Abstract

Machine dishwashing detergents which contain builder(s), surfactant(s), and optionally further ingredients, which comprise 0.1 to 50% by weight of one or more nonionic surfactants which, at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 9·10 −11 m 2 s −1 .

Claims (27)

1. A machine dishwashing detergent comprising one or more builder(s), and 0.1 to 50% by weight of one or more nonionic surfactants which, at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 9·10 −11 m 2 s −1 , said nonionic surfactants comprising one or more surfactants of the general formula I:

in which R 1 is a straight-chain or branched, saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated C 6-24 -alkyl or alkenyl radical; each group R 2 and R 3 , independently of one another, is chosen from —CH 3 , —CH 2 CH 3 , —CH 2 CH 2 —CH 3 , CH(CH 3 ) 2 and the indices w, x, y, z, independently of one another, are integers from 1 to 6.

2. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s), at a concentration off 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 9.5·10 −11 m 2 s −1 .

3. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 2 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s), at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 1·10 −10 m 2 s −1 .

4. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 3 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s), at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 2.5·10 −10 m 2 s −1 .

5. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s), at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 5·10 −10 m 2 s −1 .

6. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 5 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s), at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 1·10 −9 m 2 s −1 .

7. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 6 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s), at a concentration of 0.01 g/l in distilled water, have a diffusion coefficient of at least 5·10 −9 m 2 s −1 .

8. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s) are present in amounts of from 0.5 to 40% by weight.

9. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 8 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s) are present in amounts of from 1 to 30% by weight.

10. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 9 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s) are present in amounts of from 2.5 to 25% by weight.

11. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 10 , wherein the nonionic surfactant(s) are present in amounts of from 5 to 20% by weight.

12. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is an alkyl radical having 6 to 24 carbon atoms.

13. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 12 , wherein R 1 is an alkyl radical having 8 to 20 carbon atoms.

14. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 13 , wherein R 1 is an alkyl radical having 9 to 15 carbon atoms.

15. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 14 , wherein R 1 is an alkyl radical having 9 to 11 carbon atoms.

16. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein R 2 and R 3 are a radical —CM 3 , w and x, independently of one another, are values of 3 or 4 and y and z, independently of one another, are values of 1 or 2.

17. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 12 , wherein R 2 and R 3 are a radical —CH 3 , w and x, independently of one another, are values of 3 or 4 and y and z, independently of one another, are values of 1 or 2.

18. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein it comprises the builder(s) in amounts of from 5 to 90% by weight.

19. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 18 , wherein it comprises the builder(s) in amounts of from 7.5 to 85% by weight.

20. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 19 , wherein it comprises the builder(s) in amounts of from 10 to 80% by weight.

21. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , comprising one or more enzymes in amounts of from 0.01 to 15% by weight.

22. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 21 , wherein it comprises the enzymes in amounts of from 0.1 to 10% by weight.

23. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 22 , wherein it comprises the enzymes in amounts of from 0.5 to 6% by weight.

24. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , comprising one or more bleaches in amounts of from 1 to 40% by weight.

25. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , comprising one or more bleaches in amounts of from 2.5 to 30% by weight.

26. The machine dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , comprising one or more bleaches in amounts of from 5 to 20% by weight.
