Description

 Detergents or cleaners of liquid, gel or paste consistency

The present invention relates to a liquid, gel or pasty detergent or cleaning agent which comprises (a) photocatalytic material, (b) anionic surfactant, in particular fatty alcohol sulphate and / or alkylbenzenesulphonate, (c) nonionic surfactant, in particular fatty alcohol alcoholate and / or alkylpolyglycoside, (d) electrolyte (e) selected from acid (s), base (s) and / or salts (s). It also relates to a process for the preparation of a corresponding washing or cleaning agent and to processes for applying photocatalytic material to textiles. It further relates to methods of treatment, in particular cleaning, of textiles and hard surfaces.

The use of photocatalytic materials to control soil and / or unwanted microorganisms is desirable because the photocatalytic material may utilize electromagnetic radiation of a suitable wavelength range to degrade or deactivate debris and / or unwanted microorganisms by photocatalytic or photochemical reaction.

As a rule, suitable photocatalytic material is very finely divided substances, for example in the size range of at least <500 nm. The incorporation of such photocatalytic material in detergents and cleaners of non-solid consistency can lead to problems. For example, it may be possible for the photocatalytic material to settle or float in a liquid detergent or cleaning agent. The consumer would then, for example, shake the liquid detergent or cleaning agent in question before use in order to homogenize it again, which is not a problem, but still uncomfortable.

However, the consumer generally desires detergents and cleaners of non-solid consistency, which can also be used directly after storage and transport at the time of application.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage and transport-stable washing or cleaning agent of non-solid consistency which comprises photocatalytic material.

This object is achieved by the subject matter of the invention. It is a liquid, gel or pasty detergent or cleaning agent, which (a) photocatalytic material,

(B) anionic surfactant, in particular fatty alcohol sulfate and / or alkylbenzenesulfonate

(c) nonionic surfactants, in particular fatty alcohol ethoxylates and / or alkyl polyglycosides, and

(d) containing electrolytes selected from the group of acid (s), base (s) and / or salt (s).

Of course, other conventional ingredients of detergents and cleaners may be included.

The detergents or cleaners according to the invention can be used for cleaning textiles and / or hard surfaces, in particular also tableware.

The contained photocatalytic material, which is preferably finely divided, in particular has particle sizes in the range <500 nm, makes use of electromagnetic radiation of a suitable wavelength range, by means of which e.g. Soils or microbes by photocatalytic or photochemical reaction, e.g. by oxidation or reduction, degradable, deactivatable or reducible. The photocatalytic material is in particular a daylight-active material, in particular a daylight-active bleach, thus uses the electromagnetic radiation of daylight. For a preferential deployment of the photocatalytic material, the presence of preferably oxygen and / or water is required. For this purpose it suffices e.g. the dissolved oxygen present in water or the water contained in the air (air humidity).

The photocatalytic activity of the photocatalytic material advantageously relates to natural or artificial light in the wavelength range of 10-1200 nm, advantageously 300-1200 nm, preferably between 380-800 nm. If the photocatalytic material in particular the visible to the human eye radiation of the visible region of the Spectrum is used with wavelengths between 380 to 800 nm for the above purposes of degradation, deactivation or reduction of impurities, then there is a preferred embodiment of the invention. Advantageously, even the light incident through glass windows in closed living spaces (diffused daylight) suffices to ensure the desired photocatalytic activity of the photocatalytic material. Even light from technical light sources (artificial light), such as from commercial incandescent bulbs (bulbs), halogen lamps, fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent lamps (energy-saving lamps) and light sources based on light-emitting diodes, is sufficient to bring about the desired effect. In particular, the natural sunlight leads to very good effects.

The photocatalytic material can be effective in several ways during and after the textile treatment.

First, the effect in the textile treatment bath is called. If you e.g. the textiles to be treated are placed in a tub containing a wash liquor into which the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention has previously been added and then exposing this textile treatment bath, for example light, e.g. in the sun, then the photocatalytic material in the textile treatment bath develops a general cleaning performance. Such is also possible in the textile treatment in an automatic washing machine, which has a viewing window (porthole), as is customary at least in front loaders and / or in a washing machine with an internal light source.

Secondly, the effect of drying the textile is mentioned. The photocatalytic material applied to the textiles to be dried as part of the textile treatment can develop a general cleaning performance in conjunction with light irradiation, for example by sunlight when drying on a line outdoors. Such is also possible in the textile drying in an automatic clothes dryer with internal light source.

