Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Mischung zum Entfärben und/oder Entgrauen von Wäschestücken, insbesondere zu Haushaltszwecken.The present invention relates to a mixture for decolorization and / or degumming of items of laundry, in particular for household purposes.

Entfärber zur Herstellung gattungsgemäßer Mischungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Aus der DE 38 31 098 C2 ist eine Wirkstoffkombination für Mittel zum Entfärben, Abziehen von Fehlfärbungen und Aufhellen von gefärbten Textilien bekannt, welche Thioharnstoffdioxid enthält und zwei jeweils pulverartig rieselfähige, bis zu einem Gebrauch in einem Gebinde getrennt voneinander verpackt und unmittelbar vor Gebrauch zur Bildung einer Flotte gemeinsam in eine wässrige Lösung zu überführende Komponenten aufweist, wobei die eine Komponente das Thioharnstoffdioxid bildet und die andere Komponente aus einer in einem bestimmten Konzentrationsverhältnis zur Konzentration des Thioharnstoffdioxides bestehenden Konzentration einer in wässriger Lösung alkalisch reagierenden Substanz besteht. Die alkalische Substanz ist dabei insbesondere Natriumcarbonat.Detoxifiers for the preparation of generic mixtures are known from the prior art. From the DE 38 31 098 C2 is a drug combination for means for decolorization, removal of false coloration and lightening of dyed textiles known which contains thiourea dioxide and two each powdery free-flowing, packed until used in a container separated from each other and immediately before use to form a liquor together in an aqueous solution to be converted components, wherein the one component forms the thiourea dioxide and the other component consists of a concentration in a certain concentration ratio to the concentration of thiourea dioxide concentration of a reacting in aqueous solution alkaline substance. The alkaline substance is in particular sodium carbonate.

EP 0 615 018 A1 offenbart einen Textilentfärber, insbesondere für Haushaltszwecke, der in wässriger Lösung eine alkalische Entfärbeflotte für zu entfärbende Textilien bildet. Der dort offenbarte Textilentfärber zeichnet sich durch ein lagerfähiges Pulvergemisch ebenfalls mit Thioharnstoffdioxid als entfärbende Wirkstoffkomponente, ferner mit Natriumcarbonat oder einem anderen wasserlöslichen Carbonat oder Hydrogencarbonat der Alkalimetalle als Alkaliträger und mit einem Entschäumer zum Austragen von Sauerstoff aus der Entfärbeflotte oder mit einem Schaumverhüter in der Entfärbeflotte aus. Dabei enthält die Entfärbermischung vorzugsweise 3 Gew% bis 25 Gew% Thioharnstoffdioxid. Des Weiteren kann noch Harnstoff zugesetzt werden, durch welchen die Entfärbewirksamkeit der Entfärbermischung überraschend erhöht werden kann. Der Entschäumer oder Schaumverhüter kann ein Silikon, Siloxan oder aber auch ein langkettiger Alkohol, ein hoch polymeres Glykol, ein Fettsäurepolyglykolester oder ein Trialkylmethylamin sein. EP 0 615 018 A1 discloses a Textilentfärber, especially for household purposes, which forms an alkaline decolorizing liquor for decolorizing textiles in aqueous solution. The Textilentfärber disclosed therein is characterized by a storable powder mixture also with thiourea dioxide as decolorizing active ingredient, further with sodium carbonate or other water-soluble carbonate or bicarbonate of the alkali metals as alkali carriers and with a defoamer for discharging oxygen from the decolorizing liquor or with a deflagration in the decolorizing liquor , The decolorizer mixture preferably contains from 3% to 25% by weight of thiourea dioxide. Furthermore, it is still possible to add urea, by means of which the decolorizing activity of the decolorizer mixture can be surprisingly increased. The antifoam or anti-foaming agent may be a silicone, siloxane or else a long-chain alcohol, a highly polymeric glycol, a fatty acid polyglycol ester or a trialkylmethylamine.

