Abstract

A concentrated alkaline isotropic fabric washing liquid detergent composition comprising at least 23 % of surfactants and further comprising at least 0.2 %
hydrogen peroxide bleach, the composition is substantially free from hydrotropes which cause the pH to reduce and impair the effectiveness of the composition. Also a concentrated alkaline isotropic fabric washing liquid detergent composition comprising at least 15 % by weight of surfactant further comprises at least 0.2 % by weight hydrogen peroxide bleach and an optical brightener and is also substantially free from hydrotropes. The compositions may be used as a main wash bleaching liquid or a pretreatment liquid and may be activated with a bleach activator.

Description

CONCENTRATED ALK~INE ISOTROPIC
DETERGENT LIQUID WITH BLEACH

5 This invention relates to conce~ Led aLkaline isotropic fabric washing Liquid detergents with hydrogen peroxide bleach Conc~ ed alkaline isotropic fabric washing liquid d~l~d~ usually contain a hy~o~upe to allow 10 a high surfactant level to be used without the viscosity becoming too great Typical hydrotropes are sodium xylene sulphonate, ethanol, and propylene glycol. International application WO 96/30483 contains such compositions comprising a rr~ixture of nonionic surfactant and anionic surfactant together ~Mth a hydrotrope and hydrogen peroxide characterised in that the composition comprises greater than 40% total surfactant when nonionic rich or greater than 20% total surfactant when 15 anionic rich. A concentrated peroxide liquid is desirable because of the reduced transport and storage costs A solution to the problem of how to formulate stable concentrated alkaline isotropic fabric washing liquid detergents with peroxide has eluded those skilled in the art for many years 20 Although there are many pllblir~tions of concentrated alkaLine isotropic fabric washing Liquid d~d form~ ions collL~ii,1g a hyd~ollupe, there are very few indeed that disclose hydrotrope-free f~rnallations. The closest prior art is probably the 15% anionic (secondary alkane sulphonate) and 3.75% nonionic (prirnary alcohol ethoxylate (7EO)) composition disclosed in WO96/01311.
- This form~ tion had a total surfactant level below 20%. Furthermore, this composition did not 25 contain additional ingredients such as optical brightener, anti-redeposition or anti-dye transfer agent which renders the composition uns ~itable for use as a practical concentrated alkaline isotropic fabric washing liquid detergent with hydrogen peroxide bleach.

30 Thickened peroxide compositions are also known. These contain a thickening system to boost viscosity when only low levels of surfactant are present. GB 2255507 is typical and discloses a AMENDED SHEEI

thickened peroxide-containing composition with less than 10% surfactant. These composirions are not suitable for use as laundry detergents. They are thickened in order to give the desired result of a squeezable composition that does not run when put on to a vertical su~face. Such compositions do not contain a hydrotrope and always contain less than 10% total surfactant. A skiUed person - 5 would not use these thickened hydrotrope-free compositions as a starting point for the formulation of a new concentrated fabric washing detergent.

We have now found that the presence of a hydrotrope has a large and very undesirable negative 10 effect on the storage stability of concentrated aU~line isotropic fabric washing liquid d~e~ s, particularly we have found that this is a problem for compositions cull~ing high levels of surfactant. This is a problem for the formulation of concellLI~ed liquid detergents because conventionally such detergents contain hydrotropes. In this specification concel~ ed means that the liquid in its undiluted state contains more than 15% and ~ r~l~bly at least 20% and most 15 ,I"~r~ y at least 23% total surfactant. Unless stated otherwise aU percentages are on a w/w basis.

According to the present invention there is provided a conc~ Led aU~aline isotropic fabric washing liquid detergent composition comprising a total surfactant level which includes at least 15%
20 surfactants and further complises at least 0.2% hydrogen peroxide bleach and an optical brightener, cha~cterised in that the composition is substantiaUy free from hydrotropes. It is preferred that the colll~ ition has no added hydrotrope whatsoever. A smaU presence of up to 2.5% preferably less than 1.5%, and most preferably less than 0.5% of a material which may function as a hydrotrope may be present perhaps as a result of one of the ingredients of the composition colllail~i lg this 25 material as a minor constituent or impurity. Such ingredients are advantageously avoided as they probably compromise the shelf life of the composition, however, for an otherwise very stable composition the loss in pe-rullllance due to a very smaU amount of material which may function as a hy ;11 oLI upe may still leave an acceptable shelf life. SubstantiaUy free from h~ 1~ U~l opes is in this specification defined to mean that materials which may function as hydrotropes are present at a concentration of less than 2.5%"~ r~l~bly less than 1.5%, and most preferably less than 0.5%.
