Definitions

  • graft polymers containing water-soluble or water-dispersible polyether blocks as coating and packaging means for washing, cleaning and laundry treatment agents
  • the invention relates to the use of graft polymers containing water-soluble or water-dispersible polyether blocks as coating agents for particulate detergents and cleaning agents and as packaging material for detergents, cleaning agents and post-treatment agents for the production of individual portions for metering the agents in the washing process together with the Packing material.
  • films made of water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol or mixtures of polyvinyl alcohol, which can be obtained by 85 to 90% hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate and acrylic acid, have been used, cf. JP-A-61-057 700 and DE-A-31 48 931.
  • detergents are packaged in foil bags made from the polymers mentioned and added to the washing machine in the form of individual sealed packs. If they come into contact with water, the foil bags disintegrate and release the detergent contained in them.
  • films made from polyvinyl alcohol have the disadvantage that they stick to one another in a moist environment, in particular when several bags of polyvinyl alcohol containing a detergent lie one above the other.
  • EP-A-0 479 404 In order to reduce the stickiness of water-soluble films made of polyvinyl alcohol for the packaging of detergents and cleaning agents, it is known from EP-A-0 479 404 to combine a base film made of polyvinyl alcohol on at least one surface with a second plastic material, the less is water-soluble as polyvinyl alcohol and is present in the form of a discontinuous, at least partially non-particulate layer on at least the outer surface of the film.
  • polyvinyl alcohol as packaging film has the disadvantage that the polyvinyl alcohol does not always completely dissolve in the washing liquor, tends to gel and is deposited on the laundry.
  • polyvinyl alcohol has a slow dissolution rate and tends to become brittle and the flexibility decreases dramatically in low ambient humidity. That is why polyvinyl alcohol is usually added to plasticizers in the form of low molecular weight compounds. This required Chen plasticizers often pass from the casing into the contents and lead to changes there. The shell becomes poor in plasticizers and becomes brittle and unstable during storage.

Description

Verwendung von wasserlöslichen oder wasserdispergierbaren Poly- etherblöcken enthaltenden Pfropfpolymerisaten als Beschichtungsund Verpackungsmittel für Wasch-, Reinigungs- und Wäschebehand- lungsmittelUse of graft polymers containing water-soluble or water-dispersible polyether blocks as coating and packaging means for washing, cleaning and laundry treatment agents
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von wasserlöslichen oder wasserdispergierbaren Polyetherblöcken enthaltenden Pfropfpolyme- risaten als Beschichtungsmittel für teilchenförmige Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel und als Verpackungsmaterial für Wasch-, Reinigungs- und Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel zur Herstellung von einzelnen Portionen für die Dosierung der Mittel im Waschprozeß zu- sammen mit dem Verpackungsmaterial.The invention relates to the use of graft polymers containing water-soluble or water-dispersible polyether blocks as coating agents for particulate detergents and cleaning agents and as packaging material for detergents, cleaning agents and post-treatment agents for the production of individual portions for metering the agents in the washing process together with the Packing material.
Zum portionierten Verpacken von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln hat man beispielsweise Folien aus wasserlöslichen Polymeren wie Poly- vinylalkohol oder Mischungen aus Polyvinylalkohol , der durch 85 bis 90%ige Hydrolyse von Polyvinylacetat erhältlich ist, und Acrylsäure, verwendet, vgl. JP-A-61-057 700 und DE-A-31 48 931. So werden beispielsweise Waschmittel in Folienbeuteln aus den genannten Polymeren verpackt und in Form von einzelnen versiegelten Packungen in die Waschmaschine gegeben. Bei einem Kontakt mit Wasser zerfallen die Folienbeutel und setzen das darin enthaltene Waschmittel frei. Filme aus Polyvinylalkohol haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie in feuchter Umgebung miteinander verkleben, insbesondere dann, wenn mehrere ein Waschmittel enthaltende Beutel aus Polyvinylalkohol übereinander liegen.For portioned packaging of detergents and cleaning agents, for example, films made of water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol or mixtures of polyvinyl alcohol, which can be obtained by 85 to 90% hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate and acrylic acid, have been used, cf. JP-A-61-057 700 and DE-A-31 48 931. For example, detergents are packaged in foil bags made from the polymers mentioned and added to the washing machine in the form of individual sealed packs. If they come into contact with water, the foil bags disintegrate and release the detergent contained in them. However, films made from polyvinyl alcohol have the disadvantage that they stick to one another in a moist environment, in particular when several bags of polyvinyl alcohol containing a detergent lie one above the other.
