Definitions

• Concentrated liquid detergent compositions often suffer from the disadvantage that one or more of the components separate out during standing and/ or that a clear solution is not obtained on dilution to the lower concenration employed for actual use.
• a bleaching agent in a concentrated liquid detergent composition to give a product which will retain its bleaching activity to an acceptable degree on storage and which will therefore compare with the well known solid bleaching detergent compositions, containing sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate, used in certain applications, particularly in the of a stable pourable emulsion, suspension, or coacervate' which contains (a) at least one anionic active detergent A of the general formula:
• RO.(C,,H O) .SO M in which R is an alkyl radical containing from 6 to 18 carbon atoms or an alkylaryl radical containing from 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical; M is an alkalimetal, ammonium or substituted ammonium radical, preferably sodium; n is 2 or 3, and m is from 1 to 8, preferably 2 to 4; (b) a condensed phosphate; a soil-suspending agent; and (d) hydrogen peroxide.
• the composition of the invention contains a mixture of detergents A of the general formula given, in which the average value of m is at least 2 and is preferably from 2 to 4.
• Particularly suitable are the sodium salts of sulphated polyethyleneglycol mono-alkyl ethers of the general formula RO.(C H O) .SO Na, in which R is an alkyl radical with 6 to 12 carbon atoms and m is from 2 to 3, or R is an alkyl radical with 12 to 18 carbon atoms and m is from 3 to 4.
• Preferred detergents of type A described above include the sodium salt of sulphated diethyleneglycol monolauryl ether, C H CH .O(C H O) .SO Na; the sodium salt of sulphated diethyleneglycol mono-alkyl ether RO.(C H O) SO Na, in which R denotes a mixture of alkyl radicals as these occur in coconut fatty alcohols, the
• the amount of the condensed phosphates is desirably from 5 to 30%, preferably from 9 to 25%, by weight of the liquid composition.
• the soil-suspending agent may be, for example a carboxymethylcellulose of any customary degree of substitution, such as 0.4-1.1 carboxymethyl groups per monosaccharide unit, in the conventional small amounts.
• the composition preferably contains hydrogen peroxide in an amount of 0.5 to 3% by weight of the solution, preferably together with a small amount of a stabiliser for hydrogen peroxide, such as, for example, sodium p-hydroxybenzoate, sodium nitrilotriacetate or sodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate.
• a stabiliser for hydrogen peroxide such as, for example, sodium p-hydroxybenzoate, sodium nitrilotriacetate or sodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate.
• B may for example be a fatty alkyl sulphate salt with from 8 to 18, preferably about 12, carbon atoms in the molecule, or an alkylaryl sulphonate with from 8 to 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, preferably an alkylbenzene sulphonate with about 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. Salts of acylated hydroxy or amino sulfonic acids may also be used.
• Preferred detergents of type B include sodium tetrapropylenebenzene sulphonate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate, sodium pentapropylenebenzene sulphonate, sodium lauryl sulphate and sodium oleyl sulphate.
• the expressions 5tetrapropylenebenzene and pentapropylenebenzene denote alkylbenzenes in which the alkyl groups are derived from propylene tetramer and propylene pentamer, respectively.
• the weight ratio A:B is preferably from 1:1 to 1:6, most suitably from 1:2 to 1:4.
• the active detergents A and B together suitably form from 5 to 25%, preferably from 6 to 20% by weight of the liquid composition.
• compositions such as fatty acid monoor diethanolamides, optical brighteners and inorganic salts other than condensed phosphates, may be added, subject to the proviso that the compositions should not of course contain ingredients which will react with hydrogen peroxide or catalyse its decomposition on storage. , In particular, the compositions should not contain sodium silicate.
• liquid bleaching and detergent compositions of the invention in order to ensure that they do not contain matter that is easily oxidised by hydrogen peroxide, all the ingredients may be subjected to an o-xidising pretreatment, preferably with hydrogen peroxide. It is, however, preferred to prepare the composition from untreated ingredients, using a slight excess of hydrogen peroxide. If the composition is then kept for a few weeks, the excess hydrogen peroxide becomes decomposed, but the remainder is surprisingly resistant to decomposition on prolonged storage.
