Description
6 0 011 2 The present invention relates to stable liquid diperoxyacid bleach compositions useful for bleaching V fabrics, hard surfaces and other substrates™ The compositions contain water-insoluble aliphatic diperoxyacid 5 particles, C^- C.^ linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfac tant , cumene sulfonate as an optional ingredient, magnesium sulfate# sodium or potassium sulfate as an opti onal ingredient,, and water. The compositions also have a pH of from 2 to 4.5 and a viscosity of from 10 50 to 1000 mPa.s at 20°C. The ingredients are combined at certain carefully balanced levels and ratios,, as hereinafter described,. to provide compositions exhibiting good physical and chemical stability.
European Patent Application 160,342, Humphreys et 15 al, published November 6, 1985, discloses aqueous liquid bleaching compositions containing organic peroxyacid particles suspended in an acidic surfactant-structured liquid. The disclosed conpositions do not contain magnesium sulphate.
U.S. Patent 3,996»152, . Edwards et ai» issued 20 December 7, 1976,, discloses stable, low-pH gels contain ing peroxyacid bleach particles and a non-starch thicken" ing agent.
U.S. Patent 4,100,095, Hutchins* issued July 11, 1978, discloses the stabilisation of peroxyacid bleaches 25 by the use of certain exotherro control agents.
Despite the above attempts to stabilize liquid diperoxyacid bleaching compositions,, there is © continuing need for the development of physically and chemically ^ stable liquid diperoxyacid bleaches having a high level 13 I? of diperoxyacid and a low viscosity. i 3 The present invention relates to a stable liquid bleach composition comprising* by weight: (a) from 10% to 25% of water-insoluble diperoxyacid particles of the formula HOOOC (CH2)nCOOOH, wherein n is from 7 to 14, said particles having an average sise of from 0.5 to 15 micrometers| (b) from 2% to 6%, on an acid basis,, of a water-soluble -j -C j 3 linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant; (c) from 0% to 8%, on an acid basis, of a water-soluble cumene sulfonate; (d) from 0% to 7% sodium or potassium sulfate; and (e) from 40% to 78% water; characterized in that it further contains from 5% to 15% of magnesium sulfate,, provided that the total of (b) and (c) is 3% to 14%, the total of magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate is from 5% to 16%, the total of (b), (c), magnesium sulfate,, sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate is from 12% to 30%; the weight ratio of {&) to magnesium sulfate being less than 3i1; and said composition having a pH of from 2 to 4.5 and a viscosity of from 50 to 1000 mPa.s at 20 C, the viscosity being measured with an LTV Brookfield Viscometer, using a Mo.3 spindle and a setting of 60 rpm.
The liquid bleach compositions herein contain water-insoluble aliphatic diperoxyacid particles, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant,, cumene sulfonate as an optional ingredient f magnesium sulfate, sodium or potassium sulfate as an optional ingredient and water. These essential ingredients are combined at certain carefully balanced levels and ratios to obtain corapos.itions having a high level of peroxyacid bleach,, low product viscosity, and good physical and chemical stability™ The compositions generally remain as stable i suspensions having little or no separation of ingredients during storage» preferably for as long as 2 months at room temperature. The compositions also have chemical (i.e., peroxyacid) stability of at least about 801,, with 5 the preferred compositions having at least about 90% stability after 2 months storage at room temperature.
The compositions of the present invention have a pFf £, of from 2 to 4.5, preferably from 2.5 to 4, roost preferably from 3 to 3-5, when measured at 20°C for best peroxyacid bleach stability.
The compositions also have a viscosity of from 50 to 1000 mPa.s, preferably from 60 to 750 mPa.s, more preferably from 75 to 500 mPa.s, 15 and most preferably from 100 to 350 mPa.s, at °C„ when measured with an LTV Brookfield Viscometer,, using a No. 3 spindle and a setting of SO rpm. This relatively low viscosity is desired for convenient pouring from a container by the user. 20 The compositions of the present invention contain from 10% to 25%, preferably from 12% to 22%, more preferably from 14% to 20%, most preferably from 15% to 20%, by weight, of water-insoluble diperoxyacid particles of the formula HOOOC IC'H ' COOOHtherein a is from <&■ i* 7 to 14# preferably from 3 to 12. The particles have an average size of from 0.5 to 15, preferably from 0.5 to 10, micrometers. A particularly preferred material is 1, 12-diperoxy-30 dodecanedioic acid iJDPDA!.
