Description

The present invention relates to a cartridge cleaning agent.

In recent years, automatic dishwashers have been used in hotels, restaurants, and the like from the viewpoint of labor shortages and hygiene management. Conventionally, a detergent composition used in such an automatic dishwasher includes various components in order to exert various functions such as washing, bleaching, and sterilization.

Among the components that can be blended in such detergent compositions, there are combinations of incompatible components that should not be mixed. When components that are not compatible with each other are produced at the time of production of the cleaning composition, decomposition may occur due to the reaction, and the intended function of each component is not exhibited, and the performance as the cleaning composition is deteriorated. There is.

Among the components contained in the cleaning composition, a chlorine-based bleach is known as a component that easily decomposes when it comes into contact with other components.
In order to prevent decomposition of the chlorine bleach, for example, in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 9, a circular plug 42 containing a chlorine bleach is disposed at the center of the mold 44 into which the cleaning component 41 is injected. Disclosed is a cleaning agent 40 disposed over the depth direction. Since the circular plug 42 containing a chlorine bleach is encapsulated by a natural wax, a synthetic wax, a phosphate ester, or the like that does not react with the cleaning component or the chlorine bleach, the degradation of the chlorine bleach can be suppressed. it can.

Patent Document 2 discloses a cleaning agent 50 in which an encapsulated chlorine bleach 52 is uniformly dispersed in a cleaning component 51 injected into a mold 54 as shown in FIG. Since the encapsulated chlorine bleach 52 is coated with the chlorine bleach with an inert coating material that does not easily react with the chlorine bleach, decomposition of the chlorine bleach can be suppressed.