Nachteilig an diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Entfärbermischungen auf der Basis von Thioharnstoffdioxid, auch bekannt unter dem Namen Formamidinsulfinsäure, ist, dass es bei diesen Entfärbermischungen zur Bildung von in aller Regel blaufarbigen Punkten auf dem zu entfärbenden Textil kommen kann. Diese blauen Punkte dürften wohl daher rühren, dass insbesondere bei Zugabe optischer Aufheller diese ungleichmäßig auf dem zu entfärbenden Gewebe verteilt werden, und sich durch Reaktion mit dem reduktiven Bleichmittel in alkalischer Lösung ein blauer Farbstoff bildet. Derartige blaue Sprenkel bilden sich sowohl auf neuen als auch auf gebrauchten Textilien, insbesondere bei solchen auf Basis von Kunststofffasern oder sonstigen Geweben wie Baumwollgeweben, einschließlich Mischgeweben.A disadvantage of these known from the prior art Entfärbermisungen on the basis of thiourea dioxide, also known under the name formamidinesulfinic, is that it can come in these Entfärbermischungen to the formation of usually blue-colored dots on the textile to be decolored. These blue dots are probably due to the fact that, especially when optical brighteners are added, they are distributed unevenly on the tissue to be decolored, and a blue dye forms on reaction with the reductive bleach in alkaline solution. Such blue speckles Formed on both new and used textiles, especially those based on plastic fibers or other tissues such as cotton fabrics, including blended fabrics.

Des Weiteren sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt Entfärber auf der Basis von Natriumdithionit. So offenbart z. B. die DE 195 03 480 A1 ein Verfahren zum Entfärben von Textilmaterialien und einen hierfür geeigneten Entfärber, wobei dieser Entfärber zusammengesetzt ist bevorzugt aus einem reduktivem Bleichmittel in einer Menge von 20 Gew% bis 50 Gew%, einem Alkalispender in einer Menge von 35 Gew% bis 75 Gew%, einem Streckmittel in einer Menge von 0 Gew% bis 45 Gew% und einem optischen Aufheller in einer Menge von 0 Gew% bis 3 Gew%. Als reduktives Bleichmittel dient dabei Natriumdithionit, der Alkalispender umfasst Natriumhydrogencarbonat und/oder Natriumcarbonat. Des Weiteren sind offenbart Mischungen mit 50 Gew% Natriumdithionit und 50 Gew% Natriumcarbonat, im Übrigen jedoch Mischungen, die neben Natriumcarbonat stets Natriumhydrogencarbonat aufweisen. Dabei können Natriumcarbonat und Natriumhydrogencarbonat in etwa gleichen Mengen vorliegen, es kann jedoch auch Natriumhydrogencarbonat im Überschuss verwendet werden im Verhältnis zum Natriumcarbonat. Nachteilig an der Lehre der DE 195 03 480 A1 ist, dass bei den dort offenbarten Mischungen mit Natriumhydrogencarbonat aufgrund einer Reaktion mit dem Natriumdithionit es in Einzelfällen zu einer Selbsterhitzung der Mischung kommen kann, so dass diese Mischungen nicht marktfähig sind. Im Übrigen weist die dort offenbarte Mischung, welche nicht Natriumhydrogencarbonat enthält, einen relativ hohen pH-Wert auf, diese ist stark alkalisch. Bei sämtlichen Mischungen gemäß der Offenbarung der DE 195 03 480 A1 treten die auch bei Entfärbern auf der Basis von Thioharnstoffdioxid bekannten blauen Sprenkel auf.Furthermore, known from the prior art decolorizers based on sodium dithionite. For example, z. B. the DE 195 03 480 A1 a method for decolorizing textile materials and a decolorizer suitable therefor, said decolorizer being preferably composed of a reductive bleaching agent in an amount of from 20% to 50% by weight, an alkali donor in an amount of from 35% to 75% by weight, an extender in an amount of 0% to 45% by weight and an optical brightener in an amount of 0% to 3% by weight. Sodium dithionite is used as the reductive bleach, and the alkaline dispenser comprises sodium bicarbonate and / or sodium carbonate. Furthermore disclosed are mixtures with 50% by weight of sodium dithionite and 50% by weight of sodium carbonate, but otherwise mixtures which always contain sodium bicarbonate in addition to sodium carbonate. In this case, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate may be present in approximately equal amounts, but it is also possible to use sodium bicarbonate in excess in relation to the sodium carbonate. A disadvantage of the teaching of DE 195 03 480 A1 is that in the mixtures disclosed there with sodium bicarbonate due to a reaction with the sodium dithionite it can come in individual cases to self-heating of the mixture, so that these mixtures are not marketable. Incidentally, the mixture disclosed therein, which does not contain sodium hydrogencarbonate, has a relatively high pH, which is strongly alkaline. In all mixtures according to the disclosure of DE 195 03 480 A1 The blue speckles which are also known in the case of discolourizers based on thiourea dioxide occur.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Mischung zum Entfärben und/oder Entgrauen von Wäschestücken, insbesondere zu Haushaltzwecken, zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit welcher die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Entfäbermischungen verbessert werden, und diese insbesondere auch praxisnah anwendbar sind.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a mixture for decolorization and / or degumming of items of laundry, in particular for household purposes, with which the Entfäbermischungen known from the prior art are improved, and these are also applicable in practice.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Mischung zum Entfärben und/oder Entgrauen von Wäschestücken umfassend etwa 5 g/l bis etwa 30 g/l mindestens eines dithionithaltigen Bleichmittels und etwa 1 g/l bis etwa 25 g/l mindestens eines disulfithaltigen Mittels. Durch den Einsatz eines disulfithaltigen Mittels wird der pH-Wert der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung im Unterschied zu denjenigen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Mischungen bis in den leicht sauren Bereich verschoben. Dabei wird vorteilhafterweise vermieden, dass Schwefeldioxid gebildet wird, welches sich üblicherweise im sauren Bereich aus der Zersetzung des dithionithaltigen Bleichmittels bildet. Darüber hinaus wird vorteilhafterweise die Bildung blauer Sprenkel auf den Wäschestücken vermieden. Schließlich weisen eine Reihe der erfindungsgemäßen Mischungen aus Natriumdithionit, Natriumdisulfit und/oder Natriumcarbonat und/oder Natriumhydrogencarbonat nicht die Gefahr einer Selbsterhitzung auf.This object is achieved by a mixture for decolorizing and / or dehumidifying laundry articles comprising from about 5 g / l to about 30 g / l of at least one dithionite-containing bleach and from about 1 g / l to about 25 g / l of at least one disulfide-containing agent. By using a disulfite-containing agent, the pH of the mixture according to the invention, unlike those known from the prior art mixtures, is shifted into the slightly acidic range. It is advantageously avoided that sulfur dioxide is formed, which usually forms in the acidic range from the decomposition of the dithionite-containing bleaching agent. In addition, advantageously the formation of blue speckles on the laundry is avoided. Finally, a number of the mixtures according to the invention of sodium dithionite, sodium disulfite and / or sodium carbonate and / or sodium bicarbonate do not pose the risk of self-heating.

