Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mit anionischen und nichtionischen Tensiden. Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine wasserlösliche Verpackung, umfassend ein solches flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.The invention relates to a liquid detergent or cleaning agent with anionic and nonionic surfactants. The invention also relates to a water-soluble packaging comprising such a liquid detergent or cleaning agent.

Immer häufiger werden empfindliche Textilien, wie zum Beispiel Seide oder Mikrofaser, zu Kleidungsstücken verarbeitet, die nur bei 30 oder 40 °C gewaschen werden können. Weiterhin liegt energiesparendes Waschen bei niedrigen Waschtemperaturen im Trend. Allerdings nimmt die Leistung von Waschmitteln an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen bei Erniedrigung der Waschtemperaturen ab. Eine Vorbehandlung der Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen wird von vielen Verbrauchern als lästig angesehen.Increasingly, delicate textiles, such as silk or microfiber, are processed into garments that can only be washed at 30 or 40 ° C. Furthermore, energy-saving washing at low wash temperatures is the trend. However, the performance of detergents on fatty soils decreases with decreasing wash temperatures. Pretreatment of greasy soils is considered troublesome by many consumers.

Zur Erhöhung der Reinigungsleistung wird beispielsweise in der WO 2011/117079 A1 der Einsatz von flüssigen, hydrophoben Verbindungen in Kombination mit ungesättigten Fettsäure(seife)n vorgeschlagen.To increase the cleaning performance is for example in the WO 2011/117079 A1 the use of liquid, hydrophobic compounds in combination with unsaturated fatty acid (soap) n proposed.

EP 1 516 917 A1 betrifft Dosiereinheiten flüssiger Waschmittel, wobei letztere 5-80 Gew.-% Tensid, 1-15 Gew.-% nicht-wässeriges Lösemittel, sowie weniger als 10 Gew.-% Wasser enthalten und worin Fettsäure und Fettsäureseife stabil eingearbeitet werden kann. EP 1 516 917 A1 relates to dosing units of liquid detergents, the latter containing 5-80% by weight of surfactant, 1-15% by weight of nonaqueous solvent, and less than 10% by weight of water and in which fatty acid and fatty acid soap can be stably incorporated.

EP 1 854 869 A1 betrifft ebenso flüssige Waschmittel in einer wasserlöslichen Umfüllung als eine durch horizontalem Vakuumformprozess hergestellte Dosiereinheit, wobei der Film der Umhüllung ein Copolymer aus Vinylalkohol mit einer Carbonsäure enthält und das Flüssigwaschmittel mindestens eine Carboxylat- oder Phosphonatverbindung enthält und mindestens 5-15 Gew.-% Wasser enthält. EP 1 854 869 A1 also relates to liquid detergents in a water-soluble refill as a dosing unit produced by a horizontal vacuum forming process, the film of the casing containing a copolymer of vinyl alcohol with a carboxylic acid and the liquid detergent containing at least one carboxylate or phosphonate compound and containing at least 5-15% by weight of water ,

Aus der Druckschrift EP 1 120 459 A1 sind Tensidverpackungseinheiten mit einem wasserlöslichen Film als Umverpackung und einem darin umhüllten, wasserfreien, isotropen Flüssigwaschmittel bekannt, wobei der Film auf Polyvinylalkohol basiert und die Flüssigwaschmittelformulierung Seife, ein davon verschiedenes anionisches Tensid sowie ein Lösemittel dafür enthält.From the publication EP 1 120 459 A1 surfactant packaging units are known comprising a water-soluble film as the overwrap and anhydrous isotropic liquid detergent coated therein, the film being based on polyvinyl alcohol and the liquid detergent formulation containing soap, a different anionic surfactant and a solvent therefor.

Es besteht aber weiterhin Bedarf, die Reinigungsleistung von Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln, insbesondere an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen, zu verbessern.However, there is still a need to improve the cleaning performance of detergents or cleaners, especially on soils containing grease.

Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel sind heute für den Verbraucher in vielfältigen Angebotsformen erhältlich. Neben Pulvern und Granulaten umfasst dieses Angebot beispielsweise auch Flüssigkeiten, Gele oder Portionspackungen (Tabletten oder gefüllte Beutel).Detergents or cleaners are now available to the consumer in a variety of forms. In addition to powders and granules, this offer includes, for example, liquids, gels or sachets (tablets or filled pouches).

Insbesondere Portionspackungen mit flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln werden immer beliebter, erfüllen sie einerseits den Wunsch des Verbrauchers nach vereinfachter Dosierung und andererseits bevorzugen immer mehr Verbraucher flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.In particular, portion packs containing liquid detergents or cleaning agents are becoming increasingly popular, fulfilling, on the one hand, the consumer's desire for simplified dosing and, on the other hand, more and more consumers prefering liquid detergents or cleaners.

Bei der Formulierung von flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln zur Verpackung in wasserlöslichen Beuteln muss insbesondere darauf geachtet werden, dass die Inhaltsstoffe des Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittels die wasserlösliche Umhüllung des Beutels nicht schon vor ihrem Einsatz auf- oder anlösen und so zu unerwünschten Leckagen führen.When formulating liquid detergents or cleaners for packaging in water-soluble bags, particular care must be taken to ensure that the ingredients of the washing or cleaning agent do not dissolve or dissolve the water-soluble envelope of the bag before they are used and thus lead to undesirable leaks.

