Definitions

• the present invention relates to detergent compositions, particularly to granular detergent compositions having a benefit-agent.
• the invention has been developed primarily for use in granular detergent compositions, and will be described hereinafter with reference to this application. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.
• Detergent products containing surfactants particularly suitable for fabric washing by hand generally have a tendency to produce excessive foam. Foam or suds formation is desired e.g. during the process of hand-washing.
• surfactants provide foaming in the wash water. Not only is the formation of foaming or sudsing desirable, but there is also a desire to readily create foam as well as maintain the foam for a desired duration. For example, it may be desired that the foam occurs immediately upon contact of a detergent composition with water. Although there are various reasons as to why foam formation is desired, one known reason is that consumers who use detergent compositions directly associate the formation of foam with the cleaning ability of the detergent composition.
• foam Although the formation of foam is desired, it may also pose problems during the washing process. For example, drainage of the suds or foam during the washing process may be difficult. Particularly for a machine wash process, the suds or foam may hamper the drainage of the wash solution from the machine before the rinse stage.
• the number of rinse stages is generally proportional to inter-alia the slipperiness of rinse liquor, clarity of rinse liquor and more importantly the amount of foam that is visible. Therefore, having 3-4 cycles of rinses is very common in a normal hand-wash scenario. As people tend to rinse the fabrics till there is no visible foam or at least till there is very little foam, it also leads to usage of a large amount of water. Therefore, it is desired to gradually suppress foam over time. Accordingly, there is a need to produce foaming or sudsing early in the wash process, such as when the detergent composition first comes into contact with water, as well as to suppress/reduce the foam at later stages, especially during rinsing.
• Foam-control agents based on silicones are especially effective in suppressing the foam of many surfactants. Such agents have been disclosed in EP-A 484081 and EP-A-213953 .
• detergent compositions In addition to the basic essential ingredients i.e. surfactants which are required for cleaning the fabrics; detergent compositions generally also include one or more "benefit agents". These agents are added for some specific functions e.g., perfume delivery or retention, fabric whiteness, reduction/prevention of re-deposition of dirt onto cleaned fabrics, release of dirt from soiled fabrics, and reduction in creases.
• WO-A-98/00500 discloses detergent compositions in which the benefit-agent is delivered onto fabrics by means of peptide or protein deposition-aid having high affinity for fabrics.
• the benefit-agent is attached or adsorbed to the peptide or protein deposition-aid.
• the compositions are said to effectively deposit the benefit-agent onto the fabric during the wash cycle.
• the detergent compositions disclosed in WO-A-98/00500 have a few drawbacks.
• the benefit-agent has to be attached/adsorbed to the deposition-aid. If it is to be attached, it is preferably done by means of a linking agent.
• not all benefit agents can be derivatised.
• linking the benefit-agent to the deposition aid may negatively affect the properties of the benefit-agent. For example, perfumes cannot be covalently bound to larger molecules without negatively affecting their perfume properties.
• compositions that includes a benefit-agent and a specific particulate foam control agent provides for relatively lower run-off of the benefit-agent, while washing the fabric with the composition in a conventional manner.
• the present invention provides a detergent composition comprising:
• the present invention provides a process for preparing a detergent composition according to the first aspect, including the steps of:
• the present invention provides a method of washing fabrics comprising the steps of using the detergent composition of the first aspect, and washing in a conventional manner.
• the present invention provides a method for delivering a benefit-agent to a fabric by treating the fabric with the detergent composition according to the first aspect.
• any particular upper concentration can be associated with any particular lower concentration or amount.
• weight% used throughout the specification means percentage by weight.
• foaming means any form of formation of gas bubbles, including sudsing and effervescing. Agitation is not necessary, but may enhance the generation of foam, and thus, may be preferred.
• the particulate foam control agent is released in the rinse-stage and foaming is suppressed or otherwise controlled by decreasing the amount of foam.
• the particulate foam-control agent gets released in the wash-liquor after 10 to 15 minutes.
• the particulate foam-control agent may not reduce the water gas bubbles at the initial stages in the wash, since it may be preferable to maintain the amount of foam for a longer period of time.
• the surfactant is anionic or non-ionic. It is preferred that the surfactant is in the range of 0.5 to 50 weight%, more preferably in the range of 5 to 45 weight%, and most preferably in the range of 10 to 25 weight%. It is preferred that the surfactant is anionic, but it is also preferred that the surfactant is a mixture of anionic and non-ionic surfactants.
• the detergent composition of the present invention may also include one or more additional detergent-active compounds (surfactants) which may be chosen from soap or non-soap cationic, amphoteric and zwitter-ionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. Many suitable surfactants are available and are fully described in the literature, for example, in "Surface-Active Agents and Detergents", Volumes I and II, by Schwartz, Perry and Berch.