Um die Klebrigkeit von wasserlöslichen Filmen aus Polyvinylalkohol für die Verpackung von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln zu reduzieren, ist aus der EP-A-0 479 404 bekannt, eine Grundfolie aus Polyvinylalkohol auf mindestens einer Oberfläche mit einem zwei- ten Kunststoffmaterial zu kombinieren, das weniger wasserlöslich ist als Polyvinylalkohol und in Form einer diskontinuierlichen, mindestens teilweise nicht teilchenförmigen Schicht auf mindestens der Außenfläche der Folie vorliegt.In order to reduce the stickiness of water-soluble films made of polyvinyl alcohol for the packaging of detergents and cleaning agents, it is known from EP-A-0 479 404 to combine a base film made of polyvinyl alcohol on at least one surface with a second plastic material, the less is water-soluble as polyvinyl alcohol and is present in the form of a discontinuous, at least partially non-particulate layer on at least the outer surface of the film.
Die Verwendung von Polyvinylalkohol als Verpackungsfolie hat den Nachteil, daß sich der Polyvinylalkohol nicht immer vollständig in der Waschflotte löst, zur Gelbildung neigt und sich auf dem Waschgut ablagert. Zudem weist Polyvinylalkohol eine langsame Lösungsgeschwindigkeit auf und neigt bei niedriger Umgebungsfeuchte zur Versprödung und einer dramatischen Abnahme der Flexibilität. Deshalb werden Polyvinylalkohol üblicherweise Weichmacher in Form von niedermolekularen Verbindungen zugesetzt. Diese erforderli- chen Weichmacher treten häufig von der Hülle in das Füllgut über und führen dort zu Veränderungen. Die Hülle verarmt an Weichmachern und wird im Laufe der Lagerung spröde und instabil.The use of polyvinyl alcohol as packaging film has the disadvantage that the polyvinyl alcohol does not always completely dissolve in the washing liquor, tends to gel and is deposited on the laundry. In addition, polyvinyl alcohol has a slow dissolution rate and tends to become brittle and the flexibility decreases dramatically in low ambient humidity. That is why polyvinyl alcohol is usually added to plasticizers in the form of low molecular weight compounds. This required Chen plasticizers often pass from the casing into the contents and lead to changes there. The shell becomes poor in plasticizers and becomes brittle and unstable during storage.
Aus der EP-A-0 253 566 sind für die portionsweise Dosierung von Waschmitteln Folienbeutel bekannt, die ein Waschmittel enthalten und deren Wandmaterial aus einem Verbund aus Polyethylenoxiden und einem wasserunlöslichen, aber wasserdurchlässigen Material, z.B. einem Vlies, besteht. Diese Art der Waschmitteldosierung hat den Nachteil, daß der wasserunlösliche Bestandteil des Verpak- kungsmaterials nach jeder Wasche aus dem Waschgut entfernt werden muß.From EP-A-0 253 566 foil bags are known for the portioned dosage of detergents which contain a detergent and whose wall material is made of a composite of polyethylene oxides and a water-insoluble but water-permeable material, e.g. a fleece. This type of detergent dosing has the disadvantage that the water-insoluble component of the packaging material has to be removed from the laundry after each wash.

