Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid bleaching composition which is suitable for laundry applications including hand washing as well as washing with automatic washing machines.
- Liquid bleaching compositions are well-known in the art. Amongst the different bleaching compositions available, those relying on bleaching by hypochlorite are often preferred, mainly for performance reasons, especially at lower temperature.
- hypochlorite bleaches there are some limitations to the convenience of hypochlorite bleaches.
- an alkaline liquid composition comprising an alkali metal hypochlorite or mixtures thereof and a pH buffering means with low sensitivity to water hardness, i.e. a pH buffering means which, when used in a 1M solution at pH 10, requires more than 2.5 mM of calcium ion, in order to cause precipitation at 25°C of the calcium salt of the alkali anion of said pH buffering means.
- Said composition allows to provide improved fabric whiteness and/or improved fabric safety on the fabrics treated therewith, as compared to the same composition without said pH buffering means with low sensitivity to water hardness according to the present invention.
- liquid hypochlorite bleach-containing compositions comprise said pH buffering means with low sensitivity to water hardness together with a precipitation agent like carbonate salt and/or silicate salt
- a pH buffering means with low sensitivity to water hardness together with a precipitation agent like silicate salt and/or carbonate salt in a hypochlorite bleaching composition results in a complementary effect on fabric whiteness performance and/or fabric safety performance.
- compositions of the present invention allow to provide outstanding fabric whitening action and/or fabric safety properties without compromising on the stain removal performance on different types of stains including bleachable stains (e.g. coffee), enzymatic stains (e.g. blood) and greasy stains (e.g. lipstick).
- bleachable stains e.g. coffee
- enzymatic stains e.g. blood
- greasy stains e.g. lipstick
- compositions of the present invention are suitable for the bleaching of different types of fabrics including natural fabrics, (e.g., fabrics made of cotton, viscose, linen, silk and wool), synthetic fabrics such as those made of polymeric fibers of synthetic origin as well as those made of both natural and synthetic fibers.
- natural fabrics e.g., fabrics made of cotton, viscose, linen, silk and wool
- synthetic fabrics such as those made of polymeric fibers of synthetic origin as well as those made of both natural and synthetic fibers.
- the compositions of the present invention may be used on synthetic fibers despite a standing prejudice against using hypochlorite bleaches on synthetic fibers, as evidenced by warnings on labels of commercially available hypochlorite bleaches and clothes.
- liquid compositions according to the present invention comprising a pH buffering means with low sensitivity to water hardness allow a prolonged through-the-bleach buffering action, i.e. to maintain the pH of the bleaching solution as high as possible during the whole bleaching cycle from the moment the dilution is completed, without increasing the pH of the compositions per se as compared to the same compositions but without said pH buffering means.
- compositions comprising hypochlorite and pH buffering means have been described in the art.
- WO 88/05462 discloses a composition for removing stains from fabrics comprising an aqueous solution of trisodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite and a buffer to maintain a pH of between about 10 and 12 such a sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate or mixtures thereof.
- WO 88/ 05462 further discloses that it is preferred that the buffer system employed holds the pH as close to pH 10 as possible, consistent with effective stain removal to provide a product which is more gentle to skin and fabrics than a higher pH.
- WO 88/0562 also discloses a process of removing stains from fabrics with said compositions.
- pH buffering means having a low sensitivity to water hardness as described herein are nowhere disclosed in WO 88/05462.
- EP-A-622 451 discloses compositions suitable for use in diluted form, comprising hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, a bleach stable perfume and as a buffering system whereby the pH of the diluted composition is buffered to a constant value throughout use, carbonate and/or silicate.

- pH buffering means allows to reduce the conversion of hypochlorite into hypochlorous acid, one of the species which are most responsible for the fabric damage and/or fabric whiteness, thereby providing improved fabric safety and/or fabric whiteness.
- improved fabric whiteness it is meant herein that the whiteness on fabric achieved by using the hypochlorite compositions of the present invention is improved compared to the whiteness obtained by using the same hypochlorite compositions without said pH buffering means or by using the same compositions but with another ingredient acting as a pH buffering means such as carbonate salts and/or silicate salts instead of said pH buffering means according to the present invention.
- a pH buffering means such as carbonate salts and/or silicate salts instead of said pH buffering means according to the present invention.
- Fabric safety may be evaluated by different test methods including the copper number test.
- the copper number on a fabric is proportional to the amount of aldehydic groups derived from the oxydation of cellulose and therefore is proportional to the fabric damage.
- the copper number test can consist in measuring the number of grams of copper which are reduced from cupric to the cuprous state by 100 g of cellulose.
- Fe+++ ions is added so as to form ferrous sulphate in an amount exactly equivalent to the cuprous oxide present.
- Fe2(SO4)3 + Cu2O + H2SO4 2FeSO4 + H2SO4 + 2CuSO4
- ferrous sulphate is measured by titration with 0.1N potassium permanganate that oxide Fe++ (ferrous) ions to Fe+++ (ferric) ions.
- Fabric safety may also be evaluated by the tensile strength loss test. This method consists in measuring the tensile strength of a given fabric by pulling said fabrics until they break. The force, expressed in Kg, necessary to break said fabrics is the "ultimate tensile stress" and may be measured with "the stress-strain Instron tensilometer". The lower the force needed to break said fabrics, the less fabric damage is caused on the fabrics.

- composition according to the present invention may further comprise as an optional but preferred ingredient a precipitation agent.
- a precipitation agent Particularly useful to be used herein are alkali metal salts of carbonates, polycarbonates, sesquicarbonates, silicates, polysilicates or mixtures thereof.
- the preferred alkali metal salts to be used herein are sodium and potassium.
- Particularly preferred precipitation agents are alkali metal salts of silicate and/or carbonate.
- the preferred alkali metal salts of silicate and carbonates are sodium silicate and sodium carbonate, both of which are commercially available, or mixtures thereof.

- said precipitation agent allows to reduce or even eliminate the impurities both in said compositions as is and especially in the bleaching environment.
- Said impurities include calcium, magnesium as well as heavy metal ions such as Cu, Fe, Ni, Co and the like, which have been found to adversely affect both fabric whiteness and fabric safety.
- metal ions catalyse the attack of hypochlorite on fabrics with the generation of yellow oxidised species. It is further speculated that said metal ions are adsorbed per se on oxidised fabrics as coloured species and catalyse the degradation of the brighteners adsorbed on fabrics. Also said metal ions stabilise colored pigments of enzymatic stains such as blood and grass. Also metal ions catalyse the depolymerisation of cotton fibres which leads to reduced tensile strength of the fabrics, thereby reducing fabrics resistance.
- the precipitation agents according to the present invention may also act as pH buffering means, completing thereby the pH buffering action of the pH buffering means according to the present invention.
- compositions according to the present invention may further comprise other optional ingredients such as bleach-stable surfactants, organic or inorganic alkalis, pigments, dyes, optical brighteners, solvents, chelating agents, radical scavengers and the like.
