Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a novel aqueous bleaching agent and bactericide composition (bleaching bactericide composition) containing hypochlorite, ether carboxylate and hydroxide in a predetermined weight ratio.
Regarding

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hitherto, bleaching compositions based on alkali metal hypochlorous hydrochloric acid have a remarkably high viscosity, so that they are treated both on horizontal surfaces and on slopes, especially vertical surfaces. It has been successfully used in the fields of hygiene and sterilization and in the field of textile processing. The effect of the high viscosities of these compositions is that the contact time between the composition and the surface to be treated is significantly longer compared to commercial liquid products which run off the surface immediately.

Various publications on such viscous bleaching fungicide compositions are known from the literature. Some patents in this regard are listed below as examples.

For example, EP 0274885 A (ICI) recommends the use of mixtures of linear and branched amine oxides. EP 0340371 A1 (Henkel lberica) discloses a bleach composition based on an aqueous hypochlorite solution, which composition comprises mainly alkyl ether sulphate as a surfactant component and, in addition, a small amount of Contains an amine oxide. In DE 4333100 C1, the Applicant discloses an aqueous bleaching detergent composition based on hypochlorite, fatty alcohol ether sulphates and amine oxides, which shows stable and sufficient viscosity. Contains, as an essential component, an amine oxide phosphonic acid that contributes significantly to thickening the composition. EP
0812908 A is a surfactant compatible with alkali metal hypochlorite, a hypochlorite such as an alkyl ether carbochelate, and an alkoxylated nonionic interface with end caps to reduce foaming. A cleaning composition containing an active agent is disclosed. NL 9401510 discloses a highly viscous aqueous bleach composition, the composition comprising:
Containing an alkali metal hypochlorite, a surfactant mixture (alkyl ether carboxylic acid or its salt, fatty acid or its salt and alkyl ether sulfate and / or alkyl sulfobetaine), and an alkali metal hydroxide, The alkyl ether carboxylic acid or salt thereof constitutes about 75% by weight of the surfactant composition.

In practice, the viscosities of the hypochlorite solutions disclosed in the literature are often too high for cleaning hard surfaces (viscosity ≧ 130 mPas, using a Brookfield viscometer, spindle at 20 ° C.). Measured at 1 and 60 rpm). In addition, excessive foaming (air bubble height ≧ 10
0 mL, measured at 20 ° C by the Rossmile test) is often considered a problem. There is also a need for a bleach fungicide composition that is less expensive than previously known products.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel water-containing bleaching disinfectant composition having a lower foaming property and a lower viscosity than known compositions. Is to provide.
