Definitions
- the alkylphenol ethoxylates used to a large extent as nonionic surfactant components have a considerably better cold behavior (lower pour point and cold cloud point) than comparable ethoxylates based on linear fatty alcohols.
- the nonylphenol-10 EO adduct (NP-10) in particular is characterized by such excellent application properties that it has a universally applicable surfactant for detergents and cleaning agents, but also an emulsifier for a large number of technical applications.
- this surfactant has very good degreasing properties, both on metal and on textile fabric. Because of these favorable properties, NP-10 is by far the most important representative in terms of quantity from the class of alkylphenol ethoxylates.
- alkylphenol ethoxylates give cause for concern, so that considerable efforts are being made to at least partially replace these technologically high-quality surfactant components by components with better environmental compatibility.
- Alkoxylated fatty alcohols of natural and / or synthetic origin are particularly suitable for this.
- ether alcohols of the latter type only have the hydrophilicity values desired in practice - cloud point, for example, in the range from about 50 to 60 ° C. - only in those embodiments in which the ether alcohols as such are solid at room temperature.
- the invention is based on the object of providing surfactant mixtures based on alkoxylated straight-chain and / or branched primary alcohols, in particular corresponding linear fatty alcohols, which are still liquid at low temperatures, for example at temperatures down to 5 ° C., and a can provide high surfactant performance.
- the invention has in particular the task of creating a surfactant mixture which is similar in its essential technological properties to the NP-10 and which are constructed exclusively on the basis of environmentally compatible components.
- the mixture according to the invention is prepared in a manner known per se by two-stage alkoxylation of the alcohol mixture, propylene oxide being added in the first stage and ethylene oxide being added in the second stage.
- the starting alcohols are primarily mixtures obtained from coconut fatty alcohols, from which the majority of C12-C16 alcohols have been removed by distillation. Mixtures obtained from synthetic fatty alcohols, for example oxo alcohols, can also be used as starting materials. Such alcohols generally contain a proportion of alcohols branched methyl in the 2-position. However, preference is given to using the mixtures obtained from native alcohols, in which the alkyl radicals differ in each case by 2 carbon atoms.
- the alkoxylation can be carried out in the presence of acidic or alkaline catalysts.
- Alkaline catalysts such as hydroxides or alcoholates of potassium or sodium, are preferably used. Examples include NaOH, KOH, sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, potassium methylate and potassium ethylate.
- the hydroxides and alcoholates can be used in alcoholic solution, after which the solution alcohol is removed by distillation before the alkoxylation. Usually 0.5 to 5%, preferably 1 to 3% catalyst, based on the starting material, is used.
- the alkoxylation can be carried out at normal pressure by introducing the alkylene oxides into the alcohol mixture.
- an autoclave under an increased initial pressure, for example an initial pressure of 2 to 10 bar, preferably 3 to 6 bar.
- the pressure then drops to normal pressure.
- the temperature of the alcohol to be alkoxylated is generally 80 to 200 ° C, usually 100 to 180 ° C.
- the alkoxylate can generally be used directly. If the small catalyst residues interfere, they can be neutralized, for example wise by adding organic acids such as acetic acid or citric acid.
- carbon dioxide can also be pressed into the autoclave and the precipitated alkali carbonate can be filtered off.
- Alkoxylated fatty alcohols in the production of which first propylene oxide and then ethylene oxide are added, are known per se. However, they differ considerably in the composition of the radical R from the mixtures according to the invention.
- US Pat. No. 2,174,761 describes products which in some cases have considerably higher proportions of PO and are derived from cetyl or dodecyl alcohol. These have much higher solidification areas and are less biodegradable.
- DE 27 24 349-A1 describes spray-dried detergents which contain nonionic surfactants of a similar constitution, the alkyl radicals preferably having 12 to 18 carbon atoms and not consisting of mixtures with a predominant content of C9 to C10 alkyl radicals.
- DE 28 10 703-A1 describes nonionic surfactants in a different order of the PO and EO groups.
