Of these, the sulfonated derivatives of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid polymers are particularly preferred.

However, preference is given to using mixtures of different fragrances which together produce an appealing fragrance.
  • perfume oils can also contain natural fragrance mixtures as are available from plant sources, e.g. Pine, citrus, jasmine, patchouly, rose or ylang-ylang oil. Also suitable are muscatel, sage oil, chamomile oil, clove oil, lemon balm oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil and labdanum oil as well as orange blossom oil, neroliol, orange peel oil and sandalwood oil.
  • the colorant content of the detergent tablets according to the invention is usually less than 0.01% by weight, while fragrances can make up up to 2% by weight of the entire formulation.
  • the fragrances can be incorporated directly into the agents according to the invention, but it can also be advantageous to apply the fragrances to carriers which increase the adhesion of the perfume to the laundry and ensure a long-lasting fragrance of the textiles by slower fragrance release.
  • Cyclodextrins for example, have proven useful as such carrier materials, and the cyclodextrin-perfume complexes can additionally be coated with further auxiliaries.
  • the agents according to the invention can be colored with suitable dyes.
  • Preferred dyes the selection of which is not difficult for the person skilled in the art, have a high storage stability and insensitivity to the other ingredients of the compositions and to light, and no pronounced substantivity to textile fibers, in order not to dye them.
  • wash-active molded bodies is done by applying pressure to a mixture to be ve ⁇ ress, which is located in the cavity of a press.
  • a mixture to be tabletted is pressed directly, ie without prior granulation.
  • the advantages of this so-called direct tableting are its simple and inexpensive application, since no further process steps and consequently no further plants are required.
  • these advantages are offset by disadvantages.
  • a powder mixture that is to be tabletted directly must have sufficient plastic deformability and have good flow properties; furthermore, it must not show any tendency to segregate during storage, transport and filling of the die.
  • detergent tablets are extremely difficult to master with many substance mixtures, so that direct tableting is not often used, particularly in the production of detergent tablets.
  • the usual way of producing detergent tablets is therefore based on powdery components (“primary particles”) which are agglomerated or granulated by suitable processes to form secondary particles with a larger particle diameter. These granules or mixtures of different granules are then mixed with individual powdery additives and fed to the tableting.
  • Another object of the present invention is therefore a method for producing detergent tablets with a surfactant content of more than 10 wt .-%, based on the molded article, in which a particulate premix with a surfactant content of more than 10 wt .-%, based on the premix is pressed in a press, the pressing tools of which have a rectangular base.
  • Detergent tablets are usually first produced by dry mixing the components, which can be wholly or partially pre-granulated, and then providing information, in particular feeding them to tablets, whereby conventional methods can be used.
  • the premix is compacted in a so-called die between two stamps to form a solid compact. This process, which is briefly referred to as tableting in the following, is divided into four sections: metering, compression (elastic deformation), plastic deformation and ejection.
  • the premix is introduced into the die, the filling quantity and thus the weight and the shape of the molded body being formed being determined by the position of the lower punch and the shape of the pressing tool.
  • the constant dosing, even at high mold throughputs, is preferably achieved by volumetric dosing of the premix.
  • the upper punch touches the premix and lowers further in the direction of the lower punch.
  • the particles of the premix are pressed closer together, the void volume within the filling between the punches continuously decreasing. From a certain position of the upper punch (and thus from a certain pressure on the premix), the plastic deformation begins, in which the particles flow together and the molded body is formed.
  • the premix particles are also crushed and sintering of the premix occurs at even higher pressures.
  • the phase of elastic deformation is shortened further and further, so that the resulting shaped bodies can have more or less large cavities.
  • the finished molded body is pressed out of the die by the lower punch and through subsequent transport devices transported away. At this point in time, only the weight of the molded body is finally determined, since the compacts can still change their shape and size due to physical processes (stretching, crystallographic effects, cooling, etc.).
  • Tableting takes place in commercially available tablet presses, which can in principle be equipped with single or double punches. In the latter case, not only is the upper stamp used to build up pressure, the lower stamp also moves towards the upper stamp during the pressing process, while the upper stamp presses down.
  • eccentric tablet presses are preferably used, in which the punch or stamps are fastened to an eccentric disc, which in turn is mounted on an axis with a certain rotational speed. The movement of these rams is comparable to that of a conventional four-stroke engine.
  • the pressing can take place with one upper and one lower punch, but several punches can also be attached to one eccentric disk, the number of die holes being increased accordingly.
  • the throughputs of eccentric presses vary depending on the type from a few hundred to a maximum of 3000 tablets per hour.
  • rotary tablet presses are selected in which a larger number of dies is arranged in a circle on a so-called die table.
  • the number of matrices varies between 6 and 55 depending on the model, although larger matrices are also commercially available.
