Description

[0001] Henkel AG & Co. KGaA 2022P00226WO Detergent or cleaning agent tablets The present invention relates to ready-to-use, single-dose detergent or cleaning agent tablets. Detergents or cleaning agents are offered to consumers in the form of solid or liquid products. The solid and liquid detergents or cleaning agents were originally packaged in the form of larger containers (for example, boxes, bags or bottles holding up to several kilograms or liters of the agent), from which the agent had to be dispensed in the amount required for use. These large containers have recently been at least partially replaced by pre-dosed packaging forms (“unit dose”). These dosage units are, for example, tablets or bags. The dosage units can be packaged in a water-insoluble or a water-soluble film.While a water-insoluble film must be removed by the consumer before use of the dosing unit, a film that dissolves upon introduction into the aqueous washing or cleaning solution can remain attached to the dosing unit. The latter has the advantage of facilitated dosing accuracy with flowable dosing units. Therefore, in addition to tabletting powdered premixes into tablets, the packaging of liquids or powders in water-soluble sachets is becoming increasingly important. These products are generally characterized by a shorter dissolution time compared to tablets. Short dissolution times of the dosing units, in turn, have a beneficial effect on the washing or cleaning result because the washing or cleaning effect of the dosing unit then takes effect more quickly and can develop accordingly longer while the washing or cleaning process lasts the same length.However, with increasing viscosity, liquid formulations normally lose the advantages based on rapid dissolution because higher viscosity is generally associated with a slower dissolution rate. On the other hand, the higher the viscosity of the liquid, the greater the dimensional stability of the resulting dosage unit. High-viscosity gels can be molded into a shape that determines the shape of the dosage unit formed from them and the film enveloping them, such as a film-coated tablet. In contrast, low-viscosity liquids assume the shape that essentially results from the surrounding film bag. As with tablets, which are usually produced by compressing powdered ingredients, film coating can be dispensed with for shaped bodies formed from high-viscosity gels without the absence of the coating alone leading to a significant change in shape.For example, international patent application WO 2018 / 229036 A1 discloses viscoelastic solid surfactant compositions containing benzylidene alditol compounds as thickeners. Against this technical background, the present invention set itself the task of providing a single-dose, ready-to-use, solid detergent or cleaning agent with even better dissolution properties. This object is achieved by a surfactant- and water-containing molded article containing at least one gelling agent of the general formula (I) I. in which each m is independently a number in the range from 2 to 15, in particular from 2.5 to 13.5 and each n is independently a number in the range from 0 to 5, in particular from 3.5 to 4.5, and at least one further gelling agent selected from the compounds of the general formulas (II) and (III) and mixtures thereof, in which * stands for a covalent single bond between an oxygen atom of the hexanehexol backbone and the intended radical, R 1 , R 2 and R 3independently of one another represent hydrogen, halogen, C1-C4-alkyl, -CN, -NO2, -NH2, -CO2H, -OH, -C(=O)-NH-NH2, -NH-C(=O)-(C2-C4-alkyl), C1-C4-alkoxy, C1-C4-alkoxy-C2-C4-alkyl and mixtures thereof, and p represents a number from 1 to 3, in particular 1 or 2 and particularly preferably 2. Non-integer values ​​for m and n in the compounds of the general formula (I) occur when mixtures of alcohols of different chain lengths (m) are reacted with ethylene oxide and, as is customary in industry, individual compounds with different levels of ethoxylation are not separated (n) before being converted to the urethanes of the general formula (I). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, m in the compound of general formula (I) is in the range from 3 to 5 and n is in the range from 3.5 to 4. