyglucosides available from glucose and long-chain primary alcohols.

An example of a betaine surfactant is N, N-dimethyl-N-cocoalkylaminoacetate.

Obwohl die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel vorzugsweise als Gerüstsubstanzen allein die kristallinen, schichtförmigen Natriumsilikate enthalten, können daneben in den Mitteln auch weitere organische und/oder anorganische, lösliche oder unlösliche Gerüstsubstanzen enthalten sein. Die Menge dieser zusätzlichen Gerüstsubstanzen liegt im allgemeinen nicht über der Menge an schichtförmigen Silikaten und beträgt vorzugsweise weniger als die Hälfte dieser Silikate; insbesondere liegt die Menge zwischen 0,1 und 5 Gew.-% bezogen auf das gesamte Mittel.Although the agents according to the invention preferably contain only the crystalline, layered sodium silicates as builders, the agents may also contain further organic and / or inorganic, soluble or insoluble builders. The amount of these additional builder substances is generally not more than the amount of layered silicates and is preferably less than half these silicates; in particular the amount is between 0.1 and 5% by weight, based on the total agent.

Als zusätzliche Gerüstsubstanz sind insbesondere die alkalisch reagierenden Salze, insbesondere Alkalisalze, die nicht nur Calciumionen auszufällen oder komplex zu binden vermögen, sondern möglichst auch mit den Tensiden eine synergistische Steigerung der Waschkraft bewirken und ein Schmutztragevermögen besitzen, zu erwähnen. Von den anorganischen Salzen sind die wasserlöslichen Alkalimeta- oder Alkalipolyphosphate, insbesondere das Pentanatriumtriphosphat, immer noch von Bedeutung.

Neben N-Acylverbindungen und O-Acylverbindungen können auch Anhydride zum Einsatz kommen. Vorzugsweise werden solche Bleichaktivatoren verwendet, die im flüssigen Anteil des Waschmittels weitgehend ungelöst bleiben und deshalb überwiegend in suspendierter Form vorliegen. Die Mengen an Bleichaktivatoren beträgt vorzugsweise nicht mehr als 6 Gew.-%, insbesondere zwischen 2 und 5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Mittel.To strengthen the bleaching effectiveness of the agents according to the invention, they can contain bleach activators in addition to inorganic peroxide.

Examples of common bleach activators are tetraacetylethylenediamine, pentaacetylglucose and diacetyldioxohexahydrotriazine. In addition to N-acyl compounds and O-acyl compounds, anhydrides can also be used. Bleach activators are preferably used which remain largely undissolved in the liquid portion of the detergent and are therefore predominantly in suspended form. The amounts of bleach activators are preferably not more than 6% by weight, in particular between 2 and 5% by weight, based on the total agent.

Für Waschmittel besonders geeignete optische Aufheller sind Alkalisalze der 4,4-Bis-(2''-anilino-4''-morpholino-1,3,5-triazinyl-6''-amino)stilben-2,2'-disulfonsäure oder gleichartig aufgebaute Verbindungen, die anstelle der Morpholinogruppe eine Diethanolaminogruppe tragen.

Bei Waschkraftverstärkern handelt es sich um polare langkettige Verbindungen, die selbst keine oberflächenaktiven Eigenschaften besitzen, aber in der Lage sind, die Reinigungswirkung der in den Waschmitteln enthaltenen Tenside zu erhöhen. Beispiele derartiger Verbindungen sind Kokosamin + 2 EO und die Additionsprodukte aus Glycerin und langkettigem α-Olefinepoxid.Detergent boosters are polar long-chain compounds that do not themselves have any surface-active properties, but are able to increase the cleaning effect of the surfactants contained in the detergents. Examples of such compounds are coconut amine + 2 EO and the addition products of glycerol and long-chain α-olefin epoxide.

