Description

The invention relates to a composition for equipment of textiles to reduce creasing during and after cleaning and for creasing the textiles.

Textile fabrics, for example made from rayon, rayon, cotton and their blends with synthetic fibers tend to wrinkle or wrinkle because the individual fibers against permanent bending, kinking, pressing and squeezing across Grain direction - like This is the case, for example, during the washing process or when you wear it frequently the case of clothes is - delicate are.

So far, compositions for equipment of textiles - too referred to as textile auxiliaries - known for textile care, for example after cleaning, i.e. finished goods maintenance. This so-called crease resistant finish promises a non-iron To allow use (wearing) of the textiles after their cleaning. Such are in fabric softeners included, such as in the Lenor “Lenor easy ironing ", which corresponds to the fabric softener cycle Washing machine will be included. So-called "ironing aids" are also available on the market, which after cleaning the laundry on the textile - through direct spraying on the laundry or added to the ironing water become. However, these known products show only a small amount Measure the desired Effect to get a crease-free or wrinkle-free laundry.

The composition of such crease resistant equipment are mainly on a synthetic basis, but what about environmental compatibility and biodegradability is questionable. It also turns out synthetic substances often have the problem that when using such equipment for garments allergic reactions at the clothes rack can be caused and the crease resistant equipment therefore for numerous textiles is unsuitable.

It is therefore an object of the invention a composition of such textile equipment is available which have a high effect in terms of crease resistance or non-ironing of textiles and mainly made from natural fabrics is.

According to the invention, the term “cleaning” refers to all processes that to clean up Textiles commonly carried out such as washing textiles in the washing machine, hand washing or but also just rinsing the laundry or dry cleaning.

Furthermore, within the scope of the present invention the term "crease recovery" understood in such a way that creases or creases from dry or moist, not necessarily cleaned, textiles are almost completely removed.

For the sake of completeness, it should also be noted that hereinafter referred to a variety of textiles becomes. It goes without saying present invention also for just one piece Textile applicable.

The above object is achieved according to the invention solved by that the composition is one or more vegetable oils and one or comprises several emulsifiers. These are preferably components diluted with water, preferably a W / O emulsion is present. Advantages of this composition are not just their inexpensive Individual components and the ease of manufacture, but also the good environmental compatibility due to the biodegradability. It is also bacterial harmless, causing no allergic reactions in humans or animal triggered become.

Regarding the interfacial activity of the emulsifiers it is advantageous if the emulsifiers contain one or more surfactants are.

These are preferably from the group the anionic and / or cationic surfactants selected. advantageously, both types of surfactants are used. In this case lie it preferably in a mixing ratio of preferably 50:50 M / M before, because the anionic surfactants reduce the interfacial tension favor and the cationic surfactants are well suited as plasticizers.

Regarding the vegetable oil or oils it is beneficial if there are oils from pulp fats, such as avocado oil, olive oil, palm oil and the like, as well as mixtures thereof.

Likewise, it can be cheap if the vegetable oil (s) from seed and / or kernel fats are, such as, for example, palm kernel oil, rapeseed oil, linseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, coriander oil, castor oil, poppy seed oil, cocoa oil, coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil, wheat germ oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, macadamia nut oil, evening primrose oil, apricot oil, jojoba oil, hazelnut oil, hazelnut oil, and the like as well as mixtures thereof.

It is also possible that the vegetable oil or oils from plant extracts are, such as from aloe vera, wild rose, St. John's wort, Evening primrose, basil, arnica, calendula and the like, as well Mixtures of these.

According to another characteristic of Invention comprises the composition of fatty alcohols. If as emulsifiers the majority of cationic surfactants are present, so fatty alcohols serve which is known to be the building blocks and starting materials of the anionic surfactants are, as an effective supplement. When using a mixture of anionic and cationic surfactants will be additional added fatty alcohols a suitable enrichment.

It is also favorable if the composition comprises quaternary ammonium compounds. So-called esterquats, for example, count as effective substances. Your property as katio Active care agents are particularly advantageous if anionic surfactants are mostly used as emulsifiers for the composition. For example, it is conceivable that an O / W emulsion of fatty alcohols, emulsifiers and quaternary ammonium compounds in water is added to the composition.

In terms of longevity and storage capacity the composition, especially to prevent rancidity and mold growth, it is beneficial if the composition Stabilizers, such as antioxidants. Here, for example Phenols, ascorbic, lactic, citric or tartaric acid and their salts and the like be used.

To discolour the vegetable oils or if necessary other ingredients, such as fragrances / flavors To keep the textiles out, it is advantageous if the composition contains bleach, such as peroxides, perborates and the like. So it is possible undesirable Color reactions and / or coloring to avoid when using the composition, such as with light or white Textiles.

In return, it may also be desirable that Intensify the coloring of the textiles. It is therefore advantageous if dyes are present in the composition. To this The composition can be equipped with a dark dye , for example, to wash out the dark textile color avoid and refresh the textiles with paint.

For a pleasant smell it is favorable if the composition comprises fragrances and / or flavorings. these can be synthetic. For example, some fabric softeners contain fragrance and / or flavorings. So it is conceivable the composition of the equipment a fabric softener shall be included. However, the fragrances and / or flavorings are preferred on a natural basis.

