- the amount of hexafluorosilicic acid and / or its water-soluble salts in the laundry treatment composition is preferably about 1 to 25 percent by weight, in particular about 5 to 20 percent by weight.
- the hexafluorosilicic acid or its salts are the sole or predominant constituent for acidifying the treatment agent, it also being preferred here not to set pH values above 4 in the aqueous aftertreatment agent.
- Suitable water-soluble salts of hexafluorosilicic acid are, for example, corresponding salts from the first to third groups of the periodic system, the ammonium salt of the acid mentioned or the corresponding amine and / or quaternary ammonium salts.
- particularly suitable acidifying components can be their sodium, potassium and / or ammonium salts, the magnesium and / or zinc salt, the magnesium salt being preferred because of its excellent acidifying and peroxide-stabilizing action.

- the active ingredient mixtures according to the invention are generally placed in the last rinsing bath of a commercial washing machine - depending on the implementation of the previous washing process, i.e. of the remaining residual alkali or the desired softening or microbicidal effect - in an amount of 1 to 5 g / l to the rinse water (temperature approx. 25 ° C) and treat the washed and bleached with hypochlorite laundry for approx. 2 minutes. After this treatment liquor has been spun off, it can be determined by measuring the pH of the adhering moisture that alkaline detergent residues on the laundry are neutralized. The laundry does not smell of chlorine. After drying, it has a soft full grip.

Abstract
Description
In gewerblichen Wäschereien werden üblicherweise sehr alkalireiche Waschmittel eingesetzt. Eine Bleiche erfolgt gewöhnlich mit Hypochlorit. Wasch- und Bleichmittelreste, die der gewaschenen Wäsche nach dem letzten Spülvorgang anhaften, sind durch Spülen allein wirtschaftlich nicht zu entfernen. Die Beseitigung dieser Reste ist aber beispielsweise zur Vermeidung von Hautirritationen und zur Beseitigung eines vom Hypochlorit stammenden unangenehmen Chlorgeruchs notwendig. Hypochlorit- bzw. Chlorreste schädigen zudem die Textilfasern.In commercial laundries, very alkaline detergents are usually used. Bleaching is usually done with hypochlorite. Detergent and bleach residues that adhere to the washed laundry after the last rinsing process cannot be removed economically by rinsing alone. The removal of these residues is necessary, for example, to avoid skin irritation and to remove an unpleasant smell of chlorine originating from hypochlorite. Hypochlorite or chlorine residues also damage the textile fibers.
Man setzt deswegen dem letzten Spülbad Mittel mit sauren und/oder reduzierenden Bestandteilen, durch die störende Wasch- und Bleichmittelreste in nicht störende Verbindungen umgewandelt werden, zu. In vielen Fällen ist es weiterhin wünschenswert, daß gewaschene Wäsche nach dem Trocknen einen angenehmen weichen Griff aufweist; besonders trifft dies für Wäsche, die auf der Haut aufliegt, und für Frottierartikel zu. Gelegentlich ist auch eine bakteriostatische Ausrüstung der Textilien, z. B. von Rollenhandtüchern erforderlich.For this reason, agents with acidic and / or reducing constituents are added to the last rinsing bath, through which disruptive detergent and bleach residues are converted into non-disruptive compounds. In many cases it is also desirable that washed laundry has a pleasantly soft feel after drying; this is especially true for laundry that lies on the skin and for terry towels. Occasionally, bacteriostatic finishing of the textiles, e.g. B. roll towels required.
Aus diesem Grunde schließt sich häufig im letzten Spülbad eine Behandlung mit einem textilweichmachenden Mittel und/oder mit antibakteriellen Wirkstoffen in wäßriger Flotte oder beim anschließenden Trocknungsgang in einem automatischen Wäschetrockner an.For this reason, a treatment with a fabric softening agent and / or with antibacterial agents in aqueous liquor or in the subsequent drying cycle in an automatic tumble dryer is often followed in the last rinsing bath.