Als Enzyme kommen solche aus der Klasse der Proteasen, Lipasen und Amylasen bzw. deren Gemische in Frage. Besonders geeignet sind aus Bakterienstämmen oder Pilzen, wie Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis und Streptomyces griseus gewonnene enzymatische Wirkstoffe. Die Enzyme können in Hüllsubstanzen eingebettet sein, um sie gegen vorzeitige Zersetzung zu schützen.Enzymes from the class of proteases, lipases and amylases or their mixtures are possible. Bacterial strains or fungi such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and are particularly suitable Streptomyces griseus enzymatic substances obtained. The enzymes can be embedded in coating substances to protect them against premature decomposition.

Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Mittel bietet keine Schwierigkeiten. Sie erfolgt im einfachsten Falle durch Mischen sämtlicher Bestandteile, wobei man zweckmäßigerweise zunächst die Bestandteile, die später die flüssige Phase bilden, vormischt und dann die zu suspendierenden Bestandteile in diese Flüssigkeit einträgt und homogen damit vermischt. Vorzugsweise geht man bei den festen Bestandteilen des Mittels bereits von Teilchengrößen aus, wie sie später im fertigen Mittel vorliegen sollen, doch ist es auch möglich, die Größe der suspendierten festen Teilchen nachträglich durch Naßvermahlung des fertigen Mittels weiter zu verkleinern. Die Viskosität des fertigen Mittels hängt in erster Linie vom Verhältnis fest/flüssig im fertigen Mittel und von der Viskosität der flüssigen Phase ab. Diese wiederum läßt sich durch Wahl geeigneter Bestandteile in weiten Grenzen variieren. So kann beispielsweise durch Zusatz organischer Lösungsmittel die Viskosität erniedrigt und durch Zusatz verdickend wirkender Bestandteile, wie etwa Seifen, die Viskosität erhöht werden. Flüssige erfindungsgemäße Mittel haben vorzugsweise Viskositäten zwischen etwa 1 000 und etwa 5 000 mPas, insbesondere zwischen etwa 2 000 und etwa 4 000 mPas, wobei die Viskosität mit Hilfe eines Brookfield-Viskosimeters bei 20 °C gemessen wird. Die Viskositäten der Waschmittel in Pastenform, die wegen ihrer besonders hohen physikalischen Stabilität bevorzugt werden, gehen weit darüber hinaus.The preparation of the agents according to the invention presents no difficulties. In the simplest case, it is carried out by mixing all the components, the components which later form the liquid phase are advantageously first premixed and then the components to be suspended are introduced into this liquid and mixed homogeneously therewith. The solid constituents of the composition are preferably already based on particle sizes as they are later to be present in the finished composition, but it is also possible to further reduce the size of the suspended solid particles by wet grinding the finished composition. The viscosity of the finished product depends primarily on the solid / liquid ratio in the finished product and on the viscosity of the liquid phase. This in turn can be varied within wide limits by choosing suitable components. For example, the viscosity can be reduced by adding organic solvents and the viscosity can be increased by adding constituents with a thickening effect, such as soaps. Liquid agents according to the invention preferably have viscosities between about 1,000 and about 5,000 mPas, in particular between about 2,000 and about 4,000 mPas, the viscosity being measured using a Brookfield viscometer at 20 ° C. The viscosities of the detergent in paste form, which are preferred because of their particularly high physical stability, go far beyond.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel sind in erster Linie für den Einsatz in der Textilwäsche bestimmt. Je nach Gehalt an Wirkstoffen können sie dabei als Alleinwaschmittel oder aber als Waschzusatzmittel eingesetzt werden. Sie eignen sich aber bei entsprechender Wahl der Wirkstoffe auch zur Reinigung von harten Oberflächen im Haushalt oder im gewerblichen Bereich. Bedingt durch die Stabilität der Suspensionen lassen sich die Mittel auch automatisch dosieren.The agents according to the invention are primarily intended for use in textile washing. Depending on the content of active ingredients, they can be used as stand-alone detergents or as detergent additives. However, if the active ingredients are selected appropriately, they are also suitable for cleaning hard surfaces in the home or in the commercial sector. Due to the stability of the suspensions, the agents can also be dosed automatically.
