Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a gel-like, active ingredient-containing detergent or cleaning agent based on a low-molecular-weight gelling agent. Furthermore, the application relates to a process for producing this detergent or cleaning agent, as well as to washing processes for textiles or cleaning processes for hard surfaces using such a detergent or cleaning agent.

[0002] The packaging and distribution of detergents and cleaning agents are constantly evolving. For some time now, a key focus has been on convenient dosing of detergents and cleaning agents by the consumer and simplifying the steps required to carry out a washing or cleaning process. Pre-portioned detergents or cleaning agents offer a technical solution, for example, water-soluble containers with one or more compartments for solid or liquid detergents or cleaning agents. Due to their dissolving properties, liquid or gel-like detergents or cleaning agents are increasingly preferred over solid detergents or cleaning agents.

[0003] An alternative to filled water-soluble containers in the area of ​​pre-portioned detergents or cleaning agents is offered by detergent or cleaning agent tablets, and more recently by detergent or cleaning agent gel bodies, as described, for example, in the international patent application WO 2021 / 013412 A1.

[0004] A key factor for the manufacturability, confectionability, and dosability of detergent or cleaning agent gels or gel bodies is their stable viscosity and stable three-dimensional shape, which in turn are determined, among other things, by the gelling agents used. Although a wide variety of gelling agents are available, incorporating them into detergent or cleaning agent matrices and the subsequent reliable and stable formation of a gel network is challenging. This is particularly true given the ever-increasing demands on the sustainability of detergents and cleaning agents, which, for example, also reduce the number of active ingredients and excipients that can be used.

[0005] Against this background, the object of the present application was to provide a gel-like washing or cleaning agent which, in addition to good washing or cleaning performance, is characterized by high chemical and physical stability and easy production using sustainable substances.

[0052] With regard to the processability and the cleaning effect of the washing or cleaning agent formulation, it has proven advantageous to use non-ionic surfactant and anionic surfactant in the washing or cleaning agent formulation in a weight ratio of 3:1 to 1:2, preferably 2:1 to 2:3 and in particular 3:2 to 1:1.

[0053] A further group of preferred components of the washing or cleaning agent formulation are washing- or cleaning-active polymers, which the washing or cleaning agent formulation contains, based on its total weight, preferably in weight proportions of 2 to 15 wt.% and in particular of 4 to 12 wt.%.

[0054] The use of washing or cleaning-active polymers from the group of polyalkoxylated amines is particularly preferred.

[0055] Preferred detergent or cleaning agent formulations contain, based on their total weight, 0.5 to 10 wt.%, preferably 1 to 8 wt.%, and in particular 3 to 6 wt.% polyalkoxylated amine. Corresponding weight proportions have proven advantageous for storage stability, but especially for cleaning performance.

[0056] Preferred polyalkoxylated amines have a weight-average molecular weight M w in the range from 1300 g / mol to 6000 g / mol, in particular from 1400 g / mol to 4500 g / mol. (The average molecular weights stated here and later, where appropriate, for other polymers are weight-average molecular weights M w , which can generally be determined by gel permeation chromatography using an RI detector, with the measurement conveniently being carried out against an external standard.) For their preparation, one can start in a known manner from ammonia, a monoalkylamine, a monoalkyl-monoalkanolamine or a monoalkyl-dialkanolamine or a mono-, di- or trialkanolamine, for example triethanolamine, methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and isopropyldiethanolamine, methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and isopropyl-diisopropanolamine, tripropanolamine, triisopropanolamine, N,N-di-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclohexylamine, N,N-di-(2-hydroxypropyl)cyclohexylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, isopropylamine, sec-butylamine, tert-butylamine, cyclohexylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine, 2-phenylethylamine and mixtures thereof, which is reacted with an alkylene oxide, in particular selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, Butylene oxide and mixtures thereof, in particular with a mixture containing propylene oxide and preferably ethylene oxide, particularly preferably with propylene oxide.The polyalkoxylated amines obtainable in this way can be block or random structures. Particular preference is given, inter alia, to a polyalkoxylated amine obtainable by propoxylation of triethanolamine, preferably with a length of each of the three side arms of 15 propylene oxide units. Also preferred is a polyalkoxylated amine obtainable by propoxylation of triisopropanolamine, preferably with a length of each of the three side arms of 15 propylene oxide units. Also suitable are polyalkoxylated monoalkylamines having a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group, wherein the alkoxylation is carried out with an alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, and mixtures thereof, preferably with a mixture containing propylene oxide, particularly preferably with propylene oxide.Also preferred is a polyalkoxylated amine obtainable by propoxylation of tert-butylamine, preferably with a length of the two side arms of 12 propylene oxide units each.