Thirdly, the effect after drying of the textile should be mentioned. The dried textiles are not really dry in the true sense, but contain a residual moisture, which is in balance with the ambient humidity (room humidity, body moisture). These conditions are sufficient to develop a general cleaning performance, caused by the deposited on the textiles photocatalytic material under light irradiation, for example by sunlight. This latter effect is particularly advantageous because the treated garments are as it were provided with a long-term protection, so that the clothing is equipped with a self-cleaning ability. This self-cleaning power is advantageous, for example, to counteract the development of fetid odors, which quickly form on clothing, for example after sweat-inducing activities (eg sports activities). This self-cleaning capability is advantageous, for example, to prevent or at least complicate the colonization of microbes on textiles. This self-cleaning capability is advantageous, for example, to prevent or aggravate the build-up and sticking of, in particular, colored stains on fibers. The photocatalytically active material is advantageous in order to improve the Wiederschwasbarkeit of colored stains. The photocatalytically active material is capable of destroying the structure of, in particular, colored stains (dyes), for example by oxidation, under the action of light. The conjugated double bonds, which are responsible for the absorption of visible light in the dyes and thus for the coloring, are cleaved or hydroxylated. The dye loses its coloring properties and also its strong fiber adhesion. At the same time the water solubility is increased. Thus it can be prevented that a colored spot "eats" into the textile and destroys it permanently.

In particular, means for stain pre- or post-treatment thus make it possible to produce an improved overall washing performance. By combining stain pretreatment agents with liquid detergents, stain removal can be significantly increased. Bleachable stains, which often appear as residual stains after washing with liquid detergents, can subsequently be lightened significantly until they are completely removed. Advantageously, the Wiederauswaschbarkeit color stains from textiles that have been washed with the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention, facilitated. Usually, when removing stains on textiles, quick action is the top priority, because the fresher a stain is, the easier it is to remove. A drying of stains or other contaminants, such as blood, coffee, tea, pen, fruit, red wine or tar stains, especially over several days should usually be avoided so that it does not come to a possibly irreversible fiber adhesion. The present invention brings relief here, because textiles treated with detergents according to the invention showed that the fiber adhesion of stains or other contaminants was weakened so that they could be washed out more easily.

The washing or cleaning agent according to the invention also makes possible a very textile-sparing textile treatment, e.g. Stain treatment.

Advantageously, not only the elimination of conventional soiling, but also the elimination, deactivation, denaturation or reduction of microbes, especially of germs, fungi, yeasts, mites, preferably house dust mites, or quite generally of (interior) noxious with allergenic potential.

Noxa is understood to mean factors that can damage the human organism, or at least impair people's well-being. These are in particular the just mentioned factors, especially microbiological factors such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.

Another advantage of the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is that it contributes to the reduction, elimination or neutralization of fetid odors. The fetid odor can advantageously be reduced so that a previously existing odor nuisance is no longer present. The development of fetid odors can be prevented for a longer period of time. This is also a great advantage since, overall, a general cleaning performance can be combined with the elimination of harmful microbes in one treatment step and, in addition, a blocking or prevention of foul odors with long-term effect is provided. This goes beyond the function of previous washing or cleaning agents significantly. The formation of bad odors can thus be reduced.

The development of the general cleaning effect which can be observed in the use of the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is particularly effective with regard to colored impurities, in particular due to red to blue anthocyanin dyes, e.g. Cyanidin, e.g. from cherries or blueberries, red betanidine from beetroot, orange-red carotenoids, e.g. Lycopene, beta-carotene, e.g. from tomatoes or carrots, yellow curcuma dyes, e.g. Curcumin, e.g. curry and mustard, brown tannins, e.g. from tea, fruit, red wine, deep brown humic acid, e.g. from coffee, tea, cocoa, green chlorophyll, for example, from green grasses, technical dyes from cosmetics, inks, colored pencils, colored metabolites and / or excretions from molds or other Mirkoflora or microbial growth or microbes.

The above advantages also extend to the use of the hard surface cleaning agent of the invention, such as e.g. Floors etc.