Aus der DE-B-1 081 229 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung wasserlöslicher modifizierter Polyvinylalkohole bekannt, die zu minde- stens 50 Gew.-% aus Polyvinylalkoholeinheiten bestehen. Sie werden dadurch hergestellt, daß man Pfropfpolymerisate mindestens eines Vinylesters auf Polyalkylenglykolen im sauren oder alkalischen pH-Bereich vollständig oder teilweise verseift. Der Polyal- kylenglykolanteil im Pfropfpolymerisat beträgt 0,1 bis 50 Gew.-%. Die modifizierten Polyvinylalkohole sind farblose bis wenig gefärbte lockere Pulver, die sich leicht in Wasser lösen. Sie werden beispielsweise zur Herstellung von wasserlöslichen Verpak- kungsfolien, als Schlichte- und Appreturmittel und für kosmetische Artikel verwendet.DE-B-1 081 229 discloses a process for the preparation of water-soluble modified polyvinyl alcohols which consist of at least 50% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol units. They are prepared by completely or partially saponifying graft polymers of at least one vinyl ester on polyalkylene glycols in the acidic or alkaline pH range. The proportion of polyalkylene glycol in the graft polymer is 0.1 to 50% by weight. The modified polyvinyl alcohols are colorless to slightly colored loose powders that easily dissolve in water. They are used, for example, for the production of water-soluble packaging films, as sizing and finishing agents and for cosmetic articles.
Aus der DE-B-1 094 457 sind modifizierte Polyvinylalkohole bekannt, die aus einem Pfropfpolymerisat mindestens eines Vinylesters und gegebenenfalls anderen, damit copolymerisierbaren Monomeren auf Polyalkylenglykolen bestehen, wobei das Pfropfpolyme- risat so weit verseift ist, daß der entstandene modifizierte Polyvinylalkohol bereits in kaltem Wasser löslich ist, jedoch weniger als 50 Gew.-% an Polyvinylalkoholeinheiten enthält. Die modifizierten Polymerisate eignen sich als Schutzkolloid für die Herstellung von Polymerdispersionen und als Ausgangsstoff für die Herstellung von Schaumstoffen. Sie werden außerdem als Material für die Herstellung weicher, leicht wasserlöslicher, klar durch- sichtiger Folien, als Schlichte- und Appreturmittel und in der Kosmetik verwendet.DE-B-1 094 457 discloses modified polyvinyl alcohols which consist of a graft polymer of at least one vinyl ester and optionally other monomers which can be copolymerized therewith on polyalkylene glycols, the graft polymer having been saponified to such an extent that the modified polyvinyl alcohol formed is already cold Water is soluble, but contains less than 50 wt .-% of polyvinyl alcohol units. The modified polymers are suitable as protective colloids for the production of polymer dispersions and as starting materials for the production of foams. They are also used as a material for the production of softer, slightly water-soluble, clear transparent films, used as sizing and finishing agents and in cosmetics.

Propylene oxide, butylene oxide and / or isobutylene oxide are suitable as comonomers for these copolymers. For example, copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, copolymers of ethylene oxide and butylene oxide and / or isobutylene oxide and copolymers of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide or isobutylene oxide are suitable.

Die Polymerisation kann beispielsweise eine Lösungspolymerisation, Polymerisation in Substanz, Emulsionspolymerisation, umgekehrte Emulsionspolymerisation, Suspensionspolymerisation, umgekehrte Suspensionspolymerisation oder Fällungspolymerisation sein, ohne daß die verwendbaren Methoden darauf beschränkt sind. Bei der bevorzugt durchgeführten Polymerisation in Substanz kann man so vorgehen, daß man den Polyether (b) , insbesondere das Polyalkylenoxid (b) , in mindestens einem Vinylester (a) und gewünschtenfalls einem oder mehreren Comonomeren (c) löst und die Mischung nach Zugabe eines Polymerisationsinitiators polymeri- siert. Die PfropfPolymerisation kann auch halbkontinuierlich durchgeführt werden, indem man zunächst einen Teil, z.B. 10 Gew.-%, dieser Mischung vorlegt und auf Polymerisationstemperatur erhitzt und nach dem Anspringen der Polymerisation den Rest der zu polymerisierenden Mischung nach Fortschritt der Polymerisation zugibt.