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, m in the compound of general formula (I) is in the range from 9,5 to 11 and n is 0. Gel formers of the general formula (I) are commercially available under the trade name Rheobyk®. The hexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol unit in the compounds of the formula (II) is accessible from hexoses by reduction of the carbonyl function. Depending on the type of hexose, the chiral centers can be R- or S-configured; for reasons of better availability of the starting hexoses, the hexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexols accessible from D-hexoses are preferred. By reaction with 1, 2 or 3 equivalents of optionally substituted benzaldehyde, the compounds of the formula (II) are obtained, with the di-O-benzylidene compounds being preferred. The compound of the formula (II) is in particular selected from 1,3:2,4-di-O-benzylidene-D-sorbitol; 1,3:2,4-Di-O-(p-methylbenzylidene)-D-sorbitol; 1,3:2,4-Di-O-(p-chlorobenzylidene)-D-sorbitol; 1,3:2,4-Di-O-(2,4-dimethylbenzylidene)-D-sorbitol; 1,3:2,4-Di-O-(p-ethylbenzylidene)-D-sorbitol; 1,3:2,4-Di-O-(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene)-D-sorbitol or mixtures thereof. 1,3:2,4-di-O-benzylidene-D-sorbitol is particularly preferred. The proportion of the gelling agent of the general formula (I) in the total shaped body is preferably in the range from 0.1 wt.% to 10 wt.%, in particular from 0.5 wt.% to 5 wt.% and particularly preferably from 1 to 4 wt.%. The proportion of the gelling agent of the general formula (II) and / or the general formula (III) in the total shaped body is preferably in the range from 0.1 wt.% to 5 wt.%, in particular from 0.5 wt.% to 3 wt.% and particularly preferably from 1 to 2.5 wt.%. Preferably, the weight ratio of gelling agent of general formula (I) to the total amount of gelling agents of general formulas (II) and (III) is in the range from 2:1 to 1:2, in particular from 1.5:1 to 1:1.5. The simultaneous use of the various gelling agents mentioned above renders the shaped bodies dimensionally stable. "Dimensional stability," as used herein,refers to the property of the shaped bodies to retain their three-dimensional shape under the conditions customary for storage and transport, i.e., to neither disintegrate nor undergo irreversible deformation in the temperature ranges customary for storage and transport and under the influence of the forces customary for storage and transport. The dimensional stability brought about by the gelling agent combination essential to the invention and, in particular, the good solubility of the shaped bodies according to the invention is impaired if alkali salts of short-chain alkylcarboxylic acids, such as, for example, acetic acid, are incorporated therein. Such salts are therefore preferably only present in shaped bodies according to the invention in amounts below 1% by weight, and in particular not present at all. The shaped body according to the invention may contain, in addition to water, an organic solvent. This is preferably selected from the group comprising ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, butanols, glycol, propanediol, butanediol,Methylpropandiol, Glycerin, Proplyencarbonat, Diglykol, Propyldiglycol, Butyldiglykol, Hexylenglycol, Diethylenglykolethylether, Diethylenglykolmethylether, Diethylenglykol-n- butylether, Diethylenglykolhexylether, Diethylenglykol-n-butyletheracetat, Ethylenglykolpropylether, Ethylenglykol-n-butylether, Ethylenglykolhexylether, Ethylenglykol-n-butyletheracetat, Triethylenglycol, Triethylenglykolmethylether, Triethylenglykolethylether, Triethylenglykol-n-butylether, Ethylengly- kolphenylether, Propylenglykolmethylether, Dipropylenglykolmethylether, Tripropylenglycolmethylether, Propylenglycolmethyletheracetat, Dipropylenglykol-methyletheracetat, propylenglykol-n-propylether, Dipropylenglykol-n-propylether, Propylenglycol-n-butylether, Dipropylenglycol-n-butylether, Tripropy- lenglykol-n-butylether, Propylenglykolphenylether, Propylenglykoldiacetat, Dipropylenglykoldimethyl- ether, Methoxytriglykol, Ethoxytriglykol, Butoxytriglykol, Glycerincarbonat, Propylencarbonat,1-Butoxyethoxy-2-propanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, propylene glycol t-butyl ether, di-n-octyl ether, and mixtures thereof; in particular from the group consisting of glycerol, propylene glycol, ethanol, isopropanol, methylpropanoldiol, triethylene glycol, propylene carbonate, glycerol carbonate, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, and 2-methylpropane-1,3-diol, and mixtures thereof.

Particularly preferred representatives are fatty alcohols with 10 to 18 carbon atoms and with 7 EO (k = 11 to 17, m = 7). Such fatty alcohol ethoxylates are available, for example, under the trade names Dehydol ®LT7 (BASF), Lutensol ® AO7 (BASF), Lutensol ® M7 (BASF) und Neodol ®45-7 (Shell Chemicals).

