Detergent Or Cleaning Agent Comprising At Least Two Phases

Abstract

A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, having at least two phases which are different from each other. The detergent or cleaning agent includes at least one first phase and at least one second phase that is different, with the at least one first phase being solid and the at least one second phase having at least one polymer and at least one polyvalent alcohol.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A detergent or cleaning agent comprising at least one first phase and at least one second phase that is different from said first phase, wherein the at least one first phase is solid and particularly compressed and the at least one second phase comprises at least one polymer as well as at least one polyvalent alcohol, and wherein the at least one second phase is linear-elastic and transparent. 
     
     
         2 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one second phase comprises at least two polyvalent alcohols, with a first polyvalent alcohol comprising an alkanetriol, and a second polyvalent alcohol comprising an alkanediol. 
     
     
         3 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the first polyvalent alcohol is a C 3  to C 8  alkanetriol. 
     
     
         4 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the second polyvalent alcohol is a C 3  to C 8  alkanediol. 
     
     
         5 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the two OH groups of the alkanediol are not arranged on immediately adjacent C atoms of the alkyl chain, and that three or four carbon atoms are located between the two OH groups. 
     
     
         6 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in,  claim 1  wherein the at least one second phase is substantially water-free. 
     
     
         7 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one second phase comprises gelatin and/or PVA as a polymer. 
     
     
         8 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one first phase and/or the at least one second phase comprises at least one surfactant. 
     
     
         9 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the detergent or cleaning agent is present in the form of a tablet, with the weight ratio of the at least one first phase to the at least one second phase being 20:1 to 8:1. 
     
     
         10 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the at least one second phase comprises at least two polyvalent alcohols, with a first polyvalent alcohol being a C 3  to C 10  alkanetriol, and a second polyvalent alcohol being a C 3  to C 10  alkanediol. 
     
     
         11 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the first polyvalent alcohol is a C 3  to C 6  alkanetriol. 
     
     
         12 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein the first polyvalent alcohol is glycerin. 
     
     
         13 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein the first polyvalent alcohol is 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane. 
     
     
         14 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein the first polyvalent alcohol is 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol. 
     
     
         15 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the second polyvalent alcohol is a C 3  to C 5  alkanediol. 
     
     
         16 . The detergent or cleaning agent as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the at least one first phase and/or the at least one second phase comprises at least one nonionic surfactant.
