Definitions
- the present invention relates to washing, cleaning or rinsing agent portions which are contained in dimensionally stable hollow bodies with at least one compartment.
- the invention also relates to processes for the preparation of such washing, cleaning or detergent portions containing compartment hollow body.
- the invention further relates to washing, cleaning and rinsing processes in which the detergent, cleaning agent and dishwashing detergent preparations are dosed in dimensionally stable hollow bodies with one or more separate compartments.
- the earlier patent application DE 198 31 703 discloses a portioned detergent or cleaner composition in a bag of water-soluble film, in particular in a bag of (optionally acetalized) polyvinyl alcohol (PVAL), wherein at least 70 wt .-% of the particles of the washing or detergent preparation particle sizes> 800 microns have.
- PVAL polyvinyl alcohol
- Such bags or “pouches” are indeed very consumer friendly and facilitated the dosing, but are not in all cases the most suitable form for dosing detergent.
- Detergent and rinse aid preparations especially when solid and liquid washing, cleaning or rinse-active preparations are to be dosed side by side.
- such pouches do not permit the incorporation of detergent, cleaning agent or rinsing agent preparations into the detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portion in unstable or readily volatile phases.
- the document DE-A 20 65 153 describes multi-component surfactant moldings consisting of an outer shell of sodium silicate and detergent components enclosed therein.
- the silicate shell is made by compression molding into two hemispheres which, after filling the amount of detergent components sufficient for a wash, are combined and bonded to form the molded article. The process is extremely impractical and does not result in useful detergent portions.
- the document DE-A 20 07 413 describes detergent moldings of a core of one or more detergent component (s) and a shell of press-formed, predominantly of sodium metal silicate existing shell material.
- the compression of the shell material into half shells and the filling and welding of the half shells to the finished blank require a complex technology, and many of the blanks break before they go into the washing process.
- the documents DE-A 198 34 181, DE-A 198 34 180 and DE-A 198 34 172 describe detergent, dishwashing or cleaning / decalcifying agent preparations of a tablet made by compression molding, consisting of two equal halves from one or more detergent, rinsing agent or cleaning agent components and an optionally provided with an additional coating core of another detergent, detergent or detergent component.
- the preparation can be made in this case only in a complicated, multi-step process, only a solid core can be incorporated into the tablet wrap, if not premature release of the tablet should be initiated from the inside.

- the term "detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portion” is understood as meaning a quantity of a detergent, cleaning agent or rinsing agent which is sufficient for a washing, cleaning or rinsing process taking place in an aqueous phase.
- This can be, for example, a machine washing, cleaning or rinsing process, as is carried out with commercially available washing machines or dishwashers.
- this term is also understood to mean a hand washing cycle (performed, for example, in a hand basin or in a bowl) or a dishwashing process carried out by hand or another process of washing or cleaning.
- the preferred Detergent, detergent or detergent portions used in automatic washing, cleaning or rinsing operations.
- detergent or cleaning agent or detergent partial portion is understood to mean a partial amount of a detergent or cleaning agent or detergent portion which is in a phase separate from other detergent or cleaning agent or detergent portions is in spatial communication with other detergent or detergent or detergent part portions of the same detergent or detergent or detergent portion, for example, in a separate compartment in a dimensionally stable hollow body according to the invention, and which is prepared by suitable measures so that they separated from other detergent or detergent or detergent part portions of the same detergent or detergent or detergent portion into the liquor and optionally dissolved or suspended in it.
- a detergent or detergent or detergent partial portion may contain the same ingredients as another detergent or detergent or detergent portion of the same detergent or detergent or detergent portion;
- two detergent or cleaning agent or detergent partial portions of the same detergent or cleaning agent or detergent portion preferably contain different ingredients, in particular different detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparations.
- the detergent or cleaning agent or detergent portions contain measured amounts of at least one washing-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation, usually measured amounts of several washing-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparations. It is possible that the portions contain only detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparations of a particular composition. According to the invention, however, it is preferred that several, usually at least two, washing active, cleaning active or rinse active preparations of different composition in the detergent or detergent or detergent portions are included.
- the composition may be (qualitatively) different with regard to the concentration of the individual components of the washing-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation (quantitatively) and / or with regard to the nature of the individual components of the washing-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation. It is particularly preferred that the components are adapted in terms of nature and concentration to the tasks that have to meet the detergent or detergent or detergent partial portions in the washing, cleaning or rinsing.
