Die bisher als Schmiermittel eingesetzten Kettengleitmittel basieren einerseits auf Fettsäuren in Form ihrer wasserlöslichen Alkali- oder Alkanolaminsalze oder auf Fettaminen in Form ihrer organischen oder anorganischen Salze.The chain lubricants previously used as lubricants are based on the one hand on fatty acids in the form of their water-soluble alkali or alkanolamine salts or on fatty amines in the form of their organic or inorganic salts.

Die DE-A-23 13 330 beschreibt Schmiermittel auf Seifenbasis, die wäßrige Mischungen von C₁₆-C₁₈-Fettsäuresalzen und oberflächenaktiven Substanzen enthalten.DE-A-23 13 330 describes soap-based lubricants which contain aqueous mixtures of C₁₆-C₁₈ fatty acid salts and surface-active substances.

Neben diesen Schmiermitteln auf Seifenbasis werden ansonsten hauptsächlich solche auf Basis von primären Fettaminen verwendet. So beschreibt die DE-A-36 31 953 ein Verfahren zum Schmieren von kettenförmigen Flaschentransportbändern in Getränkeabfüllbetrieben, insbesondere in Brauereien, sowie zum Reinigen der Bänder mittels eines flüssigen Reinigungsmittels, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß man die kettenförmigen Flaschentransportbänder mit Bandschmiermitteln auf Basis neutralisierter primärer Fettamine, die vorzugsweise 12 bis 18 C-Atome aufweisen und einen ungesättigten Anteil von mehr als 10 % enthalten, schmiert und die Flaschentransportbänder mit kationischen Reinigungsmitteln, nämlich quaternären Ammoniumverbindungen wie Alkyltrimethylammonium-, Dialkyldimethylammonium- und Alkyldimethylbenzylammoniumchloriden oder organischen Säuren reinigt.In addition to these soap-based lubricants, mainly those based on primary fatty amines are used. For example, DE-A-36 31 953 describes a method for lubricating chain-shaped bottle conveyor belts in beverage filling plants, in particular in breweries, and for cleaning the belts by means of a liquid detergent, which is characterized in that the chain-shaped bottle conveyor belts are lubricated with belt lubricants based on neutralized primary fatty amines, which preferably have 12 to 18 C atoms and contain an unsaturated fraction of more than 10%, and the bottle conveyor belts are lubricated with cationic detergents, namely quaternary ammonium compounds such as alkyltrimethylammonium, dialkyldimethylammonium and alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chlorides or organic acids.

Schließlich sind im Stand der Technik weitere Kettenschmiermittel bekannt; so beschreibt die EP-A-0 044 458 Schmiermittelzubereitungen, die praktisch frei von Fettsäureseifen sind und die weiterhin ein carboxyliertes nichtionisches Tensid und ein Acylsarcosinat enthalten. Der pH-Wert dieser Produkte beträgt 7 bis 11 und liegt somit vorzugsweise im neutralen bis alkalischen Bereich.Finally, further chain lubricants are known in the prior art; this is how EP-A-0 044 458 describes lubricant preparations which are practically free from fatty acid soaps and which also contain a carboxylated nonionic surfactant and an acyl sarcosinate. The pH of these products is 7 to 11 and is therefore preferably in the neutral to alkaline range.

Die DE-A-38 31 448 betrifft schließlich wäßrige, klarwasserlösliche, seifenfreie Schmiermittelzubereitungen, ein Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung und die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittelzubereitungen, insbesondere als Schmiermittel zum Transport von Glasflaschen oder Polyethylenterephthalat-Flaschen. Die im wesentlichen neutralen wäßrigen Schmiermittelzubereitungen (pH im Bereich von 6 bis 8) enthalten Alkylbenzolsulfonate, alkoxylierte Alkanolphosphate und Alkancarbonsäuren, gegebenenfalls neben üblichen Lösungsvermittlern, Lösungsmitteln, Entschäumungsmitteln und Desinfektionsmitteln.Finally, DE-A-38 31 448 relates to aqueous, clear water-soluble, soap-free lubricant preparations, a process for their preparation and the use of the lubricant preparations according to the invention, in particular as a lubricant for the transport of glass bottles or polyethylene terephthalate bottles. The essentially neutral aqueous lubricant preparations (pH in the range from 6 to 8) contain alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkoxylated alkanol phosphates and alkane carboxylic acids, if appropriate in addition to customary solubilizers, solvents, defoamers and disinfectants.

