Definitions
- bleaching agent various stains or soils on fabrics, textiles and hard surfaces are oxidized. Because of their oxidizing power peroxygen bleaching compounds like hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate have been found very useful in bleach formulations.
- additive of certain organic compounds, including activators such as tetracetyl ethylene diamine (TAED), to for instance perborate bleaches can improve the bleaching performance because of the formation of peracids.
- activators such as tetracetyl ethylene diamine (TAED)
- TAED tetracetyl ethylene diamine
- EP-A-206 390 discloses the inclusion of a certain, immunologically defined class of lipases in a detergent composition which comprises a mixture of an anionic and a nonionic detergent.
- lipase shows a good activity, also in dry matrixes containing a high bleach level, it appears however that when a protease (for instance Savinase® 4.0 T, ex Novo) is added the lipase activity becomes much more prone to the attack by the protease.
- a protease for instance Savinase® 4.0 T, ex Novo
- EP-A-415 652 describes enzyme-containing oxidant bleach compositions providing enzyme stability during prolonged storage in the presence of oxidants, while supporting enzyme solubility.
- the improved product is prepared by coating or encapsulating the enzyme with a water soluble alkali metal silicate coating including at least one protective agent being selected from transition metals andlor reducing agents.
- US-A-4,106,991 describes improved formation of enzymes granulates through inclusion within the composition of finely divided cellulose fibres.
- Waxy substance can optionally be employed for the granulating agent or to coat the granulate.
- detergent compositions or additives with a high level of bleach, a lipase and a double coated protease deliver an excellent performance profile with respect to lipolytic activity.
- a lipase and a double coated protease for instance Savinase R 4.0 CT +, ex Novo
- the lipolytic activity remains more or less the same as in the situation that no protease at all is present in the composition or additive. This is clearly evidenced by the dingy cleaning and bleachable stain removal performances while the significant advantage for enzymatic stain removal by the proteolytic enzyme is maintained.
- the present invention thus relates to a detergent composition or additive comprising a bleach activator, a high level of bleach delivering an available active oxygen in the composition from 3% to 11% by weight and a lipase, characterized by further comprising a double coated protease.
- bleach activation mechanism achieved via for instance maleic acrylic copolymer or anhydrides and lipase, continues to work with a very high efficiency.
- Activation systems will complement the actions of known bleach activators such as TAED, NOBS, BOBS, iso NOBS, PAG, TAGU, sulfonimines, metalloporphyrines, organo complexes of manganese, quarternary ammonium or phosphonium bleach precursors such as (trimethyl ammonium toluoyloxybenzene sulphonate) or acetylated glycerol fatty esters. They will also complement the actions of preformed peracids such as DPDA, NAPAA, PAP (N,N Phtaloylimidopercaproic acid), mono and dicarboxylic acids.
- Dry compositions including a hydrogen peroxide source perborate, percarbonate, etc.
- liquid compositions including hydrogen peroxide in itself can have significantly enhanced bleaching activation if they also include anhydrides and lipase.
- Anhydrides commercially available like succinic and maleic are indicative for the inclusion in a dry bleach composition in conjunction with lipase. However, other anhydrides not having a cyclic or even a symmetric structure can also be included.
- Polymeric anhydrides are also very suitable as well as co-polymers including anhydride monomers.
- Acrylic acid and maleic anhydrides co-polymers are preferred in this respect.

- the selected polyesters herein contain about 46% by weight of dimethyl terephtalic acid, about 16% by weight of propane -1.2 diol, about 10% by weight ethylene glycol about 13% by weight of dimethyl sulfobenzoid acid and about 15% by weight of sulfoisophtalic acid, and have a molecular weight of about 3.000.
- the polyesters and their method of preparation are described in detail in EPA 311 342.
- Certain polymeric materials such as polyvinyl pyrrolidones typically of MW 5000-20000, preferably 10000-15000, also form useful agents in preventing the transfer of labile dyestuffs between fabrics during the washing process.