The preferred bulk polymerization can be carried out by dissolving the polyether (b), in particular the polyalkylene oxide (b), in at least one vinyl ester (a) and, if desired, one or more comonomers (c), and the mixture after adding a Polymerization initiator polymerized. The graft polymerization can also be carried out semi-continuously by first introducing a portion, for example 10% by weight, of this mixture and heating it to the polymerization temperature and adding the rest of the mixture to be polymerized after the polymerization has started and the progress of the polymerization. The graft polymers can also be obtained by placing the polyether (b) in a reactor, heating to the polymerization temperature and at least one vinyl ester (a) and, if desired, comonomer (c) (separately or as a mixture) and polymerization initiator either in one batch or preferably continuously added and polymerized.

Initiatorgemischen, bezogen auf eingesetztes Monomer (a) und gegebenenfalls (c) , liegen bei 0,01 bis 10 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise bei 0,3 bis 5 Gew.-%.The amounts of initiator or initiator mixtures used, based on monomer (a) and optionally (c) used, are from 0.01 to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.3 to 5% by weight.
Die PfropfPolymerisation erfolgt im Temperaturbereich von 40 bis 200°C, bevorzugt im Bereich von 50 bis 140°C, besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 60 bis 110°C. Sie wird üblicherweise unter atmosphärischem Druck durchgeführt, kann jedoch auch unter vermindertem oder erhöhtem Druck, vorzugsweise zwischen 1 und 5 bar, ablaufen. Falls gewünscht, kann die oben beschriebene PfropfPolymerisation auch in einem Lösemittel bzw. Lösemittelgemisch durchgeführt werden. Geeignete Lösemittel sind beispielsweise aliphatische und cycloaliphatische einwertige Alkohole, wie Methanol, Ethanol, n- Propanol, Isopropanol, n-Butanol, sek. -Butanol, ter . -Butanol, n- Hexanol und Cyclohexanol, mehrwertige Alkohole, z.B. Glykole, wie Ethylenglykol, Propylenglykol und Butylenglykol , und Glycerin. Alkylether mehrwertiger Alkohole, z.B. Methyl- oder Ethylether der zweiwertigen Alkohole, Etheralkohole, wie Diethylenglykol und Triethylenglykol, sowie cyclische Ether, wie Dioxan.The graft polymerization takes place in the temperature range from 40 to 200 ° C., preferably in the range from 50 to 140 ° C., particularly preferably in the range from 60 to 110 ° C. It is usually carried out under atmospheric pressure, but can also take place under reduced or elevated pressure, preferably between 1 and 5 bar. If desired, the graft polymerization described above can also be carried out in a solvent or solvent mixture. Suitable solvents are, for example, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic monohydric alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, sec. -Butanol, ter. -Butanol, n-hexanol and cyclohexanol, polyhydric alcohols, for example glycols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and butylene glycol, and glycerin. Alkyl ethers of polyhydric alcohols, for example methyl or ethyl ethers of the dihydric alcohols, ether alcohols, such as diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol, and cyclic ethers, such as dioxane.
Die PfropfPolymerisation kann auch in Wasser als Lösemittel durchgeführt werden. Sollen bei der Polymerisation gebildete wasserunlösliche Produkte direkt in gelöster Form anfallen, kön- nen mit Wasser mischbare organische Lösemittel bei der Polymerisation zugesetzt werden, z.B. einwertige Alkohole mit 1 bis 3 Kohlenstoffatomen, Aceton oder Dimethylformamid.The graft polymerization can also be carried out in water as a solvent. If water-insoluble products formed during the polymerization are to be obtained directly in dissolved form, water-miscible organic solvents can be added during the polymerization, e.g. monohydric alcohols with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, acetone or dimethylformamide.