Die Wäschebehandlung erfordert im allgemeinen mehrere Arbeitsgänge für "Absäuern" (Neutralisieren) und "Antichlorieren" (Reduzieren) sowie Weichmachen bzw. antibakterielle Ausrüstung. Mittel und Verfahren, mit denen gleichzeitig ein Absäuern und Antichlorieren von frisch gewaschener Wäsche *sowie eine Nachbehandlung mit Textilweichmachern bzw. antibakteriellen Wirkstoffen in einem Arbeitsgang möglich ist, stellen daher für gewerbliche Wäschereien eine beträchtliche Versinfacbung der Wäschenachbehandlung dar.The laundry treatment generally requires several operations for "acidifying" (neutralizing) and "antichlorinating" (reducing) as well as softening or antibacterial treatment. Agents and processes with which acidification and antichlorination of freshly washed laundry * as well as post-treatment with textile softeners or antibacterial agents can be carried out in a single operation are therefore a considerable disadvantage of the post-washing treatment for commercial laundries.
Die aus den US-Patentschriften 3 193 505, 3 676 353, .3 925 230, 3 984 335, 4 053 423, 4 089 786, 4 115 281 und der deutschen Patentanmeldung P 29 04 876.8 bekannten Mittel und Verfahren erfüllen die Forderung nach einer gleichermaßen guten Weichmachung bzw. antibakteriellen Ausrüstung, Absäuerung und Antichlorierung in einem Arbeitsgang nicht oder nur unvollkommen, oder die Mittel lassen sich schlecht automatisch dosieren, da sie als , Pulver vorliegen. Das an sich - wegen der an gewerblichen Waschmaschinen üblicherweise vorhandenen Dosiereinrichtungen für flüssige Mittel - wünschenswerte Arbeiten mit flüssigen Nachbehandlungsnitteln, die man beispielsweise durch Auflösen von pulverförmigen Mitteln zu einer Vorratslösung herstellen könnte, scheitert meist an der schlechten Löslichkeit oder der ungenügenden Lösungs-oder Dispersionsstabilität der bekannten, für den Einsatz in gewerblichen Wäschereien vorgesehenen Nachbehandlungsmittel. Bekannte flüssige Mittel weisen nicht gleichzeitig absäuernde, antichlorierende und weichmachende Eigenschaften auf.The means and methods known from US Pat. Nos. 3,193,505, 3,676,353, .3,925,230, 3,984,335, 4,053,423, 4,089,786, 4,115,281 and German Patent Application P 29 04 876.8 meet the requirement an equally good softening or antibacterial treatment, acidification and antichlorination in one operation, or only incompletely, or the agents are difficult to dose automatically, since they are present as a powder. The desirable work with liquid aftertreatment agents, which can be produced, for example, by dissolving powdery agents into a stock solution, usually fails because of the poor solubility or the insufficient stability of the solution or dispersion of the - because of the metering devices for liquid agents usually present on commercial washing machines known aftertreatment agents intended for use in commercial laundries. Known liquid agents do not have acidifying, antichlorinating and softening properties at the same time.
In der DE-OS 32 05 317 ist ein flüssiges Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel beschrieben, das gleichzeitig textilweichmachende, absäuerende und antichlorierende Eigenschaften miteinander verbindet.. Die hier offenbarten Textilbehandlungsmittel enthalten neben quartären Ammoniumverbindungen mit textilweichmachender Wirkung Wasserstoffperoxid oder organische Percarbonsäuren als Reduktionsmittel für Chlor und Chlorverbindungen mit positiver Wertigkeit und zusätzlich Stabilisatoren für die Peroxi- Verbindungen, insbesondere das Wasserstoffperoxid. Durch Zugabe von Säuerungsmitteln, insbesondere Phosphorsäure oder saurer Salze der Phosphorsäure, aber auch andere anorganische und/oder organische Säuren bzw. Salze, wird der pH-wert des Mittels soweit gesenkt, daß er bei höchstens 4 liegt. Diese Mittel der DE-OS 32 05 317 können darüberhinaus übliche weitere Zusatzstoffe,beispielsweise antibakterielle Wirkstoffe enthalten. Beispiele für andere Zusatzstoffe sind Dispergatoren, Schaumregulatoren sowie Farb" und Duftstoffe. Als flüssiger Träger kommt Wasser evtl, mit Zusätzen organischer wassermischbarer Lösungsmittel in Betracht.DE-OS 32 05 317 describes a liquid laundry aftertreatment agent which simultaneously combines textile softening, acidifying and antichlorinating properties. The textile treatment agents disclosed here contain, in addition to quaternary ammonium compounds with textile softening action, hydrogen peroxide or organic percarboxylic acids as reducing agents for chlorine and chlorine compounds with positive value and additionally stabilizers for the peroxy compounds, especially the hydrogen peroxide. By adding acidifying agents, in particular phosphoric acid or acidic salts of phosphoric acid, but also other inorganic and / or organic acids or salts, the pH of the agent is lowered so that it is at most 4. These agents of DE-OS 32 05 317 can also contain other usual additives, for example antibacterial agents. Examples of other additives are dispersants, foam regulators, and colorants and fragrances. Water may be used as the liquid carrier, with additions of organic water-miscible solvents.