- a comparative experiment in which a mixed alcohol reacted with 4 mol PO and 15 mol EO with 43% C12-alkyl residues and 57% C13-alkyl residues (78% linear, 22% methyl branched) was examined, shows a comparatively high freezing point and an unfavorable washing result , which is why it was not to be expected that the mixtures according to the invention would offer significant advantages in this regard.
- DE 32 32 616 discloses liquid detergents which contain mixtures of nonionic surfactants with a comparable molecular structure. However, these alkoxylates are preferably derived from alcohols having 12 to 18 carbon atoms or mixtures of cetyl, oleyl and stearyl alcohol mixtures. Surfactant mixtures of the composition according to the invention are neither disclosed nor suggested.
- the nonionic surfactant mixture according to the invention is equivalent to the highest quality alkylphenol ethoxylates. This applies both to the compounds alone and to their mixtures with other additives and auxiliaries, as are usually used in detergents, cleaners, emulsifiers and dispersants.
- the invention therefore relates to the replacement of nonylphenol-9- or 10 EO by the surfactant mixture defined according to the invention in known solid and liquid preparations, in particular detergents, wetting agents and dispersants.
- liquid nonionic surfactants can also be combined with other readily biodegradable nonionic compounds.
- Suitable additives are, for example, ethoxylates derived from primary alcohols or alkylamines having 10 to 18, in particular 10 to 14, carbon atoms and having an average of 1 to 4, preferably 2 to 3, EO groups.
- the mixing ratio with these additives can be 1: 2 to 10: 1.
- the composite compositions can be in solid or granular or in liquid form.
- liquid washing, rinsing and cleaning agents for which the alkoxylates according to the invention are particularly suitable on account of their low cloud temperatures and favorable solution properties.
- Solid detergents can, for example, have the following composition (in% by weight of anhydrous substance): 0.5 to 25%, preferably 1 to 20%, of the nonionic surfactant mixture according to the invention, 0 to 25%, preferably 2 to 20%, of anionic surfactants from the class of alkali soaps and sulfonate surfactants, in particular C 9-13 alkylbenzenesulfonates, alphasulfofatty acid salts, alphasulfofatty acid alkyl ester salts and alkanesulfonates each having 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the aliphatic radical, 0 to 10% of non-ionic C 10-18 alcohol ethoxylates containing 2 to 15 EO groups, 10 to 70%, preferably 20 to 50%, of builder salts from the class of the phosphates, polyphosphates, carbonates, silicates of sodium, sodium nitrilotriacetate and finely divided zeolite of the NaA type, 0.1 to 5% of complexing
- Liquid assets include, for example 5 to 30%, preferably 8 to 25%, of the nonionic surfactant mixture according to the invention, 0 to 20%, preferably 2 to 15% of the aforementioned anionic surfactants, 0 to 10% of the aforementioned nonionic alcohol ethoxylates, 0.1 to 4%, preferably 0.2 to 2% of the aforementioned polyphosphonates, 0 to 2% of optical brighteners, Balance water, organic solvents and hydrotropes.

- the agents according to the invention are able to replace the ethoxylated nonylphenol without any noticeable loss of activity.
- the combination according to Examples 2 and 4 is superior to the comparative product.
- product A according to the invention achieved a carbon breakdown of over 70% and are therefore considered to be easily biodegradable.
- Nonylphenol with 9 EO or 10 EO does not reach this value.
- the degradability was over 80% (value found over 96%).
