Description

Wäßrige Lösungen von quaternierten Fettsäuretriethanolam nester-Salzen Aqueous solutions of quaternized fatty acid triethanolam ester salts
Gebiet der ErfindungField of the Invention
Die Erfindung betrifft wäßrige Lösungen von quaternierten Fettsäuretriethanolaminester-Salzen mit einem Gehalt an Fett- säureoligoglycerinestern als Verdickungs itteln, Mittel, die diese Komponenten enthalten sowie die Verwendung von Fettsäu- reoligoglycerinestern als Verdickungsmittel für wäßrige Lö¬ sungen von quaternierten Fettsäuretriethanolaminester-Salzen.The invention relates to aqueous solutions of quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts containing fatty acid oligoglycerol esters as thickeners, agents containing these components and the use of fatty acid oligoglycerol esters as thickeners for aqueous solutions of quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Quaternierte Fettsäuretriethanolaminester-Salze, sogenannte "Esterquats" , haben in den letzten Jahren als ökotoxikolo¬ gisch unbedenkliche Rohstoffe für Wäscheweichspuler zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Üblicherweise gelangen die Produkte als alkoholische Konzentrate in den Verkehr und werden von den Herstellern von Avivagemitteln mit Wasser auf eine Anwen¬ derkonzentration, die je nach Anforderung im Bereich von 1 bis 50 Gew.-% Feststoff liegen kann, verdünnt. Sowohl bei der Herstellung von Esterquat-Konzentraten, als auch bei der Formulierung der wäßrigen Mittel, die diese kat¬ ionischen Tenside in unterschiedlichen Mengen enthalten kön¬ nen, treten Viskositätsprobleme auf.Quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, so-called "esterquats", have become increasingly important in recent years as ecotoxicologically safe raw materials for fabric softeners. The products are usually marketed as alcoholic concentrates and are diluted with water by the manufacturers of conditioning agents to a user concentration which, depending on requirements, can be in the range from 1 to 50% by weight of solids. Viscosity problems arise both in the production of ester quat concentrates and in the formulation of the aqueous compositions which can contain these cationic surfactants in different amounts.
Esterquat-Konzentrate mit einem Feststoffgehalt von etwa 80 bis 90 Gew.-% sind zähflüssig und benötigen als Regulatoren Stoffe, die die Viskosität herabsetzen. In der EP-A2 0 165 138 wird hierzu beispielsweise die Verwendung von organischen Salzen wie etwa Natriumgluconat oder kurzkettigen quartären Ammoniumsalzen vorgeschlagen. Gemäß der Lehre der WO 93/16157 (Henkel) kommen für diesen Zweck auch Esterquats auf Basis ungesättigter Fettsäuren, quatemierte Fettsäureamidoamin- Salze, langkettige QAV und diquaternierte Fettsäuretrietha- nola inester-Salze in Betracht.Esterquat concentrates with a solids content of approximately 80 to 90% by weight are viscous and require regulators to reduce the viscosity. EP-A2 0 165 138, for example, proposes the use of organic salts such as sodium gluconate or short-chain quaternary ammonium salts. According to the teaching of WO 93/16157 (Henkel), ester quats based on unsaturated fatty acids, quaternized fatty acid amidoamine salts, long-chain QAV and diquaternized fatty acid triethanola inester salts are also suitable for this purpose.