Man kann jedoch auch bei der Pfropf olymerisation in Wasser so verfahren, daß man die wasserunlöslichen Pfropfpolymerisate durch Zugabe üblicher Emulgatoren oder Schutzkolloide, z.B. Polyvinylalkohol, in eine feinteilige Dispersion überführt. Als Emulgatoren verwendet man beispielsweise ionische oder nichtionische Ten- side, deren HLB-Wert im Bereich von 3 bis 13 liegt. Zur Definition des HLB-Werts wird auf die Veröffentlichung von W.C. Griffin, J. Soc. Cosmetic Che ., Band 5, 249 (1954) hingewiesen. Falls bei der Propfpolymerisation Tenside eingesetzt werden, beträgt deren Menge, bezogen auf das Pfropfcopolymerisat, z.B. 0, 1 bis 5 Gew.-%.However, graft polymerization in water can also be carried out by adding the water-insoluble graft polymers by adding customary emulsifiers or protective colloids, e.g. Polyvinyl alcohol, converted into a fine dispersion. The emulsifiers used are, for example, ionic or nonionic surfactants whose HLB value is in the range from 3 to 13. For the definition of the HLB value, reference is made to the publication by W.C. Griffin, J. Soc. Cosmetic Che., Volume 5, 249 (1954). If surfactants are used in the graft polymerization, their amount, based on the graft copolymer, is e.g. 0.1 to 5% by weight.
Üblicherweise verwendet man 5 bis 200 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 10 bis 100 Gew.-%, organisches Lösemittel, Wasser oder Gemisch aus Wasser und organischem Lösemittel, bezogen auf das Pfropf - Polymerisat.5 to 200% by weight, preferably 10 to 100% by weight, of organic solvent, water or a mixture of water and organic solvent, based on the graft polymer, is usually used.
Zur Erhöhung der Hydrophilie der erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Pfropfpolymerisate können die Estergruppen nach der Polymerisation vollständig oder teilweise verseift (hydrolysiert) werden. Die Verseifung erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise durch Zugabe einer Base, bevorzugt einer alkoholischen Alkalimetallhydroxidlö- sung, insbesondere einer methanolischen Natrium- oder Kalium- hydroxidlösung, bei Temperaturen im Bereich von 10 bis 70°C, bevorzugt im Bereich von 15 bis 30°C.To increase the hydrophilicity of the graft polymers used according to the invention, the ester groups can be completely or partially saponified (hydrolyzed) after the polymerization. The saponification is carried out in a manner known per se by adding a base, preferably an alcoholic alkali metal hydroxide solution, in particular a methanolic sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, at temperatures in the range from 10 to 70 ° C., preferably in the range from 15 to 30 ° C. ,
Der Verseifungsgrad hängt ab von der Menge der eingesetzten Base, von der Verseifungste peratur und der Verseifungszeit und kann entsprechend im Bereich von 0 bis 100 mol-% liegen. Bevorzugt liegt er im Bereich von 20 bis 100 mol-%, besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 40 bis 100 %, insbesondere von 65 bis 100 mol-% und ganz besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 80 bis 100 mol-%.The degree of saponification depends on the amount of base used, on the saponification temperature and on the saponification time and can accordingly be in the range from 0 to 100 mol%. Prefers it is in the range from 20 to 100 mol%, particularly preferably in the range from 40 to 100%, in particular from 65 to 100 mol% and very particularly preferably in the range from 80 to 100 mol%.
5 Der Feststoffgehalt der nach Austausch des Alkohols durch Wasser (z.B. durch Wasserdampfdestillation) erhaltenen wäßrigen Polymerisat-Dispersionen bzw. -Lösungen beträgt in der Regel 10 bis 70 Gew.-%, bevorzugt 15 bis 65 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt 20 bis 60 Gew. -% . 05 The solids content of the aqueous polymer dispersions or solutions obtained after the alcohol has been replaced by water (for example by steam distillation) is generally 10 to 70% by weight, preferably 15 to 65% by weight, particularly preferably 20 to 60 % By weight. 0
Je nach Verseifungsgrad und Konzentration erhält man wäßrige Dispersionen oder Lösungen der erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Pfropfpolymerisate mit einer Viskosität kleiner 1000 mPas . Bei einer Polymerisatkonzentration von 20 Gew. -% beträgt die Viskosi- 5 tat bevorzugt von 5 bis 400 mPas, besonders bevorzugt von 10 bis 250 mPas.Depending on the degree of saponification and concentration, aqueous dispersions or solutions of the graft polymers used according to the invention are obtained with a viscosity of less than 1000 mPas. With a polymer concentration of 20% by weight, the viscosity is preferably from 5 to 400 mPas, particularly preferably from 10 to 250 mPas.