Vorteilhafterweise umfasst die Mischung das dithionithaltige Bleichmittel in einer Menge von etwa 5 g/l bis etwa 20 g/l. Dies bedeutet, dass bei Flottenvolumen von 8 bis 12,5 I, welche marktüblich sind, ein dithionithaltiges Bleichmittel in einer Menge von etwa 40 g bis etwa 250 g eingesetzt wird. Das Bleichmittel ist dabei bevorzugt Natriumdithionit, es können jedoch auch andere dithionithaltige Verbindungen eingesetzt werden, wie beispielsweise Ammoniumverbindungen oder sonstige Alkalimetallverbindungen.Advantageously, the mixture comprises the dithionite-containing bleaching agent in an amount of about 5 g / l to about 20 g / l. This means that at liquor volumes of 8 to 12.5 l, which are commercially available, a dithionite bleaching agent in an amount of about 40 g to about 250 g is used. The bleach is preferably sodium dithionite, but other dithionithaltige compounds can be used, such as ammonium compounds or other alkali metal compounds.

Vorteilhafterweise weist die erfindungsgemäße Mischung das disulfithaltige Mittel in einer Menge von etwa 2 g/l bis etwa 10 g/l auf, entsprechend bei den vorgenannten marktüblichen Flottenmengen in einer Menge von etwa 16 g bis etwa 125 g des disulfithaltigen Mittels. Das disulfithaltige Mittel ist vorzugsweise ausgewählt aus einer Gruppe umfassend Natriumdisulfit, Ammoniumdisulfit und/oder Kaliumdisulfit, wobei besonders bevorzugt Natriumdisulfit ist.Advantageously, the mixture according to the invention comprises the disulphite-containing agent in an amount of from about 2 g / l to about 10 g / l, corresponding to the abovementioned commercial liquor levels in an amount of from about 16 g to about 125 g of the disulphide-containing agent. The disulfite-containing agent is preferably selected from a group comprising sodium disulfite, ammonium disulfite and / or potassium disulfite, with sodium disulfite being particularly preferred.

