  • the present invention relates to aqueous emulsions comprising a hydrophobic liquid ingredient.
  • bleaching compositions if they comprise a hydrophobic ingredient like a bleach activator, as an emulsion of nonionic surfactants, see for instance EP-A- 598 1 70.

  • liquid compositions comprising hydrophobic ingredients e.g. bleaching compositions comprising bleach activators
  • hydrophobic liquid ingredients like bleach activators or aqueous insoluble or sparingly soluble organic peroxy acids are problematic to use in an aqueous composition as said composition tends to separate into two different layer phases which can be visualised by the consumer. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a composition comprising a hydrophobic liquid ingredient, especially a bleaching composition comprising a hydrophobic liquid ingredient, with improved physical stability.
  • the present invention meets the above object in proposing an aqueous emulsion having a pH of not more than 7, comprising a hydrophobic liquid ingredient emulsified in said emulsion by a mixture of a hydrophilic amine oxide surfactant and a hydrophobic surfactant.
  • hydrophilic amine oxide surfactant gives to an emulsion comprising a hydrophobic liquid ingredient such as a bleach activator and/or a hydrophobic source of active oxygen, and a hydrophobic surfactant an increased physical stability, compared to the same emulsion without said hydrophilic amine oxide surfactant or to the same emulsion but with another hydrophilic surfactant like a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant instead of said hydrophilic amine oxide surfactant.
  • an advantage of the present invention is that it allows for great flexibility in formulating. Indeed, the present invention allows to incorporate any kind of hydrophobic liquid ingredient such as a hydrophobic source of active oxygen (e.g., diperdodecanoic acid) and/or a bleach activator, in an aqueous composition through emulsification.

  • first and said second steps can be performed in any order, i.e. second step first is also suitable.
  • said hydrophobic mixture and said hydrophilic mixture are mixed together.
  • Emulsions are made which comprise the listed ingredients in the listed proportions (weight %).
  • compositions I to V were obtained which were stable emulsions, both from a chemical and a physical standpoint. Also, these emulsions deliver excellent cleaning performance on hard-surfaces and in laundry application.
  • compositions I to V are each made by preparing two mixtures.
  • a hydrophilic mixture is prepared which comprises the water, the amine oxide surfactant, citric acid if present, methanesulfonic acid if present, and sulfuric acid if present. Hydrogen peroxide, if present or monopersulfate, if present is added in said hydrophilic mixture as last step.
  • a hydrophobic mixture is prepared which comprises Dobanol R 91 -2.5 and acetyl triethyl citrate, if present and dibenzoyl peroxide, if present.
  • hydrophobic mixture is poured into said hydrophilic mixture, while mixing.