The compositions contain from 21 to 6%, preferably from 21 to 4%, by weight on an acid basis,, of a water-soluble (e.g., alkali metal# ammonium or alkylolajnmonium) linear alkylbenzene f- sulfonate ■ surfactant. The alkylbenzene sulfonate contributes to physical stability by dispersing the *' peroxyacid particles- However, since it also increases product viscosity, particularly when used at higher levels within the claimed range and when shorter carbon chain {e.g., C,, or C^l alkylbenzene sulfonates are 5 selected, the type and level of alkylbenzene sulfonate must be selected along with the other ingredients herein to provide the desired viscosity. The alkylbenzene sulfonates are particularly preferred.
The compositions can also contain from 01 to 10 8%f preferably from 1% to 6%# most preferably from 2% to 5%, by weight on an acid basis,, of a. water-soluble (e.g., alkali metal, ammonium or alkylolammoniumj cumene sulfonate, Cumene sulfonate also functions as a dispersant for the peroxyacid particles, 15 and it significantly decreases viscosity, 2t thus can serve as a thinning agent and as a partial replacement for the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant.
In certain compositions, the cumene sulfonate represents from 0% to 4%,, preferably from 1% to 3%, by weight on an acid basis, of the composition* The bleach compositions herein further contain from 5% to 15%, preferably from 8% to 12%-, by weight, of magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate helps to suspend the diperoxyacid. particles via 25 density matching in range of from 1.15 to I-22 g/rnl, Magnesium sulfate also functions as an effective exotherm control agent in the present compositions..
The compositions further contain from 0% to 30 7%, preferably from 2% to 6%, by weight, of sodium sulfate or potassium sulfate. Sodium and potassium sulfate, and to a lesser extent the cumene sulfonate, can be used to help match the density of, and thereby suspend, the peroxyacid particles® Mixtures ot 35 sodium or potassium sulfate? cumene sulfonate and magnesium sulfate are preferred to avoid adding excessive magnesium hardness to the wash water. The mixture of these salts also appears to be mors effective at physically stabilising the peroxyacid particles since less of the mixture is required to stabilize .the 5 composition than when magnesium sulfate alone is used.
However, sodium and potassium sulfate significantly increase viscosity, and so their use must be limited to meet the desired viscosity range.
Finally, the compositions contain from 40% 10 to 78%, preferably from 50% to 70%, by weight, of water™ In addition to the above, the C,1-C1^ alkylbenzene sulfonate and cumene sulfonate together should represent from 3% to 14%, preferably from 4% to 12%, most preferably from 4% to 10%, by weight,,, of the composition to provide sufficient dispersant for the peroxyacid particles while maintaining the desired low viscosity.. In certain compositions, the Cj-j-Cjj alkylbenzene sulfonate and cumene sulfonate 20 together represent from 3% to 10%, preferably from 3% to 8%, most preferably from 3.5% to 6%, by weight of the composition.
The magnesium sulfate and sodium or potassium sulfate should represent from 5% to 16%, preferably from 8% to 16%, more preferably frost 10% to 15%, by weight of the composition in order to adequately suspend the peroxyacid particles-The weight ratio of magnesium sulfate t© sodium or potassium sulfate is preferably from 1:1 to 4:1, more preferably from 2:1 to 3:1, for the desired combination of exotherm stability, low wash water hardness, and low viscosity.
The alkylbenzene sulfonate, cumene sulfon ates magnesium sulfate and sodium or potassium sulfate 35 together should represent from 12% to 30%, preferably from 12% to 25%, more preferably from 14% to 25%, most preferably from 14% to 20%, by weight of the composition to provide sufficient dispersing and suspending agents.
The weight ratio of diperoxyacid particles .to magnesium sulfate should also be less than 3si,, preferably less than . 2.5:1, for best exotherm stability.
The bleaching compositions of the present invention can, of course, be employed by themselves as bleaching agents. However, such compositions will more commonly be used as one element of a total bleaching or laundering composition.
Bleaching compositions herein can contain any of the optional ingredients known for use in such compositions- The compositions herein can contain minor amounts, generally less than 5%, preferably less than 2%, most preferably less than 1%, by weight, of other synthetic surfactants, such as other anionic, nonionic, cationic and switterionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof, known in the art. However, such additional surfactants, particularly nonionic and cationic surfactants, have been found to increase viscosity and to cause phase separation when used at higher levels, and thus are not preferred for use herein. Preferably, the compositions are substantially free' of such other surfactants. The compositions herein generally contain less than 2%, preferably less than 1%, by weight, of other anionic synthetic surfactants. Preferably, the compositions are essentially free of such other anionic synthetic surfactants.
