Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to products useful for garden cleaning, and more particularly to bleaching compositions with adjustable bleaching intensity, and highly advantageous methods of such compositions. and a bleaching method including a combination of the above two. More specifically, the present invention can be used as an oxygen bleach for sensitive fabrics/dyes, as well as for fabrics/dyes that are not very susceptible to damage.
Concerning a highly practical and commercially available washing aid which can be used as a light bleaching agent that is much more effective than oxygen-based bleaches and has similar efficacy to liquid chlorine bleaches against dyes. .

Typical washing temperatures in the United States continue to decline for a variety of reasons, and with them the bleaching performance of oxygen bleaches (eg, sodium perborate) in conventional all-fabric safety bleaches. Such bleaches are widely used despite the above fact due to their efficacy at high temperatures and their ability to be virtually harmless to sensitive fabrics/dyes related to washing conditions.Chlorine bleaches On the other hand, although very effective at low temperatures, they are known to have an adverse effect on dyed fabrics, and they often This substantially reduces the effectiveness of the photobrightener.

The ability of peroxymonosulfates to increase the overall bleaching effect compared to halides, hypohalides, and non-ibono-roasic acids is well known in the industry. U.S. Patent No. 3,438,446, French Patent No. 1,5 (3
No. 8,919, German Patent No. 1,269,992 and US Pat. No. 1,162,734.

Substantial prior art is also known regarding methods of reducing the strength ratio of fabrics when bleaching agents are activated with sodium bromide. German Patent No. 2.525,878 (U.S. Patent No. 4) granted to Fritz Deutcher in January 1976.

No. 1, No. 1, No. 1, No. 1, No. 1, No. 1, No. 1, No. 1, 2003, 2003, discloses certain fluorescent brighteners that are relatively stable in systems such as those described above for use in cleaning/bleach compositions. Each of these patent specifications only mentions the improvement in bleaching effect resulting from the addition of bromide ions,
No mention is made of the synergistic effects and possible toxic conditions obtained using the combination of chloride and bromide salts.

The present invention provides a synergistic difference in bleaching performance obtained by using a combination of chloride ion and bromide ion, which is greater than the sum of the bleaching performance obtained when each is used alone, and bleaching. Such a combination for use in the active ratio of agents? Partly based on unique & convenient design.

In further contrast to prior art methods, the present invention contemplates formulating the bromide salt as an intimate mixture with the rest of the composition, rather than separating and supplying the bromide salt to the consumer's choice of active ratio. It is. In addition to the versatility of the bleach product disclosed herein, this product also has the advantage of being more stable and therefore more conventional and suitable for sale.

Due to their nature, the previously disclosed formulations were highly unstable upon addition of water. This addition of water can occur either from irresistible transmission through the walls of the container in a humid environment, or from direct addition due to inadvertent removal of use.

The main object of the present invention is to have the performance characteristics of any of the above groups of bleaches (oxygen-based and chlorine-based) and in a very advantageous rate-n-packed form? The best thing to do is to provide dry bleach. The latter typically consists of:

a) Oxygen bleach? b) a dispensing container containing a bleach activator composition and being an accessory; C) an accessory containing at least one bleach base; The portion is dispensed and the fabric is carried in a first container for easy removal due to the controllable activation of the bleach (sometimes bleaching agents).

Such a composite container, integrated into one package, acts to physically separate the bleach base and active components while increasing stability as well as adjustability of bleach strength. Also, storage, handling, usability, and effectiveness are improved.

Another object of the present invention is to use a mixture of bromide and chloride ions in the active agent, which provides synergistic performance, low cost, and slightly lower toxicity compared to bromide salts alone. .

A further object of the present invention is to provide a method in which the dispensing container for the activator is not only attached to or integrally molded with the bleach-based product container, but is also removable from the bleach-based product container. To provide a single package design that can be used separately from an otherwise product container.

Such structural integration means of the viscous agent dispensing container into the bleach base container are referred to in the present invention as "accessories". Its various particularly advantageous forms can best be described by reference to the following drawings and descriptions thereof. Useful dry bleach containers with fittings are shown below, as will be seen below. Or it can be shaped into a foldable dented carton.

In the aspect of the fabric method, the present invention is basically the next step. Intended.

a) providing a first volume of bleach base comprising an oxygen bleach, a portion of which is added to the fabric wash water; b) providing said first volume of bleach base for presentation at the time of washing; C) providing a second volume of the bleach activator composition in intimate transport relationship with the bleach base; and C) separating some of the activator composition from intimate association with the volume of the bleach base; Applying the activator composition to a detergent containing a bleach-based additive (so that the bleach-based agent becomes active in water).

The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention, as well as details of illustrative embodiments, will be more fully understood from the following description and drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring first to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a first container in the form of a bottle 10 having a threaded neck 10a, the bottle having a flowable dryer. Contains 100% of a cleansing agent base (eg, flowable dry granules).

