The invention describes a textile treatment agent containing a surfactant that is in a two-chambered bag container, wherein one of the chambers contains an enzyme mixture and the other chamber contains a bleaching agent and optical brighteners. This textile treatment agent produces outstanding cleaning results during use, even for textiles with heavy and stubborn stains. It is very suitable as a soaking agent.

Description

Textile treatment agents

The present invention relates to a surfactant-containing textile treatment agent in the form of a bag bundle with two separate chambers, wherein chamber I comprises an enzyme mixture containing protease and amylase, and chamber II comprises a mixture containing bleach and optical brightener. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for the treatment of textiles with the textile treatment agent and its use.

The primary goal in textile washing is, in addition to the washing care and scenting, the removal of dirt. The consumer's claim to the washing result is now very high, whereby he is additionally interested in reduced energy consumption and water consumption and limited time. However, the consumer still expects a very high washing quality. In view of the ever-decreasing wash temperatures, shortened washes and particularly gentle mechanics of the washing machines, optimal removal of laundry dirt, in particular in the case of heavily soiled laundry with high soil adhesion, for example as a result of drying or aging of the soils, represents an unaltered challenge.

Against this background, the object of the present invention was to provide a means which ensures optimal removal of laundry dirt, in particular in the case of heavily soiled laundry with high dirt adhesion.

This object is achieved by a surfactant-containing textile treatment agent in the form of a bag bundle with two separate chambers, wherein chamber I comprises an enzyme mixture containing protease and amylase, and chamber II comprises a mixture containing bleach and optical brightener.

The bag container according to the invention consists of two separate chambers, which ensure that the contents of one chamber can not come into contact with the contents of the other chamber. The two chambers can be connected together in such a way, for example by means of a perforation or the like, that you can easily separate them from each other, without damaging the chamber walls, so that both chambers continue to enclose their contents after separation and safely can be handled separately from each other. Of course, the two chambers can also be connected to one another in a way, for example by no perforation or the like is provided, that you can not easily separate them from each other, but to a tool, such as a pair of scissors would use. In a preferred embodiment, the two chambers of the bag package are not separated during use. Suitable materials for the bag package, preferably film materials, may be water-insoluble in a preferred embodiment. Suitable water-insoluble film material may preferably comprise one or more water-insoluble polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyolefins such as polypropylene, polyethylene. If the bag package is made of water-insoluble material, it is advantageously in the form of tear-open bags, so that the consumer can easily open the bag container or the two chambers in order to be able to subsequently use the contents of the chambers.

Also suitable for the bag package materials are water-soluble or water-dispersible films, in particular comprising (acetalated) polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinylpyrrolidones, polyethylene oxides, (modified) cellulose or gelatin. These substances will be described in more detail below. If the bag package is made of water-soluble (film) material, the consumer can use the bag container without first manually opening the chambers, since the contents of the chambers can be released by the action of water. Of course, but also such a bag package in the form of Aufreißbeuteln be present so that the consumer can easily open the bag or the two containers, if he wants it, although it is not necessary.

"Polyvinyl alcohols" (abbreviated PVAL, occasionally PVOH) is the name for polymers of the general structure

[-CH ₂ -CH (OH) -] _n

in small proportions also structural units of the type

[-CH ₂ -CH (OH) -CH (OH) -CH ₂ ]

contain.

Commercially available polyvinyl alcohols which are used as white-yellowish powders or granules with degrees of polymerization in the range of about 100 to 2500 (molar masses of about 4000 to

100,000 g / mol) have degrees of hydrolysis of 98-99 or 87-89

%, so still contain a residual content of acetyl groups. Characterized are the

Polyvinyl alcohols from the manufacturer by indicating the degree of polymerization of the

Starting polymer, the degree of hydrolysis, the saponification number or the solution viscosity. Depending on the degree of hydrolysis, polyvinyl alcohols are soluble in water and a few highly polar organic solvents (formamide, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide); They are not attacked by (chlorinated) hydrocarbons, esters, fats and oils. Polyvinyl alcohols are classified as toxicologically safe and are biologically at least partially degradable. The water solubility can be reduced by aftertreatment with aldehydes (acetalization), by complexation with Ni or Cu salts or by treatment with dichromates, boric acid or borax. The coatings of polyvinyl alcohol are largely impermeable to gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, but allow water vapor to pass through.

In the context of the present invention, packaging or wrapping materials for the bag package may be preferred, which at least partially comprise a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis advantageously 70 to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and especially 82 to 88 mol%. In a preferred embodiment, the film material used comprises at least 20% by weight, more preferably at least 40% by weight, very preferably at least 60% by weight and in particular at least 80% by weight, of a polyvinyl alcohol whose Hydrolysis degree 70 to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and in particular 82 to 88 mol%. Preferably, the entire film material used is at least 20 wt .-%, more preferably at least 40 wt .-%, most preferably at least 60 wt .-% and in particular at least 80 wt .-% of a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis 70th to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and in particular 82 to 88 mol%.

Polyvinyl alcohols of a certain molecular weight range may preferably be used as film materials, it being preferred according to the invention that the film material comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose molecular weight is in the range of 10,000 to 100,000 gmol ^-1 , preferably 11,000 to 90,000 gmol ^-1 , particularly preferably 12,000 to 80,000 gmol ^'1 and in particular from 13,000 to 70,000 gmol ^{' 1} .

The polyvinyl alcohols described above are widely available commercially, for example under the trade name Mowiol ^® (Clariant). Particularly suitable in the context of the present invention, polyvinyl alcohols are, for example, Mowiol ^® 3-83, Mowiol ^® 4-88, Mowiol ^® 5-88, Mowiol ^® 8-88 and L648, L734, Mowiflex LPTC KSE 221 as well as the ex Compounds of Texas polymer such as Vinex 2034.

Further polyvinyl alcohols which can be used as film material are shown in the following table:

Other suitable as a material for the water-soluble or water-dispersible films are polyvinyl alcohols ^® ELVANOL 51-05, 52-22, 50-42, 85-82, 75-15, T-25, T-66, 90-50 (trademark of the Du Pont ) ^® ALCOTEX 72.5, 78, B72, F80 / 40, F88 / 4, F88 / 26, F88 / 40, F88 / 47 (trademark of Harlow Chemical Co.), ^® Gonozoϊde NK-05, A-300, AH 22, C-500, GH-20, GL-03, GM-14L, KA-20, KA-500, KH-20, KP-06, N-300, NH-26, NM11Q, KZ-06 (Trademark of Nippon Gohsei KK). Also suitable are ERKOL types from Wacker.

The water content of preferred PVAL packaging materials is preferably less than 10 wt .-%, preferably less than 8 wt .-%, more preferably less than 6 wt .-% and in particular less than 4 wt .-%.

The water solubility of PVAL can be altered by post-treatment with aldehydes (acetalization) or ketones (ketalization). As particularly preferred and particularly advantageous due to their pronounced cold water solubility, polyvinyl alcohols have proven to be acetalized or ketalized with the aldehyde or keto groups of saccharides or polysaccharides or mixtures thereof. To use extremely advantageous are the reaction products of PVAL and starch.