Allerdings zeigen auch diese beiden oben beschriebenen Produkte noch folgende drei Nachteile:

  • 1. Sie sind mikrobiologisch ungünstig, da sie hervorragende Wachstumsbedingungen für Mikroorganismen schaffen.
  • 2. Weiterhin zeigen sie nur eine geringe Reinigungskraft.
  • 3. Schließlich weisen sie ein schwer zu kontrollierendes Schaumverhalten auf.
However, these two products described above also have the following three disadvantages:
  • 1. They are microbiologically unfavorable because they create excellent growth conditions for microorganisms.
  • 2. Furthermore, they show only a low cleaning power.
  • 3. Finally, they have a foam behavior that is difficult to control.

In der DE-A-39 05 548 werden Schmiermittel beschrieben, die mindestens ein sekundäres und/oder tertiäres Amin und/oder Salze derartiger Amine enthalten.DE-A-39 05 548 describes lubricants which contain at least one secondary and / or tertiary amine and / or salts of such amines.

In jüngster Zeit werden häufig Getränke in Polyethylenterephthalat (PET)-Flaschen abgefüllt. Insbesondere für kohlensäurehaltige Getränke wie Mineralwasser und Limonaden haben sich in diesem Bereich PET-Mehrwegflaschen bewährt. Während des Transportes der Flaschen in den Abfüllbetrieben kommen diese Flaschen mit Kettentransportband-Schmiermitteln in Kontakt. Ein mehr oder weniger großer Teil des Kettentransportband-Schmiermittels verbleibt an den Flaschen, trocknet an und führt teilweise zu Schädigungen dieser Flaschen. Insbesondere sind in der Anwendungstechnik Risse im PET-Material, sogenannte Spannungsrisse, festgestellt worden. Dies führt im Extremfall zum Platzen der Flasche.Recently, beverages have often been filled into polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Reusable PET bottles have proven particularly useful in this area for carbonated beverages such as mineral water and lemonades. While the bottles are being transported to the bottling plants, these bottles come into contact with chain conveyor lubricants. A more or less large part of the chain conveyor belt lubricant remains on the bottles, dries and sometimes damages these bottles. In particular, cracks in the PET material, so-called stress cracks, have been found in application technology. In extreme cases, this leads to the bottle bursting.

Aus diesem Grunde wurden bisher zur Schmierung der Flaschen praktisch ausschließlich seifenhaltige Kettentransport-Schmiermittel eingesetzt, die von den Herstellern jeweils auf ihre spezielle Eignung untersucht und freigegeben wurden. Allgemein im Stand der Technik bekannte Kettentransportband-Schmiermittel auf Alkylaminbasis, die wie oben aufgeführt, eine breite Verwendung im Stand der Technik für den Transport von anderen Getränkegebinden finden, führten scheinbar zu einer Schädigung der Flaschen.For this reason, so far only soap-containing chain transport lubricants have been used to lubricate the bottles, which have been examined and approved by the manufacturers for their particular suitability. Generally known in the art chain conveyor belt lubricants based on alkylamine, which, as stated above, are widely used in the prior art for the transportation of other beverage containers, apparently caused damage to the bottles.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand somit darin, ein Kettentransportband-Schmiermittel zur Verfügung zu stellen, das den Bedürfnissen der Anwendungsseite dahingehend gerecht wird, daß der sogenannte Reibbeiwert gleich oder weniger 0,1 bis 0,12 beträgt, das Produkt gleichzeitig reinigt, schmiert und desinfiziert, das Produkt in möglichst geringen Konzentrationen einsetzbar ist, das Produkt die PET-Flaschen nicht schädigt, das Produkt unabhängig von der Wasserhärte einsetzbar ist und das Produkt insbesondere für den Mischbetrieb PET-Glas geeignet ist.The object of the present invention was therefore to provide a chain conveyor belt lubricant which meets the needs of the application side in that the So-called coefficient of friction is equal to or less than 0.1 to 0.12, the product simultaneously cleans, lubricates and disinfects, the product can be used in the lowest possible concentrations, the product does not damage the PET bottles, the product can be used regardless of the water hardness and the product is particularly suitable for mixed PET glass.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, daß nicht die Alkylamine selbst, sondern die üblicherweise eingesetzten Hilfsstoffe wie nichtionische Tenside, insbesondere alkoxilierte Fettamine, Fettalkohole, alkoxilierte Fettalkohole, zu einer mehr oder weniger großen Schädigung der PET-Mehrwegflaschen führten.Surprisingly, it was found that not the alkylamines themselves, but rather the auxiliaries usually used, such as nonionic surfactants, in particular alkoxylated fatty amines, fatty alcohols, alkoxylated fatty alcohols, caused more or less great damage to the returnable PET bottles.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung wurde gelöst durch die Verwendung bestimmter nichtionogener Tenside, die sämtliche Anforderungen an Kettentransportband-Schmiermittel, wie oben aufgeführt, erfüllen.The object of the present invention was achieved by the use of certain nonionic surfactants which meet all the requirements for chain conveyor belt lubricants, as listed above.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft seifenfreie Schmiermittel auf der Basis von amphoteren Verbindungen, primären, sekundären und/oder tertiären Aminen und/oder Salzen derartiger Amine der allgemeinen Formel (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IIIb), (IIIc), (IVa) und (IVb)

Hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendungseigenschaften zeigen die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittelkombinationen einen sehr guten Reibbeiwert, ein geringes Schaumverhalten, eine gute Reinigungswirkung sowie gute Hautverträglichkeit. Zusätzlich zu den genannten positiven Eigenschaften werden folgende Randbedingungen erfüllt: Mäßiges Schaumverhalten verbessert die Schmierwirkung an Problemzonen, wie Drehtellern, Wechslern usw., hohe Substantivität und damit hohe Schmierleistung auch bei ungünstigen Betriebsbedingungen (z.B. Unterbandschmierung), allgemein einsetzbar auch bei apparativen Unzulänglichkeiten, guter Reinigungseffekt, hohe Kapillaraktivität und Filmbildung an Oberflächen, auch in Gegenwart von organischen Belastungen und Säuren oder Alkalien wirksam und auch als Konzentrat nicht korrosiv.With regard to their application properties, the lubricant combinations according to the invention show a very good coefficient of friction, a low foaming behavior, a good cleaning effect and good skin tolerance. In addition to the positive properties mentioned, the following boundary conditions are met: Moderate foaming behavior improves the lubricating effect in problem areas, such as Turntables, changers, etc., high substantivity and thus high lubricating performance even under unfavorable operating conditions (e.g. belt lubrication), generally applicable even with equipment shortcomings, good cleaning effect, high capillary activity and film formation on surfaces, also effective in the presence of organic loads and acids or alkalis and not corrosive even as a concentrate.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittelkombinationen sind beim Einsatz in der Getränkeindustrie im Gegensatz zu den bislang eingesetzten Kettenschmiermitteln sowohl unabhängig von der Wasserqualität als auch schaumarm, lagerstabil bei tiefen Temperaturen, nicht korrosiv und besonders umwelt- und hautvertäglich.When used in the beverage industry, the lubricant combinations according to the invention, in contrast to the chain lubricants used hitherto, are both independent of the water quality and low-foaming, stable in storage at low temperatures, not corrosive and particularly environmentally and skin-friendly.

Mithin können derartige Schmiermittelkombinationen im Sinne der Erfindung ausschließlich aus den genannten amphoteren Verbindungen bestehen und der dazugehörigen Tensidbasis. Ferner umfaßt die Erfindung auch solche Schmiermittel-Formulierungen, die die Verbindungen der allgemeinen Formeln (I) bis (IV) nur zu einem geringeren Anteil, vorzugsweise in Mengen von 5 bis 15 Gew.-% und insbesondere von 10 bis 12 Gew.-%, enthalten.

Furthermore, the invention also includes those lubricant formulations which contain the compounds of the general formulas (I) to (IV) only to a lesser extent, preferably in amounts of 5 to 15% by weight and in particular 10 to 12% by weight , contain.

Weiterhin können die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittel als Hilfsstoffe Lösungsvermittler zum Erhalt einer homogenen, klarwasserlöslichen Anwendungslösung enthalten. Als solche kommen beispielsweise in Betracht: Alkohole, Polyalkohole, Ether oder Polyether, insbesondere Isopropanol, Butylglykol, Butyldiglykol oder Ethylenglykolether. Die Menge des zu verwendenden Lösungsvermittlers richtet sich im Einzelfall nach dem eingesetzten Betain bzw.