The bottle has a removable cap 11x which has 15 depending skirts extending into the interfit of the neck with a horizontal top wall 12 overlying the neck 10a. As shown, the skirt and neck have interdigitated threads 14 and 15, although other types of connections may be used. The bottle, neck and cap can all be made of a usable plastic material.

The bottle is provided with a dispensing container defined by an attachment 16 containing a flowable granule.

Bleach activator compositions 17 are available in tablet and other forms. The attachments are carried indirectly by the fan 10 and directly by the cap 11 and can be easily attached and detached to dispense at least a portion of the active agent composition, such as when washing. ing. Thus, for example, upon removal of the cap 11, the user has immediate access to the dry bleach by means of the attachment protruding from the removed cap, thus giving the user the ability to adjust the attachment at the exact time and wash time. Bleach treatment Granules can be used to apply an activator composition to the wash water in which the fabric is being washed (by selection of the relative amounts of bleach and activator) to achieve a more highly regulated bleaching process. Reminds me of what is happening.

As long as it can be compared to acid (acid), it can be used in a normal form. Of particular interest in this regard is the triple salt of potassium peroxymonosulfate, potassium bisulfate, and potassium sulfate in a molar ratio of about 2:1:1, which is commercially available from Dubos/Co. Ox
commercially available as one). Another bleaching agent with sufficiently high acid arsenide for this application is magnesium monoperoxyphthalate, which is commercially available as H-48 sold by Interox.

The bleach base can be formulated to contain phosphate either as a sequestering agent (eg, sodium tripolyphosphate) or as a precipitable builder (eg, tetrahydrophosphate). A particularly attractive variant, however, is that the rate of products to be sold throughout the country, including areas that do not contain any inorganic/acid salts, restricts or does not authorize the sale of phosphate-containing laundry products. It is the combination of bleach base Yv@ that allows different varieties. Choosing the appropriate bilter system is important for washing liquid l)
H is of particular importance in this invention since it dramatically affects the bleaching performance obtained. High PR (e.g. 9.2~
A range of 10.2) improves cleaning performance against all oxygen bleaches, as well as bleach-resistant stains.

Therefore, alkaline detergent/bleach combinations well pH-adjusted to this range are particularly preferred when using an unactivated detergent base. Another activated variety is
However, due to the resulting increase in the ratio of hypohaloasacids to hypohalides, a slightly lower pH (e.g., 8.5
~95) is also effective. Therefore, if the washing water of the washing machine has an intermediate range of P)I(ri1j), it will be about 9.
It is highly desirable to formulate the bleach base to achieve effective bleaching performance regardless of its activity. Another important variant is the activator (
For example, weak <PH adjusted base compositions combined with the addition of highly acidic solid substances to (eg, sodium bisulfate). Even with this approach, it is necessary to include an alkaline source, since the peroxymonosulfate triple salt is itself acidic, and if combined with typical liquid detergents that exhibit little buffering KQ'l. If not used, the cleanability of the entire system will be significantly reduced. Suitable builder formulations depending on these desired purposes include pyrophosphate, tribo-111J-phosphate, or) IJ-phosphate,
Carbonates, silicates, sesquicarbonates, monobicarbonates, borax salts,
Zeolites, (citrates, tartrates, gluconates.

There are 0MO8, EDTA and NTA.

The inclusion of surfactants in dry bleach formulations has given increasing importance to their role in general and specifically as detergency enhancers. Surfactants suitable for use in such products include, but are not limited to, linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alpha-onophine sulfones Class 1 Acid soaps, ethoxy[hynonyl phenols, ethoxy] long chain alcohols and polyalkynon oxide block copolymers.

These surfactants can be used alone, in combination, or can be omitted altogether depending on the performance characteristics desired.

Many other ingredients are common in dry bleach formulations. Those that influence performance characteristics include fluorescent brighteners, anti-refouling agents (e.g., eMc), and enzymes (eg, proteases and/or amylases). Dyes, fragrances, anti-caking agents, fillers and diluents can affect aesthetic properties, physical stability and processing properties.

These formulations cover the range of dry cleaning bleaches and dry bleaches with comparable activities referenced in the foregoing discussion. The first example is a viable cleaning agent containing oxygen bleach as a relatively minor component. The example No. 2 is strongly adjusted to a relatively high pH, and both the column No. 1 and Example 2 are strongly adjusted to a moderate pE. pE (depends on the detergent chosen). The formulation of Example II has the added advantage of being completely free of phosphates. Example V has a weak <PE-I adjusted formulation. It contains a relatively highly alkaline silicate (sodium oxide to silicate 1:1) to overcome the inherent acidity deficiency of oxone, which does not fully contribute to the pH adjustment ability of the system. There is.

No. VI 91J contains magnesium monoperoxyphthalate as an oxygen bleach.

The manufacture of disinfectant bases can be carried out by conventional methods. Thus, the bleach base can then be mixed and spray dried with the oxygen bleach. On the other hand, it can be either agglomerated or simply dry mixed.