Die erfindungsgemäße Mischung umfasst vorzugsweise weiterhin mindestens ein Alkalimittel. Das Alkalimittel ist dabei vorteilhafterweise gewählt aus einer Gruppe umfassend Natriumcarbonat, Natriumhydrogencarbonat, Ammoniumcarbonat, Ammoniumhydrogencarbonat, Kaliumcarbonat, Kaliumhydrogencarbonat, Trinatriumphosphat, Natriumhydroxid und/oder Natriumsesquicarbonat. Das zugesetzte Alkalimittel bewirkt, dass aufgrund der pH-Wert-Minderung beim Entfärbevorgang der pH-Wert der Flotte auf einen Wert unter 4 absinkt, und so mögliche Korrosionsschäden an einer für die Entfärbung eingesetzten Waschmaschine vermieden werden. Vorteilhafterweise wird dabei das Alkalimittel in einer Konzentration eingesetzt, welche etwa gleich groß ist wie die Konzentration an dem dithionithaltigen Mittel. Aber auch ein Verhältnis der Konzentrationen an Alkalimittel zu dithionithaltigem Mittel in einem Bereich von etwa 2:1 zu 1:2 führt zu guten Entfärbeergebnissen. Die Menge des eingesetzten Alkalimittels liegt bevorzugt in einem Bereich von etwa 2 g/l bis etwa 20 g/l. Vorteilhafterweise wird dabei Natriumhydrogencarbonat und/oder Natriumcarbonat als Alkalimittel eingesetzt. Der pH-Wert einer wässrigen Lösung der erfindungemäßen Mischung liegt dabei vorteilhafterweise vor Entfärbung in einem Bereich von etwa 5 bis etwa 9, weiter bevorzugt in einem Bereich von etwa 6 bis etwa 8,5. Nach dem Entfärben weist die wässrige Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung einen pH-Wert von größer etwa 4,5, bevorzugt einen pH-Wert in einem Bereich von etwa 5 bis etwa 6 oder 6,5 auf. Durch diesen im sauren Bereich liegenden pH-Wert der wässrigen Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung nach Entfärbung wird, insbesondere bei Zusatz von Blaupunktsuppressoren, sichergestellt, dass die Bildung blauer Sprenkel auf den zu entfärbenden/zu entgrauenden Wäschestücken vermieden wird.The mixture according to the invention preferably further comprises at least one alkali agent. The alkali agent is advantageously selected from a group comprising sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, trisodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide and / or sodium sesquicarbonate. The added alkali agent causes the pH of the liquor to drop to a value below 4 due to the pH reduction during the decolorization process, thus avoiding possible corrosion damage to a washing machine used for decolorization. Advantageously, the alkali agent is used in a concentration which is about the same size as the concentration of the dithionite-containing agent. But also a ratio of the concentrations of alkali agent to dithionithaltigem agent in a range of about 2: 1 to 1: 2 leads to good Entkärbeergebnissen. The amount of the alkali agent used is preferably in a range of about 2 g / l to about 20 g / l. Advantageously, sodium bicarbonate and / or sodium carbonate is used as the alkali agent. The pH of an aqueous solution of the mixture according to the invention is advantageously before decolorization in a range from about 5 to about 9, more preferably in a range from about 6 to about 8.5. After decolorizing, the aqueous solution of the mixture according to the invention has a pH greater than about 4.5, preferably a pH in the range of about 5 to about 6 or 6.5. As a result of this acidic pH of the aqueous solution of the mixture according to the invention after decolorization, it is ensured, in particular with the addition of blue-spot suppressors, that the formation of blue speckles on the items to be decolorized / de-scrubbed is avoided.

Die erfindungsgemäße Mischung umfasst weiterhin Streckmittel, Duftmittel, Geruchsinhibitoren, Sulfitfänger, Tenside jeglicher Art, Korrosionsinhibitoren und/oder Blaupunktsuppressoren.The mixture according to the invention also comprises extenders, fragrances, odor inhibitors, sulfite scavengers, surfactants of any kind, corrosion inhibitors and / or blue spot suppressors.

