Abstract

The two last decades have been marked by an increasing environmental awareness. In relationship to detergents, renew-ability, biodegradability, and ecotoxicity have become important issues in the study, development and application of surfactants. In this respect, rapeseed methyl ester ethoxylates are an interesting new class of nonionic surfactants that gain more and more interest on the market. They are easily to formulate into attractive liquid detergents with high cleaning performance and show a more favorable ecotoxicological profile compared to fatty alcohol ethoxylates.

Kurzfassung

Die letzten zwei Jahrzehnte sind durch ein wachsendes Umweltbewußtsein gekennzeichnet. Bezogen auf Waschmittel waren die Erneuerungsfähigkeit, biologische Abbaubarkeit und Ökotoxizität die wichtigen Themen dieser Arbeit zur Entwicklung und Anwendung von Tensiden. In dieser Hinsicht sind Rapsmethylesterethoxylate eine interessante neue Klasse von nichtionischen Tensiden, die mehr und mehr Interesse am Markt erlangen. Sie sind in flüssigen Waschmitteln mit hoher Reinigungswirkung einfach zu formulieren und zeigen im Vergleich zu ethoxylierten Fettalkoholen ein günstigeres ökotoxikologisches Profil.