Die Erfindung geht von der Aufgabe aus die zuletzt geschilderten Mittel weiterhin zu verbessern. Insbesondere will die Erfindung die Lagerstabilität und damit die Gebrauchsdauer solcher Mittel verlängern.The invention is based on the task of further improving the means described last. In particular, the invention aims to extend the shelf life and thus the useful life of such agents.
Die Stoffgemische der geschilderten Art enthalten als einen wesentlichen Bestandteil Per-Verbindungen, insbesondere Wasserstoffperoxid. Mit Wasserstoffperoxid, quartären Ammoniumver- bindungen und einem sauren Agens, insbesondere Phosphorsäure bzw. Phosphorsäuresalzen, lassen sich bei gleichzeitiger Gegenwart eines Komplex bildners für Schwermetallionen bereits außerordentlich stabile Lösungen konfektionieren. Weiterführande Untersuchungen haben nun aber überraschender Weise gezeigt, daß bei Einsatz bzw. Mitverwendung ganz bestimmter Säuerungsmittel nochmals eine substantielle Veränderung der Lagerstabilität und damit der Gebrauchsdauer von Mitteln der geschilderten Art erreicht werden kann.The substance mixtures of the type described contain per-compounds, in particular hydrogen peroxide, as an essential constituent. With hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds and an acidic agent, in particular phosphoric acid or phosphoric acid salts, extremely stable solutions can already be assembled in the presence of a complexing agent for heavy metal ions. Further studies have now surprisingly shown that when using or using certain acidulants, there is again a substantial change in storage stability and thus the Service life of means of the type described can be achieved.
Gegenstand der Erfindung sind dementsprechend in einer ersten Ausführungsform flüssige Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel mit textilweichmachenden, absäuernden und antichlorierenden Eigenschaften, enthaltend in sauer eingestellter wäßriger Lösung Wasserstoffperoxid oder eine organische Percarbonsäure, Stabilisatoren für Peroxi-Verbindungen, textilweichmachende quartäre Ammoniumver- bindungen und Säuerungsmittel sowie gewünschtenfalls weitere !übliche Zusatzstoffe. Das Kennzeichen der neuen Lehre liegt darin, idaß als Säuerungsmittel wenigstens anteilsweise Hexafluorkieselsäure und/oder ihre wasserlöslichen Salze vorliegen. Bevorzugt beträgt die Menge der Hexafluorkieselsäure und/oder ihrer wasserlöslichen Salze im Wäschebehandlungsmittel etwa 1 bis 25 Gewichtsprozent, insbesondere etwa 5 bis 20 Gewichtsprozent. In einer wichtigen Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Hexafluorkieselsäure bzw. ihre Salze alleiniger oder überwiegender Be-;standteil zur Säuerung des Behandlungsmittels, wobei es auch hier bevorzugt ist im wäßrigen Nachbehandlungsmittel pH-Werte inicht oberhalb 4 einzustellen. Geeignete wasserlösliche Salze der Hexafluorkieselsäure sind beispielsweise entsprechende Salze der ersten bis dritten Gruppe des Periodischen Systems, das Ammoniumsalz der genannten Säure bzw. die entsprechenden amin- und/oder quartären Ammoniumsalze. Besonders geeignete Säuerungskomponenten können neben der Hexafluorkieselsäure ihre Natrium-, Kalium und/oder Ammoniumsalze, das Magnesium- und/oder das Zinksalz sein, wobei das Magnesiumsalz wegen seiner hervorragenden absäuernden und peroxidstabilisierenden Wirkung bevorzugt ist, Ganz besonders geeignete Mengen dieser Säuerungsmittel liegen im Bereich von etwa 8 bis 18 Gewichtsprozent.Accordingly, the invention relates in a first embodiment to liquid laundry aftertreatment agents with textile-softening, acidifying and antichlorizing properties, containing hydrogen peroxide or an organic percarboxylic acid, stabilizers for peroxy compounds, textile-softening quaternary ammonium compounds and acidifying agents and, if desired, other additives which are customary . The new teaching is characterized in that hexafluorosilicic acid and / or its water-soluble salts are present at least partially as acidifying agents. The amount of hexafluorosilicic acid and / or its water-soluble salts in the laundry treatment composition is preferably about 1 to 25 percent by weight, in particular about 5 to 20 percent by weight. In an important embodiment of the invention, the hexafluorosilicic acid or its salts are the sole or predominant constituent for acidifying the treatment agent, it also being preferred here not to set pH values above 4 in the aqueous aftertreatment agent. Suitable water-soluble salts of hexafluorosilicic acid are, for example, corresponding salts from the first to third groups of the periodic system, the ammonium salt of the acid mentioned or the corresponding amine and / or quaternary ammonium salts. In addition to hexafluorosilicic acid, particularly suitable acidifying components can be their sodium, potassium and / or ammonium salts, the magnesium and / or zinc salt, the magnesium salt being preferred because of its excellent acidifying and peroxide-stabilizing action. Particularly suitable amounts of these acidifying agents are in the range from about 8 to 18 weight percent.