- washing-active or cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation is understood to mean all conceivable substances of relevance in connection with a washing or cleaning or rinsing process. These are primarily the actual detergents or detergents or dishwashing detergents with their individual components explained in the further course of the description. These include active ingredients such as surfactants (anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants), builders (inorganic and organic builders), bleaches (such as peroxy bleach and chlorine bleach), bleach activators, bleach stabilizers, bleach catalysts, enzymes, specialty polymers (for example, those with cobuilder properties), grayness inhibitors, dyes and fragrances (perfumes), without the term being limited to these substance groups.
- active ingredients such as surfactants (anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants), builders (inorganic and organic builders), bleaches (such as peroxy bleach and chlorine bleach), bleach activators, bleach stabilizers, bleach catalysts, enzymes, specialty polymers (for example, those with co
- washing-active or cleaning-active or rinse-active preparations is also understood to mean washing auxiliaries and cleaning auxiliaries or rinse aids.
- these are optical brighteners, UV protectants, so-called Soil Repellents, ie polymers which counteract re-soiling of fibers or hard surfaces (including dishes), as well as silver protectants, colorants and decolorizing agents.
- Laundry-treating agents such as fabric softener or dishwashing detergent additives such as rinse aid are also considered according to the invention as detergent-active or as detergent-active or as dishwashing active preparations.
- the detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portions are contained in a hollow body having a plurality of chambers.
- the exact shape of the hollow body is just as critical in this context as its size; The only requirement in this regard is that shape and size are in accordance with the later use, ie use in a washing, cleaning or rinsing process, in particular in conventional washing machines or dishwashers.
- Conceivable hollow bodies in spherical, ellipsoidal, cubic, cuboid, trapezoidal, conical or pyramid or Trochoidform; cuboidal or trochoidal hollow body have inventively well proven and can therefore be used with advantage.

- Particularly preferred embodiments of the inventive detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portions do not exceed a length (longest axis) of 10 cm, while the sizes of the width and the height are significantly lower, for example 1 to 5 cm.
- dimensionally stable hollow body is understood according to the invention as meaning that the moldings containing the detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portions have an intrinsic dimensional stability which enables them, under customary conditions of preparation, storage, transport and handling To provide the consumer with a structure which is stable against breakage and / or pressure and does not coincide, and which does not change over a longer period even under the conditions mentioned. According to the invention, it does not influence whether this structural stability results from the properties of the dimensionally stable hollow body resulting from various parameters mentioned below alone or from the presence of compartmentalizing devices. In preferred embodiments of the invention, even the dimensionally stable hollow body itself have a sufficient intrinsic dimensional stability, since this has an advantageous effect on the mobility in machines in the manufacture of the hollow body and the filling during the preparation of detergent, detergent or detergent portions of the invention ,
- the pressure resistance of the dimensionally stable hollow body according to the invention is measured in the (per se conventional) way so that unfilled and possibly provided with compartmentalization devices hollow body with films or lids are closed and applied to this hollow body at room temperature an internally applied, steadily increasing vacuum is until the hollow body begins to collapse.
- the intrinsic dimensional stability of the hollow bodies should be particularly preferably such that in such vacuum collapse tests unfilled and optionally provided with Kompartiment michs wornen hollow body collapse does not begin before reaching a vacuum of 900 mbar, preferably from 750 mbar and in particular from 500 mbar ,
- the hollow bodies used according to the invention fundamentally differ from films or so-called "pouches", as they are also used to provide detergents, cleaning agents or rinsing agents.
- the dimensionally stable hollow bodies according to the invention also differ from (subsequently applied to moldings) coatings:
- the hollow bodies according to the invention represent an independent, self-supporting coating, which as a rule already prior to filling with one or more wash-active, rinse-active or cleaning-active components (n) exists and is then filled.
- coatings are applied to existing moldings (eg, compacts, granules, extrudates, etc.) and then dried or cured; they form only then an envelope surrounding the molding.
- the walls of the hollow bodies used according to the invention continue to form a good diffusion barrier in the same way as the devices for compartmentalization which are to be explained in detail below, in particular for substances which are detrimentally active in washing, detergent or dishwashing active preparations, in particular gaseous substances and especially water vapor.
- a diffusion of water vapor should be at most in an amount of 350 g / (m 2. 24 h), preferably to be possible, more preferably only in an amount in the range of a maximum of 100 g /, even more preferably in (m 2 ⁇ 24 h) Amount of a maximum of 50 g / (m 2 .24 h).
- Embodiments of the detergent, cleaning agent or rinsing agent portions in the dimensionally stable hollow bodies which are particularly preferred according to the invention also take account of the fact that the portions contained in the hollow bodies are of particular advantage-though not mandatory-at a certain point in time-preferably controllable-water solubility of the hollow body material the washing, cleaning or rinsing process or on reaching a certain pH or a certain ionic strength of the wash liquor or due to other controllable events or conditions in the aqueous liquor can be fed.
