  • Patent number: 9217124
    Abstract: The invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent, wherein use thereof generates hydrogel layers surfaces, comprising a hydrogel former having a molecular weight less than 3500 g/Mol, wherein the hydrogel former is water-soluble at concentrations below the minimum gel formation concentration, wherein the minimum gel formation concentration is the concentration at which a yield point of at least 0.05 Pa is formed in a binary solution of water and hydrogel former at T=25° C., and wherein said minimum gel formation concentration lies below 2 wt % of hydrogel former, relative to the system consisting of water and hydrogel former. The washing or cleaning agents according to the invention enable the hydrophiliation of surfaces, and the specific and retarded releasing of active substances embedded in the hydrogel layers, such as aromatic substances or antimicrobial active substances, for example.

  • Publication number: 20140143959
    Abstract: The cleaning performance of washing and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to bleachable stains, was to be intensified without resulting in damage, in the context of use, to the textile treated therewith. This was achieved substantially by employing a bleaching-active species generated electrolytically from an organic mediator compound using a redox reaction.

  • Patent number: 8093198
    Abstract: The production of bleaching agent granulates, wherein a particulate peroxide compound and a water soluble polymer which can be ionotropically cross-linked are granulated into a primary granulate using a liquid binding agent containing water, and the primary granulate is brought into contact with a cross-linking agent for the water soluble polymer which can be ionotropically cross-linked. A particle so obtained can be worked into liquid detergents and cleaning agents containing water and remain stable.
