Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a detergent composition for effective stain removal.
  • the invention has been developed primarily for use in 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.
  • Builders are added to the detergent composition primarily to complex with Ca +2 and Mg 2+ and thereby reduce hardness of water. In addition to removing Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions, some builders also emulsify soil particles, reduce soil re-deposition by suspending the soil in the wash liquor and provide alkalinity which assists in dissolving oil-based soils. Use of an ineffective builder or the use of an ineffective amount of a builder lessens the cleaning performance of surfactants.
  • Sodium tripolyphosphate is a phosphate type sequestering builder which, in addition to removing the dissolved ions, helps disperse and suspend soil in the wash liquor and emulsifies oily material. For this reason phosphates such as tripolyphosphates and pyrophosphates have been widely used as builders. The effect of phosphates upon the eutrophication of lakes and streams has been questioned and their use in detergent compositions has been subject to government scrutiny and regulation.
  • Zeolites, used as alternative builders are ion-exchange builders which provide benefits comparable to phosphate builders but are not desirable as they are water insoluble and can foul sewer lines and water treatment facilities.
  • Precipitating builders for example sodium carbonate
  • Precipitating builders are environment friendly and removes Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions as precipitated calcium and magnesium particles.
  • Use of precipitating builders may reduce the cleaning activity by deposition of precipitated calcium and magnesium particles on the fabric.
  • precipitating builders have slow Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions removal efficiency and are ineffective at completely preventing precipitation of surfactants owing to their reaction with calcium and magnesium ions. This further reduces the cleaning efficiency of detergent composition having precipitating builders.
  • Bleaches are yet another widely used ingredient in the detergent composition that removes stain.
  • Peroxygen bleach compounds can bleach stains without damaging the colour of the fabrics and hence are widely used.
  • To bleach stains at temperature below 60°C requires bleach activators in combination with peroxygen bleach compounds.
  • stains are oxidized and broken into fragments which are later suspended in the solution by the surfactant.
  • a lowered efficiency of surfactant in presence of precipitating builder may also affect the bleach efficiency. Presence of clay or soil on the fabric further reduces bleaching of hydrophobic stains.
  • Detergent compositions having peroxygen bleach compound and hydrophobic bleach activator are known in the art.
  • US5043089 (1991, Akzo N.V) discloses a novel p-sulphophenyl alkyl carbonates where the alkyl group contains 6 to 10 carbon atoms providing an effective bleach activator.
  • This application also discloses a detergent composition having the bleach activator, a bleaching agent and a surfactant.
  • This application does not disclose a detergent composition having non-phosphate builders for providing effective stain removal.
  • GB2395488A discloses a process of removing coloured stains from hydrophobic surfaces by treating with a formulation having a salt of sulphophenyl alkyl carbonate.
  • the formulation may additionally include an oxygen source, a builder, a surfactant and preferably encapsulated enzyme.
  • This application discloses detergent compositions having phosphate builders.
  • a detergent composition having a combination of specific bleach activator, a non-phosphate precipitating builder and an enzyme provides for effective removal of stains particularly the tough hydrophobic stains.
  • the present invention provides a detergent composition comprising:
  • the present invention provides for a method of bleaching a bleachable substrate comprising the steps of:
  • the third aspect disclosed is a use of the detergent composition of the first aspect for bleaching tough hydrophobic stains.
  • the invention provides a detergent composition having a precipitating builder, a surfactant, a bleach activator and an enzyme.
  • Builders used in the detergent composition may be classified in various ways.
  • One method of classification of detergent builders is based on their mode of action and includes classification into sequestering, precipitating and ion-exchange builders.
  • Another conventional method of classification of detergent builders is to classify them as inorganic and organic detergent builders.
  • Yet another method of classification is based on their solubility in water and is accordingly classified as water soluble or water insoluble builders.
  • Disclosed detergent composition includes a precipitating builder.
  • precipitating builders In contact with the ions Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ generally present in the wash liquor precipitating builders precipitate out as a complex with the water hardness cations (Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ), thereby performing a builder function.
  • Specific examples of precipitating builders include sodium fatty acid sulphonate, long chain fatty acid soaps, water-soluble salts of carbonates, bicarbonates, sesquicarbonates, silicates, aluminates and oxalates. Alkali metal salts, especially sodium salts of the foregoing materials are preferred for convenience and economy.

  • a crystallization seed may be used in the detergent composition along with the precipitating builder; such crystallization seed quickens the rate of precipitation of the metal cations, and thereby removes the hardness before it can adversely affect detergency performance.

  • Disclosed detergent composition includes 0 to 5 wt% of zeolites. It is preferred that the detergent composition of the present invention not more than 4wt%, further preferably not more than 2wt% of zeolites and highly preferred composition is free of the zeolite builders.