Entsprechend war es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mit erhöhter Reinigungsleistung, insbesondere an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen, bereit zu stellen, welches auch zur Verpackung in einer wasserlöslichen Umhüllung geeignet ist.Accordingly, it was an object of the present invention to provide a liquid detergent or cleaning agent with increased cleaning performance, especially on soils containing grease, which is also suitable for packaging in a water-soluble coating.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein flüssiges Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, umfassend

  1. a) ein mit einem Amin neutralisiertes anionisches Tensid,
  2. b) einen alkoxylierten Oxo-Alkohol, ausgewählt aus C13-15-Oxo-Alkoholen mit 8 EO und
  3. c) bis zu 10 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das gesamte Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel, Wasser.

  3. c) up to 10 wt .-%, based on the total washing or cleaning agent, water.

Es hat sich überraschenderweise gezeigt, dass die Verwendung von besagten Oxo-Alkoholen als nichtionische Tenside zu flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln mit erhöhter Reinigungsleistung, insbesondere an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen, führt.It has surprisingly been found that the use of said oxo alcohols as nonionic surfactants to liquid detergents or cleaning agents with increased cleaning performance, especially on fat-containing soils leads.

Somit können wasserarme Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel hergestellt werden, die direkt für die Verwendung in wasserlöslichen Beuteln geeignet sind.The neutralization with amines, unlike bases such as NaOH or KOH, does not lead to the formation of water. Thus, low-water detergents or cleaners can be prepared which are directly suitable for use in water-soluble bags.

These neutralized anionic surfactants have a high cleaning performance on a variety of stains.

Eine besonders hohe Reinigungsleistung an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen wird bei Einsatz von C13-15-Oxo-Alkoholen mit 8 EO in den flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln erhalten.A particularly high cleaning performance of greasy soils is obtained when using C 13-15 oxo-alcohols with 8 EO in the liquid detergents or cleaners.

Zur Bestimmung der Reinigungsleistung wurden verschiedene Fett-haltige Anschmutzungen mit einem Durchmesser von jeweils ca. 2 cm auf verschiedene Stofflappen (Polyester oder Baumwolle) aufgebracht.To determine the cleaning performance, various grease-containing soiling with a diameter of about 2 cm each were applied to various cloths (polyester or cotton).

Anschließend wurde eine Haushaltswaschmaschine (Miele W 526) mit 3,5 kg Begleitwäsche sowie den verschmutzten Stofflappen beladen. Zusätzlich wurden 35 g des zu prüfenden Waschmittels (E1, V, V1 oder V2) zudosiert und bei 40 °C gewaschen. Nach hängender Trocknung und Mangeln der Stofflappen wurde deren Remission spektralphotometrisch (Minolta CR200-1) bestimmt (siehe Tabelle 2). Die Bewertung der Fleckentfernung erfolgte über den Y-Wert.

In addition, 35 g of the detergent to be tested (E1, V, V1 or V2) were added and washed at 40 ° C. After hanging drying and shortage of the cloth rags, their remission was determined spectrophotometrically (Minolta CR200-1) (see Table 2). The stain removal was evaluated by the Y value.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel mit alkoxylierten Oxo-Alkoholen eine höhere Reinigungsleistung an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen aufweisen.The results clearly show that liquid detergents or cleaners with alkoxylated oxo alcohols have a higher cleaning performance on greasy soils.

Zur Herstellung von wasserlöslichen Verpackungen mit den Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln E1 und V wurde eine Folie vom Typ M 8630 (ex Monosol) mit einer Dicke von 76 µm zum Ausbilden einer Ausbuchtung mittels Vakuum in eine Mulde gezogen. Anschließend wurde die Ausbuchtung mit 30 ml eines der flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel E1 oder V befüllt. Nach Bedecken der mit dem Mittel befüllten Ausbuchtungen mit einer zweiten Lage einer Folie vom Typ M 8630 wurden die erste und zweite Lage miteinander versiegelt. Die Siegelungstemperatur betrug 150 °C und die Siegelungsdauer 1,1 Sekunden.To prepare water-soluble packages with the detergents E1 and V, a film of the type M 8630 (ex Monosol) having a thickness of 76 μm was pulled into a depression by means of a vacuum to form a bulge. Subsequently, the bulge was filled with 30 ml of one of the liquid detergents or cleaners E1 or V. After covering the agent filled bulges with a second layer of M 8630 film, the first and second layers were sealed together. The sealing temperature was 150 ° C and the sealing time 1.1 seconds.

Nach 4, 8 und 12 Wochen Lagerzeit der wasserlöslichen Verpackungen mit den Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln E1 oder V unter verschiedenen klimatischen Bedingungen konnte keinerlei An- oder Auflösung der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung beobachtet werden. Zudem konnten keine Poren oder Löcher, die ebenfalls zum Produktaustritt oder Leckagen führen würden, festgestellt werden.After 4, 8 and 12 weeks storage time of the water-soluble packaging with the detergents or cleaners E1 or V under different climatic conditions, no contact or dissolution of the water-soluble coating could be observed. In addition, no pores or holes, which would also lead to product leakage or leaks, were found.

Wasserlösliche Verpackungen mit den Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln E1 und V lösten sich in Waschgängen bei Temperaturen, die im Bereich von 20 bis 95 °C lagen, rückstandslos auf und zeigten eine sehr gute Reinigungsleistung, insbesondere an Fett-haltigen Anschmutzungen.Water-soluble packaging with the detergents E1 and V dissolved in washes at temperatures ranging from 20 to 95 ° C, without residue and showed a very good cleaning performance, especially on greasy soils.