Active Agent Composition The active agent portion of the product may optionally contain both loride and bromide salts.

The respective potassium and sodium salts are of particular interest because they are readily soluble and do not contribute to ions related to water hardness. 90 with a commercially available household cleaning agent of the proposed concentration (0.15%) and Oxon with 20 ppm of available oxygen, using water with a hardness of 15011F.

er) tea bleaching studies demonstrated a significant synergism between hydrogenated salts and bromide salts. A drop equivalent to 8 grams of sodium chloride tablets, scaled down, yields a stain removal rate of over 5%, and a drop equivalent to 4I sodium bromide tablets yields a stain removal rate of over 19%. Ta. When both of these components are added together (at mI concentrations), however, the stain removal rate is greater than 27%, which is significantly greater than the sum of both used alone.

Although other halide salts may be found to exhibit similar performance synergies, the importance of this particular combination is reinforced by other considerations. Salt [The cost of hysodium is about 4 times the cost of odour. Also,
Although neither compound is considered to have significant toxicity, they both have an LDso Y of 9 or less in 5y/. The toxicity of this mixed halide should however be reduced a little more, which is a highly desirable result when intended for domestic use.

The relative concentrations of bromide and chloride salts in the active agent are influenced by the amount of effective base, the number of active ratios included per package, the magnitude of effect per use, and the amount of minor ingredients included.

If this combination of factors does not limit the effective base of the active agent, preferred embodiments of the invention may include a high concentration of chloride salt relative to bromide salt, so that the two cooperate to achieve their synergistic effect. It will maximize the benefits of the action.

In such products, the weight of the chloride salt can actually exceed the amount of M of the bromide salt by as much as 10 to 1. On the other hand, if the amount of active agent to be included is substrate-limiting, then much smaller concentrations of chloride salt may be appropriate. In such applications, chloride may actually be omitted completely, resulting in the loss of significant synergistic, lower cost and toxicity advantages.

Even small amounts of odor (compared to very small amounts) produce significant activity under typical wash conditions (for example, as low as 11 in a 16 gallon wash charge, with 20 ppm available oxygen at 90'F). It was shown that It can therefore be said that there are many possible ways in which sodium bromide can be introduced. A large tablet (i.e. 6
~20g) would be suitable for use in products positioned as dual action bleaches. In this case, such products would be designed for either active or inactive ratios without the ability to adjust between the two extremes. Smaller tablets (approximately 4y) may be prescribed to be used several times for durable fabrics/dyes with heavy staining, and fewer times for less extreme applications. Furthermore, the granule can be presented either in a cup or in a measuring cup, allowing the consumer to better control the activity level. This will also increase the rate of dissolution by increasing the surface area to volume ratio. Activity of halide salts [Another suitable vehicle for the drug is an aqueous solution in a squeeze bottle or dropper for immediate dissolution.

For example, there may be a combination of starch that swells the tablet and gives a similar result; or perhaps a combination of sodium bicarbonate and a sulfuric acid that foams and produces a similar result.

The first example is most suitable for applications where the effective base is high for the activator, and each of the following formulations has a higher bromide content and therefore relative to level weight (and relative to level capacity). This results in greater activity, but also makes the cost per level weight much higher. The first IFll is an aqueous solution of a halide salt as described above. The second example utilizes the foaming of citric acid/carbonic acid for possible use in crushing Tough L/THV.

Meanwhile, the other five dry formulations contain starch for the same purpose. The second example is the PH of the activated system.

Polypropylene, PVC and other plastics, glass, metal or paperboard? Can be made from any suitable material including. In the case of paperboard, it is advantageous to provide a moisture barrier layer 7 so that it retains good flow properties even after long-term storage in humid environments.

The active agent, packaged in the form of a tablet, can be hung from the neck of a bleach bottle, or attached to the outside of a bleach carton (e.g., as described above), or squeezed into the carton and removed from the carton. It can consist of a dispenser supported by dry bleach inside.

In the above description of the bleach bottle and activator attachment embodiments, the bottle cap defines a first predetermined bleach fill volume, and the accessory sub-container cap defines a second predetermined activator fill volume. It may be configured to specify. Such a filling capacity then requires a selected amount of bleach (filled into the cap of the bottle) and the entirety of the active agent (filled into the cap of the sub-container) to be mixed with those two.
A metering system can be defined which is characterized by a predetermined and established ratio of two photonic capacities. In this respect, the bleach activator composition is in the following form: It can take one form of tabs, granules, water soluble packets and solutions.

The bottles shown at 10 and/or 10a in the drawings are transparent (glass) so that their contents can be seen.

(e.g., plastic); and the accessory dispensing container (as shown at 16) extends into the bottle to such an extent that the dispensing container can be seen laterally through the side wall of the bottle. You will also find that you can do it. In this regard, the dispensing container can also have transparent sidewalls (eg, 16a) such that the composition in the dispensing container 16 can also be viewed through such transparent sidewalls.