- Fabric softening agents can also be incorporated into detergent compositions in accordance with the present invention. These agents may be inorganic or organic in type. Inorganic softening agents are exemplified by the smectite clays disclosed in GB-A-1,400,898. Organic fabric softening agents include the water-insoluble tertiary amines as disclosed in GB-A-1514276 and EP-B-0 011 340 and their combination with mono C12-C14 quaternary ammonium salts are disclosed in EP-B-0 026 527 and EP-B-0 026 528 and di-long-chain amides as disclosed in EP-B-0 242 919. Other useful organic ingredients of fabric softening systems include high molecular weight polyethylene oxide materials as disclosed in EP-A-0 299 575 and 0 313 146.
- Levels of smectite clay are normally in the range from 5% to 20%, more preferably from 8% to 15% by weight with the material being added as a dry mixed component to the remainder of the formulation.
- Organic fabric softening agents such as the water-insoluble tertiary amines or di-long-chain amide materials are incorporated at levels of from 0.5% to 5% by weight, normally from 1% to 3% by weight whilst the high molecular weight polyethylene oxide materials and the water-soluble cationic materials are added at levels of from 0.1% to 2%, normally from 0.15% to 1.5% by weight.
- These materials are normally added to the spray dried portion of the composition, although in some instances it may be more convenient to add them as a dry mixed particulate, or spray them as a molten liquid on to other solid components of the composition.
- compositions according to the present invention can be made via a variety of methods including dry mixing, spray drying, agglomeration and granulation and combinations of any of these techniques.
- the compositions according to the present invention can be prepared with different bulk densities, from conventional granular products to so-called "concentrated" products (i.e. with a bulk density above 600g/l).
- Tests were conducted in a European washing machine at 40C° with medium water hardness 239,4 ppm (14g/Us gallon). For each wash cycle 70 g of each formulation was added to the wash on top of 170 g of powder detergents. Each result is an average of 6 replicates done with each product tested. All results represent a comparison of the cleaning results achieved with Al or A2 (described above) vs. a common reference which is a commonly used dry bleach composition based on perborate and sold in Southern Europe (Ace Color).
- results from 0 to 0.5 units indicate that there is no visible difference between the removal achieved with the reference and the test product.
- Results from 0.6 to 1.0 units indicate that there is a small, but visible difference between the removal delivered by the reference and the test product.
- Results from 1.1 to 2.0 units indicate that the two products deliver removals that are clearly different and easily detectable by eyesight. Positive results indicate better removal vs. the reference.
- lipolase® 100 T and/or different types of savinase® to a matrix not containing any bleach (100% sodium sulphate) and to a matrix containing a high level of bleach e.g. like Al or A2. Results are as follows : 0.5% lipolase 0.5% lipolase 0.5% lipolase 0.5% lipolase 0.5% savinase 4.0T 0.5% savinase 4.0 CT+ Sodium sulphate matrix 0.50 0.50 0.52 High level bleach matrix 0.44 0.26 0.45
- the coating is generally composed by polyethyleneglycol 4000 (PEG) and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and a cellulose derivative.
- the coating material may also contain other ingredients working as fillers, coating or granulating agents, antioxidants (e.g. Na 2 SO 4 ,CaCO 3 ,NaCl, talc, TiO 2 , magnesium silicate, sorbitol or copolymers of acrylic acid or metacrylic acid and other units).
- the very good compatibility betwee savinase® 4.0 CT +, and lipolase® is may be due to the high level of PEG and/or PVP included in the coating.
- PEG and PVP are materials that can deliver under specific conditions a reversible inhibition effect on savinase and thus enhances probably the compatibility with lipolase.
- lipolase® stabilization when the protease inhibiting ingredients (like PEG and/or PVP) are incorporated in the coating of lipolase itself instead of in the coating of the protease is part of our invention.