Als textilweichmachende Wirkstoffen eignen sich die quartören Ammoniiumverbindungen mit vorzugsweise zwei langkettigen, vorzugsweise ge-!sättigten aliphatischen Resten mit je 14 bis 26, vorzugsweise 16 bis j 20 Kohlenstoffatomen und wenigstens einem quartärem Stickstoffatom im Molekül.The quaternary ammonium compounds with preferably two long-chain, preferably saturated aliphatic radicals each having 14 to 26, preferably 16 to 20 carbon atoms and at least one quaternary nitrogen atom in the molecule are suitable as fabric softening agents.
Die langicettigen aliphatischen Reste können geradkettig oder verzweigt sein und dementsprechend von Fettsäuren, bzw. von Fettaminen, Guerbetaminen, oder aus den durch Reduktion von Nitroparaffinen erhältlichen Alkylaminen abstammen. Bei diesen quartären Ammoniumverbindungen handelt es sich insbesondere um Derivate des Ammoniaks, d. h. um die durch Alkylierung von langkettigen sekundären Aminen erhältlichen quartären Salze, wie z. B. die Verbindungen Distearyldimethylammoniumchlorid bzw. Di- . talgalkyldimethylammoniumchlorid, oder um die durch Umsetzung von 1 Mol eines Aminoalkylethylendiamins oder Hydroxyalkylethylendiamins mit 2 Mol einer langkettigen C12-C26-Fettsäure oder deren Ester erhältlichen Imidazolinverbindungen, die anschließend durch Alkylierung in die quartären Imidazoliniumverbindungen überführt werden. In diesen quartären Ammoniumverbindungen besteht das Anion im allgemeinen aus dem Säurerest, der aus dem bei der Quaternierung verwendeten Alkylierungsmittel entstanden ist. Beispielsweise kommt als Anion daher Chlorid, Bromid, Methylsulfat, Ethylsulfat, Methan-, Ethan- oder Toluolsulfonat in Betracht. Neben diesen quartären Ammoniumverbindungen kommen als Textilweich-,macher auch die Kondensationsprodukte aus 1 - 3 Mol Fettsäurealkylester oder 1/3 - 1 Mol Fettsäuretriglycerid mit 1Nol eines Hydroxyalkylpo'yamins, beispielsweise Hydroxyethylethylendiamin oder Hydroxyethyldiethyle-n-triamin, in Betracht. Besonders geeignet ist das durch Umsetzung von 1 Mol eines Fettsäuretriglycerids, insbesondere gehärtetem Talg, mit 1 Mol Hydroxyethylethylen-d.iamin bei 90 - 150 dC erhältliche Produkt. Vorzugsweise wird als Textilweichmacher eine quartäre Ammoniunverbindung des Ammoniaktyps mit 2 C16-C20-Alkyl- oder Alkenylgruppen und 2 Methylgruppen im Molekül, und mit dem Chlorid-, Bromid- oder Methylsulfat-Anion, insbesondere das Distearyldimethylammoniumchlorid oder Ditalgalkyldimethylammoniumchlorid eingesetzt. Diese Wirkstoffe führen bei den behandelten Textilien zu einer gleichmäßigen markanten Griffverbesserung bei gleichzeitiger antistatischer Ausrüstung ohne Fleckenbildung.The long-chain aliphatic radicals can be straight-chain or branched and can accordingly be derived from fatty acids, or from fatty amines, Guerbetamines, or from the alkylamines obtainable by reduction of nitroparaffins. These quaternary ammonium compounds are, in particular, derivatives of ammonia, ie the quaternary salts obtainable by alkylation of long-chain secondary amines, such as, for. B. the compounds