- the quality of the material as well as its quantity / strength directly influence these solubility properties.
- materials for the hollow bodies which-based on a certain wall thickness, which determines the stability-dissolve at certain temperatures, pH values, ionic strengths, or after a certain residence time in the aqueous liquor.
- a release process can capture the hollow body as a whole or only a part thereof, so that parts of the hollow body solve when setting a certain parameter combination, while other parts are not yet (but later) or not at all.
- the latter can be achieved by different quality of the material as well as by different amounts of material (thickness of the wall) or different geometries of the hollow body. For example, it is possible to impede the access of water by the hollow body geometry and thus delay the dissolution process.
- the walls of the hollow body can be made of materials of different water solubility, for example of polyvinyl alcohols (PVAL) with different residual acetate content. This leads to the formation of perforated walls, which allow water to penetrate into the hollow body and / or escape of the dissolved or undissolved ingredients from the hollow body.
- PVAL polyvinyl alcohols
- the materials of the walls of the dimensionally stable hollow body consist of a washing-active, cleaning-active or flushing active substance, for which PVAL is an example as a builder, or contain such.
- washing active, cleaning active or active ingredients that are only present in small amounts in the preparations and their uniform incorporation is therefore not unproblematic, in the material of the wall of the hollow body or in a part of the material of the wall of the hollow body, for example one which dissolves at the stage of the washing, cleaning or rinsing, in which the active ingredient is just needed, incorporated and released when dissolving the material of the wall at the right time in the fleet.

- optical brighteners UV protectants
- dyes dyes and other detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparations.
- the walls of the dimensionally stable hollow body containing the detergent, detergent or detergent portions consist of different materials, so have a heterogeneous structure.
- a polymer material forming the wall of the hollow body islands could be dispersed from a foreign material insoluble in the polymer, for example from another polymer (having different water solubility) or even from a completely different substance (for example, an inorganic or organic substance).
- water-soluble salts such as sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, organic acids such as citric acid, tartaric acid, adipic acid, phthalic acid; Sugars such as maltoses, dextrose, sorbitol, etc .; zeolites; silicates; crosslinked, for example weakly crosslinked polymers such as polyacrylates, cellulose esters, cellulose ethers such as carboxymethylcellulose.
- Such a structure may be associated in particularly preferred embodiments of the invention with the advantage that the other substance dissolves faster in water than the polymer, which allows penetration of water into the hollow body and thereby accelerated release of washing active, flushing or cleaning active components of the Portion contributes.
- the entire dimensionally stable hollow body is dissolved faster in such a packaging than a molded body made of a pure polymer material.
- the walls of the hollow bodies can be made up of layers of two or more polymers form, which can be selected in particularly preferred embodiments so that they complement each other optimally in terms of their properties (stability, heat resistance, water solubility, gas barrier properties, etc.).

- the size and shape of the individual compartments within a dimensionally stable hollow body is not critical and can be largely tailored to the needs of the individual case.
- larger compartments may be provided for certain washing-active, cleansing-active or rinse-active preparations or mixtures thereof which are present in a larger amount than for preparations which are present only in small quantities.
- mixtures of certain preparations which are provided at the beginning of the washing, cleaning or rinsing process and present in specific amounts, can be spatially separated from other components or components required in other quantities and arranged in compartments of a different size become.
- a detergent, detergent or detergent portion contained in a dimensionally stable hollow body with a plurality of compartments two or more compartments comprising one or more detergent-active, detergent-active or rinse-active preparation (s) are enclosed by the hollow body, which are arranged enclosing each other.
- the compartments with the detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation (s) are thus not arranged next to one another or above or below one another in the hollow body, but enclosing one another, for example more or less concentrically ("onion model") or more or less coaxially (“ Multi-layered rod model ”) or in such a way that the innermost compartment is completely surrounded by the next outer, possibly completely again from the following, etc.
- the washing-active, cleaning-active or rinsing-active substances can be distributed over the compartments, that the components required first in the washing, cleaning or rinsing process are contained in the outermost compartment which is first exposed to water or liquor while (later) required component (s) in (a) further inside compartment (s) is / are and / or are protected against the ingress of water by the more external compartments / are.

- the enclosing surrounding the at least one detergent-active, rinse-active or cleaning-active preparation consists of a non-compressed material which gives dimensional stability to the hollow body.
- non-pressed material is understood to mean a material which is not produced by compressing (for example) washing-active, rinsing-active or cleaning-active components or preparations to give a pressed body, as in the prior art, into which other washing-active, flushing or cleaning active components or preparations are embedded, but by injection molding
- the above information on the materials of dimensionally stable hollow bodies apply accordingly.