Furthermore, the water solubility can be changed by complexing with Ni or Cu salts or by treatment with dichromates, boric acid, borax and thus set specifically to desired values. Films made of PVAL are largely impermeable to gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, but allow water vapor to pass through. Examples of suitable water PVAL films are available under the name "SOLUBLON ^®" from Syntana Handelsgesellschaft E. Harke GmbH & Co. PVAL films. Their solubility in water can be adjusted to the exact degree, and films of this product series are available which are soluble in aqueous phase in all temperature ranges relevant for the application. Other preferred sheet materials may be characterized by comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) having a degree of substitution (average number of methoxy groups per unit of anhydroglucose cellulose) of from 1.0 to 2.0, preferably from 1.4 to 1.9, and a molar substitution (average number of hydroxypropoxyl groups per anhydroglucose unit of the cellulose) of from 0.1 to 0.3, preferably from 0.15 to 0.25.

Other preferred film materials may be characterized by comprising polyvinyl pyrrolidones. Polyvinylpyrrolidones, referred to as PVP for short, can be described by the following general formula:

PVP are prepared by radical polymerization of 1-vinylpyrrolidone. Commercially available PVP have molecular weights in the range of about 2,500 to 750,000 g / mol and are available as white, hygroscopic powders or as aqueous solutions.

Other preferred film materials may be characterized by comprising polyethylene oxides. Polyethylene oxides, PEOX for short, are polyalkylene glycols of the general formula

H - [O-CH ₂ -CH ₂ I _n -OH

the technically by alkaline-catalyzed polyaddition of ethylene oxide (oxirane) in mostly small amounts of water-containing systems are prepared with ethylene glycol as the starting molecule. They have molar masses in the range of about 200 to 5,000,000 g / mol, corresponding to degrees of polymerization n of about 5 to> 100,000. Polyethylene oxides have an extremely low concentration of reactive hydroxy end groups and show only weak glycol properties.

Other preferred sheet materials may be characterized as comprising gelatin. Gelatin is a polypeptide (molecular weight: about 15,000 to> 250,000 g / mol), which is obtained primarily by hydrolysis of the collagen contained in the skin and bones of animals under acidic or alkaline conditions. The amino acid composition of gelatin is broadly similar to that of the collagen from which it was obtained and varies depending on its provenance. The use of gelatin as a water-soluble film material is especially in pharmacy in the form of hard or soft gelatin capsules extremely widespread.

In the context of the present invention, preference is furthermore given to film materials which comprise a polymer from the group starch and starch derivatives, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, in particular methyl cellulose, and mixtures thereof.

Starch is a homoglycan, wherein the glucose units are linked α-glycosidically. Starch is composed of two components of different molecular weight: from about 20 to 30% straight-chain amylose (MW 50,000 to 150,000) and 70 to 80% branched-chain amylopectin (MW about 300,000 to 2,000,000). In addition, small amounts of lipids, phosphoric acid and cations are still included. Whereas the amylose forms long, helical, entangled chains with about 300 to 1,200 glucose molecules as a result of the 1,4-position bond, the amylopectin branch branches off into a branch-like structure after an average of 25 glucose building blocks by 1,6-binding with about 1,500 to 12,000 molecules of glucose. In addition to pure starch, starch derivatives which are obtainable from starch by polymer-analogous reactions are also suitable for the preparation of water-soluble coatings in the context of the present invention. Such chemically modified starches include, for example, products of esterifications or etherifications in which hydroxy hydrogen atoms have been substituted. However, starches in which the hydroxy groups have been replaced by functional groups that are not bonded via an oxygen atom can also be used as starch derivatives. The group of starch derivatives includes, for example, alkali starches, carboxymethyl starch (CMS), starch esters and ethers, and amino starches.

Pure cellulose has the formal gross composition (C ₆ H ₁₀ Os) _n and is formally a β-1,4-polyacetal of cellobiose, which in turn is composed of two molecules of glucose. Suitable celluloses consist of about 500 to 5,000 glucose units and therefore have average molecular weights of 50,000 to 500,000. Celluloses in which the hydroxy groups have been replaced by functional groups which are not bonded via an oxygen atom can also be used as cellulose derivatives. The group of cellulose derivatives includes, for example, alkali metal celluloses, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), cellulose esters and ethers, and aminocelluloses.

Accordingly, a textile treatment agent according to the invention according to a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bag container consists of water-soluble or water-dispersible film material.

The two compartments of the sachet may be identical to one another in terms of their volume, shape and spatial orientation, for example in relation to theirs spatial arrangement, different from each other. It is also possible that the chambers differ in size and / or in shape from each other.

It has surprisingly been found that the textile treatment agent according to the invention allows improved performance in the removal of contaminants compared to corresponding powder products, which are conventionally formulated, especially with regard to dried, aged Wäscheschmutz with protein and starch or carbohydrate components, for Example of residues of cocoa, egg yolks, gravies, blood and the like, as well as with a view to colored soils, which contain, for example, anthocyanin, betanidine, carotenoids, Curcuma, tannins, humic acids, chlorophyll or technical dyes, for example from cosmetics.

The solidification can be done both before the filling of the chambers and after the filling of the chambers. In other words, the term "solid" in the context of the present application also encompasses those substances or substance mixtures which solidify only after they have been filled into one of the chambers In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the filled-in agent is a solidifying liquid , preferably a solidifying melt.

When the weight ratio of protease to amylase is in the range of 10: 1 to 1:10, preferably 5: 1 to 1: 5, especially 2: 1 to 1: 2 in chamber I of the textile treatment agent, it is a preferred embodiment the invention.

Suitable commercial products Denilite® ^® 1 and 2 from Novozymes should be mentioned. Advantageously, it is additionally preferred to add organic, particularly preferably aromatic, compounds which interact with the enzymes in order to enhance the activity of the relevant oxidoreductases (enhancers) or to ensure the flow of electrons (mediators) at greatly varying redox potentials between the oxidizing enzymes and the soils.

The enzymes originate, for example, either originally from microorganisms, such as the genera Bacillus, Streptomyces, Humicola, or Pseudomonas, and / or are produced by biotechnological methods known per se by suitable microorganisms, such as transgenic expression hosts of the genera Bacillus or filamentous fungi.

The purification of the relevant enzymes is preferably carried out by conventional methods, for example by precipitation, sedimentation, concentration, filtration of the liquid phases, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, exposure to chemicals, deodorization or suitable combinations of these steps.

The enzymes can be used in any form known in the art. These include, for example, the solid preparations obtained by granulation, extrusion or lyophilization or, especially in the case of liquid or gel-form detergents, solutions of the enzymes, advantageously as concentrated as possible, sparing in water and / or added with stabilizers.