distearyldimethylammonium chloride or di. tallow alkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, or the imidazoline compounds obtainable by reacting 1 mole of an aminoalkyl ethylenediamine or hydroxyalkyl ethylenediamine with 2 moles of a long-chain C 12 -C 26 fatty acid or its ester, which are then converted into the quaternary imidazolinium compounds by alkylation. In these quaternary ammonium compounds, the anion generally consists of the acid residue which has arisen from the alkylating agent used in the quaternization. For example, chloride, bromide, methyl sulfate, ethyl sulfate, methane, ethane or toluenesulfonate are suitable as anions. In addition to these quaternary ammonium compounds, the condensates of 1-3 mols of fatty acid alkyl ester or 1/3-1 mol of fatty acid triglyceride with 1Nol of a hydroxyalkylpolyamine, for example hydroxyethylethylenediamine or hydroxyethyldiethyle-n-triamine, are also suitable as fabric softeners. Particularly suitable is obtained by reacting 1 mol of a fatty acid triglyceride, particularly hydrogenated tallow, with 1 mol of hydroxyethylethylene d.iamin at 90-150 C d available product. A quaternary ammonium compound of the ammonia type with 2 C 16 -C 20 alkyl or alkenyl groups and 2 methyl groups in the molecule, and with the chloride, bromide or methyl sulfate anion, in particular the distearyldimethylammonium chloride or ditalgalkyldimethylammonium chloride, is preferably used as the textile softener. These active ingredients lead to a uniform, striking improvement in the treated textiles with simultaneous antistatic finishing without staining.
Wäsche, die mit einem Bleichmittel auf Hypochlorit-Basis behandelt wurde, haftet häufig ein schwacher Chlorgeruch an. Zur Beseitigung dieses Chlorgeruchs der Wäschestücke enthält das erfindungsgemäße Mittel vorzugsweise Wasserstoffperoxid (H2O2) als antichlorierenden Bestandteil. Das H2O2 wirkt gegenüber dem stärkeren Oxidationsmittel Hypochlorit als Reduktionsmittel. Anstelle von H2O2 können auch organische Percarbonsäuren wie z. B. Diperazelainsäure oder Diperisophthalsäure eingesetzt werden.Laundry that has been treated with a hypochlorite-based bleach often has a slight smell of chlorine. To eliminate this chlorine odor from the laundry, the agent according to the invention preferably contains hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) as an antichlorinating component. The H 2 O 2 acts as a reducing agent compared to the stronger oxidizing agent hypochlorite. Instead of H 2 O 2 , organic percarboxylic acids such as. B. diperazelaic acid or diperisophthalic acid can be used.
Das Wasserstoffperoxid ist wegen seiner leichten Zugänglichkeit und weil es bei der Reduktion zu dem ohnehin anwesenden Wasser umgewandelt wird, bevorzugt. Ein weiterer Vorteil des H2O2 besteht darin, daß es keine festen Abla- gerungen bilden kann.The hydrogen peroxide is preferred because of its easy accessibility and because it is converted to the water which is present anyway upon reduction. Another advantage of H 2 O 2 is that it cannot form any solid deposits.