The washing or cleaning agent according to the invention also meets today's washing habits of consumers. This increasingly prefer washing at lower temperatures, eg <4O ⁰ C. A clear death of germs but only starts at temperatures> 4O ⁰ C, only above a temperature of 55 ⁰ C, most bacteria are killed. Therefore, if washed for a long time only at 3O ⁰ C, under certain circumstances can no longer guarantee sufficient hygienic purity. In particular, products containing lipases can have an unpleasant side effect. Since the lipases are absorbed by the tissue and remain there after washing, they can lead to unpleasant, rancid odors with not yet completely removed oils / fats. These can be produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of the residual substances with the release of, for example, short-chain fatty acids. The use of the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention allows the consumer the consistent washing at T <40 ⁰ C with improved hygiene effect and elimination of bad odors.

The present invention enables the provision of storage and transport stable detergents or cleaners. A big advantage of this washing or cleaning agent is that it too can be provided with increased, even significantly increased viscosities without the need for the use of (significant) viscosity increasing agents, such as clay minerals, in particular of viscosity increasing polymers such as polyacrylates, xanthan gum, guar gum, hydroxycelluloses needed. On the one hand, a great disadvantage of such viscosity-increasing agents is the high costs associated with their use, and secondly, these viscosity-increasing agents are not wash-active or, if at all, only a small contribution to the washing performance. In some soiling such as loam or engine oil, the washing performance is even reduced by the use of viscosity increasing agents or polymers.

Conventional thickeners usually lead to a deterioration of the washing performance

Pigment soiling and at increased cost of the formulation.

In addition, certain viscosity increasing agents are incompatible with some enzymes. When

Examples are here frequently used thickeners such. Guar gum, locust bean gum or tara gum, which is described e.g. are incompatible with mannanases.

Thus, the aforesaid viscosity-increasing agents are usually only a formulation that increases the cost of the formulation, which often has a negative effect on the formulation.

However, since the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention manages without these conventional "Ballasf" thickeners, their negative influence on the product performance is ruled out. A viscosity increase to be realized is effected according to the invention by the surfactant system in interaction with the electrolyte. The viscosity can be flexibly varied in a very wide range, from normal liquid system over gel system to very viscous, paste-like and dough-like systems.

Overall, the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention enables a flexible viscosity adjustment over a very wide viscosity range and thus also a stable incorporation of the photocatalytic material into the detergent formulations without having to use polymer-based or other conventional thickeners.

In particular, the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention comes without the use of thickening systems based on a) polyacrylate (derivatives), preferably crosslinked polyacrylates b) structuring gums, preferably xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, gellan gum, wellan gum or carrageenan, c) Mixtures of the kind mentioned above. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is free of such thickening systems, ie it contains <1, 5 wt .-%, preferably <1, 0 wt .-%, advantageously <0.75 wt .-%, in particular 0% by weight thereof.

In a washing or cleaning agent according to the invention, the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalytic material is retained and a uniform distribution of the photocatalytic material in the product is made possible.

The washing or cleaning agents according to the invention necessarily contain nonionic surfactants, in particular fatty alcohol alkoxylates and / or alkylpolyglycosides. The fatty alcohol alkoxylates used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and preferably on average 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol in which the alcohol radical can be linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or linear and methyl-branched radicals may be present in the mixture, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten. In particular, however, alcohol ethoxylates with linear radicals of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 C atoms, for example coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol are preferred. Preferred ethoxylated alcohols include, for example, C _t2 - _U - alcohols containing 3 EO, 4 EO or 7 EO, C ₉ n-alcohol with 7 EO, C-ms alcohols containing 3 EO, 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO , C ₁₂ -i ₈ -alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO or 7 EO and mixtures of these, such as mixtures of C ₁₂ -i ₄ -alcohol with 3 EO and C ₁₂ -i ₈ -alcohol with 7 EO. The stated degrees of ethoxylation represent statistical averages, which may be an integer or a fractional number for a particular product. Preferred alcohol ethoxylates have a narrow homolog distribution (narrow rank ethoxylates, NRE). It is also possible to use fatty alcohols with more than 12 EO. Examples of these are tallow fatty alcohol with 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO. Nonionic surfactants containing EO and PO groups together in the molecule can also be used according to the invention. Here, block copolymers with EO-PO block units or PO-EO block units can be used, but also EO-PO-EO copolymers or PO-EO-PO copolymers. Of course, it is also possible to use mixed alkoxylated nonionic surfactants in which EO and PO units are not distributed in blocks, but randomly. Such products are available by the simultaneous action of ethylene and propylene oxide on fatty alcohols.