- the compartmentalizing devices within the dimensionally stable hollow bodies are made of the same materials as the hollow bodies themselves. This allows the one-piece production in one process step and makes the production process particularly economical.
- the compartmentation device (s) is one (or more) an activity reduction of at least one component of a detergent-active, detergent-active or rinse-active preparation inhibiting device (s). Examples of these are all the cases in which components of washing-active, cleaning-active or dishwashing preparations are spatially separated from one another, taking into account a mutual impairment of their activity.
- the compartmentalizing devices should then have properties that meet these requirements, for example, be substantially impervious to water vapor to keep bleach free of moisture, or should be acid or alkali free to protect enzymes from premature decomposition.
- the compartmentation device (s) is / are a device (s) that determines the quality and / or quantity of the release of components of a detergent-active, detergent-active, or rinse-active preparation.
- either components of the washing-active, cleaning-active or rinsing-active preparations can advantageously be dispensed into the liquor at different times of the washing, cleaning or rinsing process (qualitative control), or different amounts of certain (qualitatively identical) preparations can be put into the fleet (quantitative control).
- a dimensionally stable hollow body for example, several compartments whose walls have a different solubility (or temperature of dissolution) in water or in the liquor.
- the compartments contain (washing, cleaning, rinsing) active components for the first, second and possibly further (washing, cleaning, rinsing) courses, which have different compositions, and these at different times or at different temperatures the washing, cleaning or rinsing free.
- the dimensionally stable hollow bodies can have walls and compartmentalizing devices, for example only, in which materials are incorporated which detach at different temperatures or under different other boundary conditions.
- small holes form in the compartment walls first, which allow only a weak mass transfer between individual compartments and the outside environment and thus deliver only small amounts of a washing-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation into the liquor; under others, later settable Conditions, the holes or pores are enlarged because in other conditions soluble wall components dissolve; Larger holes allow larger amounts of substance to be exchanged between the interior of the compartment (s) and the outside environment (ie, the liquor) and thus adjust the desired higher concentrations of the detergent-active, cleaning-active, or rinse-active preparation in the liquor.
- the compartmentalizing device (s) is / are the activity of at least one component of a detergent-active, detergent-active or rinse-active preparation-controlling device (s).

- a particular example is a so-called "controlled release" release, which can be controlled according to the parameters given above on the properties of the wall of the dimensionally stable hollow body and / or the Kompartiment michss drivenen. In this way, a destructive effect of the liquor or alone of the water on the active substance can be reduced and the substance can be actively released into the liquor for a longer time.
- one or more compartmentalizing device (s) contain a part or the total amount of at least one component of at least one detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation.
- This can be achieved with particular advantage by incorporating one or more component (s) of at least one detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation into the material of the compartmenting device. Examples of such substances have been mentioned above in connection with the stable void forming material (s) and include (but are not limited to) components contained in relatively small amounts in the detergent, detergent or rinse portions Therefore, it is relatively difficult to incorporate into large mass mixtures of washing-active, cleaning-active or dishwashing preparations.
- a further, likewise preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that one or more compartmentalizing device (s) consists in part or in total of at least one component of at least one washing-active, cleaning-active or rinsing-active preparation.
- the compartmenting device is thus not only a component of the detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portion influencing the kinetics of the release, but at the same time also a component of the success of the washing process. , Cleaning or rinsing process is involved. Due to the wide variety of available materials, there are numerous examples for this embodiment; particularly preferred are compartmentalizing devices consisting of or comprising (meth) acrylic acid and its derivatives (salts, esters) comprising polymers.
- a further preferred embodiment of the invention consists in a detergent, detergent or rinsing agent portion contained in one or more dimensionally stable hollow body (s) with a plurality of chambers, in which the dimensionally stable hollow body consists of a non-spherical hollow body having n surfaces, of which an area assumes the function of a "lid", which is the conclusion of a process for producing the detergent, detergent or detergent portions according to the invention, ie after filling the / the compartments (s) in the interior of the hollow body with one or more washing-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparation (s) is applied while closing the hollow body.
- the "lid” particularly preferably consists of a material with controllable water solubility and can be bonded to the remaining hollow body by bonding, for example with a water-soluble adhesive, fusing, welding or another known method of joining materials.
- This embodiment is particularly advantageous for producing the detergent, cleaning agent or detergent portions according to the invention, since a stepwise filling of the compartment (s) with one or more detergent-active, cleaning-active or rinse-active preparations is possible and the handling during subsequent use leads to optimum results leads, in particular to a reliable control of the access of water or aqueous liquor to the interior of the dimensionally stable hollow body or the outlet of washing active, cleaning active or rinse-active preparation from the interior of the hollow body.
