Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of surfactant granules containing nonionic surfactants, in which the solid and optionally liquid constituents are granulated in the presence of a mixture of nonionic surfactant and a nonaqueous solvent.
  • Compacted or highly concentrated detergent powders or tablets represent a significant proportion of the commercially available detergents and cleaning agents. These agents are generally not obtained by a spray drying process, but rather by mixing, granulating and compacting processes in which high temperatures are avoided. Because of the relatively low temperatures, the removal of water which is introduced by the starting substances is relatively lengthy. A subsequent drying step is often necessary after the granulation has been completed.
  • Another problem is the deterioration in the solubility of the relatively highly compacted particles.
  • recipes with a high proportion of alkoxylated fatty alcohols often have this problem.
  • An improvement in solubility can be achieved if alkyl polyglycosides are incorporated into the granules.
  • the incorporation of the alkyl polyglycosides is problematic, however, since they cannot be processed by spray drying processes and the resulting particles have a high level of stickiness.
  • the granulating liquid and solid components are mixed in a granulator and the polymer is added in admixture with a non-aqueous diluent during the granulation step.
  • An ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is preferably used as the non-aqueous diluent.
  • WO 97/02338 discloses a process for the production of particulate surfactant compositions with a bulk density below 700 g / l.
  • a particulate starting material which has at least 10% by weight of a component with a bulk density of not more than 600 g / l and which is not a surfactant compound is first mixed with a liquid binder in a granulator and then granulated.
  • the particulate starting material contains a builder, surfactant or a precursor thereof is contained in the particulate starting material and / or in the binder.
  • European patent application 0 799 884 describes a process for producing free-flowing particulate surfactant compositions
  • a Mixture made from an aqueous alkyl polyglycoside paste, an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and a solid water-soluble inorganic salt The mixture obtained separates into an organic phase and a water-rich phase, the organic phase containing alkyl polyglycoside, ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and water being separated off.
  • the proportion of the individual components in the first step is selected so that in the organic phase the ratio of alkyl polyglycoside to ethoxylated nonionic surfactant within the range from 35:65 to 65:35 and the ratio of ethoxylated nonionic surfactant to the total amount of water within the range from 90: 10 to 60: 10 lies.
  • the mixture obtained and optionally further surfactants are mixed with one or more particulate carrier materials and processed to a particulate product in a conventional high-speed mixer or granulator.
  • Another disadvantage is that the products obtained have a broad particle size distribution.
  • the granules produced into products with a larger particle size, detergent tablets, uniform products are only obtained if the starting components used have only a slight variance in their properties.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide a process for the production of surfactant granules which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • a method should be found that leads to granules with a good and constant solubility and a narrow particle spectrum.
  • granules should be obtained which show such a flowability that no further drying step is required.
  • the present application accordingly relates to a process for the preparation of surfactant granules containing nonionic surfactants and other detergent components, in which the solid and optionally liquid components are granulated in the presence of a mixture of nonionic surfactant and a non-aqueous solvent, which is characterized in that the non-aqueous solvent is polyalkylene glycol liquid at 80 ° C.

  • the dissolution delay compared to conventional amorphous sodium silicates can be done in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding,

This means that the silicates in X-ray diffraction experiments do not provide sharp X-ray reflections, as are typical for crystalline substances, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-rays, which have a width of several degree units of the diffraction angle. However, it can very well lead to particularly good builder properties if the silicate particles deliver washed-out or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction experiments. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline areas of size 10 to a few hundred nm, values up to max.

  • the granules obtained were then sieved between 0.6 and 1.6 mm.
  • the proportion of the granules which has a particle size between 0.6 and 1.6 mm is referred to as good grain in Table 3.

Abstract

Procédé de préparation de granulat de tensio-actifs contenant des tensio-actifs non ioniques et d'autres constituants de détergent, selon lequel les constituants solides et éventuellement liquides sont granulés en présence d'un mélange de tensio-actif non ionique et d'un solvant non aqueux. Ledit procédé est caractérisé en ce que le solvant non aqueux est du polyalkylèneglycol liquide à 80 °C. On obtient ainsi un granulat à spectre étroit des particules et ayant une bonne solubilité.
