Description

Moderne Fertigbauweisen, pflegeleichte Küchen-, Badezimmer- und Kellereinrichtungen, kunststoffurnierte Möbel, die zunehmende Ausstattung der Haushalte mit Tiefkühltruhen, Kühlschränken, Wasch- und Geschirrspülmaschinen, d.h. Geräten mit emaillierten oder kunststoffbeschichteten grossflächigen Metallwänden haben die Nachfrage nach flüssigen Allzweckreinigungsmitteln für die Anwendung im Haushalt in den letzten Jahren stark ansteigen lassen. Aber auch in Gewerbebetrieben hat die Anwendung derartiger Mittel zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dabei wird eine möglichst einfache und problemlose Anwendbarkeit gefordert. Meist werden die Mittel als vorzugsweise wässrige Konzentrate in den Handel gebracht. Sie lassen sich verdünnt oder unverdünnt auf ein feuchtes saugfähiges Tuch beliebiger Beschaffenheit oder einen Schwamm aufbringen, mit dem dann die harten Oberflächen aus Metall, lackiertem Holz, Kunststoff, keramischen Erzeugnissen wie Porzellan, Fliesen, Kacheln und dergleichen abgewischt und dadurch Staub, Fettschmutz und Flecken entfernt werden. Dabei wird gewünscht, dass diese Oberflächenbehandlung keine Reinigungsmittelflecken und -streifen zurücklässt und keine Nachbehandlung mit einem mit klarem Wasser getränkten, feuchten Tuch erfordert.Modern prefabricated construction methods, easy-care kitchen, bathroom and cellar furnishings, plastic-veneered furniture, the increasing equipment of households with freezers, refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, i.e. Devices with enamelled or plastic-coated large-area metal walls have increased the demand for liquid all-purpose cleaning agents for household use in recent years. But the use of such agents has also become increasingly important in commercial enterprises. It is required that it be as simple and problem-free as possible. The agents are usually marketed as preferably aqueous concentrates. They can be applied diluted or undiluted to a damp, absorbent cloth of any nature or a sponge, which is then used to wipe the hard surfaces made of metal, lacquered wood, plastic, ceramic products such as porcelain, tiles, tiles and the like, thereby causing dust, grease and stains be removed. It is desired that this surface treatment does not leave any detergent stains and stripes behind and does not require post-treatment with a damp cloth soaked in clear water.

Vom Markt her und aus der Literatur sind bereits zahlreiche derartige Reinigungsmittel bekannt. Darüber hinaus ist auch aus der Patentliteratur bekannt, diesen Reinigungsmitteln zur Verstärkung ihrer Reinigungskraft verschiedene Polymere zuzusetzen.Numerous cleaning agents of this type are already known from the market and from the literature. In addition, it is also known from the patent literature to add different polymers to these cleaning agents to increase their cleaning power.

Aus der DE-AS 10 51 440 sind flüssige Reinigungsmittel bekannt, die für alle Zwecke, insbesondere jedoch zum Waschen von Textilien, eingesetzt werden und zur Steigerung des Schmutztragevermögens unter anderem wasserlösliche Cellulose- oder Stärkederivate oder auch wasserlösliche oder kolloidal lösliche Polymerisate, wie Polyvinylpyrrolidon, enthalten können.DE-AS 10 51 440 discloses liquid cleaning agents which are used for all purposes, but especially for washing textiles, and to increase the dirt-carrying capacity, inter alia, water-soluble cellulose or starch derivatives or else water-soluble or colloidally soluble polymers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone. can contain.

Aus der AT-PS 2 78 216 sind flüssige Reinigungsmittel bekannt, die ebenfalls wasserlösliche hochmolekulare Substanzen als Schmutzträger enthalten können. Als Beispiele werden wasserlösliche Salze der Polyacrylsäure und auch wasserlösliche Derivate der Cellulose wie Carboxymethylcellulose genannt.AT-PS 2 78 216 discloses liquid cleaning agents which can also contain water-soluble high-molecular substances as dirt carriers. Examples include water-soluble salts of polyacrylic acid and also water-soluble derivatives of cellulose such as carboxymethyl cellulose.