Alternatively, the enzymes may be encapsulated, for example, by spray-drying or extruding the enzyme solution together with a preferably natural polymer or in the form of capsules, for example those in which the enzymes are entrapped as in a solidified gel or in core-shell type in which an enzyme-containing core is coated with a water, air and / or chemical impermeable protective layer. In deposited layers, further active ingredients, for example stabilizers, emulsifiers, pigments, bleaches or dyes, may additionally be applied. Such capsules are prepared by methods known per se, for example by shaking or rolling granulation or in fluid-bed processes. Advantageously, such granules, for example by applying polymeric film-forming agent, low in dust and storage stable due to the coating.

Furthermore, it is possible to assemble two or more enzymes together so that a single granule has multiple enzyme activities. According to a preferred embodiment, the chamber II contains no enzymes.

A protein and / or enzyme may be particularly protected during storage against damage such as inactivation, denaturation or degradation, such as by physical influences, oxidation or proteolytic cleavage. In microbial recovery of proteins and / or enzymes, inhibition of proteolysis is particularly preferred. invention Agents may contain stabilizers for this purpose; the provision of such means constitutes a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

One group of stabilizers are reversible protease inhibitors. Frequently, benzamidine hydrochloride, borax, boric acids, boronic acids or their salts or esters are used, including, in particular, derivatives with aromatic groups, for example ortho-substituted, meta-substituted and para-substituted phenylboronic acids, or their salts or esters. As peptidic protease inhibitors are, inter alia, ovomucoid and leupeptin to mention; An additional option is the formation of fusion proteins from proteases and peptide inhibitors.

Other enzyme stabilizers are amino alcohols such as mono-, di-, triethanol- and -propanolamine and mixtures thereof, aliphatic carboxylic acids up to C ₁₂ , such as succinic acid, other dicarboxylic acids or salts of said acids. End-capped fatty acid amide alkoxylates are also suitable. Certain organic acids used as builders are additionally capable of stabilizing a contained enzyme.

Lower aliphatic alcohols, but especially polyols such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or sorbitol are other frequently used enzyme stabilizers. Also used are calcium salts, such as calcium acetate or calcium formate, and magnesium salts.

Polyamide oligomers or polymeric compounds such as lignin, water-soluble vinyl copolymers or cellulose ethers, acrylic polymers and / or polyamides stabilize the enzyme preparation, inter alia, against physical influences or pH fluctuations. Polyamine N-oxide containing polymers act as enzyme stabilizers. Other polymeric stabilizers are the linear C ₈ -C ₁₈ polyoxyalkylenes. Alkylpolyglycosides can stabilize the enzymatic components of the agent according to the invention and even increase their performance. Crosslinked N-containing compounds also act as enzyme stabilizers.

Reducing agents and antioxidants increase the stability of the enzymes to oxidative degradation. A sulfur-containing reducing agent is, for example, sodium sulfite.

Preferably, combinatons of stabilizers are used, for example of polyols, boric acid and / or borax, the combination of boric acid or borate, reducing salts and succinic acid or other dicarboxylic acids or the combination of boric acid or borate with polyols or polyamino compounds and with reducing salts. The effect of peptide-aldehyde stabilizers is enhanced by the combination with boric acid and / or boric acid derivatives and polyols and further enhanced by the additional use of divalent cations, such as calcium ions.

According to the invention, the textile treatment agent in the chamber II contains bleach. Among the compounds which serve as bleaches and deliver H ₂ O ₂ in water, the sodium percarbonate is particularly preferred according to the invention. Further useful bleaching agents are, for example, the sodium perborate tetrahydrate and the sodium perborate monohydrate, peroxypyrophosphates, citrate perhydrates and H ₂ O ₂ -producing peracidic salts or peracids, such as perbenzoates, peroxophthalates, diperazelaic acid, phthaloimino peracid or diperdodecane diacid. Bleaching agents from the group of organic bleaching agents can also be used according to the invention. Typical organic bleaches are the diacyl peroxides, such as dibenzoyl peroxide. Other typical organic bleaches are the peroxyacids, examples of which include the alkyl peroxyacids and the aryl peroxyacids. Preferred representatives are (a) the peroxybenzoic acid and its ring-substituted derivatives, such as alkylperoxybenzoic acids, but also peroxy-α-naphthoic acid and magnesium monoperphthalate, (b) the aliphatic or substituted aliphatic peroxyacids, such as peroxylauric acid, peroxystearic acid, ε-phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid [phthaloiminoperoxyhexanoic acid (PAP)], o-carboxybenzamidoperoxycaproic acid, N-nonenylamidoperadipic acid and N-nonenylamidopersuccinate, and (c) aliphatic and araliphatic peroxydicarboxylic acids, such as 1,12-diperoxycarboxylic acid, 1,9-diperoxyazelaic acid, diperocysebacic acid,

Diperoxybrassylic acid, the diperoxyphthalic acids, 2-decyldiperoxybutane-1,4-diacid, N ₁ N-terephthaloyl-di (6-aminopercapronate) can be used.

Chlorine or bromine releasing substances can also be used as the bleaching agent, but this is less preferred. Among the suitable chlorine or bromine releasing materials are, for example, heterocyclic N-bromo- and N-chloroamides, for example trichloroisocyanuric acid, tribromoisocyanuric acid, dibromoisocyanuric acid and / or dichloroisocyanuric acid (DICA) and / or their salts with cations such as potassium and sodium into consideration.

It has been found that particularly mentioned weight ratios are particularly advantageous for achieving an optimal cleaning result. According to a preferred embodiment, the chamber I contains no optical brightener.

According to the invention, the textile treatment agent is surfactant-containing, which means that it comprises at least 0.1 wt .-% of surfactant based on the total mass of the composition.

According to a preferred embodiment, the textile treatment agent according to the invention in chamber I contains nonionic surfactant, preferably fatty alcohol alkoxylate, in particular fatty alcohol ethoxylate. Particularly advantageous are nonionic surfactant amounts of 10 -50 wt .-%, in particular 15-30 wt .-%, based on the total mass contained in the chamber I.

The nonionic surfactants 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 is linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position may contain linear or methyl-branched radicals in the mixture, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten. In particular, however, preferred are alcohol ethoxylates having linear radicals of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, for example, coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and preferably an average of 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol. The preferred ethoxylated alcohols include, for example, C ₁₂ -i ₄ -alcohols with 3 EO or 4 EO, C _9-11 -alcohol with 7 EO, C ₁₃ . _15- alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, C ₁₂ . ₁₈ alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO or 7 EO and mixtures thereof, such as mixtures of C _{_12-14} alcohol with 3 EO and C _12-1S -alcohol with 5 EO. The degrees of ethoxylation given represent statistical means which, for a particular product, may be an integer or a fractional number. Preferred alcohol ethoxylates have a narrow homolog distribution (narrow rank ethoxylates, NRE). In addition to these nonionic surfactants, but also independently, 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.

According to a preferred embodiment, only the chamber I contains surfactant, preferably nonionic surfactant. But it is also possible, although less preferred, that the chamber II contains surfactant. It is also possible, although less preferred, that only the chamber II contains surfactant.

According to a preferred embodiment, the textile treatment agent according to the invention comprises in wash chamber I, preferably comprising sodium carbonate, advantageously in amounts of 5-40 wt .-%, in particular from 20-35 wt .-%, based on the total mass contained in the chamber I.