Bevorzugt sind Alkyloligoglykoside, die sich von Aldosen bzw. Ketosen und wegen ihrer leichten Verfügbarkeit insbesondere von der Glucose ableiten. Die bevorzugten Alkyloligoglykoside sind somit die Alkyloligoglucoside.Alkyl oligoglycosides which are derived from aldoses or ketoses and, in particular, from glucose because of their ready availability are preferred. The preferred alkyl oligoglycosides are thus the alkyl oligoglucosides.

Die Indexzahl p in der allgemeinen Formel (V) gibt den Oligomerisierungsgrad (DP-Grad), d. h. die Verteilung von Mono- und Oligoglykosiden an und steht für eine Zahl zwischen 1 und 10. Während p in einer gegebenen Verbindung stets ganzzahlig sein muß und hier vor allem die Werte p = 1 bis 6 annehmen kann, ist der Wert p für ein bestimmtes Alkyloligoglykosid eine analytisch ermittelte rechnerische Größe, die meistens eine gebrochene Zahl darstellt. Bevorzugt sind Alkyloligoglykoside mit einem mittleren Oligomerisierungsgrad p von 1,1 bis 3,0; besonders bevorzugt sind solche Alkyloligoglykoside, deren Oligomerisierungsgrad kleiner als 1,7 ist und insbesondere zwischen 1,2 und 1,4 liegt.The index number p in the general formula (V) indicates the degree of oligomerization (DP degree), ie the distribution of mono- and oligoglycosides, and stands for a number between 1 and 10. While p in a given compound must always be an integer and here can assume the values p = 1 to 6 in particular, the value p for a certain alkyl oligoglycoside is an analytically determined arithmetic parameter, which usually represents a fractional number. Alkyl oligoglycosides with an average degree of oligomerization p of from 1.1 to 3.0 are preferred; those alkyl oligoglycosides whose degree of oligomerization is less than 1.7 and in particular between 1.2 and 1.4 are particularly preferred.

Der Alkyrest R¹ kann sich von primären Alkoholen mit 4 bis 22, vorzugsweise 8 bis 16, insbesondere 8 bis 10, Kohlenstoffatomen ableiten. Typische Beispiele sind Butanol, Capronalkohol, Caprylalkohol, Caprinalkohol, Laurylalkhohol, Myristylalkohol, Cetylalkohol, Stearylalkohol, Arachylalkohol, Behenylalkohol sowie deren technische Mischungen auf Basis von natürlichen Fetten und Ölen, beispielsweise Palmöl, Palmkernöl, Kokosöl oder Rindertalg.The alkyl radical R 1 can be derived from primary alcohols having 4 to 22, preferably 8 to 16, in particular 8 to 10, carbon atoms. Typical examples are butanol, capro alcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, arachyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol and their technical mixtures based on natural fats and oils, for example palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil or beef tallow.

Alkyloligoglykoside stellen bekannte Stoffe dar, die nach den einschlägigen Methoden der präparativen organischen Chemie erhalten werden können. Stellvertretend für das umfangreiche Schrifttum hinsichtlich ihrer Struktur und Synthese sei auf die Europäische Patentanmeldung EP-A-0 301 298 verwiesen.Alkyl oligoglycosides are known substances that can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. As a representative of the extensive literature regarding its structure and synthesis, reference is made to the European patent application EP-A-0 301 298.

Im allgemeinen sind die genannten Tenside im Bereich von 1 bis 10 Gew.%, bezogen auf die Gesamtformulierung für die Benetzung der Ketten und Plattentransportbänder ausreichend. Die Aminoxide ebenso wie die Alkyloligoglykoside können jeweils allein oder im Gemisch eingesetzt werden.In general, the surfactants mentioned in the range from 1 to 10% by weight, based on the total formulation, are sufficient for wetting the chains and plate conveyor belts. The amine oxides as well as the alkyl oligoglycosides can each be used alone or in a mixture.