[0057] Preferred polyalkoxylated amines satisfy the general formula (I), in which R represents a linear, optionally branched or optionally cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 12 C atoms or a group -(CH 2 CHR'O) n" -(CH 2 CHR"O) m" -H, R' and R" independently represent H, CH 3 or CH 2 CH 3, n, n' and n" independently represent numbers from 0 to 30, preferably from 0 to 10 and in particular from 0 to 5, and m, m' and m" independently represent numbers from 0 to 30, preferably from 5 to 20 and in particular from 12 to 16, with the proviso that the sum n + n' + n" + m + m' + m" is at least 14, preferably in the range from 18 to 100 and in particular in the range from 20 to 70. Preferably, in the compounds of formula I, at least one of the radicals R` and R" is a CH 3 group.

[0058] Furthermore, the use of washing or cleaning-active polymers from the group of polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimines is preferred.

[0059] Washing or cleaning agent formulations preferred due to their cleaning performance contain, based on their total weight, 0.5 to 5 wt.%, preferably 1 to 4 wt.% and in particular 2 to 3 wt.% of polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimine.

[0060] The polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimine is a polymer with a polyalkyleneimine backbone bearing polyalkoxy groups on the nitrogen atoms. It preferably has a weight-average molecular weight Mw in the range from 5000 g / mol to 60000 g / mol, in particular from 10000 g / mol to 22500 g / mol. The polyalkyleneimine has primary amino functions at the ends and preferably both secondary and tertiary amino functions in the interior; optionally, it can also have only secondary amino functions in the interior, resulting in a linear rather than a branched-chain polyalkyleneimine. The ratio of primary to secondary amino groups in the polyalkyleneimine is preferably in the range from 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, in particular in the range from 1:0.7 to 1:1. The ratio of primary to tertiary amino groups in the polyalkyleneimine is preferably in the range of 1:0.2 to 1:1, in particular in the range of 1:0.5 to 1:0.8.The polyalkyleneimine preferably has a weight-average molecular weight in the range from 500 g / mol to 50,000 g / mol, in particular from 550 g / mol to 2,000 g / mol. The nitrogen atoms in the polyalkyleneimine are preferably separated from one another by alkylene groups having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, in particular 2 to 6 carbon atoms, although not all alkylene groups need to have the same number of carbon atoms. Ethylene groups, 1,2-propylene groups, 1,3-propylene groups, and mixtures thereof are particularly preferred. The primary amino functions in the polyalkyleneimine can carry one or two polyalkoxy groups, and the secondary amino functions can carry one polyalkoxy group, although not every amino function needs to be substituted by an alkoxy group. The average number of alkoxy groups per primary and secondary amino function in the polyalkoxylated polyalkylenimine is preferably 5 to 100, in particular 10 to 50.The alkoxy groups in the polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimine are preferably ethoxy, propoxy, or butoxy groups, or mixtures thereof. Polyethoxylated polyethyleneimines are particularly preferred. The polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimines are obtainable by reacting the polyalkyleneimines with epoxides corresponding to the alkoxy groups. If desired, the terminal OH function of at least some of the polyalkoxy substituents can be replaced by an alkyl ether function having 1 to 10, in particular 1 to 3, carbon atoms.

[0061] In summary, washing or cleaning agent formulations are preferred which contain washing or cleaning-active polymer from the group i) the polyalkoxylated amines having a weight-average molecular weight M w in the range from 600 g / mol to 10,000 g / mol, which are obtainable by reacting ammonia or primary alkyl- or hydroxyalkylamines having a molecular weight below 200 g / mol with alkylene oxides; and / or ii) the polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimines, which are obtainable by reacting polyalkyleneimines with alkylene oxides contain.

[0062] Preferred washing or cleaning agent formulations contain, based on their total weight, 0.2 to 8 wt.%, preferably 0.5 to 6 wt.% enzyme preparation.

[0063] In addition to the actual enzyme protein, an enzyme preparation comprises other components such as enzyme stabilizers, carrier materials, or fillers. The enzyme protein typically constitutes only a fraction of the total weight of the enzyme preparation. Preferably used enzyme preparations contain between 0.1 and 40 wt.%, preferably between 0.2 and 30 wt.%, more preferably between 0.4 and 20 wt.%, and most preferably between 0.8 and 10 wt.% of the enzyme protein. In such compositions, an enzyme stabilizer can be present in an amount of 0.05 to 35 wt.%, preferably 0.05 to 10 wt.%, based on the total weight of the enzyme composition.

[0064] The protein concentration can be determined using known methods, for example, the BCA method (bicinchoninic acid; 2,2'-biquinolyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) or the biuret method. The active protein concentration is determined by titrating the active sites using a suitable irreversible inhibitor (for proteases, for example, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF)) and determining the residual activity (cf. M. Bender et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 88, 24 (1966), pp. 5890-5913).

[0065] For the manufacturability and subsequent dissolving power of the washing or cleaning agent formulation, it has proven advantageous if it contains, based on its total weight, 15 to 35% by weight, preferably 20 to 30% by weight of an aqueous-organic solvent.