The group of wash alkalis also includes sodium silicate, which can also be used, advantageously in combination with sodium carbonate.

In the context of the present application, the builders include, in addition to the preferably usable phosphates, in particular also the zeolites, silicates and the organic cobuilders.

Suitable crystalline, layered sodium silicates have the general formula NaMSi _x O _{2x + I} H ₂ O, where M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1, 9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 and preferred values for x 2 , 3 or 4 are. Preferred crystalline layered silicates of the formula given are those in which M is sodium and x assumes the values 2 or 3. In particular, both β- and δ-sodium disilicates Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ yH ₂ O are preferred. It is also possible to use amorphous sodium silicates with a Na ₂ O: SiO ₂ modulus of from 1: 2 to 1: 3.3, preferably from 1: 2 to 1: 2.8 and in particular from 1: 2 to 1: 2.6, which Delayed and have secondary washing properties. The dissolution delay compared to conventional amorphous sodium silicates may have been caused in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding, compaction / densification or by overdrying. In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" is also understood to mean "X-ray amorphous". This means that the silicates do not yield sharp X-ray reflections typical of crystalline substances in X-ray diffraction experiments, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-rays having a width of several degrees of diffraction angle. However, it may well even lead to particularly good builder properties if the silicate particles provide blurred or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction experiments. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions of size 10 to a few hundred nm, values of up to max. 50 nm and in particular up to max. 20 nm are preferred. Such so-called X-ray amorphous silicates also have a dissolution delay compared with the conventional water glasses. Particularly preferred are compacted / compacted amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and overdried X-ray amorphous silicates.

In the context of the present invention, it may be preferred that these silicates, preferably alkali metal silicates, particularly preferably crystalline or amorphous alkali disilicates, be present in the compositions according to the invention in amounts of advantageously from 10 to 60% by weight, preferably from 15 to 50% by weight. % and in particular from 20 to 40 wt .-%, each based on the weight of the total composition, are included.

As zeolite P zeolite MAP ^® (commercial product from Crosfield) is particularly preferred. Also suitable, however, are zeolite X and mixtures of A, X and / or P. Commercially available and preferably usable in the context of the present invention is, for example, a cocrystal of zeolite X and zeolite A (about 80% by weight of zeolite X) ), which is sold by the company CONDEA Augusta SpA under the brand name VEGOBOND AX ^® and by the formula

n Na ₂ O (1-n) K ₂ O Al ₂ O ₃ (2 - 2.5) SiO ₂ (3.5-5.5) H ₂ O.

can be described. Suitable zeolites have an average particle size of less than 10 μm (volume distribution, measuring method: Coulter Counter) and preferably contain 18 to 22% by weight, in particular 20 to 22% by weight, of bound water. Most preferred is the use of the commonly known phosphates as builders, unless such use should be avoided for environmental reasons. This applies in particular to the use of agents according to the invention as soaking agent, which is particularly preferred in the context of the present application. Among the large number of commercially available phosphates, the alkali metal phosphates, with particular preference for pentasodium or pentapotassium triphosphate (sodium or potassium tripolyphosphate), are of greatest importance in the washing and cleaning agent industry.

Alkali metal phosphates is the summary term for the alkali metal (especially sodium and potassium) salts of various phosphoric acids, in which one can distinguish metaphosphoric acids (HPO ₃ ), and orthophosphoric H ₃ PO _{4 in} addition to higher molecular weight representatives. The phosphates combine several advantages: they act as alkali carriers, prevent lime deposits on machine parts or lime incrustations in fabrics and also contribute to the cleaning performance.

Suitable phosphates are for example the sodium dihydrogen phosphate, NaH ₂ PO ₄ , in the form of the dihydrate (density 1, 91 like ^"3 , melting point 60 °) or in the form of the monohydrate (density 2.04 like ^{" 3} ), the disodium hydrogen phosphate (secondary sodium phosphate) , Na ₂ HPO ₄ , which is anhydrous or with 2 moles (density 2.066 like ^'3 , loss of water at 95 °), 7 moles (density 1.68 like ^{' 3} , melting point 48 ° with loss of 5 H ₂ O) and 12 mol. Water (density 1, 52 like ^"3 , melting point 35 ° with loss of 5 H ₂ O) can be used, in particular however the Trisatriumphosphat (tertiary sodium phosphate) Na ₃ PO ₄ , which as Dodecahydrat, as Decahydrat (according to 19 -20% P ₂ O ₅ ) and in anhydrous form (corresponding to 39-40% P ₂ O ₅ ) can be used.

Another preferred phosphate is the tripotassium phosphate (tertiary or tribasic potassium phosphate), K ₃ PO ₄ . Also preferred are the tetrasodium diphosphate (sodium pyrophosphate), Na ₄ P ₂ O ₇ , which in anhydrous form (density 2.534 like ^"3 , melting point 988 °, also 880 ° indicated) and as decahydrate (density 1, 815-1, 836 like ^{' 3} , melting point 94 ° with loss of water), and the corresponding potassium salt potassium diphosphate (potassium pyrophosphate), K ₄ P ₂ O ₇ .

Condensation of the NaH ₂ PO ₄ or of the KH ₂ PO ₄ gives rise to relatively high molecular weight sodium and potassium phosphates, in which cyclic representatives, the sodium or potassium metaphosphates and chain-type, the sodium or potassium polyphosphates, can be distinguished. In particular, for the latter are a variety of names in use: hot or cold phosphates, Graham's salt, Kurrolsches and Maddrell's salt. All higher sodium and potassium phosphates are collectively referred to as condensed phosphates. The technically important sodium tripolyphosphate, Na ₅ P ₃ Oi ₀ (pentasodium triphosphate), is an anhydrous or with 6 H ₂ O crystallizing, non-hygroscopic, white, water-soluble salt of the general formula NaO- [P (O) (ONa) -O] _n -Na with n = 3. The corresponding potassium salt Pentakaliumtriphosphat, K ₅ P ₃ Oi ₀ (potassium tripolyphosphate), for example, in the form of a 50 wt .-% solution (> 23% P ₂ O ₅ , 25% K ₂ O) in the trade. The potassium polyphosphates are widely used in the washing and cleaning industry. There are also sodium potassium tripolyphosphates which can also be used in the context of the present invention. These arise, for example, when hydrolyzed sodium trimetaphosphate with KOH:

(NaPO ₃ J ₃ + 2 KOH - * Na ₃ K ₂ P ₃ O ₁₀ + H ₂ O

These are used according to the invention exactly as sodium tripolyphosphate, potassium tripolyphosphate or mixtures of these two; Mixtures of sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium tripolyphosphate or mixtures of potassium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium tripolyphosphate or mixtures of sodium tripolyphosphate and potassium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium tripolyphosphate can also be used according to the invention.

If phosphates are used as detergents or cleaning substances in the compositions according to the invention in the context of the present application, preferred agents may be these phosphate (s), preferably alkali metal phosphate (s), particularly preferably pentasodium or pentapotassium triphosphate (sodium or potassium tripolyphosphate), in quantities from 5 to 80 wt .-%, preferably from 15 to 75 wt .-% and in particular from 20 to 70 wt .-%, each based on the weight of the total composition.