Die Propfpolymerisat-Dispersionen oder -Lösungen können durch verschiedene Trocknungsverfahren, z.B. Sprühtrocknung, Fluidized 0 Spray Drying, Walzentrocknung oder Gefriertrocknung, in Pulverform überführt werden. Wegen der geringen Viskosität der Lösungen bzw. Dispersionen wird als Trocknungsverfahren bevorzugt die Sprühtrocknung eingesetzt. Aus dem so erhaltenen PfropfPolymerisat -Trockenpulver läßt sich durch Eintragen in Wasser erneut eine 5 wäßrige Dispersion bzw. Lösung herstellen. Pulverförmige Pfropfpolymerisate haben gegenüber Dispersionen und Lösungen, insbesondere wäßrigen Dispersionen und Lösungen, den Vorteil einer besseren Lagerfähigkeit, einer einfacheren Transportmöglichkeit sowie einer geringeren Neigung für Keimbefall. 0The graft polymer dispersions or solutions can be prepared by various drying processes, e.g. Spray drying, Fluidized 0 Spray Drying, drum drying or freeze drying, can be transferred into powder form. Because of the low viscosity of the solutions or dispersions, spray drying is preferably used as the drying process. From the graft polymer dry powder thus obtained, an aqueous dispersion or solution can be prepared again by adding it to water. Powdery graft polymers have the advantage over dispersions and solutions, in particular aqueous dispersions and solutions, of better storage stability, easier transport and a lower tendency to infest germs. 0
Die Pfropfpolymerisate können in reiner Form oder aber zusammen mit den üblichen Hilfsstoffen auf einen wirkstoffhaltigen Kern, z.B. auf Tabletten aus einem Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, appli- ziert werden. Übliche Hilfsstoffe sind z.B. Farbpigmente zur Ein- 5 färbung, Weißpigmente, wie Titandioxid, zur Erhöhung der Deckkraft, Talkum und Siliciumdioxid als Antiklebemittel, Poly- ethylenglykole, Glycerin, Propylenglykol, Triacetin und Triethyl- citrat als Weichmacher und verschiedene oberflächenaktive Stoffe, wie Natriumlaurylsulfat, zur Verbesserung des Benetzungsverhal- tens .The graft polymers can be in pure form or together with the usual auxiliaries on a core containing active ingredients, e.g. applied to tablets from a washing or cleaning agent. Common auxiliaries are e.g. Color pigments for coloring, white pigments such as titanium dioxide to increase opacity, talc and silicon dioxide as an anti-adhesive, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol, triacetin and triethyl citrate as plasticizers and various surface-active substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate to improve the wetting behavior - tens.