- TA-5/10 EO is a 1: 1 mixture of C 16-18 tallow alcohol with 5 EO and 10 EO

Abstract
Description
Die heute im großen Umfang als nichtionische Tensidkomponenten eingesetzten Alkylphenolethoxylate besitzen ein erheblich besseres Kälteverhalten (tieferer Stockpunkt und Kältetrübungspunkt) als vergleichbare Ethoxylate auf Basis linearer Fettalkohole. Im Bereich der Alkylphenolethoxylate zeichnet sich insbesondere das Nonylphenol-10 EO-Addukt (NP-10) durch so hervorragende anwendungstechnische Eigenschaften aus, daß hier ein universell einsetzbares Tensid für Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel, aber auch ein Emulgator für eine Vielzahl von technischen Anwendungszwecken vorliegt. Darüber hinaus verfügt dieses Tensid über sehr gute entfettende Eigenschaften, sowohl an Metall als auch an textilem Gewebe. Aufgrund dieser günstigen Eigenschaften ist heute NP-10 der mit Abstand mengenmäßig bedeutendste Vertreter aus der Substanzklasse der Alkylphenolethoxylate.The alkylphenol ethoxylates used to a large extent as nonionic surfactant components have a considerably better cold behavior (lower pour point and cold cloud point) than comparable ethoxylates based on linear fatty alcohols. In the area of alkylphenol ethoxylates, the nonylphenol-10 EO adduct (NP-10) in particular is characterized by such excellent application properties that it has a universally applicable surfactant for detergents and cleaning agents, but also an emulsifier for a large number of technical applications. In addition, this surfactant has very good degreasing properties, both on metal and on textile fabric. Because of these favorable properties, NP-10 is by far the most important representative in terms of quantity from the class of alkylphenol ethoxylates.
Nachteilig ist, daß die Umweltverträglichkeit dieser Alkylphenolethoxylate Anlaß zu Bedenken gibt, sodaß beträchtliche Bemühungen bestehen, wenigstens anteilig diese technologisch an sich hochwertige Tensidkomponente durch Komponenten mit besserer Umweltverträglichkeit zu ersetzen. Hierfür bieten sich insbesondere alkoxylierte Fettalkohole natürlicher und/oder synthetischen Ursprungs an. Ihr Einsatz bietet jedoch die folgende Schwierigkeit: Etheralkohole der zuletzt genannten Art besitzen die in der Praxis gewünschten Hydrophiliewerte - Trübungspunkt beispielsweise im Bereich von etwa 50 bis 60 °C - erst in solchen Ausführungsformen, in denen die Etheralkohole als solche bei Raumtemperatur fest sind. Hier liegt für die Praxis eine ent scheidende Einschränkung in dem Versuch des Austausches der Alkylphenol-Addukte gegen Addukte primärer Fettalkohole.It is disadvantageous that the environmental compatibility of these alkylphenol ethoxylates gives cause for concern, so that considerable efforts are being made to at least partially replace these technologically high-quality surfactant components by components with better environmental compatibility. Alkoxylated fatty alcohols of natural and / or synthetic origin are particularly suitable for this. However, their use presents the following difficulty: ether alcohols of the latter type only have the hydrophilicity values desired in practice - cloud point, for example, in the range from about 50 to 60 ° C. - only in those embodiments in which the ether alcohols as such are solid at room temperature. In practice there is an ent Limiting restriction in the attempt to replace the alkylphenol adducts with adducts of primary fatty alcohols.
Die Erfindung geht von der Aufgabe aus, Tensidmischungen auf der Basis von alkoxylierten geradkettigen und/oder verzweigten primären Alkoholen, insbesondere entsprechenden linearen Fettalkoholen, zur Verfügung stellen, die noch bei niedrigen Temperaturen, beispielsweise bei Temperaturen bis herunter zu 5 °C flüssig sind und eine hohe Tensidleistung zur Verfügung stellen können. Die Erfindung hat sich insbesondere die Aufgabe gestellt, ein Tensidgemisch zu schaffen, das in seinen wesentlichen technologischen Eigenschaften dem NP-10 gleicht und ausschließlich auf Basis umweltverträglicher Komponenten aufgebaut sind.The invention is based on the object of providing surfactant mixtures based on alkoxylated straight-chain and / or branched primary alcohols, in particular corresponding linear fatty alcohols, which are still liquid at low temperatures, for example at temperatures down to 5 ° C., and a can provide high surfactant performance. The invention has in particular the task of creating a surfactant mixture which is similar in its essential technological properties to the NP-10 and which are constructed exclusively on the basis of environmentally compatible components.
