Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in general, to compositions advantageously adapted for use in connection with fabric washing and bleaching operations and the like and in particular to the provision of specific compounds and compositions for such purposes, said compositions being characterized in having an exceptionally high order of bleaching activity.
  • bleaching agents as an adjunct to fabric washing operations is, of course, a well established practice and, in many instances, a recognized necessity.
  • many of the detergent formulations currently available commercially include pre-determined quantities of bleaching agent as an essential ingredient; specific representatives of bleaching agents found to be suitable in this regard are well known in the art being extensively described in the prior art both patent and otherwise and include, for example, the chlorine bleaches, e.g., the alkali metal hypochlorites; active oxygen releasing peroxide compounds, e.g., inorganic persalts such as perborate, percarbonates, perphosphates, persilicates, persulfates, hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide and the like.
  • peroxide type bleaching agents are, in general, preferred for use being found to be markedly superior as regards capability of providing a fabric having a softer hand, im-
  • washing operation requiring comparatively high order of bleaching activity at reduced temperature ranges invariably necessitate the use of bleaching agents other than those of the peroxide type despite the attendant disadvantages necessarily involved, i.e., with respect to possibleimpairment of fabric strength, inferior resistance to discoloration, etc.
  • activator compounds of this type function function as a precursor system by which the in situ generation of species cabable of effective bleaching action is made possible.
  • activator compounds comprising acylated molecules of various types which, according to theoretical exposition, are alleged to fonn peracid species as a result of interaction with the bleaching agent, the peracid serving as bleaching agent.
  • the effectiveness of the activator would in turn depend upon the strength of the peracid generated in situ this of course being related to thepKa of such acid. Regardless of the theory involved, experience establishes that significant enhancement of the bleaching capacity of peroxide compounds is obtained with the conjunctive use of auxiliary compounds of this type.
  • a primary object of the present invention resides in the provision of activator compounds specifically and advantageously adapted for conjoint use with peroxide compounds in bleaching and washing compositions wherein one or more of the foregoing disadvantages are eliminated or at least mitigated to a substantial degree.
  • Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of activator compounds capable of augmenting the bleaching capacity of peroxide compounds to the extent that such materials are rendered feasible for use in connection with washing operations under tepid temperature conditions.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of activator compounds capable of synergistically enhancing the bleaching activity of peroxide compounds, the increase in bleaching activity being obtained despite the use of such activator in relatively low concentrations.
  • a still further object of the present invention resides in the provision of activator compounds as well as washing and bleaching compositions containing same capable of yielding fabric materials having satisfactory absorbency, softness of hand, resistance to discoloration during wash cycle and upon aging.
  • activator compounds for use in conjunction with peroxide type bleaching agents, said activators comprising compounds of the following formula:
  • X represents halogen,e.g., chloro, bromo, etc. and Z represents the atoms necessary to complete a heterocyclic nucleus selected from the group consisting of a hydantoin or succinimide.
  • peroxide quantities sufiicient to yield a concentration of only 2-4 parts of available oxygen per million parts of wash solution.
  • peroxide quantities sufficient to yield available oxygen concentrations ranging from about 2 to about ppm in wash solution are found to be eminently suitable for the vast majority of laundering operations.
  • the relative concentration of activator compound and bleaching agent employed is of primary importance in the tergent composition components e.g. synthetic detergent, soap, builder salts, soil suspending agents, brighteners, bacteriocides, bacteriostals, anti-oxidants etd, and the like.
  • the composition may consist entirely or substantially (e.g. 50-100 percent) of the peroxygen compound and activator or alternatively there may be added inert filler or other non-interfering ingredients so that the peroxygen-activator combination comprises a minor fraction of the total composition (e.g. l-SO percent by weight thereof).
  • the peroxygen-activator combination may comprise from about 1-75 percent by weight of the total composition with 2-50 percent preferred and 5-40 percent being most preferred.
  • the balance of such fonnulations comprises the usual ingredients i.e. detergent, builder, etc. in the conventional concentrations e.g. detergent 5-75 percent by weight, builder 5-75 percent by weight, fillers 0-75 percent by weight and minor amounts e.g. 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of other adjuvants such as soil suspending agents, brighteners, anti-oxidants, etc.
  • the test fabric comprises 3 X 6 inch coffee/tea-stained swatches as (cotton).
  • the tergotometer receptacle containing the test swatches and activated perborate detergent solution is agitated (75rpm) for a period of 10 minutes. After a rinse, the load is dried and evaluated. Reflectance readings are taken both before and after completion of the immersion treatment, the numerical difference between readings being recorded as A Rd.