Es ist ferner möglich, die erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Pfropfpolymerisate mit anderen Filmbildnern bzw. Polymeren beispielsweise im Verhältnis 1:9 bis 9:1 zu kombinieren. Hierzu , c- können beispielsweise folgende Polymere eingesetzt werden: Polyvinylpyrrolidon, Polyvinylpyrrolidon-Copolymere, wasserlösli - ehe Cellulosederivate, wie Hydroxypropylcellulose, Hydroxypropyl - methylcellulose, Methylcellulose und Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acrylat- und Methacrylat-Copolymere, Polyvinylalkohole, Poly- 5 ethylenglykole und Polyethylenoxid-Polypropylenoxid-Blockpoly- mere. Schmelzen aus solchen Polymermischungen können z.B. zu Folien, Granulaten oder Pulvern verarbeitet werden. Die Folien können direkt zur Verpackung von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln eingesetzt werden. 0It is also possible to combine the graft polymers to be used according to the invention with other film formers or polymers, for example in a ratio of 1: 9 to 9: 1. The following polymers can be used for this, c -: Polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers, water-soluble cellulose derivatives, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose, acrylate and methacrylate copolymers, polyvinyl alcohols, poly 5 ethylene glycols and polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide block polyols. Melts from such polymer mixtures can be processed, for example, to give films, granules or powders. The films can be used directly for the packaging of detergents and cleaning agents. 0
Die Beschichtung von teilchenförmigen Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln ist wünschenswert, weil dadurch bei der üblichen Dosierung dieser Mittel im Haushalt ein Kontakt von Bestandteilen der Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mit der Haut des Anwenders vermieden 5 wird. Dieser Vorteil gilt besonders für solche Wasch- undThe coating of particulate detergents and cleaning agents is desirable because this prevents contact of constituents of the detergents or cleaning agents with the skin of the user in the usual dosage of these agents in the household. This advantage applies particularly to such washing and
Reinigungsmittel, die Bestandteile enthalten, die zu einer Hautreizung oder allergischen Reaktionen der Haut führen können, z.B. Alkalicarbonate, Oxidationsmittel, wie Perborate, oder Enzyme. Die Beschichtung von teilchenförmigen Wasch- und Reini- o gungsmitteln hat darüber hinaus noch den Vorteil, daß die Bruchfestigkeit und der Abrieb der beschichteten Teilchen gegenüber den unbeschichteten Teilchen gleicher Zusammensetzung verbessert ist.Detergents containing ingredients that may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, e.g. Alkali carbonates, oxidizing agents such as perborates, or enzymes. The coating of particulate detergents and cleaning agents also has the advantage that the breaking strength and the abrasion of the coated particles are improved compared to the uncoated particles of the same composition.
5 Unter teilchenförmigen Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln sollen alle üblichen Handelsformen dieser Produkte verstanden werden, z.B. Granulate, Pellets, Schuppen, Stränge, Kugeln, Tabletten und Pulver. Einige Beispiele für die Zusammensetzung von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln (einschließlich von Bleichmitteln) werden in 0 den Tabellen 1 und 2 gegeben. Bei den Waschmitteln kann es sich um übliche pulverförmige Waschmittel oder um Kompaktwaschmittel mit einer Schüttdichte von beispielsweise 550 bis 1000 g/l handeln.5 Particulate detergents and cleaning agents are to be understood to mean all customary commercial forms of these products, e.g. Granules, pellets, scales, strands, balls, tablets and powder. Some examples of the composition of washing and cleaning agents (including bleaching agents) are given in Tables 1 and 2. The detergents can be customary powder detergents or compact detergents with a bulk density of, for example, 550 to 1000 g / l.

Für das Beschichten von teilchenförmigen Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln können die gebräuchlichen Verfahren angewendet werden, z.B. Coaten in der Wirbelschicht oder im Horizontaltrommelcoater , Tauchschwertverfahren oder Kesselcoatingverfahren. Vorzugsweise beschichtet man Waschmitteltabletten, Reinigertabletten sowie Kugeln, Granulate und solche Formen von Wasch- und Reinigerformulierungen, von denen man beispielsweise 1 bis 5 Formkörper , wie Tabletten oder Kugeln, für einen Waschgang benötigt.The usual methods can be used for coating particulate detergents and cleaning agents, e.g. Coating in the fluidized bed or in the horizontal drum coater, immersion sword process or boiler coating process. Detergent tablets, detergent tablets and spheres, granules and such forms of detergent and cleaner formulations are preferably coated, of which 1 to 5 moldings, such as tablets or spheres, are required for a wash cycle.