Sofern ein Streckmittel eingesetzt wird, wird dieses vorzugsweise ausgewählt aus einer Gruppe umfassend Natriumsulfat, Ammoniumsulfat, Natriumchlorid, Ammoniumchlorid, Ammoniumacetat und/oder Diammoniumhydrogenphosphat. Das Streckmittel kann dabei in Konzentrationen bis zu 30 g/l in der wässrigen Mischung vorliegen. Es werden bevorzugt solche Streckmittel eingesetzt, welche Ammonium-Kationen aufweisen. Besonders bevorzugt ist als Streckmittel Natriumsulfat und/oder Ammoniumsulfat. Duftmittel und Geruchsinhibitoren können allein oder in Mischungen in Konzentrationen in einem Bereich von 0,001 g/l bis etwa 0,6 g/l in der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung enthalten sein. Als Duftmittel sind dabei bevorzugt ausgewählt die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Duftöle. Besonders bevorzugt kann Linalool (3,7 Dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol) eingesetzt werden, weil dieses in der Lage ist, beim Entfärbevorgang auftretende unangenehme Gerüche auf Basis schwefelhaltiger Geruchskörper zu markieren und so die Wirkung der übrigen Duftstoffe zu steigern. Als Sulfitfänger können eingesetzt werden insbesondere Aceton, Formaldehyd, reduzierbare Zucker, wie Traubenzucker und Fruchtzucker, sowie nicht reduzierbare Zucker wie z. B. Rohrzucker. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass insbesondere geeignet als Sulfitfänger Rohrzucker, Natriumascorbat und/oder Natriumthiosulfat sind, da diese die Entfärbungsleistung der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung am wenigsten beeinträchtigen.If an extender is used, it is preferably selected from a group comprising sodium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, ammonium acetate and / or diammonium hydrogen phosphate. The extender may be present in concentrations of up to 30 g / l in the aqueous mixture. It is preferred to use those extenders which have ammonium cations. Particularly preferred as the diluent sodium sulfate and / or ammonium sulfate. Fragrances and odor inhibitors may be present alone or in mixtures in concentrations ranging from 0.001 g / l to about 0.6 g / l in the mixture according to the invention. Preferred fragrances are the fragrance oils known from the prior art. Particularly preferred linalool (3,7 dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol) can be used, because this is able to mark the unpleasant odors occurring during the Entfärbevorgang based on sulfur-containing odor and thus to increase the effect of other perfumes , As Sulfitfänger can be used in particular acetone, formaldehyde, reducible sugars, such as glucose and fructose, and non-reducible sugars such. B. cane sugar. It has been found that particularly suitable as sulfite scavengers are cane sugar, sodium ascorbate and / or sodium thiosulfate, since these least affect the decolorization performance of the mixture according to the invention.

Besonders bevorzugt umfasst die erfindungsgemäße Mischung mindestens einen Blaupunktsuppressor, ausgewählt aus einer Gruppe umfassend mindestens eine quartäre Ammoniumverbindung und/oder mindestens ein Polyvinylpyrrolidon. Unter Blaupunktsuppressoren im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Substanzen oder Substanzmischungen zu verstehen, die das unerwünschte Auftreten von blauen Punkten oder Sprenkeln weiter verhindern oder unterdrücken helfen bzw. deren Anzahl in signifikanter Weise vermindern können. Dabei wurde überraschenderweise festgestellt, dass durch den Einsatz derartiger Blaupunktsuppressoren in der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung, welche grundsätzlich bereits die Bildung blauer Sprenkel im Entfärbungsvorgang vermeidet, ein synergetischer Effekt auftritt, so dass bei erfindungsgemäßen Mischungen, welche insbesondere Blaupunktsuppressoren in einer Menge in einem Bereich von etwa 0,1 g/l bis etwa 5 g/l aufweisen, auch gewebeunabhängig eine so gut wie vollständige Verhinderung der Bildung von blauen Sprenkeln festzustellen ist. Dabei tritt dieser Effekt weiter vorzugsweise dann auf, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Mischung in wässriger Lösung sich zumindest nach der Entfärbung im leicht sauren Bereich bewegt, also beispielsweise einen pH-Wert in einem Bereich von etwa 5 bis 7 aufweist.The mixture according to the invention particularly preferably comprises at least one blue spot suppressor selected from a group comprising at least one quaternary ammonium compound and / or at least one polyvinylpyrrolidone. Blaupunkttsuppressoren in the context of the present invention are substances or mixtures of substances to understand that can help prevent the undesirable occurrence of blue dots or speckles continue to suppress or reduce their number in a significant manner. It was surprisingly found that through the use such Blaupunktsuppressoren in the mixture according to the invention, which in principle already avoids the formation of blue speckles in the decolorizing process, a synergistic effect occurs, so that mixtures of the invention, in particular Blaupunktsuppressoren in an amount ranging from about 0.1 g / l to about 5 g / l, also a tissue-independent as good as complete prevention of the formation of blue speckles is observed. In this case, this effect further preferably occurs when the mixture according to the invention in aqueous solution at least after decolorization moves in the slightly acidic range, that is, for example, has a pH in a range of about 5 to 7.