Aus der US-PT 35 91 509 sind flüssige Allzweckreiniger bekannt, die neben wasserlöslichen synthetischen oberflächenaktiven Substanzen, organischen Lösungsmitteln und gegebenenfalls wasserlöslichen Gerüstsubstanzen eine geringe Menge einer speziellen wasserlöslichen Carboxymethylcellulose, nämlich einer solchen mit einem Substitutionsgrad von etwa 1 bis etwa 2 und einem Polymerisationsgrad von etwa 1000 bis etwa 3000 sowie Wasser enthalten.From US-PT 35 91 509 liquid all-purpose cleaners are known which, in addition to water-soluble synthetic surface-active substances, organic solvents and optionally water-soluble builders, contain a small amount of a special water-soluble carboxymethyl cellulose, namely one with a degree of substitution of about 1 to about 2 and a degree of polymerization of contain about 1000 to about 3000 as well as water.

Aus der DE-OS 26 10 995 sind flüssige gerüststoffhaltige Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen mit geringen Mengen an Tensiden in Kombination mit geringen Mengen eines Gemisches aus Polyvinylalkohol und/oder Polyvinylpyrrolidon und Polysaccharidsalz bekannt, die ebenfalls ein verbessertes Schmutzentfernungsvermögen aufweisen sollen.From DE-OS 26 10 995 liquid builder-containing cleaning agents for hard surfaces with small amounts of surfactants in combination with small amounts of a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and / or polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polysaccharide salt are known, which should also have an improved dirt removal capacity.

Schliesslich sind noch aus der DE-AS 27 09 690 flüssige Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen bekannt, die ebenfalls reinigungsverstärkende Zusätze an wasserlöslichen hochmolekularen Substanzen, wie Polyvinylalkohol, Polyvinylpyrrolidon und Carboxymethylcellulose, enthalten können.Finally, from DE-AS 27 09 690 liquid cleaning agents for hard surfaces are known, which can also contain cleaning-enhancing additives to water-soluble high-molecular substances, such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and carboxymethyl cellulose.

Keiner der vorstehend genannten polymeren Reinigungsverstärker genügt voll den Ansprüchen, die der Verbraucher heute an ein flüssiges Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen stellt. So erklärt sich auch, dass diese teilweise schon lange bekannten Polymeren keine nennenswerte Bedeutung als Zusätze zu den in grossen Mengen verwendeten Haushaltsreinigern erlangten. Einige Nachteile dieser bekannten Polymeren sind z.B. unzureichende Löslichkeit, zu starke Verdikkungswirkung oder Rückstands-, d.h. Schlieren-oder Filmbildung bei der Anwendung der Mittel, wenn diese Polymere in den Mengen enthalten, die zu einer Reinigungsverstärkung notwendig sind.None of the above-mentioned polymeric cleaning enhancers fully meets the demands that the consumer places today on a liquid cleaning agent for hard surfaces. This also explains why these polymers, some of which have been known for a long time, have no significant significance as additives to the household cleaners used in large quantities. Some disadvantages of these known polymers are e.g. insufficient solubility, excessive thickening effect or residue, i.e. Streaking or filming when using the agents if they contain polymers in the amounts necessary for cleaning enhancement.