Bekannte Hilfsstoffe des Standes der Technik sind beispielsweise alkoxylierte Fettamine, Fettalkohole oder alkoxylierte Fettalkohole. Diese Tenside haben jedoch den Nachteil einer erhöhten Spannungsrißkorrosionsbildung bei PET-Flaschen. Daher werden derartige Tenside im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung bevorzugt nicht eingesetzt. Sofern dies jedoch trotzdem erwünscht ist, so sollte jedoch ihr Anteil möglichst gering gehalten werden.Known auxiliaries from the prior art are, for example, alkoxylated fatty amines, fatty alcohols or alkoxylated fatty alcohols. However, these surfactants have the disadvantage of increased stress corrosion cracking in PET bottles. Such surfactants are therefore preferably not used in the sense of the present invention. If, however, this is desired, their share should be kept as low as possible.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittel weisen vorzugsweise einen pH-Wert im Bereich von 4 bis 11, insbesondere im Bereich von 6 bis 9, auf. Sofern der pH-Wert des Schmiermittels nicht bereits in diesem Bereich liegt, kann er durch Zugabe einer Säure, vorzugsweise einer Säure mit dem vorstehend definierten Anion X⁻, beispielsweise mit Essigsäure auf den gewünschten Wert eingestellt werden.The lubricants according to the invention preferably have a pH in the range from 4 to 11, in particular in the range from 6 to 9. If the pH of the lubricant is not already in this range, it can be added by adding an acid, preferably one Acid with the anion X⁻ defined above, for example with acetic acid to the desired value.

Im Hinblick auf eine optimale Dosiermöglichkeit ist es ferner von Vorteil, daß die Schmiermittel eine dynamische Viskosität von weniger als 300 mPa.s, insbesondere von weniger als 150 mPa.s und besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 5 bis 100 mPa.s - jeweils bei 20 °C - aufweisen. Eine gesonderte Einstellung der Viskosität auf die genannten Werte ist im allgemeinen nicht erforderlich bzw. erfolgt gegebenenfalls durch Zusatz geeigneter Mengen des bevorzugten Verdünnungsmittels Wasser oder eines Lösungsvermittlers.With regard to an optimal metering option, it is also advantageous that the lubricants have a dynamic viscosity of less than 300 mPa.s, in particular less than 150 mPa.s and particularly preferably in the range from 5 to 100 mPa.s - in each case at 20 ° C - have. A separate adjustment of the viscosity to the values mentioned is generally not necessary or is optionally carried out by adding suitable amounts of the preferred diluent water or a solubilizer.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittel lassen sie sich durch einfaches Vermischen der Komponenten mit Wasser, gegebenenfalls unter Zusatz der genannten Zusatz- und/oder Hilfsstoffe, herstellen.The lubricants according to the invention can be prepared by simply mixing the components with water, optionally with the addition of the additives and / or auxiliaries mentioned.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft schließlich die Verwendung von Schmiermitteln der vorstehend beschriebenen Art als Kettenschmiermittel in der Lebensmittelindustrie, insbesondere für automatische Ketten- und Bandschmieranlagen. Für diesen Anwendungszweck werden die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittel im allgemeinen noch mit Wasser verdünnt. Derartige wäßrige Anwendungslösungen enthalten in der Regel 0,01 Gew.-% Verbindungen der allgemeinen Formeln (I) bis (IV), vorzugsweise 0,01 bis 0,2 Gew.-% und insbesondere 0,02 bis 0,04 Gew.-% derartiger Verbindungen, sowie 0,1 bis 1 Gew.-% der genannten, erfindungsgemäßen Tenside.Finally, the present invention relates to the use of lubricants of the type described above as chain lubricants in the food industry, in particular for automatic chain and belt lubrication systems. For this purpose, the lubricants according to the invention are generally diluted with water. Such aqueous application solutions generally contain 0.01% by weight of compounds of the general formulas (I) to (IV), preferably 0.01 to 0.2% by weight and in particular 0.02 to 0.04% by weight. % of such compounds and 0.1 to 1% by weight of the surfactants according to the invention mentioned.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Produkte verursachen im Gegensatz zu Standard-Seifenprodukten keine Spannungsrißkorrosion und können daher für PET und PC-Gebinde problemlos eingesetzt werden. (PET = Polyethylenterephthalat, PC= Polycarbonat). Besonders bevorzugt für klarwasserlösliche Konzentrate sind neutrale pH-Werte.In contrast to standard soap products, the products according to the invention do not cause stress corrosion cracking and can therefore be used without problems for PET and PC containers. (PET = polyethylene terephthalate, PC = polycarbonate). Neutral pH values are particularly preferred for clear water-soluble concentrates.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittel eignen sich nämlich in der für die Ketten- und Bandschmierung erforderlichen Konzentration auch zum Reinigen von Leergut sowie Maschinen und Maschinenteilen.The lubricants according to the invention are namely suitable in the concentration required for chain and belt lubrication also for cleaning empties as well as machines and machine parts.

