Definitions

  • the invention relates to phosphate-free cleaning agents with improved biodegradability for machine dishwashing.
  • Machine dishwashers have the task of cleaning leftovers from dishes, cutlery, glasses, kitchen appliances, etc. to remove.
  • the cleaning agent must promote wetting of the surfaces to be cleaned and water-insoluble dirt particles must be dispersed and emulsified in the washing liquor.
  • the cleaner must suppress the foam caused by food residues, largely prevent visible stains from remaining on the wash ware, remove coffee and tea stains, prevent the build-up of dirt films on the surface of dishes and glassware, bind the water hardness-forming substances from water and food residues and Destroy bacteria.
  • Conventional detergents for dishwashers are strongly alkaline agents and essentially consist of the components alkali metal triphosphate, alkali metal silicate and alkali carbonate.
  • non-foaming surfactants, fillers and chlorine releasers are used.
  • Such cleaning agents are described, for example, in the Tensid paperback, published by H. Stache, Carl Hanser Verlag, Kunststoff, Vienna (1981).
  • phosphate-free dishwashing detergents with reduced alkalinity has recently been developed, which often also does without the use of chlorine-releasing substances.
  • These "mild" dishwashing detergents are usually based on trisodium citrate combined with polycarboxylates as the most important phosphate substitute.
  • the products contain low-foaming nonionic surfactants, enzymes, oxygen-based bleaches (e.g. sodium perborate) and bleach activators such as.
  • B. Tetraacetylethylenediamine Tetraacetylethylenediamine.
  • phosphate substitutes did not show sufficient cleanability, other substances, such as. B. EDTA, are used little for ecological reasons.
  • polycarboxylates in particular homopolymers of acrylic acid and copolymers of acrylic acid and maleic acid, have proven to be suitable phosphate substitutes and are used today in commercially available cleaning agents.
  • dishwashing detergents containing polycarboxylates have only a low biodegradability and are therefore only mineralized to a small extent in the sewage treatment plant.
  • the formulations contain component a, the copolymers, to 1 to 60% by weight, preferably to 2 to 30% by weight, proportions of 2 to 15% by weight being very particularly preferably set.
  • Monomers of group A are monoethylenically unsaturated C4-C8 dicarboxylic acids, their anhydrides or their alkali and / or ammonium salts and / or amine salts.
  • Suitable dicarboxylic acids are, for example, maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid and methylene malonic acid.
  • Maleic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, itaconic anhydride and the corresponding sodium, potassium or ammonium salts of maleic or itaconic acid are preferably used.
  • the group A monomers are preferably present in the monomer mixture in an amount of 10 to 70% by weight, more preferably 20 to 60% by weight and very particularly preferably 25 to 55% by weight.
  • Monomers of group B are monoethylenically unsaturated C3-C10 monocarboxylic acids and their alkali and / or ammonium salts and / or amine salts. These monomers include, for example, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, dimethylacrylic acid, ethyl acrylic acid, vinyl acetic acid and allylacetic acid. From this group of monomers, preference is given to using acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, their mixtures and the sodium, potassium or ammonium salts or mixtures thereof.
  • the group B monomers are preferably 20 to 85% by weight, particularly preferably 25 up to 60% by weight and very particularly preferably 30 to 60% by weight, are present in the monomer mixture.
  • the group C monomers include those which, after copolymerization and subsequent hydrolysis or saponification of the polymer, release one or more hydroxyl groups which are covalently bonded directly to the C-C polymer carbon chain. Examples include: vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, methyl vinyl acetate, methyl vinyl ether, ethylene glycol monovinyl ether and vinylidene carbonate.
  • the group C monomers are preferably present in the monomer mixture in an amount of 1 to 50% by weight, particularly preferably 4 to 40% by weight and very particularly preferably 8 to 30% by weight.
  • group D monomers that can be used to modify the copolymers are, for. B. sulfone groups and sulfate group-containing monomers, such as meth (allylsulfonic acid), vinylsulfonic acid, styrene sulfonic acid, acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid and monomers containing phosphonic acid groups, such as vinylphosphonic acid, allylphosphonic acid and acrylamidomethylpropanephosphonic acid and their salts, and hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate sulfates, allyl sulfates.
  • sulfone groups and sulfate group-containing monomers such as meth (allylsulfonic acid), vinylsulfonic acid, styrene sulfonic acid, acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid and monomers containing phosphonic acid groups, such as vinylphosphonic acid, allylphosphonic acid and acrylamidomethylpropan
  • group D monomers it is also possible - because of the required solubility, but only in a limited amount - to use double-ethylenically unsaturated non-conjugated compounds and polyalkylene glycol esters of (meth) acrylic acid and polyalkylene glycol ether with (meth) allyl alcohol, which may or may not be end-capped.
  • the group D monomers are optionally present in the monomer mixture up to 15% by weight, preferably up to 10% by weight.
  • the copolymers can be prepared by radical polymerization in an aqueous medium. Such a polymerization is described for example in the German patent application with the file number P 43 00 772.4.
  • the copolymers act as dispersants and complexing agents. With them polyvalent metal ions, e.g. B. Ca, Mg and Fe ions, bound in water-soluble complexes.
  • the copolymers disperse precipitated ones Water hardness and dirt particles.
  • the products are characterized by good environmental compatibility.
  • complexing and dispersing agents such as. B. phosphates, phosphonates, non-degradable polyacrylates, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), which have ecological disadvantages, can usually be dispensed with or the amounts of the abovementioned agents can be reduced.
  • the copolymers are biodegradable if they are used in the modified OECD Sturm test (EC Directive 84/449 / EEC C 5 and OECD Guideline 301 B) (see, for example, soap-oil-fat waxes 117 (1991), 740 to 744), have a degree of degradation of ⁇ 60%.
  • the formulations also contain alkali formers b.
  • alkali formers such as alkali metal silicates, alkali disilicates and crystalline alkali layer silicates are particularly suitable.

  • the formulations can also contain dispersing and complexing agents c.
  • Suitable products are, for example, citrates, phosphonates, homopolymers and copolymers of acrylic acid, isoserinediacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and nitrilotriacetic acid and the alkali metal salts of the aforementioned substances.
  • Such agents if included in the recipes, contain up to 60% by weight, preferably in concentrations of 5 to 50% by weight. The use of sodium citrate in concentrations of 10 to 40% by weight is particularly preferred.
  • the formulations can also contain 0 to 10% by weight of low-foaming surfactants d, preferably in amounts of 0.5 to 5% by weight.

  • formulations generally contain further additives in amounts of 0 to 50% by weight, preferably 0 to 25% by weight.
  • Such additives are e.g. B. oxygen-based bleaches, such as sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate, which are generally metered in amounts of 5 to 15 wt .-%. Since dishwashers usually work in the temperature range of 40 - 65 ° C, the oxygen bleaching can be activated by activators such. B. Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) can be improved. The bleach activator TAED is usually used in amounts of 0 to 10% by weight.