Zur Stabilisierung des erfindungsgemäßen Mittels gegenüber Schwermetall-; insbesondere Kupfer- und/oder Eisenionen enthält das Mittel einen Schwermetallkomplexbildner. Geeignete Komplexbildner sind z. B. Alkanpolyphosphonsäuren, Amino- und Hydroxyalkanpolyphosphonsäuren und Phosphonocarbonsäuren, wie z. B. die Verbindungen Methandiphosphonsäure, 1-Aminoethan-1,1-diphosphonsäure, Aminotrimethylentriphosphonsäure, 2-Phosphonobu-tan-1,2,4-tricarbonsäure und 1-Hydroxyethan-1,1-diphosphonsäure oder Aminopolycarbonsäuren wie z. B. Nitrilotriessigsäure, Ethylendiamintetraessigsäure oder Hydroxyethylethylendiamintriessigsäure bzw. deren Alkalisalze. Derartige Schwermetallkomplexbildner wirken auch einer durch Schwermetallionen im Spülwasser verursachten Vergilbungstendenz der Wäsche entgegen. Besonders gute stabilisierende Wirkung weist 1-Hydroxyethan-1,1-diphosphonsäure bzw. deren Alkalisalze auf.To stabilize the agent according to the invention against heavy metal; in particular copper and / or iron ions, the agent contains a heavy metal complexing agent. Suitable complexing agents are e.g. B. alkane polyphosphonic acids, amino and hydroxyalkane polyphosphonic acids and phosphonocarboxylic acids, such as. B. the compounds methanediphosphonic acid, 1-aminoethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, aminotrimethylene triphosphonic acid, 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid and 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid or aminopolycarboxylic acids such as. B. nitrilotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid or its alkali metal salts. Such heavy metal complexing agents also counteract a yellowing tendency of the laundry caused by heavy metal ions in the rinse water. 1-Hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid and its alkali salts have a particularly good stabilizing effect.
Werden neben der Hexafluorkieselsäure und/ihren wasserlöslichen Salzen weitere sauere Komponenten eingesetzt, so können anorganische und/oder organische Säuren bzw. entsprechende saure Salze mitverwendet werden. Insbesondere beim Arbeiten mit Wasserstoffperoxid ist die Auswahl von zusätzlichen Säuren bzw. sauren Salzen bevorzugt, die nicht ihrerseits mit dem Peroxid in Interaktion treten. Geeignet sind insbesondere die Orthophosphorsäure und/oder ihre sauren Salze, beispielsweise Natrium-dihydrogenphosphat.If, in addition to hexafluorosilicic acid and / or its water-soluble salts, further acidic components are used, inorganic and / or organic acids or corresponding acid salts can also be used. Especially when working with hydrogen peroxide, the choice of additional acids or acid salts is preferred, which do not in turn interact with the peroxide. Orthophosphoric acid and / or its acidic salts, for example sodium dihydrogen phosphate, are particularly suitable.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel können übliche weitere Zusatzstoffe enthalten. Ein Beispiel hierfür sind antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe. Darunter werden hier bakterizid oder bakteriostatisch bzw. fungizid oder fungistatisch wirkende Verbindungen verstanden. Diese Wirkstoffe sollen entweder als solche oder in Form ihrer Salze wasserlöslich sein. Bei den als Zusätze geeigneten antimikrobiellen Wirkstoffen handelt es sich z. B. um solche quartären Ammoniumverbindungen, die neben einem langkettigen aliphatischen und zwei kurzkettigen aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoffresten einen aromatischen, über ein aliphatisches Kohlenstoffatom mit dem Stickstoffatom verknüpften, oder einen aliphatischen, Doppelbindungen aufweisenden organischen Rest im Molekül enthalten. Beispiele für derartige antimikrobielle quartäre Ammoniumverbindungen sind die folgenden: Dimethyl-benzyl-dodecylammoniumchlorid, Dimethyl-benzyl-tetradecylammoniumchlorid, Dimethyl-(ethylbenzyl)-dodecyl-ammoniumchlorid, Dimethyl-benzyl-decylammoniumbromid, Diethyl-benzyl-dodecylammoniumehlorid, Diethyl-benzyl-octyl-ammoniumchlorid, Dibutylallyl-, Methyl-ethyl-benzyl-, Ethyl-cyclohexyl-allyl-, Ethyl-crotyl-diethylaminoethyl-dodecyl-ammoniumchlorid und insbesondere Kokosalkyldimethylbenzylammoniumchlorid. Auch Dimethyldidecylammoniumchlorid ist wirksam.The agents according to the invention can contain customary further additives. Antimicrobial agents are an example of this. Here, bactericidal or bacteriostatic or fungicidal or fungistatic compounds are understood. These active ingredients are said to be water-soluble either as such or in the form of their salts. The antimicrobial agents suitable as additives are e.g. For example, such quaternary ammonium compounds which, in addition to a long-chain aliphatic and two short-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals, contain an aromatic radical linked via an aliphatic carbon atom to the nitrogen atom, or an aliphatic organic radical having double bonds in the molecule. Examples of such antimicrobial quaternary ammonium compounds are the following: dimethyl-benzyl-dodecylammonium chloride, dimethyl-benzyl-tetradecylammonium chloride, dimethyl- (ethylbenzyl) -dodecyl-ammonium chloride, dimethyl-benzyl-decylammonium bromide, diethyl-benzyl-dodecylammylium diethylammonium ammonium chloride, dibutylallyl, methyl-ethyl-benzyl, ethyl-cyclohexyl-allyl, ethyl-crotyl-diethylaminoethyl-dodecyl-ammonium chloride and in particular cocoalkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride. Dimethyldidecylammonium chloride is also effective.