The preferably usable alkyl polyglycosides can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. Here is an extensive literature. The alkyl polyglycosides can be derived from aldoses or ketoses with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferably glucose.

Preferred alkyl polyglycosides, RO- [G] _P , are now described in more detail: In the formula RO- [G] _P , G is a glycose unit having 5 or 6 C atoms, preferably glucose. R may be an alkyl radical. The alkyl radical R can be derived from primary saturated alcohols. Typical examples are butanol-1, caproic, eananthic, caprylic, pelargonic, capric alcohol, undecanol-1, lauryl alcohol, tridecanol-1, myristyl alcohol, pentadecanol-1, cetyl alcohol, palmityl alcohol, heptadecanol-1, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, nonadecanol -1, arachidyl alcohol, heneicosanol-1, and behenyl alcohol and their technical mixtures. R may be an alkylene radical. The alkenyl radical R can also be derived from primary unsaturated alcohols. Typical examples of unsaturated alcohols are undecene-1-ol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, ricinoleic alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, linolenyl alcohol, gadoleyl alcohol, arachidonic alcohol, erucalcohol, brassidyl alcohol, palmoleyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, arachyl alcohol, and technical mixtures thereof.

Preference is given to alkyl or alkenyl radicals R which are derived from primary alcohols having 6 to 16 carbon atoms.

Particularly suitable are alkyl polyglycosides of chain length C8-C10, e.g. incurred as a preliminary to the separation by distillation of technical C8-C18 coconut fatty alcohol and may be contaminated with a proportion of less than 6 wt .-% C12 alcohol and alkyl polyglycosides based on technical C9 / 11-oxo alcohols.

The alkyl or alkenyl radical R can also be derived from primary alcohols having 12 to 14 carbon atoms. The index number p in the general formula RO- [G] _p indicates the degree of oligomerization, ie the distribution of mono- and oligoglycosides, and stands for a number between 1 and 10. While p in a given compound must always be an integer, and here in particular If p = 1 to 3 can be assumed, the value p for a specific alkylpolyglycoside is an analytically determined arithmetic variable, which usually represents a fractional number. Preferably, alkyl polyglycosides having a mean degree of oligomerization p of 1, 1 to 2.0 are used. From an application point of view, those alkylpolyglycosides whose degree of oligomerization is less than 2.0 and in particular between 1.2 and 1.7 are preferred. Preference is given to using alkylpolyglycosides of the formula RO - [G] _P , where p is from 1 to 3 and R is an alkyl radical having from 6 to 16 carbon atoms.

In addition, detergents or cleaning agents according to the invention necessarily contain anionic surfactant and in particular fatty alcohol sulfate and / or alkylbenzenesulfonate. As fatty alcohol sulfate are the alkali metal salts and in particular the sodium salts of sulfuric acid half esters of C ₁₂ -C ₁₈ fatty alcohols, for example from coconut fatty alcohol, tallow fatty alcohol, lauryl, myristyl, cetyl or stearyl alcohol or C ₁₀ -C ₂ o-oxo alcohols and those half esters secondary alcohols of these chain lengths are preferred. Also preferred are alk (en) ylsulfates of said chain length, which contain a synthetic, straight-chain alkyl radical produced on a petrochemical basis, which have an analogous degradation behavior as the adequate compounds on the Base of oleochemical raw materials. From the washing are the C ₁₂ -C ₁₆ -AIkVl- sulfate and Ci _Σ C-is-alkyl sulfates, and C ₁₄ -C ₁₅ alkyl sulfates are preferred. 2,3-alkyl sulfates, which may for example be obtained as commercial products from Shell Oil Company under the name DAN ^®, are suitable anionic surfactants.

Although the use of fatty alcohol sulfate as the anionic surfactant is highly preferred according to the invention, it is also possible to use, in addition to the fatty alcohol sulphate or else another or other anionic surfactants, especially alkylbenzenesulphonates, in particular linear alkylbenzenesulphonates. However, the use of fatty alcohol sulfate and / or alkyl benzene sulfonate is most preferred. Other suitable anionic surfactants will be described below.