Ferner sind die zentralen Schaumsysteme in der Lebensmittelindustrie teilweise mit fest installierten, automatischen Systemen ausgestattet, die nach produktionsablauf oder in Pausen automatisch die Außenreinigung von Füllern, zylindrokonischen Gär- und Lagertanks, Transportunterbändern und anderen Maschinen und Anlagen bewirken.Furthermore, the central foam systems in the food industry are partially equipped with permanently installed, automatic systems that automatically clean the outside of fillers, cylindroconical fermentation and storage tanks, conveyor belts and other machines and systems after production or during breaks.

Auch hier können die erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittel mit großem Vorteil Verwendung finden.Here too, the lubricants according to the invention can be used with great advantage.

Somit betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ferner die Verwendung von Schmiermitteln der vorstehend beschriebenen Art zum Desinfizieren und Reinigen von Leergut, Maschinen und Anlagen in der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie.Thus, the present invention further relates to the use of lubricants of the type described above for disinfecting and cleaning empties, machines and systems in the food and beverage industry.

BeispieleExamples

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird durch die nachfolgenden Beispiele näher erläutert. In den erfindungsgemäßen Beispielen 1 und 2 werden der Reibungswiderstand und das Schaumverhalten von erfindungsgemäßen Schmiermittelformulierungen aufgezeigt. Zum Vergleich dienen die Vergleichsbeispiele 1 bis 3, die Produkte des Standes der Technik betreffen.The present invention is illustrated by the following examples. Examples 1 and 2 according to the invention show the frictional resistance and the foaming behavior of lubricant formulations according to the invention. Comparative examples 1 to 3, which relate to products of the prior art, serve for comparison.

Alle Prozentangaben in den nachstehenden Formulierungs-Beispielen beziehen sich auf Gewichtsprozente.All percentages in the formulation examples below relate to percentages by weight.

Die PET-Flaschen werden mit kohlensäurehaltigem Wasser von 4,5 Vol% CO2 gefüllt und entsprechend verschlossen. Die Flaschen werden im Bodenbereich in die zu prüfende Substanz (siehe Tabelle 1) getaucht und bei 38° C für 72 Studen gelagert. Danach wird die Flasche bemustert (von keine Spannungsrisse bis zerstörte Flasche).The PET bottles are filled with carbonated water of 4.5 vol% CO2 and sealed accordingly. The bottles are immersed in the substance to be tested in the bottom area (see Table 1) and stored at 38 ° C for 72 hours. Then the bottle is sampled (from no stress cracks to destroyed bottle).

Die Versuche zur Messung des Reibungswiderstandes, im folgenden kurz "Reibbeiwert" genannt, sind auf einem Technikums-Flaschentransportband unter folgenden Bedingungen durchgeführt worden:
Messung des Reibwiderstandes von 20 mit Wasser gefüllten 0,5 l Euro-Bierflaschen als Zugspannung mit einem Dynamometer.
Flaschentransportgeschwindigkeit: ca. 1 m/s
Besprühen des Flaschentransportbandes mit 0,4 %iger Bandschmiermittellösung, wie in den Beispielen genannt.
Sprühleistung der Düsen: 4 l/h, 1 Düse pro Band.
The tests for measuring the frictional resistance, hereinafter referred to as "coefficient of friction", were carried out on a pilot bottle conveyor belt under the following conditions:
Measurement of the frictional resistance of 20 0.5 l Euro beer bottles filled with water as tension using a dynamometer.
Bottle transport speed: approx. 1 m / s
Spray the bottle conveyor belt with 0.4% tape lubricant solution, as mentioned in the examples.
Spraying performance of the nozzles: 4 l / h, 1 nozzle per belt.

Der im folgenden angegebene Reibbeiwert "µ" ergibt sich als der Quotient der gemessenen Zugspannung für eine Flasche zum Gewicht der Flasche in Gramm.The coefficient of friction "µ" given below is the quotient of the measured tensile stress for a bottle to the weight of the bottle in grams.