Such (PO / EO / PO) nonionic surfactants are also characterized by good foam control. Furthermore, the shaped body according to the invention can contain amine oxide as a nonionic surfactant. In principle, all amine oxides established in the prior art for these purposes, i.e. compounds having the formula R. 1 R 2 R 3 NO, wherein each R 1 , R 2 and R 3 independently of the others, is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon chain having 1 to 30 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred amine oxides are those in which R 1 Alkyl with 12 to 18 carbon atoms and R 2 and R 3are each independently alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in particular alkyldimethylamine oxides having 12 to 18 carbon atoms.

In preferred embodiments of the invention, the shaped body contains at least one bittering agent in an amount of 0.0001 wt.% to 0.1 wt.%, in particular 0.0005 wt.% to 0.02 wt. According to the present invention, bittering agents which are at least 5 g / l soluble in water at 20°C are particularly preferred. With regard to undesirable interactions with the fragrance components optionally contained in the composition, in particular a change in the fragrance perceived by the consumer, ionogenic bittering agents have proven superior to non-ionogenic ones.Ionic bittering agents containing organic cations and organic anions are preferred for the composition according to the invention. Particularly suitable in the context of the present invention are quaternary ammonium compounds containing an aromatic group in both the cation and the anion. In various embodiments, the at least one bittering agent is therefore such a quaternary ammonium compound. A suitable quaternary ammonium compound is, for example, benzyldiethyl((2,6-xylylcarbamoyl)methyl)ammonium benzoate, which is also known as denatonium benzoate and is commercially available, for example, under the trademarks Bitrex® and Indigestin®. If Bitrex® is used, amounts of up to 0.002% by weight are most preferred.In one embodiment of the invention, the shaped bodies are translucent and / or transparent; this means that they have a residual light output (transmission) of at least 20% relative to the reference measurement in the spectral range between 380 nm and 780 nm. For transparency measurements, it is important to note that the shaped body must form in the measuring cuvette inserted into the photometer (which typically ensures a path length of 10 mm in the direction of the light passing through) in order to obtain reliable measurement results. For this purpose, the sample is introduced in liquid form, for example at 80°C, during sample preparation, solidified by cooling to the measurement temperature in the cuvette, and then measured.It is preferred if the agent according to the invention has a transmission (at 20°C) of at least 25%, more preferably at least 30%, more preferably at least 40%, in particular of at least 50%, particularly preferably of at least 60%. The shaped body according to the invention can be produced by first forming a liquid composition by heating a mixture containing at least the gelling agents essential to the invention and water to a temperature above the sol-gel transition temperature of the mixture, then optionally, if not already present in the mixture at the beginning, the remaining ingredients of the shaped body are mixed in individually or in separately prepared mixtures, without the temperature falling below the sol-gel transition temperature, and then the heated liquid composition, which contains all the ingredients of the shaped body, is poured into a mold and cooled there below the sol-gel transition temperature.Normally, heating to a maximum temperature of 80°C to 90°C is entirely sufficient. The liquid composition is brought below the sol-gel transition temperature of the liquid composition in the mold for curing. It is preferred if the liquid composition is cooled to no less than 20°C, in particular no less than 25°C, and most preferably no less than 30°C, to form the molded article. Virtually any desired shape can be formed, such as a sphere, ellipsoid, hemisphere, torus, cube, cuboid, cone, pyramid, cylinder, tube, round disc, tub, bowl, prism, octahedron, tetrahedron, dog, cat, mouse, horse, torso, bust, pillow, automobile, oval disc with an embossed trademark, and many others. The weight of an individual shaped body is preferably in the range from 1 g to 50 g, in particular from 2 g to 30 g, particularly preferably from 5 g to 20 g, for example 15 to 17 g.The shaped body according to the invention obtainable as described preferably has a storage modulus G' in the range of 3.5. . 10 4 Pascal to 1 . 10 8 Pascal, measured with a shear rheometer using a plate-to-plate measuring system with a plate spacing of 100 µm at a constant frequency of 1 Hz and a temperature of 20°C.