Bei wäßrigen Anwendungslösungen der quaternierten Fettsäure- triethanola inester-Salze, die einen geringen Feststoffgehalt aufweisen, liegt das Problem jedoch genau umgekehrt: die wä߬ rigen Lösungen sind äußerst dünnflüssig und lassen sich nur schwer dosieren. Übliche Verdickungsmittel, wie sie aus der Kosmetik bekannt sind (Elektrol te, Celluloseether, Fettsäu- realkanolamide etc.), erweisen sich entweder als wenig ge¬ eignet und/oder sind nicht in der Lage, die Produkte dauer¬ haft auf dem gewünschten Viskositätsniveau zu halten.In the case of aqueous application solutions of the quaternized fatty acid triethanola ester salts which have a low solids content, however, the problem is exactly the opposite: the aqueous solutions are extremely thin and difficult to dose. Usual thickening agents, as are known from cosmetics (electrolytes, cellulose ethers, fatty acid realanolamides, etc.), either prove to be unsuitable and / or are unable to permanently add the products to the desired viscosity level hold.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung hat somit darin bestanden, wäßrige Lösungen von quaternierten Fettsäuretriethanolaminester- Salzen mit verbessertem Viskositätsverhalten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Beschreibung der ErfindungThe object of the invention was therefore to provide aqueous solutions of quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts with improved viscosity behavior. Description of the invention
Gegenstand der Erfindung sind wäßrige Lösungen von quater¬ nierten Fettsäuretriethanolaminester-Salzen, die sich dadurch auszeichnen, daß sie als Viskositätsregulatoren 0,01 bis 0,1, vorzugsweise 0,01 bis 0,03 Gew.-% - bezogen auf die Lösungen - gegebenenfalls alkoxylierte Ester von Fettsäuren mit tech¬ nischen Oligoglyceringemischen enthalten.The invention relates to aqueous solutions of quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, which are characterized in that they are, if appropriate, 0.01 to 0.1, preferably 0.01 to 0.03% by weight, based on the solutions, as viscosity regulators contain alkoxylated esters of fatty acids with technical oligoglycerol mixtures.
Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, daß sich Fettsäureoligo- glycerinester und alkoxylierte Fettsäureoligoglycerinester in besonderer Weise als Verdickungsmittel für wäßrige Lösungen von Esterquats eignen. Bei Zusatz dieser Stoffe kann die Vis¬ kosität der wäßrigen Lösungen problemlos auf einen Wert ange¬ hoben werden, der ein müheloses Dosieren ermöglicht. Die Er¬ findung schließt dabei die Erkenntnis ein, daß die Produkte lagerstabil sind, d.h. das einmal eingestellte Viskositätsni¬ veau bleibt auch bei längerer Lagerung praktisch unverändert erhalten. Als besonders überraschend ist ferner die Tatsache zu bewerten, daß die Fettsäureoligoglycerinester nur im Be¬ reich sehr niedriger Konzentrationen als Verdickungsmittel wirksam sind.It has surprisingly been found that fatty acid oligoglycerol esters and alkoxylated fatty acid oligoglycerol esters are particularly suitable as thickeners for aqueous solutions of esterquats. When these substances are added, the viscosity of the aqueous solutions can easily be raised to a value which enables easy metering. The invention includes the knowledge that the products are stable in storage, i.e. the viscosity level which has been set remains practically unchanged even after prolonged storage. The fact that the fatty acid oligoglycerol esters are only effective as a thickener in the range of very low concentrations is also particularly surprising.
Quaternierte Fettsäuretriethanolaminester-SalzeQuaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts
Quaternierte Fettsäuretriethanolaminester-Salze ("Ester¬ quats") stellen bekannte Stoffe dar, die man nach den ein¬ schlägigen Methoden der präparativen organischen Chemie er¬ halten kann. In diesem Zusammenhang sei auf die Internatio¬ nale Patentanmeldung WO 91/01 295 (Henkel) verwiesen, nach der man Triethanolamin in Gegenwart von unterphosphoriger Säure mit Fettsäuren partiell verestert, Luft durchleitet und anschließend mit Dimethylsulfat 'oder Ethylenoxid quaterniert. Stellvertretend für den umfangreichen Stand der Technik sei an dieser Stelle auf die Druckschriften OS 3915867, US 4370272, EP-A2 0239910, EP-A2 0293955, EP-A2 0295739 und EP-A2 309052 verwiesen. Die Verwendung von Esterquats als Avivagemittel für Textilien ist beispielsweise in den Über¬ sichtsartikeln von O.Ponsati in C.R. CED-Kongress, Barcelona, 167 (1992) und R.Puchta in C.R. CED-Kongress, Sitges, 59 (1993) beschrieben worden.Quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts ("ester quats") are known substances which can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. In this connection, reference is made to the international patent application WO 91/01 295 (Henkel), after which triethanolamine in the presence of hypophosphorous acid partially esterified with fatty acids, air is passed through and then quaternized with dimethyl sulfate 'or ethylene oxide. As a representative of the extensive state of the art, reference is made to the documents OS 3915867, US 4370272, EP-A2 0239910, EP-A2 0293955, EP-A2 0295739 and EP-A2 309052. The use of esterquats as softening agents for textiles has been described, for example, in the review articles by O.Ponsati in CR CED-Kongress, Barcelona, 167 (1992) and R.Puchta in CR CED-Kongress, Sitges, 59 (1993).