The task of providing a Equipment procedure of textiles to reduce creasing during and after cleaning and for creasing recovery is solved in that the textiles cleaned and / or the finishing with the composition according to the invention is applied to the textiles and the textiles are then dried become. The said composition of the equipment for textiles can be the textile fibers condition in such a way that ironing the textile does not or is practically no longer required. The textiles don't have to necessary to be cleaned to achieve the desired effect, but the equipment can be easily applied to crumpled textiles and be dried. The process is very simple and no costly expenses are required.

It is an advantage if the equipment before Application to the textiles is diluted with water. Preferably lie the vegetable oil or the vegetable oils and the emulsifier (s) in a W / O emulsion.

Spreading on the textiles can by spraying take place, preferably a diluted equipment is used here. there can be the dilution factor can be varied as required.

As an alternative to spraying on the Textiles with the equipment rinsed become. Here the equipment as a concentrate - well undiluted - used are preferred, however, it is diluted.

The following is the invention based on examples explained.

Example 1:

15 ml coconut oil with 15 ml surfactant concentrate from anionic and cationic surfactants (in a ratio from 50:50) emulsified in 1 liter of water. This composition is in the Weichspülfach a Bosch Exclusive washing machine, type Max Komfort WFR 140 A filled and a conventional, Detergent on the market - here Ariel brand (Ariel compact) in powder form - will placed in the detergent compartment of the washing machine. Colored linen with strong creases or creases and a medium degree of pollution is in the Normal wash cycle (40 ° C up to 60 ° C) washed. After the wash or rinse and spin cycle is complete the colored laundry removed from the washing machine. After visual assessment can no noticeably strong ones even when the laundry is wet and damp Wrinkles or creases are observed. In places are weak Wrinkles or folds visible. After the laundry has dried completely almost no creases or folds are visible on the line.

Example 2:

20 ml coconut oil, 25 ml surfactant concentrate from anionic and cationic surfactants (in a ratio of 50:50) and a walnut-sized amount of hair foam, product "Fructis" of the Laboratoire Garnier brand, are emulsified in 1 liter of water. This emulsion is placed in the fabric softener compartment a washing machine of the Miele brand, type Automatic W 751, into the compartment for the normal wash cycle, a conventional detergent on the marrow, in this case F 4 for white laundry (in powder form), is put in. Heavily crumpled and soiled curtains, Bed linen and towels go through the cooking-washing cycle (60 ° to 90 ° C.) After the washing, rinsing and spinning cycle, the textiles are removed from the machine and visually assessed for wrinkles or creases when wet and wet wrinkles or folds only in a few places The textiles are then dried in a Miele machine dryer, type Novotronic T 565 C. When completely dry, the textiles are almost wrinkle-free or wrinkle-free.

Example 3:

30 ml of avocado oil with 50 ml surfactant concentrate from anionic and cationic surfactants (in a relationship from 50:50) emulsified in 1 liter of water. The emulsion comes with a couple Drops of fabric softener the Softlan brand in the fabric softener compartment a Bosch Exclusiv washing machine, type Max Komfort WFR140A, filled. The textiles to be treated, delicates, are cold-washed (30 ° C) with a detergent, in this case liquid soft soap. After washing, rinsing and the spin cycle (gentle wash cycle) delicates the laundry Wrinkles and creases visually assessed. There are almost no creases seen.

Example 4:

40 ml linseed oil with 65 ml surfactant concentrate from anionic and cationic surfactants (in a relationship from 50:50) and a walnut size Amount of hair foam (hair balm) of the brand L'Oreal emulsified in 1 liter of water. This Emulsion is in the rinse water for the Handwash of delicates brought in. The textiles are washed in it by hand. Show it there are almost no creases or wrinkles.

Example 5:

There are 15 ml of oil from aloe vera with 30 ml of surfactant concentrate from anionic and cationic surfactants (in a ratio of 50:50) emulsified in 1 liter of water. The emulsion is applied with a spray container dry, crumpled white and colored clothes, Pants and blouses, jackets made of linen and cotton as well as blended fabrics, - evenly distributed - sprayed on. at optical assessment is clearly recognizable that the crease recovery of textile fibers and the textiles after drying completely the emulsion are almost free of creases or wrinkles.

Regarding the examples, it should also be mentioned that as vegetable oils available on the market so-called base oils from the pharmacy or health food store. These oils can be refined oils, preferred become unrefined oils.

Regarding the quantity information noted that best results with the same mixing ratio between vegetable oil (s) and Emulsifiers could be observed. Good results too with such a varied ratio can be achieved with which oil: emulsifier 1: 2 has been used. In the course of the experiments, it turned out that an oil content of the vegetable oil (s) of 15 ml regarding non-ironing is effective. When using smaller amounts, none so good results can be observed. Furthermore, it was found that an emulsifier content of 15 ml oil of more than 80 ml no Great Delivers results.

With regard to the proportions of the anionic to cationic surfactants it should be noted that in The trials have shown that the ratio of 50:50 also vary can. For example, it is possible a 40:60, 30:70 or 60:40, 70:30 ratio of anionic to cationic surfactants apply.

The results showed that an addition of hair balm, whether in liquid form or in the form of a Foam, a particularly good crease recovery of the textiles. All ratios are M / M.
