Definitions
- This invention relates to dye granules, a laundry composition comprising dye granules and a method for preparing said granules and said composition.
- WO 2005/003274 describes a laundry treatment composition which comprises a surfactant and from 0.0001 to 0.1 wt % of a combination of dyes which together have a visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on cotton of from 540 nm to 650 nm, preferably from 570 nm to 630 nm, the combination comprising a photostable dye which is substantive to cotton.
- a dye or combination of dyes may be referred to as a shading dye.
- WO 2005/003275 teaches that such a shading dye may be incorporated into a treatment composition in a variety of ways. For example, dyes that are not sensitive to heat may be included in a slurry and spray dried. Alternatively, the dye may be incorporated into granules that are post-dosed to a detergent powder. However, it has been found at higher concentrations of shading dye in the granules of this type that there could be a danger of spotting and dye damage on the clothes. WO 2005/003275 suggests that these problems may be avoided if the concentration of dye in the granules is less than 0.1 wt %.

WO 2005/003274 describes a laundry treatment composition which comprises a surfactant and from 0.0001 to 0.1 wt % of a combination of dyes which together have a visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on cotton of from 540 nm to 650 nm, preferably from 570 nm to 630 nm, the combination comprising a photostable dye which is substantive to cotton. Such a dye or combination of dyes may be referred to as a shading dye. -
WO 2005/003275 teaches that such a shading dye may be incorporated into a treatment composition in a variety of ways. For example, dyes that are not sensitive to heat may be included in a slurry and spray dried. Alternatively, the dye may be incorporated into granules that are post-dosed to a detergent powder. However, it has been found at higher concentrations of shading dye in the granules of this type that there could be a danger of spotting and dye damage on the clothes.WO 2005/003275 suggests that these problems may be avoided if the concentration of dye in the granules is less than 0.1 wt %. -