Gegenstand der Erfindung sind dementsprechend bei Raumtemperatur flüssige Tensidmischungen auf Basis von polyalkoxylierten Alkoholen mit hoher Tensidleistung, bestehend aus einem geradkettigen oder in 2-Stellung methyl-verzweigten Etheralkohol der allgemeinen Formel
R - O - (PO)1-2- (EO)6-8- H
in der PO den Rest des ringgeöffneten Propylenoxids und EO den Rest des ringgeöffneten Ethylenoxids bedeuten, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Alkyl- bzw. Alkenylreste R wie folgt zusammengesetzt sind: C₈ = 0 bis 5 Gew.-%, C9-10= 75 bis 90 Gew.-%, C11-12= 5 bis 15 Gew.-%, C13-14= 4 bis 10 Gew.-% und C15-16= 0 bis 3 Gew.-%.The invention accordingly relates to surfactant mixtures which are liquid at room temperature and are based on polyalkoxylated alcohols with a high surfactant output, consisting of a straight-chain or ether alcohol of the general formula which is methyl-branched in the 2-position
R - O - (PO) 1-2 - (EO) 6-8 - H
in the PO the rest of the ring-opened propylene oxide and EO the rest of the ring-opened ethylene oxide, characterized in that the alkyl or alkenyl radicals R are composed as follows: C₈ = 0 to 5% by weight, C 9-10 = 75 to 90% by weight, C 11-12 = 5 to 15% by weight, C 13-14 = 4 to 10% by weight and C 15-16 = 0 to 3% by weight.
Vorzugsweise steht R für lineare Alkylreste folgender Zusammensetzung:
C₈ = 0 bis 2 Gew.-%, C₁₀ = 80 bis 84 Gew.-%, C₁₂ = 7 bis 12 Gew.-%, C₁₄ = 6 bis 8 Gew.-% und C15-16= 0 bis 1 Gew.-%.R preferably represents linear alkyl radicals of the following composition:
C₈ = 0 to 2% by weight, C₁₀ = 80 to 84% by weight, C₁₂ = 7 to 12% by weight, C₁₄ = 6 to 8% by weight and C 15-16 = 0 to 1% by weight. -%.
Die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Gemisches erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise durch zweistufige Alkoxylierung des Alkoholgemisches, wobei in der 1. Stufe Propylenoxid und in der 2. Stufe Ethylenoxid angelagert wird. Als Ausgangsalkohole kommen in erster Linie aus Cocosfettalkoholen gewonnene Gemische, von denen der Hauptanteil an C₁₂-C₁₆-Alkoholen destillativ abgetrennt worden sind. Ferner können auch aus synthetischen Fettalkoholen gewonnene Gemische, beispielsweise Oxoalkohole, als Ausgangsstoffe verwendet werden. Derartige Alkohole enthalten in der Regel einen Anteil an in 2-Stellung methylverzweigten Alkoholen. Vorzugsweise werden jedoch die aus nativen Alkoholen gewonnenen Gemische verwendet, in denen sich die Alkylreste jeweils um 2 C-Atome unterscheiden.The mixture according to the invention is prepared in a manner known per se by two-stage alkoxylation of the alcohol mixture, propylene oxide being added in the first stage and ethylene oxide being added in the second stage. The starting alcohols are primarily mixtures obtained from coconut fatty alcohols, from which the majority of C₁₂-C₁₆ alcohols have been removed by distillation. Mixtures obtained from synthetic fatty alcohols, for example oxo alcohols, can also be used as starting materials. Such alcohols generally contain a proportion of alcohols branched methyl in the 2-position. However, preference is given to using the mixtures obtained from native alcohols, in which the alkyl radicals differ in each case by 2 carbon atoms.