In a preferred embodiment, the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention contains microcapsules or speckles, with a diameter along their largest spatial extent of 0.01 to 10,000 .mu.m, as dispersed particles, these microcapsules or speckles preferably containing nanoscale photocatalytic material, preferably the entire photocatalytic Material included. The detergent or cleaning agent of the present invention may contain both photocatalytic material dispersed as such, it may contain photocatalytic material contained in microcapsules or speckles, photocatalytic material may be dispersedly contained as such, and at the same time photocatalytic material may be contained in microcapsules or speckles. It may also contain microcapsules or speckles that contain no photocatalytic material, but other active ingredients.

Nanoscale photocatalytic material has a particle size (based on the diameter along the largest spatial extent) of <500 nm. The use of microcapsules or speckles enables a particularly homogeneous distribution of the photocatalytic material in the liquid matrix. This also results in a still further improved stability of the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention. In particular, possible decomposition processes, which otherwise might at least hypothetically result from the activity of the photocatalytic material in the detergent matrix, can be suppressed to the greatest extent possible. Regardless of the use of microcapsules or speckles and the use of opaque containers for packaging the laundry detergents or cleaning agents according to the invention is very advantageous, because thereby the activity of the photocatalytic material in the washing or cleaning agent for the period of storage and transport safely inhibited or completely is suppressed. The use of opaque containers for packaging the detergents or cleaners according to the invention is very advantageous. Also preferred are disposable portions, eg pouches. Thus, if the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is contained in an opaque container (packaging), the container being in particular impermeable to electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of 10-1200 nm, preferably 380-800 nm, then a preferred embodiment of the invention is present.

The use of microcapsules or speckles, optionally in combination with the use of opaque containers for packaging, ensures inter alia that the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention to the consumer at the time of application with full vigilance and cleaning power and in visually appealing form for Available.

The term "microcapsule" is understood to mean aggregates which contain at least one solid or liquid core which is enclosed by at least one continuous shell, in particular a shell of polymer (s). These are usually finely dispersed liquid or solid phases coated with film-forming polymers, during the production of which the polymers precipitate on the material to be enveloped after emulsification and coacervation or interfacial polymerization. The microscopic capsules can be dried like powder. Besides mononuclear microcapsules, multinuclear aggregates, also called microspheres, are known, which contain two or more cores distributed in the continuous shell material. Mono- or polynuclear microcapsules can also be enclosed by an additional second, third, etc., sheath. Preferred are mononuclear microcapsules with a continuous shell. The shell may be made of natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic materials. Naturally, shell materials are, for example, gum arabic, agar agar, agarose, maltodextrins, alginic acid or its salts, for example sodium or calcium alginate, fats and fatty acids, cetyl alcohol, collagen, chitosan, lecithins, gelatin, albumin, shellac, polysaccharides, such as starch or dextran , Sucrose and Waxes. Semi-synthetic shell materials include chemically modified celluloses, in particular cellulose esters and ethers, for example cellulose acetate, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, and also starch derivatives, in particular starch ethers and esters. Synthetic shell materials are, for example, polymers such as polyacrylates, polyamides, polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinylpyrrolidone.

In the interior of the M icro capsules sensitive, chemically or physically incompatible and volatile components (= active ingredients) of the washing and cleaning agent according to the invention, in particular the photocatalytic material, storage and transport are stable included. In microcapsules, for example, optical brighteners, surfactants, complexing agents, bleaching agents, bleach activators, dyes and fragrances, antioxidants, builders, enzymes, enzyme stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, grayness inhibitors, anti redeposition agents, pH adjusters, electrolyte ^, foam inhibitors and UV- Absorber are located. For example, microcapsules may also contain cationic surfactants, vitamins, proteins, preservatives, detergency boosters or pearlescing agents. The fillings of the microcapsules may be solids or liquids in the form of solutions or emulsions or suspensions. Preference is given to microcapsules containing the photocatalytic material as a suspension.

The microcapsules are accessible by methods known in the art, with coacervation and interfacial polymerization being the most important. As microcapsules, all surfactant-stable microcapsules available on the market can be used, for example the commercial products (the shell material is indicated in parentheses) Hallcrest microcapsules (gelatin, gum arabic), Coletica thalaspheres (marine collagen), Lipotec millicapsules (alginic acid, agar-agar) , Also unispheres (lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); Unicerin C30 (lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), Kobo Glycospheres (modified starch, fatty acid esters, phospholipids), Softspheres (modified Agar Agar) and Kuhs Probiol Nanospheres (phospholipids).

