Abstract

Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)-based carpet stain removers contain PVP at 1-3 (especially 2) times that of the surfactant component. The PVP is in a solvent such as water, with the ratio PVP : solvent = 1 : 25-75, especially 1 : 50.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Teppich-Fleckentfernungsmittel. Übliche Teppichfleckentfernungsmittel enthalten Tenside in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 10 %. Darüber hinaus auch meist noch Zusätze von gut in Wasser löslichen Lösungsmittel wie Aceton oder niederen Alkoholen.The invention relates to a carpet stain remover. Usual carpet stain removers included Surfactants in an amount of 0.5 to 10%. Furthermore also mostly additions of water-soluble ones Solvents such as acetone or lower alcohols.

Die bekannten Teppichfleckentfernungsmittel sind noch nicht in jeder Hinsicht zufriedenstellend. So wird insbesondere eine Neigung zur Ränderbildung und zur Hinterlassung von gelblichen Rückständen bemängelt. Mitunter sind solchen Fleckentfernungsmitteln auch in zu großem Anteil aggressive Bestandteile zugesetzt, so daß sogar Schädigungen am Teppich auftreten können.The known carpet stain removers are still not satisfactory in every way. So in particular a tendency to edge and leave behind criticized by yellowish residues. Sometimes are such stain removers too large Proportion of aggressive ingredients added, so that even Damage to the carpet can occur.

Im Hinblick auf den vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik beschäftigt sich die Erfindung mit der technischen Problematik, ein verbessertes Fleckentfernungsmittel anzugeben.In view of the state of the art described above the invention deals with the technical Problem, an improved stain remover specify.

Überraschend wurde gefunden, daß das an sich als Farbinhibierungsmittel in Waschmittel bekannte Polyvinylpyrrolidon eine vorteilhafte Wirkung als Fleckentfernungsmittel entfalten kann. Im weiteren wurde gefunden, daß die vorteilhafte Wirkung von Polyvinylpyrrolidon insoweit an ein bestimmtes Verhältnis zu den den Fleckentfernungsmitteln beigefügten Tensiden gebunden ist. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Anteil an Polyvinylpyrrolidon etwa dem ein- bis dreifachen, vorzugsweise etwa dem zweifachen des Tensidanteils entspricht und Polyvinylpyrrolidon in einem Lösungsmittel wie vorzugsweise Wasser in einem Bereich zwischen 1:25 und 1:75, vorzugsweise etwa 1:50, in bezug auf Teile Polyvinylpyrrolidon zu Teilen Lösungsmittel enthalten ist. Surprisingly, it was found that this in itself as a color inhibitor polyvinylpyrrolidone known in detergents a beneficial effect as a stain remover can unfold. Furthermore it was found that the beneficial effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone in so far as a certain relationship to the stain removing agents attached surfactants is bound. It is advantageous if the proportion of polyvinylpyrrolidone about one to three times, preferably about twice the amount of surfactant and polyvinylpyrrolidone in a solvent such as preferably Water in a range between 1:25 and 1:75, preferably about 1:50 in terms of parts of polyvinyl pyrrolidone parts of solvent is included.

In weiterer Einzelheit kann das entsprechende Fleckentfernungsmittel auch noch Lösungsmittelbestandteile wie Alkohol, bspw. Hexylenglykol, enthalten. Gegebenenfalls kann auch Aceton enthalten sein. Als Tenside eignen sich anionische oder nichtionische Tenside. Hierunter Triethanolamin, Olein-/Linolfettsäure und ggf. Natronlauge (50%ig). Es können auch Alkylsulfate, Alkylsuccinate, Alkylsulfonate, Ethylen-Glykolethersulfate, Salze von Ethercolonsäure, Carbonsäuren und Carbonsäureamiden sowie Ethylenoxide vorhanden sein.In more detail, the appropriate stain remover also solvent components such as Alcohol, for example. Hexylene glycol, contain. Possibly may also contain acetone. Suitable as surfactants anionic or nonionic surfactants. Below Triethanolamine, oleic / linoleic fatty acid and possibly sodium hydroxide solution (50%). Alkyl sulfates, alkyl succinates, Alkyl sulfonates, ethylene glycol ether sulfates, salts of ether colonic acid, carboxylic acids and carboxamides and ethylene oxides are present.

Eine bevorzugte Rezeptur des Teppich-Fleckentfernungsmittels ist wie folgt gegeben Triethanolamin 0,375 % Hexylenglykol 0,310 % Olein-/Linolfettsäure 0,400 % Natronlauge (50%ig) 0,100 % Polyvinylpyrrolidon 2,000 % Wasser 96,815 % Gesamt 100,000 % A preferred formulation of the carpet stain remover is as follows Triethanolamine 0.375% Hexylene glycol 0.310% Oleic / linoleic fatty acid 0.400% Sodium hydroxide solution (50%) 0.100% Polyvinyl pyrrolidone 2,000% water 96.815% total 100,000%