  • the results obtained are itemized in the following table:
  • the activator should be utilized in amounts sufficient to yield a mole ratio of perborate to activator with the range of from about 0.5:] to about 6:1.
  • specific values may be selected in accordance with the bleaching problem to be negotiated; however, it is usually found that optimization of bleaching activity can be obtained by utilizing a perborate/activator mole ratio which approximate 1:1.
  • specific and unusual situations may arise dictating departures from use of the optimum ratio in order to suppress, for example, deleterious effects with regard to certain types of dyed fabrics.
  • the bleaching compositions of this invention may be employed in various forms such as powders, tablets and the like with or without additional non-interfering ingredients such as inert fillers e.g. sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, etc, conventional de- As the above data make manifestly clear, efficient bleaching activity is obtained despite an available oxygen concentration of only 4 ppm. Moreover, the reflectance values itemized as ARd are markedly superior to corresponding values obtained with analogous activator compounds typical of those described in the prior art when subjected to the identical testing procedure utilizing the identical compo-sitions itemized in the table.
  • the ARd value measurement of 4 obtained in example 1 comprises a significantly high value in view of the minimal concentration of available oxygen as well as relatively mild temperature F., at which the testing is carried out. Such value would indicate substantial bleaching activity and especially in view of the somewhat limited period of washing 10 minutes).
  • the 1:] mole ratio value would be recommended for most home laundering operations; as a matter of pure economics, excess perborate should be avoided since correlative enhancement of bleaching activity for given increases in concentrations is not attainable thereby.
  • the improvement in reflectance values are similar to those summerized in Table 1.
  • the above data establish marked superiority for the activators of the subject invention; the contrast being particularly striking at available oxygen concentrations approximating 7 ppm.
  • the margin of improvement with respect to ARd diminishes with a perborate/activator mole ratio approximating 2:1; similarly, the ARd value increases with increasing concentrations of activator and perborate and particularly when the 1:1 mole ratio value is maintained.
  • the activator material employed in each of the treatments comprises chlorobenzoylsuccinimide; perborate/activator mole ratios are varied as specified in the table. In order to permit a more comprehensive determination of the effects attending varying mole ratios, the procedure is carried out utilizing detergent to TABLE 4 Ex. Mole ratio Moles of Color no. perborate] perborate difference activator units rd.
  • the low temperature efficiency of the bleach/activator systems described herein at low concentrations of available oxygen is thus self-evident.
  • the N-m-halobenzoylimide activator compounds may be beneficially applied to bleaching operations at higher temperatures, i.e., within the range of from about 120 140 F. and higher, by simply increasing the available oxygen concentration. Again, optimum results are assured by the utilization of a mole ratio of perborate to activator in the range of 1:1. Therefore, by merely varying the quantity of perborate, it becomes possible to provide a composition specifically and advantageously adapted to either hot or cold water processing depending upon the requirements of the user.
  • the A Rd value of approximately 2 with the use of an available oxygen concentration of only 2ppm, although somewhat reduced in comparison to the other values itemized is nevertheless highly significant when considered in view of the reduced temperature of 80 F. employed.
  • the laundered fabric obtained be devoid of any significant yellowing tendency; thus, optimum whitening effects usually characterize those fabric materials bluish-white in appearance.
  • the appearance of the laundered fabric is of critical importance from this standpoint.
  • many of the activator compounds currently available commercially impart to the fabric material an undesired shift in whiteness to yellow. In many instances, this is a direct consequence of the necessity of employing the activator compound as well as perborate bleaching agent in inordinately high concentrations. Similar results are obtained in those instances wherein the activator and/or perborate concentrations are insufiicient to afford the requisite level of bleaching activity.
  • the superior capability of the activators described herein to provide significant bleaching is illustrated in the following examples.
  • the testing procedure described in example 1 is followed, i.e., with regard to the detergent compound employed, period of immersion agitation treatment, soiled fabric, etc.
  • the available oxygen derived from the sodium perborate is maintained at a constant level of 16 ppm.
  • the amount of activator is varied in order to yield the desired mole ratio. Increasing values of Ab, negatively, correspond to greater bluing and thus absence of yellowing, the numerical indicia assigned providing a relative assessment of such property.
  • the activator compound employed comprises N-m-chlorobenzoylsuccinimide. The results obtained are summarized in the following table:
