Definitions

  • the present invention relates to mechanically stable, liquid-formulated detergent, detergent or cleaning agent portions.
  • the present invention relates to detergent, dishwashing or cleaning agent portions in the form of formulations which are liquid during manufacture or filling and whose viscosity increases over time, which leads to the fact that coated formulations due to their thixotropic nature or pseudoplastic behavior are mechanically stable.
  • thickeners examples include agar-agar, carrageenan, tragacanth, gum arabic, alginates, pectins, polyoses, guar gum, locust bean gum, starch, dextrins, gelatin, casein, carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose ether, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and the like, corn flour ether , Polyacrylic u. Polymethacrylic compounds, vinyl polymers, polycarboxylic acids, polyethers, polyimines, polyamides, polysilicic acids, clay minerals such as montmorillonites, zeolites and silicas. The use of these thickeners to increase viscosity in a wide variety of liquids has long been like state of the art. The use of polymers in liquid detergents has also been known for a long time.
  • thickeners such as the thickeners mentioned leads to stable gels in liquid detergents only above certain surfactant contents.
  • Liquid detergents with surfactant contents below 35% by weight already show phase separation or agglomerate formation after a few days, which is noticeable in the formulation becoming opaque (“cloud formation”).
  • cloud formation the viscosity of such products drops drastically during storage
  • Gel formation usually only succeeds with a surfactant content of more than 35% by weight, so high surfactant contents are essential. Since high-viscosity liquid detergents are usually offered in transparent bottles to underline the aesthetic characteristics, it is also necessary that the thickeners used are stable to light, otherwise there will be a radical breakdown of the polymers, which will result in the destruction of the product color and - also - undesirable "cloud formation”.

This effect is achieved by the use of two surfactants with different resistance to electrolytes and the addition of a dissolved electrolyte, the concentrate has a viscosity of less than 2,500 mPas and, when diluted with water, loses its micellar structure in favor of the formation of a lamellar phase.