[0066] Preferred organic solvents are selected from the group ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, butanols, glycol, propanediol, butanediol, methylpropanediol, glycerol, diglycol, propyl diglycol, butyl diglycol, hexylene glycol, ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol propyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol propyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, methoxytriglycol, ethoxytriglycol, butoxytriglycol, 1-butoxyethoxy-2-propanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, propylene glycol t-butyl ether, di-n-octyl ether and mixtures thereof, preferably from the group Propanediol, glycerin, monoethanolamine, and mixtures thereof. The proportion by weight of organic solvent in the total weight of the detergent or cleaning agent formulation is preferably 5 to 30% by weight, based on its total weight.-%, and in particular 10 to 25 wt.%.

[0067] In addition to organic solvents, the detergent or cleaning agent formulations may contain water as an additional liquid carrier. The water content of preferred detergent or cleaning agent formulations is 5 to 18 wt.%, preferably 7 to 15 wt.%, based on their total weight.

[0068] The washing or cleaning agent formulation contains phosphonate as a preferred optional ingredient. The weight fraction of the phosphonate in the total weight of the washing or cleaning agent formulation is preferably 0.1 to 3 wt.% and in particular 0.2 to 2 wt.%.

[0069] As a phosphonate compound, a phosphonate is preferably selected from the group of hydroxyalkane and / or aminoalkanephosphonates, preferably from the group of aminoalkanephosphonates and in particular from the group of ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonate (EDTMP) and diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonate (DTPMP), in particular from the group of diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonate (DTPMP).

[0070] As a further preferred optional component, the washing or cleaning agent formulation comprises, based on its total weight, 0.2 to 4% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3% by weight, of fragrance preparation.

[0071] In addition to the actual fragrances, the fragrance preparation includes, for example, solvents, solid carrier materials or stabilizers.

[0072] A fragrance is a chemical substance that stimulates the sense of smell. In order to stimulate the sense of smell, the chemical substance should be at least partially dispersible in the air, i.e. the fragrance should be at least slightly volatile at 25°C. If the fragrance is very volatile, the odor intensity quickly fades away. With lower volatility, however, the odor impression is more lasting, i.e. it does not disappear as quickly. In one embodiment, the fragrance therefore has a melting point in the range from -100°C to 100°C, preferably from -80°C to 80°C, even more preferably from -20°C to 50°C, in particular from -30°C to 20°C. In a further embodiment, the fragrance has a boiling point in the range from 25°C to 400°C, preferably from 50°C to 380°C, more preferably from 75°C to 350°C, in particular from 100°C to 330°C.

[0073] Overall, a chemical substance should not exceed a certain molecular mass to function as a fragrance, since at too high a molecular mass, the required volatility can no longer be guaranteed. In one embodiment, the fragrance has a molecular mass of 40 to 700 g / mol, more preferably 60 to 400 g / mol.

[0074] The smell of a fragrance is perceived as pleasant by most people and often corresponds to the smell of, for example, flowers, fruits, spices, bark, resin, leaves, grasses, mosses, and roots. Fragrances can also be used to mask unpleasant odors or to impart a desired scent to a non-odorous substance. Individual odorous compounds, such as synthetic products such as esters, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and hydrocarbons, can be used as fragrances.

[0075] Preferably, mixtures of different fragrances are used, which together create an appealing scent. Such a mixture of fragrances can also be referred to as a perfume or perfume oil. Such perfume oils can also contain natural fragrance mixtures, such as those obtainable from plant sources.

[0076] To prolong the fragrance effect, it has proven advantageous to encapsulate the fragrance. In one embodiment, at least part of the fragrance is used in encapsulated form (fragrance capsules), particularly in microcapsules. However, the entire fragrance can also be used in encapsulated form. The microcapsules can be water-soluble and / or water-insoluble microcapsules. For example, melamine-urea-formaldehyde microcapsules, melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules, urea-formaldehyde microcapsules, or starch microcapsules can be used. "Fragrance precursors" refer to compounds that only release the actual fragrance after chemical conversion / cleavage, typically through exposure to light or other environmental conditions, such as pH, temperature, etc. Such compounds are often also referred to as fragrance storage substances or "pro-fragrance."

[0077] Preferred forms of washing or cleaning products still contain dye.

[0079] The substance systems described above are not only suitable for ensuring easy production, good storage stability, and cleaning performance, but also enable the realization of a product appearance that is attractive to the consumer. For example, detergent or cleaning agent formulations that are transparent and therefore exhibit low turbidity are perceived as visually attractive. Preferred detergent or cleaning agent formulations therefore have a turbidity (HACH Turbidimeter 2100Q, 20°C, 10 ml cuvette) below 100 NTU, preferably below 50 NTU, and in particular below 20 NTU. At an NTU value (at 20°C) of 60 or more, molded articles exhibit perceptible turbidity within the meaning of the invention, visible to the naked eye.