It is preferred in particular to use potassium tripolyphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate in a weight ratio of more than 1: 1, preferably more than 2: 1, preferably more than 5: 1, more preferably more than 10: 1 and in particular more than 20: 1. It is particularly preferred to use exclusively potassium tripolyphosphate without admixtures of other phosphates.

Particularly suitable polycarboxylates / polycarboxylic acids, polymeric polycarboxylates, aspartic acid, polyacetals, dextrins, other organic cobuilders (see below) and phosphonates may be mentioned as usable organic cobuilders. These classes of substances are described below.

Useful organic builder substances are, for example, the polycarboxylic acids which can be used in the form of their sodium salts, polycarboxylic acids meaning those carboxylic acids which carry more than one acid function. For example, these are citric acid, Adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, sugar acids, aminocarboxylic acids, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), if such use is not objectionable for environmental reasons, and mixtures thereof. Preferred salts are the salts of polycarboxylic acids such as citric acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, tartaric acid, sugar acids and mixtures thereof.

The acids themselves can also be used. In addition to their builder action, the acids typically also have the property of an acidifying component and thus also serve to set a lower and milder pH of detergents or cleaners. In particular, citric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid and any desired mixtures of these can be mentioned here.

Further suitable builders are polymeric polycarboxylates, for example the alkali metal salts of polyacrylic acid or of polymethacrylic acid, for example those having a relative molecular mass of from 500 to 70,000 g / mol.

For the purposes of this document, the molecular weights stated for polymeric polycarboxylates are weight-average molar masses M _{w of} the particular acid form, which were determined in principle by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC), a UV detector being used. The measurement was carried out against an external polyacrylic acid standard, which provides realistic molecular weight values due to its structural relationship with the polymers investigated. These data differ significantly from the molecular weight data, in which polystyrene sulfonic acids are used as standard. The molar masses measured against polystyrenesulfonic acids are generally significantly higher than the molecular weights specified in this document.

Suitable polymers are, in particular, polyacrylates which preferably have a molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000 g / mol. Because of their superior solubility, the short-chain polyacrylates, which have molar masses of from 2000 to 10000 g / mol, and particularly preferably from 3000 to 5000 g / mol, may again be preferred from this group.

Also suitable are copolymeric polycarboxylates, in particular those of acrylic acid with methacrylic acid and of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with maleic acid. Copolymers of acrylic acid with maleic acid which contain 50 to 90% by weight of acrylic acid and 50 to 10% by weight of maleic acid have proven to be particularly suitable. Their relative molecular weight, based on free acids, is generally from 2000 to 70000 g / mol, preferably from 20,000 to 50,000 g / mol and in particular from 30,000 to 40,000 g / mol. The (co) polymeric polycarboxylates can preferably be used as powder. The content of (co) polymeric polycarboxylates according to the invention may preferably be 0.5 to 20% by weight, in particular 3 to 10% by weight, based on the total agent.

To improve the water solubility, the polymers may also contain allyl sulfonic acids such as allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid and methallylsulfonic acid as a monomer.

Also particularly preferred are biodegradable polymers of more than two different monomer units, for example those which contain as monomers salts of acrylic acid and maleic acid and vinyl alcohol or vinyl alcohol derivatives or as monomers salts of acrylic acid and 2-alkylallylsulfonic acid and sugar derivatives.

Further preferred copolymers are those which have as monomers preferably acrolein and acrylic acid / acrylic acid salts or acrolein and vinyl acetate.

Also to be mentioned as further preferred builders polymeric aminodicarboxylic acids, their salts or their precursors. Particularly preferred are polyaspartic acids or their salts and.

Further suitable builder substances are polyacetals which can be obtained by reacting dialdehydes with polyolcarboxylic acids which have 5 to 7 C atoms and at least 3 hydroxyl groups. Preferred polyacetals are obtained from dialdehydes such as glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, terephthalaldehyde and mixtures thereof and from polyol carboxylic acids such as gluconic acid and / or glucoheptonic acid.

Further suitable organic builder substances are dextrins, for example oligomers or polymers of carbohydrates, which can be obtained by partial hydrolysis of starches. The hydrolysis can be carried out by customary, for example acid or enzyme catalyzed processes. Preferably, it is hydrolysis products having average molecular weights in the range of 400 to 500,000 g / mol. In this case, a polysaccharide with a dextrose equivalent (DE) in the range from 0.5 to 40, in particular from 2 to 30 is preferred, DE being a common measure of the reducing action of a polysaccharide compared to dextrose, which has a DE of 100 , is. Usable are both maltodextrins with a DE between 3 and 20 and dry glucose syrups with a DE between 20 and 37 and so-called yellow dextrins and white dextrins with higher molecular weights in the range from 2000 to 30,000 g / mol. The oxidized derivatives of such dextrins are their reaction products with oxidizing agents which are capable of oxidizing at least one alcohol function of the saccharide ring to the carboxylic acid function.

Oxydisuccinates and other derivatives of disuccinates, preferably ethylenediamine disuccinate, are further suitable co-builders. Ethylenediamine-N, ^{N'-disuccinate} (EDDS) is preferably in the form of its sodium or magnesium salts. Also preferred in this context are glycerol disuccinates and glycerol trisuccinates. Suitable amounts are in zeolithhaltigen and / or silicate-containing formulations at 3 to 15 wt .-%.

Other useful organic cobuilders are, for example, acetylated hydroxycarboxylic acids or their salts, which may optionally also be present in lactone form and which contain at least 4 carbon atoms and at least one hydroxyl group and a maximum of two acid groups.

Another substance class with cobuilder properties are the phosphonates. These are, in particular, hydroxyalkane or aminoalkanephosphonates. Among the hydroxyalkane phosphonates, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonate (HEDP) is of particular importance as a co-builder. It is preferably used as the sodium salt, the disodium salt neutral and the tetrasodium salt alkaline (pH 9). Preferred aminoalkanephosphonates are ethylenediamine tetramethylenephosphonate (EDTMP), diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonate (DTPMP) and their higher homologs. They are preferably used in the form of the neutrally reacting sodium salts, for example as the hexasodium salt of EDTMP or as the hepta- and octa-sodium salt of DTPMP. The builder used here is preferably HEDP from the class of phosphonates. The aminoalkanephosphonates also have a pronounced heavy metal binding capacity. Accordingly, in particular if the agents also contain bleach, it may be preferable to use aminoalkanephosphonates, in particular DTPMP, or to use mixtures of the phosphonates mentioned.

In addition, all compounds capable of forming complexes with alkaline earth ions can be used as builders.

According to a preferred embodiment, both in chamber I and in chamber II builders, preferably phosphates, are included. According to a further preferred embodiment, the total composition contains less than 30 wt .-%, preferably less than 20 wt .-%, advantageously less than 10 wt .-%, in particular no zeolite, wt .-% based on the total agent. According to another preferred embodiment, only chamber I contains builders in the form of phosphates. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the textile treatment agent in chamber I contains perfumes, preferably in amounts of 0.5-10% by weight, in particular in amounts of 2-5% by weight, based on the total contents of the chamber I.