Since the peroxyacid compounds used in the compositions of the present invention are subject to the loss of available oxygen when contacted by heavy metals, it is desirable to include a chelating agent in the compositions. Such agents- are preferably present in an 8 amount ranging from 0.005% to 1.0% by weight of the composition. The chelating agent can be any of the well-known agents, including those described in U.S. Patent 3,442,937, issued Hay 6, 1969 to SsnnewaId et al„, 5 U. S. Patent 2 „ 8 3 8 f 4 5 9 f, issued July 10l5 1958 to Sprout, Jr., and U.S. Patent 3, 192,255, issued June 29... 1965 to Cann. Preferred chelating agents are picolinic acid and dipicolinic acid.
Bleaching compositions of the present invention are 10 utilized by adding them to water in an amount sufficient to provide from 1«0 ppm to 100 ppm, preferably from 1.0 ppm to 50 ppm, available oxygen in solution„ Generally, this amounts to 0.01% to 0„4%, preferably from 0.01% to 0»2%,? by weight of composition in solution. Fabrics to be bleached are then contacted with such aqueous bleaching solutions.
The compositions of the present invention can also be used in combination with conventional fabric laundering detergent compositions. Such compositions can 20 contain standard detergent ingredients, such as the surfactants and builders described in U.S. Patent 4,100,095, Hutchins et ..al., issued July 11, 1978, Preferred detergent compo sitions are described in U.S. Patent 4,561,998# Wertz, et 25 al., issued December 31, 1985, and U.S. Patent 4,507,219, Hughes, issued -March 26, 1985..
Preferably,, detergent compositions formulated for use with bleaching compositions herein have a pH of from 9 to 12, preferably from 9.5 to 11.5, more preferably from 10 to 11. They preferably contain from 2% to 15%, more preferably from 4% to 10%, by weight, of monoethanolamine. The combination of such an alkaline composition with a bleaching composition herein 35 preferably delivers a wash water pH of from 7.8 to 9, preferably from 7 „ 9 to 8.5, which is desired for good bleaching performance,,, a minimum- of fabric yellowing# and a minimum of bleach decomposition by the monoethanolamine.
The following examples illustrate the compositions of the present invention.
All parts, percentages and ratios used herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Example 1 The following composition was prepared by high shear mixing of the components in an Eppenbach mixer while in an ice bath- The DPDA and water were added to the mixer before turning the mixer on. The suds suppressor was added to minimize foaming while mixing and to minimize air entrapment in the finish composition. The other components were added in the order listed at the indicated times after turning on the mixer- Component Grains Wt.% Time 1,12-Diperoxydodecanedioic 10 ,821.6 18.0 0 acid (DPDA)(26.68% active slurry*!

After 3 hr- 30 min.f the pK of the composition was determined to be 3-20 at 20CC.
After 4 hr. min., the pH was again determined to be $ <■> 2 0 2Q®C and the mixer was turned off. The composition was a stable suspension, of the ingredients. It had a viscosity of about 350 mPa.s at 20°C. The DPDA had an average particle size of 2-5 micrometers.
The above describes the preferred process for making the composition since high shear mixing of the components in an ice bath, their order of addition and the approximate times of addition have all been found to be important to obtain the desired physical stability.
After 9 days, there still was no physical separation of the composition. A 951 gram sample of the composition was removed from the .bottom and analysed. It contained 18.29% DPDA and 10.81% magnesium sulfate. Since the target composition was 18.0% DPDA* chemical stability ^as very good.
After 11 days, 4 8 grains of water were removed from the bottom of the composition™ Since this represents only 0»3% of the composition, physical stability was very good.
After 18 days, the original composition was transferred, along with 5 other samples of similar composition and preparation, to a 55 gallon (about 200 liters) drum and mixed by hand. The mixture was analysed to contain 18..29% DPDA. It had a viscosity of about 350 mPa.s a density of 1.187 g/ml, and a pH of 3.20, all measured at 20*C. The next day, samples of the mixture were placed in storage at 40°F {4.44°C) , 50°F (10°C) , 70°F (21.1#C) , 90°? |32.2°C) and 100°F {37.8°C).