Daneben sind auch andere antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe einsetzbar, soweit sie in Gegenwart von Perverbindungen in saurem Medium beständig sind. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Betaine, wie z. B. Dodecyl-di(aminoethyl)-glycin. Andere brauchbare antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe sind z. B. Hexamethylen-bis-(chlorphenyl)-biguanid-diglu-conat bzw. -dihydrochlorid und Dodecylglycin.In addition, other antimicrobial agents can also be used, provided they are stable in the presence of per compounds in an acidic medium. These include, for example, betaines, such as. B. Dodecyl-di (aminoethyl) glycine. Other useful antimicrobial agents are e.g. B. hexamethylene bis (chlorophenyl) biguanide digluconate or dihydrochloride and dodecylglycine.
Als Dispergatoren, wie sie in rlen erfindungsgemäßen flüssigen Textilnachbehandlungsmitteln enthalten sein können, eignen sich insbesondere die nichtionischen Tenside ("Nonionics"). Dazu gehören Produkte, die ihre hydrophilen Eigenschaften der Anwesenheit von Polyetherketten, Aminoxid, Sulfoxid- oder Phosphinoxidgruppen, Alkylolaraidgruppierungen oder ganz allgemein einer Häufung von Hydroxylgruppen verdanken. Derartige Nonionics enthalten im Molekül wenigstens einen hydrophoben Rest mit 8 - 26, .vorzugsweise 10 - 20 und insbesondere 12 - 18 Kohlenstoffatomen, und wenigstens eine nichtionische, wasserlöslichmachende Gruppe. Der vorzugsweise gesättigte hydrophobe Rest ist meist aliphatischer, gegebenenfalls auch alicyclischer Natur; er kann mit den wasserlöslichmachenden Gruppen direkt oder über Zwischenglieder verbunden sein. Als Zwischenglieder kommen z. B. Benzolringe, Carbonsäureester- oder Carbonamidgruppen, ether- oder esterartig gebundene Reste mehrwertiger Alkohole, wie z. B. die des Ethylenglykols, des Propylenglykols, des Glycerins oder entsprechender Polyetherreste infrage. Typische, als Dispergatoren bevorzugte Nonionics sind z. B. die Anlagerungsprodukte von ca. 9 Mol Ethylenoxid an No-nylphenol oder an Dodecylalkohol, Polyethylenglykole mit bis zu 50-Ethoxy-Einheiten oder Polyethoxy-polypropoxy-glykole mit bis zu 20 Ethoxy- bzw. Propoxy-Einheiten.The nonionic surfactants ("nonionics") are particularly suitable as dispersants, as they can be contained in liquid textile aftertreatment agents according to the invention. These include products that owe their hydrophilic properties to the presence of polyether chains, amine oxide, sulfoxide or phosphine oxide groups, alkylolar groups or, in general, an accumulation of hydroxyl groups. Such nonionics contain at least one hydrophobic radical with 8-26, preferably 10-20 and in particular 12-18 carbon atoms in the molecule, and at least one nonionic, water-solubilizing group. The preferably saturated hydrophobic residue is usually aliphatic, possibly also alicyclic in nature; it can be connected to the water-solubilizing groups directly or via intermediate links. As intermediate links come z. B. benzene rings, carboxylic acid ester or carbonamide groups, ether or ester-bonded residues of polyhydric alcohols, such as. B. that of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol or corresponding polyether radicals in question. Typical nonionics preferred as dispersants are e.g. B. the adducts of about 9 moles of ethylene oxide with N o -nylphenol or with dodecyl alcohol, polyethylene glycols up to 50-ethoxy units or polyethoxy-polypropoxy-glycols with up to 20 ethoxy or propoxy units.
