Definitions

  • the present invention relates to laundry treatment compositions that comprise a dye.
  • WO02/10327 discloses the use of sodium chloride to reduce staining of fabrics.
  • US 3 748 093 discloses a spray dried granule compostion for increasing the apparent whiteness of laundry to a human eye.
  • Dyes are used in detergent powders in order to provide colouring of the powder or shading benefits to white fabrics.
  • One drawback with these powders is that under certain conditions localised spotting occurs on fabric treated with the detergent powder.
  • non-ionic surfactants may be applied to non-ionic surfactant soluble dyes in order to reduce and/or prevent undesired spotting of fabrics by the dye under wash conditions.
  • the present invention is applicable to dyes that are substantive to fabrics.
  • the present invention provides a granule comprising:
  • the granule comprises between 10 to 2.5 wt% of a non-ionic surfactant
  • the binder is present in the range 2 to 10 wt%.
  • the amount of dye dissolved in the non-ionic surfactant is in the range between 0.1 to 2 wt%.
  • the dye has a solubility in the non-ionic surfactant of at least 0.1 wt%, more preferably 1 wt %, and even more preferably at least 5 wt%.
  • the solubility of the dye referred to herein is that to be measured at 25 °C.
  • the dye has a visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on a textile of from 550nm to 650nm.
  • the most preferred is a dye or a mixture thereof that have the visual appearance as blue or violet.
  • the dyes are those substantive to a fabric, in particular cotton and polyester.
  • the present invention provides a laundry composition comprising a granule as defined herein and a method of treating a textile.
  • the present invention provides a method of granulation comprising the steps of:
  • step (ii) and/or step (iii) it is preferred that a binding agent, other than the non-ionic surfactant, is used.
  • a "unit dose” as used herein is a particular amount of the laundry treatment composition used for a type of wash, conditioning or requisite treatment step.
  • the unit dose may be in the form of a defined volume of powder, granules or tablet or unit dose detergent liquid.
  • the dye or mixture of dyes used in the granule of the present invention need to have a solubility % in the non-ionic surfactant, or mixture thereof, of at least 0.1 wt%.
  • the dye individually or as a mixture of dyes preferably have the visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on a textile of from 550nm to 650nm, most preferably from 570nm to 630nm. This visual effect provides the aesthetic appearance of blue to violet-blue which in turn the consumer perceives as whiteness.
  • Preferred dyes for shading polyester are hydrophobic dyes and preferred dyes for shading cotton are: hydrolysed reactive dyes; acid dyes; and direct dyes.
  • the dyes found below may be used individually or in mixture with the present invention and are provided, as example, but are preferred dyes.
  • Hydrophobic dyes are defined as organic compounds with a maximum extinction coefficient greater than 1000 L/mol/cm in the wavelength range of 400 to 750 nm and that are uncharged in aqueous solution at a pH in the range from 7 to 11.
  • the hydrophobic dyes are devoid of polar solubilizing groups. In particular the hydrophobic dye does not contain any sulphonic acid, carboxylic acid, or quaternary ammonium groups.
  • the dye chromophore is preferably selected from the group comprising: azo; anthraquinone; phthalocyanine; benzodifuranes; quinophthalones; azothiophenes; azobenzothioazoles and, triphenylmethane chromophores. Most preferred are azo and anthraquinone dye chromophores.
  • hydrophobic dyes are found in the classes of solvent and disperse dyes.
  • Shading of white garments may be done with any colour depending on consumer preference. Blue and Violet are particularly preferred shades and consequently preferred dyes or mixtures of dyes are ones that give a blue or violet shade on white.
  • suitable solvent and disperse dyes are available. However detailed toxicological studies have shown that a number of such dyes are possible carcinogens, for example disperse blue 1. Such dyes are not preferred. More suitable dyes may be selected from those solvent and disperse dyes used in cosmetics.