Überraschenderweise wurde nun gefunden, dass man zu einer völlig unerwarteten Steigerung der Reinigungsleistung flüssiger Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen kommt, wenn man anstelle der bekannten Zusätze an schmutztragenden Verbindungen wesentlich geringere Mengen an Polyethylenglycolen mit einem bestimmten Molgewicht zusetzt.Surprisingly, it has now been found that a completely unexpected increase in the cleaning performance of liquid cleaning agents for hard surfaces can be achieved if, instead of the known additions of dirt-bearing compounds, significantly smaller amounts of polyethylene glycols with a certain molecular weight are added.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft daher ein flüssiges Reinigungsmittel für harte Oberflächen in Form verdünnter, vorzugsweise wässriger Lösungen mit einem Gehalt an anionischen, nichtionischen oder kationischen Tensiden oder geeigneten Gemischen daraus, organischen und/ oder anorganischen Gerüstsubstanzen, gegebenenfalls wasserlöslichen Lösungsmitteln oder Lösungsvermittlern sowie sonstigen üblichen Bestandteilen derartiger Reinigungsmittel und organischen Polymeren, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass man als organische Polymere 0,05 bis 0,5, vorzugsweise 0,08 bis 0,4 Gew.-% wasserlösliche Polyethylenglycole mit einem Molgewicht zwischen 300000 und 4000000, vorzugsweise zwischen 500 000 und 1 000 000 einsetzt. Bei diesen Einsatzmengen, die eine unerwartete Reinigungsverstärkung bewirken, ist keiner der oben genannten Nachteile der bekannten Polymere zu beobachten.The present invention therefore relates to a liquid cleaning agent for hard surfaces in the form of dilute, preferably aqueous solutions containing anionic, nonionic or cationic surfactants or suitable mixtures thereof, organic and / or inorganic builders, optionally water-soluble solvents or solubilizers and other customary components of such Detergent and organic polymers, which is characterized in that as organic polymers 0.05 to 0.5, preferably 0.08 to 0.4 wt .-% water-soluble polyethylene glycols with a molecular weight between 300,000 and 4,000,000, preferably between 500,000 and 1,000,000. With these amounts of use, which bring about an unexpected cleaning enhancement, none of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known polymers can be observed.

Die genannten Polyethylenglycole werden in bekannter Weise dadurch hergestellt, dass man Ethylenglycole in bekannter Weise einem Polykondensationsprozess unterwirft. Man kann sie auch als Kondensationspolymere des Ethylenoxids mit Ethylenglycol oder Wasser auffassen. Sie besitzen die allgemeine Formel HO{-CH2-CH2-O)"H, wobei n im Falle der erfindungsgemäss eingesetzten Polyethylenglycole zwischen 4800 und 64 600 variieren kann.The polyethylene glycols mentioned are prepared in a known manner by subjecting ethylene glycols to a polycondensation process in a known manner. They can also be considered as condensation polymers of ethylene oxide with ethylene glycol or water. They have the general formula HO {-CH 2 - CH 2 -O) " H, where n can vary between 4800 and 64 600 in the case of the polyethylene glycols used according to the invention.

Derartige Polymere sind auch im Handel erhältlich und werden von der Firma Union Carbon Carbide Corporation (UCC) unter dem Namen «POL YOX@» vertrieben.Such polymers are also commercially available and are sold by Union Carbon Carbide Corporation (UCC) under the name “POL YOX @”.

Es können praktisch alle üblichen Tenside und Gemische von Tensiden eingesetzt werden, die im Molekül wenigstens einen hydrophoben organischen Rest und einen wasserlöslich machenden anionischen, nichtionischen oder kationischen Rest enthalten. Bei dem hydrophoben Rest handelt es sich meist um einen aliphatischen Kohlenwasserstoffrest mit 8-26, vorzugsweise 10-22 und insbesondere 12-18 C-Atomen oder um einen alkylaromatischen Rest mit 6-18, vorzugsweise 8-16 aliphatischen C-Atomen. Bei den Tensidgemischen wäre die bekannte Unverträglichkeit der meisten anionischen und kationischen Tenside miteinander zu beachten.Practically all conventional surfactants and mixtures of surfactants can be used which contain at least one hydrophobic organic residue and one water-solubilizing anionic, nonionic or cationic residue in the molecule. The hydrophobic radical is usually an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical with 8-26, preferably 10-22 and in particular 12-18 C atoms or an alkyl aromatic radical with 6-18, preferably 8-16 aliphatic C atoms. In the case of the surfactant mixtures, the known incompatibility of most anionic and cationic surfactants would have to be taken into account.