As fragrances (perfume oils or fragrances), individual fragrance compounds, for example the synthetic products of the ester type, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and hydrocarbons can be used. Fragrance compounds of the ester type are, for example, benzyl acetate, phenoxyethyl isobutyrate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, dimethylbenzylcarbinyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate, linalyl benzoate, benzyl formate,

Ethylmethylphenylglycinate, allylcyclohexylpropionate, styrallylpropionate and benzylsalicylate. The ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether, to the aldehydes, for example, the linear alkanals with, 8-18 C-atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxyacetaldehyde, cyclamen aldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeonal, to the ketones, for example, the ionone, α-isomethylionone and Methylcedrylketone, to the alcohols anethole, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol, the hydrocarbons include mainly the terpenes such as limonene and pinene. Preferably, however, mixtures of different fragrances are used, which together produce an attractive fragrance. Such perfume oils may also contain natural fragrance mixtures such as are available from vegetable sources, for example, pine, citrus, jasmine, patchouly, rose or ylang-ylang oil. Also suitable are muscatel, sage, chamomile, clove, lemon balm, mint, cinnamon, lime, juniper, vetiver, olibanum, galbanum and labdanum, and orange blossom, neroliol, orange peel and sandalwood.

The fragrances can be processed directly, but it can also be advantageous to apply the fragrances on carriers, which provide a slower fragrance release for long-lasting fragrance. As such carrier materials, for example, cyclodextrins have been proven, the cyclodextrin-perfume complexes can be additionally coated with other excipients.

Another object of the present invention is a process for the treatment of textiles with a textile treatment agent according to the invention in which the contents of chamber I in a container with water and textiles brings in a first step in contact, and in a later step, the contents of chamber Il added , In this method, the bag package does not have to be separated, but it is also possible first to empty the first chamber and later the second chamber.

Another object of the present invention is a process for the treatment of textiles with a textile treatment agent according to the invention wherein the bag package is first separated so that 2 separate bags (chambers I and II) are obtained, wherein in a first process step, the contents of bag I ( corresponds to chamber I) in a container in contact with water and textiles in contact, and in a later process step the contents of bag Il (corresponds to chamber II) added.

In order to use or add the content of water-soluble bags in the sense just mentioned, it is possible to add the water-soluble bags as a whole, since the bag material then dissolves in the water and the bag contents are thus released. In particular, the separate bags are added sequentially.

Alternatively, it is possible and preferred, in particular in the case of water-insoluble bags, not to add the respective, entire bag, but simply to empty the content of the respective bag, which has previously been opened, into the container. In both cases, the content of the prey is in contact with the textile and the water and can be effective. The container in which the contents of the bag I with water and textiles is brought into contact, for example, a trough, a pot, a tub or a bowl, but it can also be a washing machine, more specifically, to the laundry drum of a Washing machine act.

At a later time, for example after 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 or 60 minutes (etc.), one then adds the contents of the bag II. The residence time of the textile material in the respective liquor may be, for example, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, minutes (etc.) in total, but it may be longer, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 hours , for example, 12 or 24 hours.

According to a preferred embodiment of the method, the contents of bag II are added only 10 to 45 minutes, preferably 15 to 30 minutes after the addition of the contents of bag I.

A further subject of the present invention is the use of a textile treatment agent according to the invention as an emollient. The textiles to be treated are immersed in a soaking fluid containing water and the contents of the first bag for an effective period of time. This period can be a few minutes, for example 10-45 minutes or 15-30 minutes, but it can also be hours, for example when immersing overnight. After this effective period of time, the contents of bag II are added and the fabrics remain in the liquid for a further effective period of time, for example for a few minutes (such as 15-30 minutes), or even for hours, for example when immersed Night. Subsequently, the textile material is removed from the soaking liquid. The period should be chosen so that it is sufficient to clean the textiles, which can be easily checked by visual inspection of the treated fabric. In contrast to a typical laundry process with the aid of a washing machine, the soaking process allows a longer contact time between the textiles and the soaking liquid, for example several hours (soaking overnight). This has advantages for the consumer. He only needs one trough and some water to fill that trough. He needs no electricity and no washing machine. For example, if the machine washing of a single heavily soiled garment in the washing machine for energy saving reasons is out of the question, the consumer can now clean the garment with little effort over the soaking process. At the same time, the soaking process provides excellent degreasing performance, especially with regard to dried, aged laundry soils containing protein and starch or carbohydrate components, for example cocoa, egg yolks, gravies, blood and the like, as well as Look at colored stains, which contain, for example, anthocyanin dyes, betanidine, carotenoids, curcuma dyes, tannins, humic acids, chlorophyll or else technical dyes, for example from cosmetics.

After immersing the textiles in the soaking fluid for the desired period, they can be removed and rinsed with water. The fabrics may also be laundered in a normal laundry operation after being soaked with or rinsing between the soaking operation and the subsequent laundry washing operation.

An advantage of the application according to the invention is that excellent results are achieved even with short soaking operations, advantageously below 50, 40 or 30 minutes. A further advantage of the invention that effective results can be achieved even at a low soaking temperature, for example below 30 ° C or even below 20 ^0C.

The soaking process can be done independently of any other process. But it is also possible to combine the soaking with a laundry process in the washing machine.

A further subject of the present invention is accordingly the use of a textile treatment agent according to the invention as a washing aid, in particular as a pretreatment agent (in particular before hand or machine washing) or as a post-treatment agent (in particular after hand or machine washing). Such use can be used to advantage in the most stubborn soils.

The textile treatment agent according to the invention can advantageously also function as a universal textile detergent and thus is a further subject of this invention in the use of a textile treatment agent according to the invention as a universal textile detergent. Without further ado, the agent according to the invention can also be applied via an automatic washing machine. For this purpose, for example, the contents of bag I directly into the washing drum and the contents of bag Il are metered through the detergent drawer (compartment for the main wash or compartment for a later wash), for example, by emptying the bag contents in the appropriate compartment.

In the present invention, the fabric treatment agent may also be used as a laundry additive, for example, by using it "on top" with a conventional detergent, i.e., combining it with a normal detergent.

According to the invention, the textile treatment agent can also be used to soften fabric, for example, when the fabric treatment agent contains a suitable plasticizer, for example bentonite. The textile treatment agents according to the invention are advantageously detergents or cleaners or soakers. The textile treatment agents according to the invention may comprise further optional substances, preferably one or more further customary constituents of detergents or soakers, preferably from the group of surfactants, polymers, dyes, electrolytes, pH adjusters, perfume carriers, fluorescers, hydrotopes, foam inhibitors, Silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, anti-crease agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, antistatic agents, ironing aids, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents and / or UV absorbers.

According to a preferred embodiment, no polymers are contained in the compositions according to the invention.

