Definitions

  • the present invention relates to detergent compositions.
  • it relates to bleaching detergent compositions suitable for laundry use and especially to bleaching detergent compositions containing organic peroxyacid bleach precursors.
  • the detergent compositions provide safe and effective peroxygen bleaching of textiles over a wide range of temperatures, washing conditions, washing machine and fabric types.
  • peroxygen bleaches The removal of oxidisable stains from either hard surfaces or fabrics by means of peroxygen bleaches at temperatures less than about 60°C is a well known technique and customarily involves the use of organic peroxy acids.
  • the most commonly used peroxy acid is peracetic acid, normally generated in situ in the bleaching or laundry liquor by the reaction of alkaline hydrogen peroxide with a peroxy acid precursor (the so-called bleach activator).
  • bleaches and bleach activators of the "hydrophobic" class can have an adverse effect on certain varieties of water-insoluble polymer-based substrates, typically those containing unsaturated moieties or having a high degree of polymer cross-linking. Although the reasons for this are not fully understood, the effect appears to be associated with a side-reaction to the main bleaching process involving a single-electron, free radical mechanism.
  • peroxygen bleaches and bleach activators both of the "hydrophobic" and peracetic acid precursor classes, can have an adverse effect on the color fidelity of fabrics washed therewith.
  • the present invention therefore provides bleaching and detergent compositions incorporating a hydrophobic bleach activator component and which is safe and effective to use over the full range of usage conditions and substrate types, inclusive of those containing unsaturated or cross-linked polymeric moieties.
  • the invention also provides bleaching detergent compositions which have improved safety on colored fabrics and which in addition displays excellent dye transfter inhibition activity.