Bevorzugt verwendet man in Mengen von 1-30 Gew.-% Tenside aus der Gruppe der synthetischen anionischen Tenside, der Seifen und der nichtionischen Tenside und deren Gemische. Besonders bevorzugt sind Tensidkombinationen aus anionischen Tensiden aus der Gruppe der Sulfonat- und Sulfattenside und den nichtionischen Tensiden vom Typ der ethoxylierten Alkanole, Alkenole und Alkylphenole. Als weitere Komponente kann eine Seife enthalten sein.Is preferably used in amounts of 1-30 wt .-% surfactants from the group of synthetic anionic surfactants, soaps and nonionic surfactants and mixtures thereof. Surfactant combinations of anionic surfactants from the group of the sulfonate and sulfate surfactants and the nonionic surfactants of the ethoxylated alkanols, alkenols and alkylphenols type are particularly preferred. A soap can be included as a further component.

Wegen der geringen Menge an den erfindungsgemäss verwendeten Polymeren beträgt das Gewichtsverhältnis der Gesamttensidmenge zu dem Polymeren mindestens 10:1, insbesondere mindestens 20:1.Because of the small amount of the polymers used according to the invention, the weight ratio of the total amount of surfactant to the polymer is at least 10: 1, in particular at least 20: 1.

Als anionische Tenside sind z.B. Seifen aus natürlichen oder synthetischen, vorzugsweise gesättigten Fettsäuren, gegebenenfalls auch aus Harz- oder Naphthensäuren brauchbar.

The framework substances here also include the alkali metal hydroxides, of which the potassium hydroxide is preferably used.

Als anorganische komplexbildende Gerüstsubstanzen eignen sich besonders die alkalisch reagierenden Polyphosphate, insbesondere die Tripolyphosphate sowie die Pyrophosphate. Sie können ganz oder teilweise durch organische Komplexbildner ersetzt werden. Weitere erfindungsgemäss brauchbare anorganische Gerüstsubstanzen sind beispielsweise Dicarbonate, Carbonate, Borate, Silikate oder Orthophosphate der Alkalien.The alkaline polyphosphates, in particular the tripolyphosphates and the pyrophosphates, are particularly suitable as inorganic complex-forming framework substances. They can be replaced in whole or in part by organic complexing agents. Further inorganic builders that can be used according to the invention are, for example, dicarbonates, carbonates, borates, silicates or orthophosphates of the alkalis.

Versuchetries

Zum Nachweis der Vorteile der erfindungsgemässen gegenüber den bekannten Reinigungsmitteln für harte Oberflächen wurden Vergleiche hinsichtlich ihres Reinigungsvermögens und ihrer Rückstandsbildung angestellt.To demonstrate the advantages of the cleaning agents according to the invention over the known cleaning agents for hard surfaces, comparisons were made with regard to their cleaning ability and their residue formation.

Zur Prüfung des Reinigungsvermögens diente die unten beschriebene Testmethode, die sehr gut reproduzierbare Ergebnisse liefert. Ferner wurden die erfindungsgemässen Reinigungsmittel und je ein Vergleichsprodukt für mehrere Wochen zum Gebrauchstest an Hausfrauen übergeben. Nach der Testzeit wurden diese Testpersonen zu ihren Erfahrungen hinsichtlich Reinigungswirkung und Rückstandsverhalten befragt.The test method described below was used to test the cleaning ability and provides very reproducible results. Furthermore, the cleaning agents according to the invention and a comparison product each were handed over to housewives for several weeks for use testing. After the test period, these test persons were asked about their experiences with regard to cleaning effect and residue behavior.

Ferner wurde in Laborversuchen auf Spiegeln, schwarzen Kacheln und Kunststoffflächen das Rückstandsverhalten überprüft. Hierbei wurden jeweils nebeneinanderliegende Flächen mit den verdünnten Lösungen der erfindungsgemässen Mittel und mit einem Vergleichsprodukt behandelt. Ohne Nachwischen wurden die Testflächen an der Luft trocknen gelassen und das Aussehen der trockenen Flächen durch mehrere Testpersonen beurteilt.In addition, the residue behavior was checked in laboratory tests on mirrors, black tiles and plastic surfaces. Here, adjacent areas were treated with the dilute solutions of the agents according to the invention and with a comparative product. The test areas were allowed to air dry without wiping and the appearance of the dry areas was assessed by several test persons.