Alternatively or in addition to the usable microcapsules and particles can be used which have no core-shell structure, but in which the active ingredient, in particular the photocatalytic material, distributed in a matrix of a matrix-forming material. Such particles are also referred to as "speckies".

A preferred matrix-forming material is alginate.

In addition, cellulases and other glycosyl hydrolases may contribute to color retention and to enhancing the softness of the fabric by removing pilling and microfibrils. Oxireductases can also be used for bleaching or inhibiting color transfer. Particularly suitable are bacterial strains or fungi such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Streptomyceus griseus and Humicola insolens derived enzymatic agents.

In order to bring the pH value of the detergents or cleaners according to the invention into the desired range, the use of pH adjusters may be indicated.

Another preferred component of the present invention is a hydrotrope. Preferred hydrotropes include the sulfonated hydrotropes, such as the alkylaryl sulfonates or alkylaryl sulfonic acids.

Preferred hydrotropes are selected from xylene, toluene, cumene, naphthalenesulfonate or sulfonic acid and mixtures thereof. Counterions are preferably selected from sodium, calcium and ammonium. Typically, the detergents or cleaners of the invention may comprise from 0.01% to 20% by weight of a hydrotrope, more preferably from 0.05% to 10%, and most preferably from 0.1% to 5% by weight.

Preferred dyes, the selection of which presents no difficulty to the skilled person, have a high storage stability and insensitivity to the other ingredients of the agents and to light and no pronounced substantivity to textile fibers so as not to stain them. Suitable foam inhibitors which can be used in the detergents or cleaners according to the invention are, for example, soaps, paraffins or silicone oils, which may optionally be applied to support materials. Suitable anti-redeposition agents, which are also referred to as "soil repellents", are, for example, nonionic cellulose ethers such as methylcellulose and methylhydroxypropylcellulose with a proportion of methoxy groups of 15 to 30% by weight and of hydroxypropyl groups of 1 to 15% by weight, based in each case on nonionic cellulose ethers and the polymers of phthalic acid and / or terephthalic acid known from the prior art or of derivatives thereof, in particular polymers of ethylene terephthalates and / or polyethylene glycol terephthalates or anionically and / or nonionically modified derivatives thereof, particularly preferred of these are the sulphonated derivatives the phthalic and terephthalic acid polymers.

Optical brighteners (so-called "whiteners") may be added to the detergents or cleaners of the present invention to eliminate graying and yellowing of the treated fabrics The fabrics soak onto the fiber and cause lightening and fake bleaching by causing invisible ultraviolet radiation convert visible light of longer wavelength, the absorbed from sunlight ultraviolet light is radiated as a pale blue fluorescence and the yellow shade of the grayed or yellowed laundry pure white. Suitable compounds originate for example from the substance classes of the ^{4,4-diamino-2,} 2 ^{stilbenedisulfonic} acids (flavonic), 4,4 ^'biphenylene -Distyryl-, Methylumbelliferone, coumarins, dihydroquinolinones, 1, 3-diaryl pyrazolines, naphthalimides, benzoxazole, benzisoxazole, and benzimidazole systems, and pyrene derivatives substituted by heterocycles. the optical brighteners can usually be used in amounts, for example, between 0.03 and 0.3 wt .-%, based on the finished composition.

Grayness inhibitors have the task of keeping the dirt detached from the fiber suspended in the liquor and thus preventing the dirt from being rebuilt. Water-soluble colloids of mostly organic nature are suitable for this purpose, for example glue, gelatine, salts of ether sulfonic acids or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch. Also, water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are suitable for this purpose. It is also possible to use soluble starch preparations and starch products other than those mentioned above, for example degraded starch, aldehyde starches, etc. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is also useful. However, preference is given to cellulose ethers such as carboxymethylcellulose (Na salt), methylcellulose, hydroxyalkylcellulose and mixed ethers such as methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, methylcarboxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof, for example in amounts of from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the compositions used. Since fabrics, particularly rayon, rayon, cotton and blends thereof, can tend to wrinkle because the individual fibers are susceptible to flexing, buckling, squeezing and squeezing across the grain, the compositions may contain synthetic crease inhibitors. These include, for example, synthetic products based on fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, alkylol esters, -alkylolamides or fatty alcohols, which are usually reacted with ethylene oxide, or products based on lecithin or modified phosphoric acid ester.