In order to facilitate the disintegration of particulate agents, it is possible to incorporate disintegration aids, so-called disintegrants, in these compositions in order to shorten the disintegration times. These are usually adjuvants that provide for the rapid disintegration of tablets in water. These substances, which are also referred to as explosives due to their action, increase their volume upon ingress of water, on the one hand increasing the intrinsic volume (swelling), and on the other hand creating a pressure via the release of gases which causes the particle to disintegrate into smaller particles. Well-known disintegration aids are, for example, carbonate / citric acid systems, although other organic acids can also be used. Swelling disintegration aids are, for example, synthetic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or natural polymers or modified natural substances such as cellulose and starch and their derivatives, alginates or casein derivatives.

Preference is given to using optional disintegration aids in amounts of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably from 3 to 7% by weight and in particular from 4 to 6% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the disintegration assistant-containing agent.

Disintegrating agents based on cellulose may be used as preferred disintegrating agents in the present invention, so that preferred textile treatment agents comprise such a cellulose-based disintegrating agent in amounts of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably from 3 to 7% by weight and in particular from 4 to 6 Wt .-% may contain. Pure cellulose has the formal gross composition (C ₆ H ₁₀ Os) _n and is formally a β-1,4-polyacetal of cellobiose, which in turn is composed of two molecules of glucose. Suitable celluloses consist of about 500 to 5000 glucose units and therefore have average molecular weights of 50,000 to 500,000. Cellulose-based disintegrating agents which can be used in the context of the present invention are also cellulose derivatives obtainable by polymer-analogous reactions of cellulose. Such chemically modified celluloses include, for example, products of esterifications or etherifications in which hydroxy hydrogen atoms have been substituted. Celluloses in which the hydroxy groups have been replaced by functional groups which are not bonded via an oxygen atom can also be used as cellulose derivatives. The group of cellulose derivatives includes, for example, alkali metal celluloses, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), cellulose esters and ethers, and aminocelluloses. The cellulose derivatives mentioned are preferably not used alone as optional cellulosic disintegrating agents but used in admixture with cellulose. The content of these mixtures of cellulose derivatives may preferably be below 50% by weight, more preferably below 20% by weight, based on the cellulose-based disintegrating agent. It is particularly preferred to use pure cellulose which is free of cellulose derivatives as optional cellulose-based disintegrating agent.

Disintegration auxiliaries preferred in the context of the present invention, preferably a cellulose-based disintegration assistant, preferably in granular, cogranulated or compacted form, may be present in the compositions according to the invention in amounts of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably from 3 to 7 wt .-% and in particular from 4 to 6 wt .-%, each based on the total weight of the disintegrating agent-containing agent, be contained. According to a preferred embodiment, no disintegration auxiliaries are contained in the agents according to the invention.

Furthermore, according to the invention, gas-evolving effervescent systems can furthermore be used. The gas-evolving effervescent system may consist of a single substance that releases a gas upon contact with water. Among these compounds, mention should be made in particular of magnesium peroxide, which liberates oxygen on contact with water. Usually, however, the gas-releasing effervescent system in turn consists of at least two constituents which react with one another to form gas. While here a variety of systems is thinkable and executable that release, for example, nitrogen, oxygen or hydrogen, which can be optionally used in the inventive textile treatment agents effervescent system can be selected both on the basis of economic and environmental considerations. Preferred effervescent systems consist of alkali metal carbonate and / or bicarbonate and an acidifying agent which is suitable for liberating carbon dioxide from the alkali metal salts in aqueous solution.

In the case of the alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates, the sodium and potassium salts are clearly preferred over the other salts for reasons of cost. Of course, if not at all, the respective pure alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates must be used; Rather, mixtures of different carbonates and bicarbonates may be preferred.

Preferably, as an optional effervescent system 2 to 20 wt .-%, preferably 3 to 15 wt .-% and in particular 5 to 10 wt .-% of an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate and 1 to 15, preferably 2 to 12 and especially 3 to 10 wt .-% of an acidifying agent, each based on the total weight of the agent used.

Acidifying agents which release carbon dioxide from the alkali metal salts in aqueous solution include, for example, boric acid and alkali metal hydrogen sulfates, alkali metal dihydrogen phosphates and other inorganic salts. However, preference is given to using organic acidifying agents, the citric acid being a particularly preferred acidifying agent. However, it is also possible in particular to use the other solid mono-, oligo- and polycarboxylic acids. Tartaric acid, succinic acid, malonic acid, adipic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid and polyacrylic acid are again preferred from this group. Organic sulfonic acids such as sulfamic acid are also usable. Commercially available and also preferably usable as Acidifizierungsmittel in the context of the present invention Sokalan ^® DCS (trademark of BASF), a mixture of succinic acid (max. 31 wt .-%), glutaric acid (max. 50 wt .-%) and adipic acid (max. 33 wt .-%).

In the context of the present invention, acidifying agents in the effervescent system from the group of organic di-, tri- and oligocarboxylic acids or mixtures can preferably be used.

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 compositions and to light and no pronounced substantivity to the substrates to be treated with the dye-containing agents such as glass, ceramics, plastic dishes or textiles do not stain them. It is preferred if discernible dyes are used in both chambers. Dye in the range from 0.001-0.01% by weight, in particular from 0.002 to 0.006% by weight, based on the total mass of the relevant chamber, is preferably used per chamber.

Suitable foam inhibitors 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 the nonionic cellulose ether and the known from the prior art polymers of phthalic acid and / or terephthalic acid or derivatives thereof, in particular polymers of ethylene terephthalates and / or polyethylene glycol terephthalates or anionic and / or nonionic modified derivatives thereof. Especially preferred of these are the sulfonated derivatives of the phthalic and terephthalic acid polymers.

Graying inhibitors in textile cleaners 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 the water-soluble salts of polymeric carboxylic acids, glue, gelatin, 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. Cellulosic ethers such as carboxymethylcellulose (sodium salt), methylcellulose, hydroxyalkylcellulose and mixed ethers such as methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, methylcarboxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof can furthermore be employed as graying inhibitors in the particulate agents. Antimicrobial agents are used to combat microorganisms. Depending on the antimicrobial spectrum and mechanism of action, a distinction is made between bacteriostatic agents and bactericides, fungistatics and fungicides, etc. Important substances from these groups are, for example, benzalkonium chlorides, alkylarylsulfonates, halophenols and phenol mercuriacetate, and the use of these agents can be dispensed with altogether.