Die Alkoxylierung kann, wie bekannt, in Gegenwart saurer oder alkalischer Katalysatoren durchgeführt werden. Vorzugsweise werden alkalische Katalysatoren, wie Hydroxide oder Alkoholate des Kaliums oder Natriums eingesetzt. Beispiele hierfür sind NaOH, KOH, Natriummethylat, Natriumethylat, Kaliummethylat und Kaliumethylat. Zwecks schnellerer und homogenerer Verteilung im Substrat können die Hydroxide und Alkoholate in alkoholischer Lösung eingesetzt werden, worauf man den Lösungs-Alkohol vor der Alkoxylierung destillativ entfernt. Üblicherweise werden 0,5 bis 5 %, bevorzugt 1 bis 3 % Katalysator, auf Ausgangsmaterial bezogen, eingesetzt. Die Alkoxylierung kann bei Normaldruck durch Einleiten der Alkylenoxide in das Alkoholgemisch erfolgen. Bevorzugt wird sie jedoch im Autoklaven unter erhöhtem Anfangsdruck beispielsweise einem Anfangsdruck von 2 bis 10 bar, vorzugsweise 3 bis 6 bar, durchgeführt. Mit fortschreitender Umsetzung sinkt dann der Druck bis auf Normaldruck ab. Die Temperatur des zu alkoxylierenden Alkohols beträgt im allgemeinen 80 bis 200 °C, meist 100 bis 180 °C. Das Alkoxylat kann in der Regel unmittelbar verwendet werden. Falls die geringen Katalysator-Reste stören, können sie neutralisiert werden, beispiels weise durch Zusatz organischer Säuren, wie Essigsäure oder Zitronensäure. Man kann auch nach Abschluß der Alkoxylierung Kohlendioxid in den Autoklaven pressen und das sich abscheidende Alkalicarbonat abfiltrieren.As is known, the alkoxylation can be carried out in the presence of acidic or alkaline catalysts. Alkaline catalysts, such as hydroxides or alcoholates of potassium or sodium, are preferably used. Examples include NaOH, KOH, sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, potassium methylate and potassium ethylate. For faster and more homogeneous distribution in the substrate, the hydroxides and alcoholates can be used in alcoholic solution, after which the solution alcohol is removed by distillation before the alkoxylation. Usually 0.5 to 5%, preferably 1 to 3% catalyst, based on the starting material, is used. The alkoxylation can be carried out at normal pressure by introducing the alkylene oxides into the alcohol mixture. However, it is preferably carried out in an autoclave under an increased initial pressure, for example an initial pressure of 2 to 10 bar, preferably 3 to 6 bar. As the implementation progresses, the pressure then drops to normal pressure. The temperature of the alcohol to be alkoxylated is generally 80 to 200 ° C, usually 100 to 180 ° C. The alkoxylate can generally be used directly. If the small catalyst residues interfere, they can be neutralized, for example wise by adding organic acids such as acetic acid or citric acid. After the alkoxylation has ended, carbon dioxide can also be pressed into the autoclave and the precipitated alkali carbonate can be filtered off.
Alkoxylierte Fettalkohole, bei deren Herstellung zunächst Propylenoxid und anschließend Ethylenoxid angelagert werden, sind an sich bekannt. Sie unterscheiden sich jedoch hinsichtlich der Zusammensetzung des Restes R ganz erheblich von den erfindungsgemäßen Gemischen. So werden in US 2,174,761 Produkte beschrieben, die teilweise erheblich höhere Anteile an PO aufweisen und sich von Cetyl- bzw. Dodecylalkohol ableiten. Diese weisen wesentlich höhere Erstarrungsbereiche auf und sind schlechter biologisch abbaubar. Die DE 27 24 349-A1 beschreibt sprühgetrocknete Waschmittel, die nichtionische Tenside ähnlicher Konstitution enthalten, wobei die Alkylreste bevorzugt 12 bis 18 C-Atome aufweisen und nicht aus Gemischen mit einem überwiegenden Gehalt an C₉- bis C₁₀-Alkylresten bestehen. Das gleiche gilt für die in DE 28 37 504-C2 beschriebenen Waschmittelgranulate. In der DE 28 10 703-A1 werden nichtionogene Tenside mit anderer Reihenfolge der PO- und EO-Gruppen beschrieben. Ein Vergleichsversuch, in dem ein mit 4 Mol PO und 15 Mol EO umgesetzter Mischalkohol mit 43 % C₁₂-Alkylresten und 57 % C₁₃-Alkylresten (78 % linear, 22 % methylverzweigt) untersucht wurde, läßt einen vergleichsweise hohen Erstarrungspunkt sowie ein ungünstigeres Waschergebnis erkennen, weshalb