Unter dem Begriff der Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung werden sowohl Copolymere als auch Block-Copolymere und Random-Block-Copolymere, aber auch Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP; Kurzbezeichnung: Crospovidon) verstanden. Crospovidone sind unlösliche, vernetzte Polyvinylpyrrolidone, die sich beim Erhitzen von Vinylpyrrolidon mit Alkalien oder Divinylverbindungen als so genannte "Popcorn-Polymere" bilden. Der Einsatz derartiger Polyvinylpyrrolidon-Derivate ist im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung besonders bevorzugt.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Blaupunktsuppressor bei Auswahl einer quartären Ammoniumverbindung ausgewählt aus einer Gruppe umfassend Dimethyl-substituierte quartäre Ammoniumverbindungen, wobei weiter bevorzugt Dialkyl-Dimethyl- und/oder Monoalkyl-Monobenzyl-Dimethyl-substituierte quartäre Ammoniumverbindungen sind. Bevorzugt besteht der Alkylrest der quartären Ammoniumverbindung aus linearen und/oder verzweigten Kohlenstoffketten mit 4 bis 20 Kohlenstoffatomen. Der Blaupunktsuppressor liegt dabei bevorzugt als Chloridsalz vor. Im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung können dabei auch Mischungen unterschiedlicher Blaupunktsuppressoren auf Basis von quartären Ammoniumverbindungen, auch in Kombination mit Polyvinylpyrrolidonen als Blaupunktsuppressoren, auch Mischungen derselben, in der Entfärbermischung vorliegen.Particularly preferred is the blue dot suppressor in selecting a quaternary ammonium compound selected from a group comprising dimethyl-substituted quaternary ammonium compounds, more preferably being dialkyl-dimethyl and / or monoalkyl-monobenzyl-dimethyl-substituted quaternary ammonium compounds. The alkyl radical of the quaternary ammonium compound preferably consists of linear and / or branched carbon chains having 4 to 20 carbon atoms. The blue spot suppressor is preferably present as the chloride salt. For the purposes of the present invention, it is also possible for mixtures of different blueprint suppressors based on quaternary ammonium compounds, also in combination with polyvinylpyrrolidones as blue spot suppressors, and also mixtures thereof, to be present in the decolorizer mixture.

Weiterhin kann die erfindungsgemäße Mischung sonstige übliche, auch Waschmitteln zugesetzte Substanzen aufweisen. So kann die Entfärbermischung z. B. optische Aufheller aufweisen, da diese nicht nachteilig zu der Bildung von blauen Sprenkeln aufgrund des Vorsehens eines Blaupunktsuppressors in der erfindungsgemäßen Entfärbermischung führen. Des Weiteren können der Entfärbermischung Enzyme, Schauminhibitoren, Weichmacher und sonstige Hilfsmittel zugesetzt sein.Furthermore, the mixture according to the invention may comprise other customary substances which are also added to detergents. Thus, the Entfärbermischung z. B. optical brightener, since they do not adversely lead to the formation of blue speckles due to the provision of a Blaupunktsuppressors in Entfärbermischung invention. Furthermore, enzymes, foam inhibitors, plasticizers and other auxiliaries may be added to the decolorizer mixture.

Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, dass auch das Vorliegen nur geringer Mengen an Blaupunktsuppressoren, insbesondere von Mengen in einem Bereich von 0,1 g/l bis 1g/l in der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung zu hervorragenden Entfärbungsergebnissen führen, was mit der deutlich verringerten Alkalität der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung im Vergleich zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Mischungen begründet sein dürfte.Surprisingly, it has been shown that the presence of only small amounts of blue spot suppressors, in particular of amounts in a range of 0.1 g / l to 1 g / l in the mixture according to the invention lead to excellent decolorization results, which corresponds to the significantly reduced alkalinity of the mixture according to the invention should be justified in comparison to the known from the prior art mixtures.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Mischung umfassend etwa 10 g/l bis etwa 20 g/l Natriumdithionit als Bleichmittel, etwa 2 g/l bis etwa 10 g/l Natriumdisulfit als disulfithaltiges Mittel sowie etwa 2 g/l bis etwa 10 g/l Natriumcarbonat und/oder Natriumhydrogencarbonat als Alkalimittel. Weiter bevorzugt kann eine solche Mischung ein Blaupunktsuppressor ausgewählt aus der Gruppe der Polyvinylpyrrolidone und/oder quartären Ammoniumverbindungen in einer Menge von 0,1 g/l bis etwa 0,3 g/l umfassen.Particularly preferred is a mixture comprising about 10 g / l to about 20 g / l sodium dithionite as bleach, about 2 g / l to about 10 g / l sodium disulfite as disulfithaltige and about 2 g / l to about 10 g / l sodium carbonate and / or sodium bicarbonate as the alkali agent. More preferably, such a mixture may comprise a blue spot suppressor selected from the group of polyvinylpyrrolidones and / or quaternary ammonium compounds in an amount of from 0.1 g / l to about 0.3 g / l.

Schließlich betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Entfärben und/oder Entgrauen von Wäschestücken, insbesondere zu Haushaltszwecken, wobei eine erfindungsgemäße Mischung in eine Waschmaschine gegeben und anschließend insbesondere bei einer Temperatur von mindestens etwa 30 °C die Entfärbung über einen Zeitraum von wenigstens 10 Sekunden durchgeführt wird. Grundsätzlich ist festzustellen, dass bei einer höheren Temperatur die Entfärbung schneller verläuft. So wird bei einer Temperatur von etwa 90°C der Entfärbungsvorgang nach etwa 10 bis 20 Sekunden abgeschlossen sein, wohingegen bei einer Temperatur in einem Bereich von etwa 40 °C bis etwa 50 °C der Entfärbungsvorgang nach etwa 2 bis 3 Minuten praktisch abgeschlossen ist. Selbstverständlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Mischung auch derart eingesetzt werden, dass die Entfärbung nicht in einer Waschmaschine, sondern beispielsweise in einem Eimer vorgenommen wird, wobei dann zunächst die erfindungsgemäße Mischung in Wasser mit einer bestimmten Temperatur gelöst und anschließend die zu entfärbenden Wäschestücke in das Behältnis gegeben werden.Finally, the present invention relates to a method for decolorization and / or degasification of laundry, in particular for household purposes, wherein a mixture according to the invention placed in a washing machine and then carried out at a temperature of at least about 30 ° C, the decolorization over a period of at least 10 seconds becomes. Basically, it is noted that at a higher temperature, the decolorization proceeds faster. Thus, at a temperature of about 90 ° C, the decolorization process will be completed in about 10 to 20 seconds, whereas at a temperature in a range of about 40 ° C to about 50 ° C, the decolorization process will be practically completed after about 2 to 3 minutes. Of course, the mixture according to the invention can also be used such that the decolorization is not carried out in a washing machine but, for example, in a bucket, in which case the mixture according to the invention is first dissolved in water at a specific temperature and then the items to be decolored are placed in the container ,

Besonders vorteilhaft an der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung ist, dass diese unmittelbar direkt in die Trommel zu Beginn des Waschvorganges in eine Waschmaschine eingegeben werden kann oder aber in das übliche Einfüllfach. Zur Erzielung optimaler Entfärbungsleistungen ist es daher nicht notwendig, wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, erst nach Aufheizung des Wassers etwa 10 bis 15 Minuten nach Start des Waschprogrammes der Waschmaschine nachfolgend eine Entfärbermischung zuzugeben. Die erfindungsgemäße Mischung zeichnet sich daher durch eine äußerst einfache, üblichen Waschmitteln angeglichene Handhabung aus.A particular advantage of the mixture according to the invention is that it can be entered directly into the drum at the beginning of the washing process in a washing machine or in the usual filling. To achieve optimum decolorization performance, it is therefore not necessary, as known from the prior art, to add a decolorizer mixture only after heating the water about 10 to 15 minutes after the start of the washing program of the washing machine. The mixture according to the invention is therefore characterized by an extremely simple, customary detergents adapted handling.