  • Each die on the die table is assigned an upper and lower punch, and again the pressure can be built up actively only by the upper or lower punch, but also by both stamps.
  • the die table and the stamps move about a common vertical axis, the stamps being brought into the positions for filling, compaction, plastic deformation and ejection by means of rail-like cam tracks during the rotation.
  • these cam tracks are supported by additional low-pressure pieces, low-tension rails and lifting tracks.
  • the die is filled via a rigidly arranged feed device, the so-called filling shoe, which is connected to a storage container for the premix.
  • the press pressure on the premix can be individually adjusted via the press paths for the upper and lower punches, the pressure being built up by rolling the punch shaft heads past adjustable pressure rollers.
  • Rotary presses can also be provided with two filling shoes to increase the throughput, with only a semicircle having to be run through to produce a tablet.
  • several filling shoes are arranged one behind the other without the slightly pressed first layer being ejected before further filling.
  • jacket and dot tablets can also be produced in this way, which have an onion-shell-like structure, the top side of the core or the core layers not being covered in the case of the dot tablets and thus remaining visible.
  • Rotary tablet presses can also be equipped with single or multiple tools, so that, for example, an outer circle with 50 and an inner circle with 35 holes can be used simultaneously for pressing.
  • the throughputs of modern rotary tablet presses are over one million molded articles per hour.
  • Tableting machines suitable within the scope of the present invention are available, for example, from the companies Apparatebau Holzwarth GbR, Asperg, Wilhelm Fette GmbH, Schwarzenbek, Hofer GmbH, Weil, KILIAN, Cologne, KOMAGE, Kell am See, KORSCH Pressen GmbH, Berlin, Mapag Maschinenbau AG, Bern (CH) and Courtoy NV, Halle (BE / LU).
  • the hydraulic double pressure press HPF 630 from LAEIS, D. is particularly suitable.
  • the pressing tools have a rectangular base area. Since the pressing tools are positively immersed in the die or limit it if they are not moved, the die hole of the tablet press in the method according to the invention also has a rectangular cross section (horizontal section). If changes are made to the base surface of a pressing tool, these are to be carried out analogously both on the die and on the opposite pressing tool. In the method according to the invention, too, the configurations of the pressing tool and die referred to above as preferred which apply to the advantageous forms of detergent tablets.
  • the base area of the pressing tools corresponds to that of a rectangle with rounded edges, the radius of the round corner being 0.1 to 0.3 times, preferably 0.15 to 0.28 times and in particular 0.2 to 0.25 times the length of the shorter side of the rectangle, press tools being preferred in which the ratio of length to width of the press surface is in the range from 5: 1 to 1: 1, preferably in the range from 4: 1 to 1.05: 1 and in particular from 2: 1 to 1.1: 1.
  • the present invention therefore furthermore relates to the use of detergent tablets with surfactant contents above 10% by weight for cleaning textiles in a washing machine.
  • the present invention allows the production and safe packaging of detergent tablets; which are characterized by short disintegration times.
  • Shatter-resistant molded bodies can be obtained here by lower compression pressures, as can only be achieved with round detergent tablets by higher compression pressures. Due to the reduced pressure, the disintegration times can be reduced to such an extent that the detergent tablets can be dosed easily and without residues via the dispenser.
  • a preferred embodiment is therefore the use, which is characterized in that the detergent tablets are dosed via the dispenser of a household washing machine.
  • Granulation in a 50-liter ploughshare mixer from Lödige produced granules containing tensides (for composition, see Table 1), which was used as the basis for a particulate premix. Following the granulation, the granules were dried in a fluidized bed apparatus from Glatt at a supply air temperature of 60 ° C. over a period of 30 minutes. After drying, fine particles ⁇ 0.4 mm and coarse particles> 1.6 mm were screened off.
  • a premix was produced by mixing the surfactant-containing granules with bleach, bleach activator and other preparation components, after which the premixes were compressed into tablets in a Korsch eccentric press (see below).
  • the composition of the premixes to be pressed (and thus the shaped body) is shown in Table 2.
  • the molded bodies E according to the invention were pressed in the form of a rectangle with rounded corners (length: 38 mm, width: 34 mm, radius in the corners: 8 mm), the molded bodies of comparative example V were circular (diameter: 44 mm). Both molded body series were shown the same weight (37.5 g), the molded body V having a height of 22 mm and the molded body E having a height of 26 mm.
  • Table 3 clearly shows that the detergent tablets according to the invention have shorter disintegration times with the same tablet hardness. That disintegrate better despite the same mechanical strength. This is due to the fact that a lower compression pressure is sufficient in the molded bodies according to the invention in order to achieve the same mechanical stability as in the molded bodies of comparative example V.