nicht zu erwarten war, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Gemische in dieser Hinsicht wesentliche Vorteile bieten würden. Schließlich sind aus DE 32 32 616 flüssige Waschmittel bekannt, die Gemische von nichtionischen Tensiden mit vergleichbarem Molekülaufbau enthalten. Diese Alkoxylate leiten sich jedoch bevorzugt von Alkoholen mit 12 bis 18 C-Atomen bzw. Gemischen aus Cetyl-, Oleyl- und Stearylalkohol-Gemischen ab. Tensidgemische der erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung sind weder offenbart noch nahegelegt.Alkoxylated fatty alcohols, in the production of which first propylene oxide and then ethylene oxide are added, are known per se. However, they differ considerably in the composition of the radical R from the mixtures according to the invention. For example, US Pat. No. 2,174,761 describes products which in some cases have considerably higher proportions of PO and are derived from cetyl or dodecyl alcohol. These have much higher solidification areas and are less biodegradable. DE 27 24 349-A1 describes spray-dried detergents which contain nonionic surfactants of a similar constitution, the alkyl radicals preferably having 12 to 18 carbon atoms and not consisting of mixtures with a predominant content of C₉ to C₁₀ alkyl radicals. The same applies to the detergent granules described in DE 28 37 504-C2. DE 28 10 703-A1 describes nonionic surfactants in a different order of the PO and EO groups. A comparative experiment, in which a mixed alcohol reacted with 4 mol PO and 15 mol EO with 43% C₁₂-alkyl residues and 57% C₁₃-alkyl residues (78% linear, 22% methyl branched) was examined, shows a comparatively high freezing point and an unfavorable washing result , which is why it was not to be expected that the mixtures according to the invention would offer significant advantages in this regard. Finally, DE 32 32 616 discloses liquid detergents which contain mixtures of nonionic surfactants with a comparable molecular structure. However, these alkoxylates are preferably derived from alcohols having 12 to 18 carbon atoms or mixtures of cetyl, oleyl and stearyl alcohol mixtures. Surfactant mixtures of the composition according to the invention are neither disclosed nor suggested.
Von besonderem Vorteil, insbesondere gegenüber alkoxylierten Alkylphenolen ist die sehr gute biologische Abbaufähigkeit, die oberhalb 96 % liegt. Hinsichtlich der anwendungstechnischen Eigenschaften sind die erfindungsgemäßen nichtionischen Tensidmischung der hochwertigsten Alkylphenolethoxylaten equivalent. Dies gilt sowohl für die Verbindungen allein als auch für ihre Gemische mit anderen Zusatz- und Hilfsstoffen, wie sie in Wasch-, Reinigungs-, Emulgier- und Dispergiermitteln üblicherweise verwendet werden.Of particular advantage, especially compared to alkoxylated alkylphenols, is the very good biodegradability, which is above 96%. With regard to the performance properties, the nonionic surfactant mixture according to the invention is equivalent to the highest quality alkylphenol ethoxylates. This applies both to the compounds alone and to their mixtures with other additives and auxiliaries, as are usually used in detergents, cleaners, emulsifiers and dispersants.
Die Erfindung betrifft daher in einer weiteren Ausführungsform den Ersatz von Nonylphenol-9- bzw. 10 EO durch das erfindungsgemäß definierte Tensidgemisch in bekannten festen und flüssigen Zubereitungen insbesondere Waschmitteln, Netzmitteln und Dispergiermitteln.In a further embodiment, the invention therefore relates to the replacement of nonylphenol-9- or 10 EO by the surfactant mixture defined according to the invention in known solid and liquid preparations, in particular detergents, wetting agents and dispersants.