Selbstverständlich kann mit der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung auch eine Kaltentfärbung beim Raumtemperatur, das heißt Temperaturen in einem Bereich von etwa 15 °C bis etwa 25 °C, gegebenenfalls unter Luftabschluss, wie in der DE 195 03 480 A1 beschrieben, vorgenommen werden. Allerdings sind mit der erfindungsgemäßen Mischung bei einer derartigen Entfärbung die Entfärbungsdauern erheblich geringer, so dass schon in aller Regel nach weniger als einer Stunde gute Entfärbungsergebnisse erzielt werden. Diese und weitere Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung werden anhand der nachfolgenden Beispiele näher erläutert.Of course, with the mixture according to the invention also a cold decolorization at room temperature, that is temperatures in a range of about 15 ° C to about 25 ° C, optionally with exclusion of air, as in DE 195 03 480 A1 described be made. However, with such a decolorization, the decolorization times are considerably lower with the mixture according to the invention, so that in most cases good decolouring results are achieved after less than one hour. These and other advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following examples.

Das Tensid hat die CAS-Nr.: 69011-36-5 und wurde bezogen von Sasol, Paul-Baumann-Str. 1, 45764 Marl.The surfactant has CAS No .: 69011-36-5 and was obtained from Sasol, Paul-Baumann-Str. 1, 45764 Marl.

Bei einer Entfärbung bei einer Temperatur von 60°C mit einem üblichen Koch-/Buntwäscheprogramm über ca. 120 Minuten wurden dabei mit sämtlichen Mischungen 1 bis 7 gute bis sehr gute Entfärberleistungen festgestellt, wobei besonders gute Entfärbeleistungen mit den Mischungen 3, 5 und 7 erhalten worden sind.In a decolorization at a temperature of 60 ° C with a conventional cooking / Bunwäscheprogramm over about 120 minutes were found with all mixtures 1 to 7 good to very good Entfärberleistungen, with particularly good Entfärbeleistungen obtained with the mixtures 3, 5 and 7 have been.

Sämtliche Mischungen 1 bis 7 zeichnen sich durch eine besonders gute Entfärbeleistung bei der "Sofortzugabe" direkt zu Beginn des Entfärbevorgangs in der Waschmaschine aus. Ferner zeichnen sie sich dadurch aus, dass die Bildung blauer Sprenkel vermieden wird, bei den Mischungen 3, 5 und 7 sogar so gut wie vollständig. Der pH-Wert sämtlicher Mischungen 1 bis 7 nach Entfärbung lag in einem Bereich zwischen 5 und 6, wohingegen der pH-Wert zu Beginn der Flotte des Entfärbevorgangs etwa 7,5 - 8 betrug, mit Ausnahme der Mischungen 1 und 2, bei welchen der pH-Wert zu Beginn des Entfärbevorgangs in der Flotte etwa 6 - 6,5 betrug. Durch die leicht saure Flotte nach Entfärbung kann dabei sowohl die Entfärbeleitung, als auch der synergetische Effekt bei Zusatz von Blaupunktsuppressoren überraschenderweise weiter gesteigert werden.All mixtures 1 to 7 are characterized by a particularly good Entfärbeleistung in the "immediate addition" directly at the beginning of the Entfärbevorgangs in the washing machine. Furthermore, they are characterized by the fact that the formation of blue speckles avoided is even as good as complete in the mixtures 3, 5 and 7. The pH of all mixtures 1 to 7 after decolorization ranged from 5 to 6, whereas the pH at the beginning of the decolorizing liquor was about 7.5 to 8, with the exception of mixtures 1 and 2, in which pH at the beginning of the decolorizing process in the liquor was about 6-6.5. Due to the slightly acidic liquor after decolorization, both the decolorization line and the synergistic effect with the addition of blue spot suppressants can surprisingly be further increased.