Die Beschichtungsmittel werden beispielsweise in einer Stärke von 5 bis 1000 μ , bevorzugt 30 bis 500 μm und insbesondere in einer Stärke von 40 bis 100 μ auf die teilchenförmigen Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel aufgetragen.The coating compositions are applied, for example, to the particulate detergents and cleaners in a thickness of 5 to 1000 μm, preferably 30 to 500 μm and in particular in a thickness of 40 to 100 μm.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist außerdem die Verwendung der oben beschriebenen Pfropfpolymerisate als Verpackungsmaterial für Wasch-, Reinigungs- und Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel zur Herstellung von einzelnen Portionen für die Dosierung der Mittel im Waschprozeß zusammen mit dem Verpackungsmaterial. Die jeweils für einen Waschgang einzeln portionierte und verpackte Menge an Wasch-, Reinigungs- oder Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel wird in der Literatur z.B. als "Einzelverpackung", "unit packaging detergent" oder "sachets for packaging measured portions of detergents" be- zeichnet.The invention also relates to the use of the graft polymers described above as packaging material for washing, cleaning and laundry aftertreatment compositions for the production of individual portions for metering the compositions in the washing process together with the packaging material. The amount of washing, cleaning or laundry aftertreatment agent individually portioned and packaged for a washing cycle is described in the literature e.g. referred to as "single packaging", "unit packaging detergent" or "sachets for packaging measured portions of detergents".
Aus den erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Pfropfpolymerisaten können, wie bereits oben beschrieben, Folien hergestellt werden, z.B. durch Extrudieren oder durch Gießen. Die Dicke der Folien beträgt beispielsweise 10 bis 1000 μm, vorzugsweise 30 bis 500 μm und liegt meistens in dem Bereich von 40 bis 100 μ . Aus den wasserlöslichen Folien von Pfropfpolymerisaten werden beispielsweise Beutel oder Säckchen für die Verpackung von pulverförmigen Waschmitteln, flüssigen Waschmitteln, Reinigungsmitteln und Wäsche- nachbehandlungsmitteln hergestellt. Nach dem Befüllen mit einem der genannten Mittel werden die Beutel oder Säckchen verschlossen, z.B. verschweißt, versiegelt oder mit Hilfe eines Klebers verklebt. Die Menge an aktivem Mittel, das jeweils in den Beuteln verpackt wird, ist vorzugsweise so bemessen, daß beispielsweise 1 bis 5, insbesondere 1 Beutel für einen einzigen Waschgang ausreicht. In manchen Fällen kann es in Abhängigkeit von der Wasserhärte erforderlich sein, mehrere Beutel, z.B. 2 bis 4, für einen Waschgang zu dosieren. Beim Kontakt mit Wasser zerfällt der Folienbeutel unter Freisetzung des darin verpackten Mittels. Das Verpackungsmaterial ist in Wasser bzw. in der Waschflotte sehr leicht löslich bzw. darin leicht dispergierbar . Mit Hilfe der in einzelne Portionen verpackten Wasch-, Reinigungs- und Wäschepfle- gemittel ist es möglich, eine optimale Dosierung der Mittel zu erreichen, ohne daß für den Anwender die Gefahr besteht, beispielsweise mit alkalischen Bestandteilen einer Waschmittelformulierung in Berührung zu kommen.As already described above, films can be produced from the graft polymers to be used according to the invention, for example by extrusion or by casting. The thickness of the films is, for example, 10 to 1000 μm, preferably 30 to 500 μm and is usually in the range from 40 to 100 μm. Bags or sacks for the packaging of powder detergents, liquid detergents, cleaning agents and laundry aftertreatment agents, for example, are produced from the water-soluble films of graft polymers. After filling with one of the agents mentioned, the bags or sacks are closed, for example welded, sealed or glued with the aid of an adhesive. The amount of active agent which is packaged in the bags is preferably such that, for example, 1 to 5, in particular 1 bag is sufficient for a single wash cycle. In some cases, depending on the water hardness, it may be necessary to dose several bags, e.g. 2 to 4, for one wash. Upon contact with water, the foil pouch disintegrates, releasing the agent packed in it. The packaging material is very easily soluble or easily dispersible in water or in the wash liquor. With the help of the washing, cleaning and laundry care packaged in individual portions it is possible to achieve an optimal dosage of the agents without the risk of the user coming into contact with, for example, alkaline components of a detergent formulation.