Prüfung der Reinigungswirkung Das zu prüfende Reinigungsmittel wird auf eine künstlich angeschmutzte Kunststoffoberfläche gegeben. Als künstliche Anschmutzung wird ein Gemisch aus Russ, Maschinenöl, Triglycerid gesättigter Fettsäuren und niedersiedendem aliphatischem Kohlenwasserstoff verwendet. Die Testfläche von 26x28 cm wird mit Hilfe eines Flächenstreichers gleichmässig mit 2 g der künstlichen Anschmutzung beschichtet.Testing the cleaning effect The cleaning agent to be tested is placed on an artificially soiled plastic surface. A mixture of carbon black, machine oil, triglyceride, saturated fatty acids and low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon is used as artificial soiling. The test area of 26x28 cm is evenly coated with 2 g of artificial soiling with the help of a surface coater.

Ein Kunststoffschwamm wird jeweils mit 12 ml der zu prüfenden Reinigungsmittellösung getränkt und maschinell auf der Testfläche bewegt. Nach 6 Wischbewegungen wird die gereinigte Testfläche unter fliessendes Wasser gehalten und der lose sitzende Schmutz entfernt. Die Reinigungswirkung, d.h., der Weissgrad der so gereinigten Kunststoffoberfläche wird mit einem photoelektrischen Farbmessgerät LF 90 (Dr. B. Lange) gemessen. Als Weiss-Standard dient die saubere weisse Kunststoffoberfläche.A plastic sponge is soaked with 12 ml of the detergent solution to be tested and moved mechanically on the test surface. After 6 wiping movements, the cleaned test area is kept under running water and the loose dirt is removed. The cleaning effect, i.e. the degree of whiteness of the plastic surface cleaned in this way, is measured with a photoelectric color measuring device LF 90 (Dr. B. Lange). The clean white plastic surface serves as the white standard.

Da bei der Messung der sauberen Oberfläche auf 100% eingestellt und die angeschmutzte Fläche mit 0 angezeigt wird, sind die abgelesenen Werte bei den gereinigten Kunststoff-Flächen mit dem Prozentgehalt Reinigungsvermögen (% RV) gleichzusetzen. Bei den nachstehenden Versuchen sind die angegebenen %-RV-Werte die nach dieser Methode ermittelten Werte für das Reinigungsvermögen der untersuchten Reinigungsmittel. Sie stellen jeweils Mittelwerte aus 4fachen Bestimmungen dar.Since the measurement of the clean surface is set to 100% and the soiled area is displayed with 0, the read values for the cleaned plastic areas are to be equated with the percentage cleaning capacity (% RV). In the following tests, the% -RV values given are the values for the cleaning power of the investigated cleaning agents determined using this method. They represent mean values from fourfold determinations.

Der Allzweckreiniger zeigt bei der Anwendung als 1%ige wässrige Lösung ein RV von 85%. Das Vergleichsprodukt ohne POLYOX ein RV von 64%. Setzte man dem Vergleichsprodukt 0,3 Gew.-% Polyvinylalkohol zu, so wurde ebenfalls nur ein Wert von 63% RV erhalten. Erhöhte man dessen Anteil auf 0,5 Gew.-%, so war trotzdem keine Steigerung der Reinigungsleistung festzustellen. Ausserdem wurde das Produkt dabei so hochviskos, dass eine weitere Erhöhung des Anteils an Polyvinylalkohol schon allein aus diesem Grunde nicht mehr sinnvoll war.The all-purpose cleaner shows an RV of 85% when used as a 1% aqueous solution. The comparative product without POLYOX an RV of 64%. If 0.3% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol was added to the comparison product, only a value of 63% RV was likewise obtained. If its proportion was increased to 0.5% by weight, there was still no increase in cleaning performance. In addition, the product became so highly viscous that a further increase in the proportion of polyvinyl alcohol no longer made sense for this reason alone.

Bei der Prüfung des Rückstandsverhaltens wurde eine schwarze Kachelwand zur Hälfte mit der 1%igen Lösung des Reinigungsmittels nach Beispiel 1 und zur anderen Hälfte mit der des Vergleichsmusters mit 0,3 Gew.-% Polyvinylalkohol abgewischt.
