"Cleaning and. / Or disinfecting mixture for Sink or something like that. "

The invention relates to a mixture for cleaning and / or disinfecting sanitary basins, such as urinals, the are summarized below under the designation "wash basin".

The normal procedure for cleaning sinks is this es, a cleaning agent and / or disinfectant in the To give the shell itself and / or into the liquid it contains. This usually reduces the cleaning and / or disinfectants only at irregular intervals.

stands and with the uncertainty about the length of the Exposure applied as any deposit in the basin will be removed the next time the basin is flushed will ο

One gate direction to achieve more uniform application "consists of a container made of water-permeable Material that is a water-soluble detergent and / or disinfectant in the form of a stiff Contains paste or a solid, which is immersed in the water of the washing container, so that a automatic cleaning and / or disinfection of the pool takes place with every flushing process · The water-permeable container is necessary, since it does not have such a container Container the detergent and / or disinfectant is consumed in a fraction of the time that is reached if such a container is used.

So far, the addition of a fragrance in such a cleaning and / or disinfecting mixture only had Effect that the fragrance is in the mixture before immersion was noticeable in the water in the cistern · After immersion in the water in a cistern, see

the mix on such a small scale in such a way large amount of water, that the amount of fragrance that contained in the water every rinsing process is too small for the fragrance to be perceptible.

It is the task on which the invention is based to avoid this deficiency «

Fragrances are usually insoluble in water though soluble in hydrophobic material, e.g. in waxes, stearins, long-chain alcohols (and their lower Ethoxylates - up to 6EO), paradichlorobenzene, ethylene glycol - monostearate, etc., which in turn im Are essentially insoluble in water. It has been found that by adding a hydrophobic material, as mentioned above, together with a fragrance, to the cleaning and / or disinfection tablets

a) the degree of dissolution of a cleaning and / or disinfection tablet is controllable according to the invention over a wide range, and,

b) if such a tablet is dissolved by the water in a cistern, the hydrophobic material is removed

209828/1 107

the solution is precipitated, with the fragrance remains substantially mixed with the precipitated material in the water.

As a result, when the toilet is flushed, some of this precipitated material gets to the surface of the in the basin incoming water and something sticks to the sides of the pool. These particles are in contact with the atmosphere and are so heavily enriched with fragrance that the fragrance spreads over the environment.

A cleaning and / or disinfecting mixture according to Invention may include the following seven components:

1. Detergent / soap

2ο disinfectant / germicidal substance

3. Perfume

4ο dye

5ο hydrophobic material

6ο emulsifier

7. Filler

209828/1107

Detergent / soap

This material is the surface-active agent, which determines the cleaning effect of the product and im
Range of 20-90 fo can be present. The cleaning agent preferably has a pour point between 35 - 80 ⁰ C,

Disinfectant / germicidal agent
This can be present in a proportion of 0.1 to $ 30 depending on the type used. A wide variety of detergents or germicides can be used and the selection is made depending on whether it is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition chosen.

Fragrances

The fragrance is a matter of personal taste, provided that it must be essentially insoluble in water. It has been found that fragrance proportions in the composition from 1 to 15 %, depending on the type and strength of the fragrance, show a satisfactory result.

dye

This can range from 0 to 8 ^ depending on the dye-

209828/1 1 07

the type and depth of color required in the water. The presence of dye in the cleaning and / or disinfecting mixture the effect that the water in the sink has a pleasant and clean appearance and that the absence of Color in the rinse water serves as an indicator that the mixture has been used up

Hydrophobic material

This is available in the range of $ 1 to $ 60. The purpose this proportion in the mixture is twofold. On the one hand, it acts as a carrier for the fragrance, as explained above. It also has the effect of delaying the solubility of the tablet in water by reducing the surface area the water-soluble portion of the mixture that comes into contact with the water is reduced.

. Emulsifiers

They can range from $ 0 to $ 40. It has been found that the use of certain water insolubles in the composition, as discussed above, results in the formation of cakes of these materials,

209828/1 107

that remain in the cistern after the cleaning and / or disinfectant portion of the tablet has been used up. By adding an emulsifier it is achieved that all or substantially all of the water-insoluble material is discharged with the rinse water when the detergent and / or disinfectant dissolves.

ink pen

These are cheap substances with little or no effect in the mix. Shares up to 40 # can be added to make the mixture more economical to manufacture and use. Any substance that does not have one of the above-mentioned effects, can be referred to as a filler «

In use, the object of the invention can be freely introduced into the cistern. He. can also be used in the Cistern are hung, by means of a strip or tape made of metal or plastic or from plastic-covered metal or by means of a suction attachment, which hold the tablet from the upper edge of the box wall or from a projection in the cistern

209828/1107

The tablet can also be hung in a water-permeable box-like device.

The preparation of a cleaning and / or disinfecting mixture according to the invention can be divided into two steps will:

1. Mixing the ingredients. The ingredients can be prepared by two methods depending on the nature of the final composition be mixed.

a) If the physical state of the final composition is soft, it is preferably process of mixing the use of a soap mill «This Procedure is used when soap is used in place of another detergent o

b) The other method is to mix the ingredients at an elevated temperature. It must be observed be that the temperature is kept just above the pour point before the fragrance is added to avoid losses through volatilization.

209828/1107

2. The manufacture of the tablet. Three methods can be used for this, again depending on the physical state of the mixture _{or the like}

a) J ¹ Ur soft materials. The mixture is extruded from a soap press in the form of a long rod and cut into tablets.

b) For soft fabrics. The mixture can be shaped at an elevated temperature and then solidify. Individual shapes can be used, each of which makes a tablet. It can Long ears can also be used as a form and the product after solidifying into individual tablets get cut.

c) If the mixture is hard and brittle, the material can be granulated and fed to a tablet press will. This product can also be independently molded into tablets at elevated temperatures and then solidify, as described under b)

In all cases, the tablets so shaped are preferred wrapped up to avoid losses. Avoid volatilization during storage and transport and they can, if desired, be covered with a water-soluble film to prevent staining of the hand To prevent the user while handling the tablet