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung können die flüssigen nichtionischen Tenside auch mit weiteren biologisch gut abbaufähigen nichtionischen Verbindungen kombiniert werden. Mit solchen Kombinationen kann die Waschleistung noch weiter gesteigert werden, ohne Nachteile hinsichtlich der sonstigen positiven Eigenschaften in Kauf nehmen zu müssen. Geeignete Zusätze sind beispielsweise von primären Alkoholen oder Alkylaminen mit 10 bis 18, insbesondere 10 bis 14 C-Atomen abgeleitete Ethoxylate mit durchschnittlich 1 bis 4, vorzugsweise 2 bis 3 EO-Gruppen. Das Mischungsverhältnis mit diesen Zusätzen kann 1 : 2 bis 10 : 1 betragen. Darüber hinaus können sie bei Einsatz in Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel mit bekannten anionischen, nichtionischen, ampholytischen zwitterionischen und kationischen Tensiden, Gerüstsalzen, Sequestrierungsmitteln, Bleichmitteln, Vergrauungsinhibitoren, Avivagewirkstoffen, Schauminhibitoren und sonstigen in solchen Mitteln üblicherweise eingesetzten Wirkstoffen kombiniert werden. Die zusammengesetzten Mittel können in fester bzw. körniger oder in flüssiger Form vorliegen. Von besonderem Interesse sind im vorliegenden Fall flüssige Wasch-, Spül- und Reinigungsmittel, für solche die erfindungsgemäßen Alkoxylate aufgrund ihrer niedrigen Trübungstemperaturen und günstigen Lösungseigenschaften besonders geeignet sind.In a further embodiment of the invention, the liquid nonionic surfactants can also be combined with other readily biodegradable nonionic compounds. With such combinations, the washing performance can be increased even further without having to accept disadvantages with regard to the other positive properties. Suitable additives are, for example, ethoxylates derived from primary alcohols or alkylamines having 10 to 18, in particular 10 to 14, carbon atoms and having an average of 1 to 4, preferably 2 to 3, EO groups. The mixing ratio with these additives can be 1: 2 to 10: 1. In addition, when used in detergents and cleaning agents, they can be combined with known anionic, nonionic, ampholytic zwitterionic and cationic surfactants, skeletal salts, sequestering agents, bleaching agents, graying inhibitors, anti-aging agents, foam inhibitors and other active ingredients conventionally used in such agents.

Es wurde eine Waschmittelrezeptur folgender Zusammensetzung verwendet, in der 3 % Nonylphenol+10 EO (NP-10) enthalten sind und durch Produkt A ersetzt wurden. Das ethoxylierte C₁₂-C₁₄-Amin+2 EO war ein aus Kokosfettsäuren hergestelltes Produkt.
Waschmaschine mit horizontal angeordneter Trommel (Miele U 433); Einlaugen-Programm; 60 °C; Konzentration 5 g/l; Wasserhärte 16 °dH; 3maliges Nachspülen und Schleudern; Textilproben aus Baumwolle (B), Polyester (PE) und Mischgewebe aus Polyester-Baumwolle (PE/B), jeweils angeschmutzt mit einer Staub-Hautfett-Kombination; 0,3 kg Testgewebe und 3 kg saubere Füllwäsche; photometrische Auswertung
In einer zweiten Versuchsreihe wurden mit Staub und Hautfett angeschmutzte Wollsträngchen bei 30 °C und einer Waschmittelkonzentration von 1,8 g/l eines Waschmittels nachstehender Zusammensetzung gewaschen.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel vermögen hinsichtlich ihrer Waschkraft das ethoxylierte Nonylphenol ohne nennenswerte Wirkungseinbuße zu ersetzen. Die Kombination gemäß Beispiel 2 und 4 ist dem Vergleichsprodukt überlegen.With regard to their washing power, the agents according to the invention are able to replace the ethoxylated nonylphenol without any noticeable loss of activity. The combination according to Examples 2 and 4 is superior to the comparative product.
Im modifizierten OECD-Screening-Test erreichten das erfindungsgemäße Produkt A einen Kohlenstoff-Abbau von über 70 % und gelten daher als biologisch leicht abbaubar. Nonylphenol mit 9 EO bzw. 10 EO erreicht diesen Wert nicht. Nach den Kriterien der "Verordnung über die Abbaubarkeit anionischer und nichtionischer Stoffe in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln" vom 30.01.1977 lag die Abbaubarkeit bei über 80 % (gefundener Wert über 96 %).In the modified OECD screening test, product A according to the invention achieved a carbon breakdown of over 70% and are therefore considered to be easily biodegradable. Nonylphenol with 9 EO or 10 EO does not reach this value. According to the criteria of the "Ordinance on the Degradability of Anionic and Nonionic Substances in Washing and Cleaning Agents" of January 30, 1977, the degradability was over 80% (value found over 96%).