For further control of microorganisms, detergents or cleaners according to the invention may contain antimicrobial agents. Depending on the antimicrobial spectrum and mechanism of action, a distinction is made between bacteriostats and bactericides, fungistatics and fungicides, etc. Important substances from these groups are, for example, benzalkonium chlorides, alkylarylsulfonates, halophenols and phenolmercuric acetate, and the compounds according to the invention can be completely dispensed with.

In order to prevent undesirable changes to the detergents or cleaning agents according to the invention and / or the treated textile fabrics caused by oxygen action and other oxidative processes, the compositions may contain antioxidants. This class of compounds includes, for example, substituted phenols, hydroquinones, catechols and aromatic amines, as well as organic sulfides, polysulfides, dithiocarbamates, phosphites and phosphonates.

Increased comfort may result from the additional use of antistatic agents added to the compositions. Antistatic agents increase the surface conductivity and thus allow an improved drainage of formed charges. External antistatic agents are generally substances with at least one hydrophilic molecule ligand and give a more or less hygroscopic film on the surfaces. These mostly surface-active antistatic agents can be subdivided into nitrogen-containing (amines, amides, quaternary ammonium compounds), phosphorus-containing (phosphoric acid esters) and sulfur-containing (alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates) antistatic agents. External antistatic agents are, for example, lauryl (or stearyl) dimethylbenzylammonium chlorides, which are suitable as antistatic agents for textile fabrics or as an additive to laundry detergents, with an additional finishing effect being achieved.

To improve the water absorption capacity, the rewettability of the treated fabrics and to facilitate the Bügeins the treated fabrics can be used in the washing or cleaning agents according to the invention, for example, silicone derivatives be used. These additionally improve the rinsing behavior of the agents by their foam-inhibiting properties. Preferred silicone derivatives are, for example, polydialkyl or alkylaryl siloxanes in which the alkyl groups have one to five carbon atoms and are completely or partially fluorinated. Preferred silicones are polydimethylsiloxanes, which may optionally be derivatized and are then amino-functional or quaternized or have Si-OH, Si-H and / or Si-Cl bonds. The viscosities of the preferred silicones at 25 ⁰ C in the range between 100 and 100,000 mPas, wherein the silicones can be added in amounts between 0.2 and 5% by weight based on the total composition.

Finally, the detergents or cleaners according to the invention may optionally also contain UV absorbers which are absorbed by the treated textile fabrics and improve the light fastness of the fibers. Compounds having these desired properties include, for example, the non-radiative deactivating compounds and derivatives of benzophenone having substituents in the 2- and / or 4-position. Also suitable are substituted benzotriazoles, phenyl-substituted acrylates (cinnamic acid derivatives) in the 3-position, optionally with cyano groups in the 2-position, salicylates, organic Ni complexes and natural substances such as umbelliferone and the body's own urocanic acid.

In order to avoid the catalyzed by heavy metals decomposition of certain detergent ingredients, substances that complex heavy metals can be used. Suitable heavy metal complexing agents are, for example, the alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and alkali metal salts of anionic polyelectrolytes such as polymaleates and polysulfonates.

The amount of perfume used depends on the type of application.

As perfume oils (fragrances, fragrances), individual fragrance compounds, e.g. the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type are used. Preferably, however, mixtures of different fragrances are used, which together produce an attractive fragrance. Such perfume oils may also contain natural fragrance mixtures as are available from plant sources.

By the term perfume oil is meant preferably self-contained perfume compositions which are commonly used for product scenting and are fragrant in particular at the human discretion. This will be explained with an example. If an expert wants to To make a cleanser fragrant, he usually adds to it not only a (well) smelling substance but a collective (well) smelling substance. Such a collective usually consists of a plurality of individual fragrances, e.g. more than 10 or 15, preferably up to 100 or more. These fragrances cooperatively form a desired fragrant, harmonious odor image.

A usable perfume oil may contain individual fragrance compounds, for example the synthetic products of the ester type, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and hydrocarbons.

In order to be perceptible, a fragrance must be volatile, with molecular weight also playing an important role in addition to the nature of the functional groups and the structure of the chemical compound. For example, most odorants have molecular weights up to about 200 daltons, while molecular weights of 300 daltons and above are more of an exception. Due to the different volatility of fragrances, the smell of a fragrance composed of several fragrances changes during evaporation, whereby the odor impressions in "top note", "middle note or body" and "base note "(end note or dry out) divided.