Weiterhin wurden die Produkte mit Hartwasser (16 °d) nach den Bestimmungen der DIN 53 902 getestet.Furthermore, the products were tested with hard water (16 ° d) according to the provisions of DIN 53 902.

Das Schaumverhalten wird nach folgenden Klassen beurteilt:

  • 0 = schaumfrei
  • 1 = vereinzelte Schaumblasen
  • 2 = geringes Schäumen, nicht störend
  • 3 = Schäumen, störend
  • 4 = starkes Schäumen, nicht akzeptabel, Schaum unter dem Band
The foam behavior is assessed according to the following classes:
  • 0 = foam-free
  • 1 = isolated foam bubbles
  • 2 = low foaming, not disturbing
  • 3 = foaming, disturbing
  • 4 = strong foaming, not acceptable, foam under the tape

Der Reibbeiwert sollte zur ausreichenden Schmierung bei oder kleiner gleich 0,10 bis 0,12 liegen. Bei Überschreiten von 0,15 läßt die Schmierwirkung und somit der einwandfreie Transport deutlich nach.For sufficient lubrication, the coefficient of friction should be 0.10 to 0.12 or less. If the value exceeds 0.15, the lubricating effect and thus the perfect transport will decrease significantly.

Die Klarwasserlöslichkeit der Anwendungslösungen sollte auch über einen längeren Versuchszeitraum gewährleistet sein, um Ablagerungen in Kugelventilfiltern, Düsen, Sprüh- und Verteilsystem, Band und Transportgut zu vermeiden.The clear water solubility of the application solutions should also be guaranteed over a longer test period in order to avoid deposits in ball valve filters, nozzles, spray and distribution systems, conveyor belts and transport goods.

Die Schaumentwicklung sollte gering sein, da übermäßiger Schaum nicht nur den Arbeitsablauf (automatischer bottle inspector) und die Arbeitssicherheit (Rutschgefahr) stört, sondern darüber hinaus auch das Etikett aufweichen und in das noch nicht verschlossene Gefäß dringen kann. Zusätzlich wird durch übermäßige Schaumneigung der Reibbeiwert verschlechtert. Tabelle 1 Cocosfettamin + 12EO mittelstarke Risse Oleylamid + 5EO viele Risse 2 Hydroxyfettalkoholethoxylat viele Risse Oleyl-cetylpropylenglycolether viele Risse Oleyl-cetylalkohol + 5EO viele Risse Alkylbenzolsulfonat keine Risse Cocosalkyldimethylaminooxid keine Risse C₈₋₁₀ Glycosidn=1,6 (70 % Aktivsubstanz) fast keine Risse C₈₋₁₀ Glycosidn=1,4 (60 % Aktivsubstanz) keine Risse C₈₋₁₀ Glycosidn=1,7-1,8 fast keine Risse The foam development should be low, since excessive foam not only interferes with the workflow (automatic bottle inspector) and occupational safety (risk of slipping), but also can soften the label and penetrate into the not yet sealed container. In addition, the coefficient of friction deteriorates due to excessive foaming tendency. Table 1 Coconut fatty amine + 12EO moderate cracks Oleylamide + 5EO many cracks 2 hydroxy fatty alcohol ethoxylate many cracks Oleyl cetyl propylene glycol ether many cracks Oleyl cetyl alcohol + 5EO many cracks Alkyl benzene sulfonate no cracks Coco alkyl dimethyl amino oxide no cracks C₈₋₁₀ glycoside n = 1.6 (70% active substance) almost no cracks C₈₋₁₀ glycoside n = 1.4 (60% active substance) no cracks C₈₋₁₀ glycoside n = 1.7-1.8 almost no cracks

Anionische Tenside wie das Alkylbenzolsulfonat lassen sich nicht in die kationisch reagierenden Kettengleitmittel auf Alkylaminbasis einarbeiten, so daß nur noch Aminoxide und Alkylpolyglucoside für den Einsatz in entsprechenden Kettengleitmitteln verbleiben.Anionic surfactants such as alkylbenzenesulfonate cannot be incorporated into the cationically reacting chain lubricants based on alkylamines, so that only amine oxides and alkyl polyglucosides remain for use in corresponding chain lubricants.