Es wurden Allzweckreiniger folgender Zusammensetzung hergestellt und deren Reinigungswirkung in der für diese Produktkategorie üblichen Anwendungskonzentration geprüft.
Die Bestimmung des Reinigungsvermögens erfolgte nach den Qualitätsnormen des Industrieverbandes Putz- und Pflegemittel, veröffentlicht in Seifen, Öle, Fette, Wachse. 108, Nr. 16, S. 527 (1982).The cleaning ability was determined according to the quality standards of the industrial association cleaning and care products, published in soaps, oils, fats, waxes. 108 , No. 16, p. 527 (1982).
Zur Prüfung der Reinigungswirkung wurde das zu prüfende Reinigungsmittel in 1 %iger wäßriger Lösung auf eine künstlich angeschmutzte PVC-Kunststoffoberfläche gegeben. Als künstliche Anschmutzung wurde ein Gemisch aus Ruß, Maschinenöl, Triglycerid gesättigter Fettsäuren und niedersiedendem aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoff verwendet. Die Testfläche von 26 × 28 cm wurde mit Hilfe eines Flächenstreichers gleichmäßig mit 2 g der künstlichen Anschmutzung beschichtet.To test the cleaning effect, the cleaning agent to be tested was placed in a 1% aqueous solution on an artificially soiled PVC plastic surface. A mixture of carbon black, machine oil, triglyceride of saturated fatty acids and low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon was used as artificial soiling. The test area of 26 × 28 cm was evenly coated with 2 g of the artificial soiling with the aid of a surface coater.
Ein Kunststoffschwamm wurde jeweils mit 20 ml der zu prüfenden Reinigungsmittellösung getränkt und maschinell auf der Testfläche bewegt. Nach 6 Wischbewegungen wurde die gereinigte Testfläche unter fließendes Wasser gehalten und der lose sitzende Schmutz entfernt. Die Reinigungswirkung, d. h. der Weißgrad der so gereinigten Kunststoffoberläche wurde mit einem photoelektrischen Farbmeßgerät LF 90 (Dr. B. Lange) gemessen. Als Weißstandard diente die saubere weiße Kunststoffoberfläche.A plastic sponge was impregnated with 20 ml of the detergent solution to be tested and moved mechanically on the test surface. After 6 wiping movements, the cleaned test area was kept under running water and the loose dirt was removed. The cleaning effect, d. H. the whiteness of the plastic surface cleaned in this way was measured using an LF 90 photoelectric colorimeter (Dr. B. Lange). The clean white plastic surface served as the white standard.
Da bei der Messung der sauberen Oberfläche auf 100 % eingestellt und die angeschmutzte Fläche mit 0 angezeigt wurde, waren die abgelesenen Werte bei den gereinigten Kunststoff-Flächen mit dem Prozentgehalt Reinigungsvermögen (% RV) gleichzusetzen.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß NP10 nur in Rezepturen mit hohem Tensidanteil den erfindungsgemäßen Mitteln geringfügig überlegen ist, bei sparsamer Anwendung aber deren Reinigungswirkung nur knapp erreicht.The results show that NP10 is only slightly superior to the agents according to the invention in formulations with a high surfactant content, but only scarcely achieves their cleaning effect when used sparingly.
Es wurden flüssige Scheuermittel der unten angeführten Zusammensetzung hergestellt und auf ihre Reinigungswirkung geprüft. Das Prüfverfahren war identisch mit dem bei der Prüfung von Allzweckreinigern verwendeten Verfahren. Da flüssige Scheuermittel angewendet werden, wurde zusätzlich zu dem bereits genannten, vorwiegend Fett enthaltenden Testschmutz ein schwieriger zu entfernender, vorwiegend Pigmente enthaltender Test schmutz eingesetzt. Letzterer bestand aus Ruß, Kaolin, Calciumcarbonat, Vaseline und niedrig siedendem aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoff.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Mittel gegenüber Fettschmutz dem Vergleichsprodukt nahezu gleichwertig, gegenüber Pigmentschmutz jedoch überlegen sind.The results show that the agents according to the invention are almost equivalent to the comparison product compared to grease soiling, but are superior to pigment soiling.
