Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mixture for use as a bleaching agent comprising at least one phthalimido percarboxylic acid and at least one inorganic one lithium salt, to a detergent composition comprising said mixture, and to the use of at least one lithium salt for stabilizing a phthalimido percarboxylic acid in a detergent composition.
  • organic peracids have encountered increasing interest in the industrial field, among others due to their excellent properties as bleaching agents in detergent formulations. Therefore, a large number of publications are concerned with organic peracid compounds endowed with the required property of sufficient bleaching activity, said characteristic being essential for an industrial application and a widespread use of such compounds.
  • organic straight-chain or cyclic mono- or dipercarboxylic acids are known and used, e.g. in detergent compositions.
  • boric acid As boric acid has become a chemical of high concern, it is to be expected that boric acid will be banned from use in domestic applications in the near future. Consequently, there is a need for alternative ways of stabilizing phthalimido percarboxylic acids in detergent compositions without making use of boric acid.
  • the present invention satisfies this need by providing a mixture for use as a bleaching agent comprising at least one phthalimido percarboxylic acid and at least one inorganic lithium salt.
  • a mixture for use as a bleaching agent comprising at least one phthalimido percarboxylic acid and at least one inorganic lithium salt.
  • phthalimido percarboxylic acids can be stabilized by inorganic lithium salts. This is rather surprising since it was suggested by the prior art that phthalimido percarboxylic acids if not stabilized degrade following a radical reaction pathway.
  • phthalimido percarboxylic acids in fact degrade by attack of nucleophiles.
  • a plausible degradation scheme of phthalimido peroxyhexanoic acid (phthalimido percaproic acid, PAP) in alkaline conditions is shown in figure 1 .
  • PAP phthalimido percaproic acid

  • the present invention also relates to the mixture described above, characterized in that it comprises at least one inorganic lithium salt.
  • the anion of the at least one lithium salt is rather non-nucleophilic. If the anion in question is too nucleophilic, it is assumed to compete against the lithium cation for interaction with the phthalimido percarboxylic acid.
  • Suitable non-nucleophilic anions for use according to the present invention are hexafluorosilicate (SiF 6 2- ), sulfite (SO 3 2- ), hydrogensulfite (HSO 3 - ), sulfate (SO 4 2- ), hydrogensulfate (HSO 4 - ), phosphate (PO 4 3- ), hydrogenphosphate (HPO 4 2- ), dihydrogenphosphate (H 2 PO 4 - ), tetrafluoro borate (BF 4 - ), tetrachloro borate (BCl 4 - ), tetrabromo borate (BBr 4 - ), tetraiodo borate (Bl 4 - ), tetraphenyl borate (B[C 6 H 5 ] 4 - ), tetra(pentafluoro)phenyl borate (B[C 6 F 5 ] 4 - ), hexafluorophosphate (PF 6 -
