Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of laundry detergents with activated bleaching systems.
  • peroxygen bleaches are effective for stain and/or soil removal from fabrics, but that such bleaches are temperature dependent. At a wash liquor temperature of 60°C, peroxygen bleaches are only partially effective As the wash liquor temperature is lowered below 60°C, peroxygen bleaches become relatively ineffective, As a consequence, there has been a substantial amount of industrial research to develop bleaching systems which contain an activator that renders peroxygen bleaches effective at wash liquor temperatures below 60°C.
  • TAED tetraacetyl ethylene diamine
  • NOBS nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate
  • many of the hydrophobic activators developed thus far can promote damage to natural rubber parts used in certain washing machines Because of these negative effects on washing machine parts, the selection of such detergent-added bleaching systems has long been limited.
  • DAP diacylperoxide
  • the class of hydrophobic bleach activators derived from amido acids forms hydrophobic amido peracids upon perhydrolysis without the production of harmful, oily DAP's.
  • the DAP's produced by the perhydrolysis reaction of the amido acid-derived bleach activators are insoluble crystalline solids. Such solid DAP's do not form a coating film. Accordingly, the natural rubber machine parts are not exposed to the DAP's for extended periods of time and remain substantially undamaged by the bleaching system of the present invention.
  • the present invention thus solves the long-standing need for an effective hydrophobic bleaching system which does not promote free radical and peroxide damage to natural rubber parts in washing machines.

  • the bleaching system employed in the present invention provides effective and efficient surface bleaching of fabrics which thereby removes stains and/or soils, including "dingy" soils, from the fabrics.
  • Dingy soils are soils that build up on fabrics after numerous cycles of usage and washing and, thus, eventually cause white fabrics to have a gray or yellow tint. These soils tend to be a blend of particulate and greasy materials. The removal of this type of soil is sometimes referred to as "dingy fabric clean up".
  • the bleaching systems and activators herein afford additional advantages in that, unexpectedly, they are safer to fabrics and cause less color damage than other activators when used in the manner provided by this invention.
  • the bleaching mechanism and, in particular, the surface bleaching mechanism are not completely understood.

This reaction is commonly referred to as perhydrolysis.
  • the bleach activators within the invention can render peroxygen bleaches more efficient even at wash liquor temperatures wherein bleach activators are not necessary to activate the bleach, i.e., above 60°C. Therefore, with bleach systems of the invention, less peroxygen bleach is required to get the same level of surface bleaching performance as is obtained with the peroxygen bleach alone.

  • a group to be a suitable leaving group it must exert an electron attracting effect. It should also form a stable entity so that the rate of the back reaction is negligible. This facilitates the nucleophilic attack by the perhydroxide anion.