The formulations may also comprise fabric softening clay minerals which may be selected from a variety of minerals, especially the layered silicates. The group of smectites has proved to be advantageous. The term smectite includes both clays in which alumina is present in a silicate lattice and clays in which magnesium oxide occurs in a silicate lattice. Typical smectites have the following general formula: Al ₂ (Si ₂ O ₅₎ ₂ (OH) ₂ ^'nH ₂ O and the compounds having the following formula Mg ₃ (Si ₂ O ₅₎ ₂ (OH) _^2' nH ₂ O. Smectites are usually in a broad three-layer structure. Specific examples of suitable smectites include those selected from the class of montmorillonites, hectorites, volkonskites, nontronites, saponites, and sauconites, especially those having alkali or alkaline earth metal ions in the crystal lattice structure. Preferred is a three-layer, expandable aluminum silicate characterized by a dioctahedral crystal lattice, whereas the extended three-layer magnesium silicate structure has a trioctahedral crystal lattice. As mentioned previously, the clay minerals contain cationic counterions such as protons, sodium ions, potassium ions, calcium ion, magnesium ions, and the like. Usually, the clay minerals are distinguished by the cations that are predominantly or exclusively absorbed. For example, a sodium bentonot is such a clay mineral in which there is predominantly sodium as the absorbed cation. Such absorbed cations can undergo exchange reactions with other cations in aqueous solutions. A typical exchange reaction involving a smectite type is as follows:

Smectite (Na) + NH ₄ OH> smectite (NH ₄ ) + NaOH

In the aforementioned equilibrium reaction, one equivalent of ammonium ion is replaced by one equivalent of sodium ion. It is common to measure the cation exchange capacity in milliequivalents / 100g (meq / 100g). The cation exchange capacity of the clays can be determined in a variety of ways, for example, by electrodialysis or by exchange with ammonium ions, followed by titration. Smectites such as nontonite have an ion exchange capacity of about 70 meq / 100g, and montmorillonites having an exchange capacity above 70 meq / 100g have been found to be most preferred in the present invention as they are particularly effective at apply textiles and give them the desired softness. Particularly preferred clay minerals In the context of the present invention, therefore, expanded three-layered smectite types having an ion exchange capacity of at least 50 meq / 100 g.

Organophilic clay minerals may also be used in the present invention. Such hydrophobically modified clay minerals in which inorganic metal ions are exchanged by organic ions through the above-described exchange process are also preferred. The modified clay minerals are very miscible with organic solvents and have the property of storing organic solvents between the layers. Suitable examples of organophilic clay minerals are Bentone SD-1, SD-2 and SD-3 from Rheox.

From the group of smectites have been found to be particularly preferred the bentonites. Bentonites are contaminated clays caused by the weathering of volcanic tuffs. Due to their high content of montmorillonite, bentonites have valuable properties such as swellability, ion exchange capacity and thixotropy. It is possible to modify the properties of the bentonite according to the intended use. Bentonites are common as a clay constituent in tropical soils and are mined as sodium bentonite, for example in Wyoming, USA. Sodium bentonite has the most favorable performance properties (swellability), so that its use in the context of the present invention is preferred. Naturally occurring calcium bentonites originate, for example, from Mississippi / USA or Texas / USA or from Landshut / D. The naturally obtained Ca-bentonites are artificially converted by exchange of Ca for Na in the more swellable Na-bentonites.

The main constituent of bentonites are so-called montmorillonites, which can also be used in their pure form in the context of the present invention. Montmorillonites are clay minerals that belong to the phyllosilicates and here to the dioctahedral smectites, which crystallize in a monoclinic pseudohexagonal manner. Montmorillonite form predominantly white, grayish-white to yellowish, completely amorphous appearing, easily friable, in the water swelling, but not plasticizing masses, by the general formulas

Al ₂ KOH) ₂ ZSi ₄ O ₁₀ I nH ₂ O or Al ₂ O ₃ -4SiO ₂ H ₂ O nH ₂ O or Al ₂ [(OH) ₂ / Si ₄ O ₁₀ ] (dried at 150 °)

can be described.

Montmorillonites have a three-layer structure consisting of two tetrahedral layers, which are electrostatically crosslinked via the cations of an octahedral intermediate layer. The layers are not rigidly connected, but can be formed by reversible incorporation of water (in the 2-7 times Amount) and other substances such as alcohols, glycols, pyridine, ammonium compounds, hydroxy aluminosilicate ions, etc. swell. The above. Formulas are only approximate formulas since montmorillonites have a large ion exchange capacity. Thus, Al can be exchanged for Mg, Fe ²⁺ , Fe ³⁺ , Zn, Cr ₁ Cu and other ions. As a result of such substitution, a negative charge of the layers results, which is balanced by other cations, especially Na ⁺ and Ca ²⁺ .

Calcium or magnesium bentonites are usually non-swellable and usually less effective plasticizers. However, it is advantageous to combine non-swellable bentonites with carrier materials, such as polyethylene glycol, to achieve a significantly improved softness of the textiles treated therewith. Also advantageous are calcium or magnesium bentonites, which can be used in the presence of a sodium source, such as NaOH or NaCO ₃ .

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the clay is a treated montmorillonite-containing clay having the following properties:

I) montmorillonite content of at least 85% and

II) when the clay activated with sodium ions is dried and ground to particles, then the milled particles swell no more than two and a half times over a period of 24 hours when deionized water is added at room temperature.

Particularly preferred is a montmorillonite-containing clay obtained by the following process steps: a) drying the clay to a water content of 25-35% by weight, b) extruding the dried material into a paste; c) drying the paste to a moisture content of 10-14% by weight and d) calcining at a temperature between 120 and 250 ^° C.

The chemical composition of the bentonite to be used as starting material is preferably the following:

SiO ₂ : 55.0 - 61, 0% by weight

Al ₂ O ₃ : 14.5-17.6% by weight

Fe ₂ O ₃ : 1.45-1.7% by weight

CaO: 2.8-7.0% by weight

MgO: 5.0-6.3 wt%

K ₂ O: 0.5 - 0.58% by weight

Na ₂ O: 0.25-0.3% by weight

Mn ₃ O ₄ : 0.04-0.25 wt% The crystalline structure of montmorillonite is more or less resistant to acid treatment. By acid treatment in the invention is meant that a sample of the clay, for example, 1 g / l) in a 1 N HCl solution for 15 hours at a temperature of 8O ⁰ C is exposed. It must be mentioned that most clays can be destroyed by acid treatment with, for example, hydrogen fluoride. In the context of the present invention, however, acid treatment means HCI treatment. Montmorillonites (magnesium saturated / air dried) usually have a maximum diffraction distance of 14-15 Å in the 001 plane when treated with X-radiation. This maximum diffraction distance usually does not change either by treating the clay with HCl.

In the present invention, however, acid-sensitive montmorillonites are preferred, for example, montmorillonites whose crystalline structure is destroyed when treated with HCl. The use of such clay minerals has a softness-improving effect and also provides for better dispersibility in the aqueous wash liquor or the aqueous fabric treatment liquor. The destruction of the crystalline structure can be determined by measuring the diffraction distance, so that for the destroyed montmorillonites, the maximum diffraction distance expected for crystalline montmorilonites in the 001 plane of 14-15 Å does not appear.

Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the acid sensitivity is related to increased exchange of aluminum by magnesium in the octahedral layer of the montmorillonite clay. Preferred is a ratio of Al ₂ CVMgO of less than 4, more preferably of less than 3. The aforementioned acid-sensitive montmorillonites have the advantage that they allow a reduced tendency to gel as well as an improved dispersibility in the wash liquor. In addition, it has been observed that such clay minerals produce improved softness. According to a preferred embodiment, the textile treatment agents according to the invention are free of clay minerals.
