  • This invention relates to fabric-washing detergent compositions, and in particular it relates to so-called low-temperature bleaching detergent compositions of the type functioning by the generation in aqueous solution during use of organic peracids, for example peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid or substituted perbenzoic acids.
  • Low-temperature bleaching detergent compositions essentially comprise inorganic persalts and organic compounds reactive at relatively low temperatures, for example 20 to 60 C, with the persalts, or with hydrogen peroxide liberated by the persalts, to form organic peracids.
  • organic peracid precursors such organic compounds are referred to as organic peracid precursors.
  • organic peracid precursors were added to conventional detergent compositions of the type discussed above. However, it was noted that discoloration and mal-odor were produced in such compositions during storage. These compositions contained many other ingredients, but as there had been no serious instability problems with such compositions prior to the addition of the organic peracid precursor it was assumed that it was the organic precursor that was resulting in the poor storage propsrties. Attempts were made to improve the storage properties by altering the nature of the organic peracid precursors, but these attempts were unsuccessful and as a result it was not possible to produce commercially acceptable effective low-temperature bleaching detergent compositions. The public was, therefore, denied the advantages that such compositions would otherwise have provided.
  • a detergent composition consists essentially of:
  • At least one cotton-substantive fluorescent agent which is a derivative of 4,4'-di(symtriazinylamino)stilb'ene-2,2-disulphonic acid or of a salt thereof;
  • R is a hydroxy group or a halogen atom
  • R is a hydroxy group or the group NR,R each of R, and R being a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl group, or R and R, being combined in a heterocyclic ring, and
  • R is an alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl group.
  • R is a hydroxy group or a chlorine atom.
  • R is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, dimethylamino, N-methylethylamino, monoethylamino, diethylamino, l-methyl-2- hydroxy)ethylamino, amilino, p-chloranilino and mor pholino groups.
  • R is a methyl, phenyl or mono-sulphonated phenyl group.
  • inorganic persalt sodium perborate, which is used as the monohydratc or tetrahydrate, but other inorganic persalts, for example percarbonates, perpyrophosphates and persilicates may alternatively be used.
  • percarbonates, perpyrophosphates and persilicates may alternatively be used.
  • the organic peracid precursors are typically compounds containing one or more acyl groups which are susceptible to perhydrolysis. Acetyl and benzoyl radicals are preferred, generating peracetic and perbenzoic acid, respectively.
  • the perhydrolysis should be sufficiently fast and the organic peracid precursor sufficiently watersoluble for the organic peracid to be formed in a reasonable time. Moreover, the perhydrolysis must predominate over the competing hydrolysis reaction and the organic peracid formed must be sufficiently stable for the desired bleaching to occur under the laundering conditions employed.
  • organic peracid precursors which may be mentioned by way of example are esters such as sodium acetoxybenzene sulphonate and chloracetoxy salicylic acid, acyl-substituted cyanurates such as triacetylcyanurate, amides, particularly acetylated alkyl amines such as N,N,N',N-tetracetyl ethylenediamine, N-acyl azoles such as N-acetyl imidazole and N-benzoyl imidazole, acylated barbitones, hydantoins and glycolurils such as N,N'-diacetyl barbitone, N,N'-diacetyl-5,5- dimethylhydantoin and N,N,N,N'-tetracetyl glycoluril, respectively.
  • esters such as sodium acetoxybenzene sulphonate and chloracetoxy salicylic acid
  • the amounts of the inorganic persalt and the organic peracid precursor are both generally within the range of from about 5 to percent by weight in the detergent compositions.
  • the ratio of the inorganic persalt to the organic peracid precursor can vary, depending on the number of reactive acyl radicals per molecule of the organic peracid precursor, but generally the amounts of the two components are of the same order.
  • the cotton-substantive fluorescent agents which are used in the low-temperature bleaching detergent compositions of the invention are well-known, and many such fluorescent agents are available commercially. Specific fluorescent agents which may be mentioned by way of example are:
  • fluorescent agents are supplied and used in detergent compositions in the form of their alkali-metal salts, for example the sodium salts.
  • detergent compositions may of course contain other types of fluorescent agent which may be either cotton or nylon-substantive, for example pyrazoline fluorescent agents.
  • the total amount of fluorescent agent or agents used in a detergent composition is generally from about 0.1 to 2 percent by weight.
  • the triazine impurities are apparently formed during the preparation of the commercially-available fluorescent agents, and, if present in too high a concentration in the fluorescent agent, render the unpurified fluorescent agent unsatisfactory for use in a low-temperature bleaching detergent composition.
  • a test for determining whether or not a fluorescent agent incorporates triazine impurities to an excessive extent is described be low.
  • a detergent base powder had added to it 10 percent by weight of sodium perborate, 8 percent by weight of N,N,N,N'-tetraacetyl ethylenediamine and 2 percent by weight of the fluorescent agent.
  • the ingredients are well mixed and then placed in a bottle which is put into an oven maintained at 60 C. The bottle is periodically examined for the color and odor of its contents. The development of a detectable discoloration or foul odor within a period of 24 hours indicates that the fluorescent agent used contains too high an amount of triazine impurities.
  • An ideal detergent base powder for use in this test is described in Example 1 below.
  • a fluorescent agent when tested as described above gives only a slight discoloration or foul odor by the end of the period of storage of the powder at 60 C, it may still be possible to use the fluorescent agent without purification in low-temperature bleaching detergent compositions of the present invention, but at a lower concentration than the 2 percent level used in the test.
  • a fluorescent agent used in a com position at the 2 percent level may include minor amounts of up to about 0.05 percent by weight of the triazine impurities, without the level of the impurities in the composition (ie 0.00l percent) being excessive.
  • a fluorescent agent comprising, say, 0.2 percent by weight of the triazine impurities could only be used in a composition to an extent of about 0.5 percent by weight in order to avoid exceeding the same level of impurities in the composition.
  • the maximum permitted concentration of the triazine impurities in the lowtemperature bleaching detergent compositions of the invention is about 0.001 percent by weight, as 1 have found that more than this amount of such impurities is unacceptable.
  • a method which may be used for the purification of a fluorescent agent containing an unacceptably high level of triazine impurities is described below.
  • Method for the purification of a fluorescent agent A sample of the fluorescent agent is added to boiling water to which a minimum amount of ethanol is added in order to dissolve substantially all of the sample. The solution thus formed is cooled to about 60-65 C whereupon less soluble impurities in the fluorescent agent are precipitated and are removed from the solution by filtration. The filtrate is then cooled to room temperature to precipitate the fluorescent agent which is itself removed by filtration and subsequently dried. Other more soluble impurities in the fluorescent agent are left in the filtrate. Using this purification process it is possible in most cases to recover at least about percent by weight of the fluorescent agent incorporated in the original sample. Alternatively, chromatographic techniques may be used for the purification of the fluorescent agents, if desired.
  • triazine impurities which may be mentioned as causing discoloration and/or mal-odors are 2-anilinc-4,6-hydroxytriazine, 2-anilino-4- morpholino-6-hydroxytriazine, 2,4-di(ethylamino)-6- hydroxytriazine, and similar compounds containing halogen atoms, usually chlorine, instead of the hydroxy groups, to which they are readily hydrolyzed.
  • Further compounds contain two triazine rings of formula (I) in which the groups R, are conjoined in a 4,4'-substituted stilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (or salt) group.
  • a detergent composition of the invention may advantageously incorporate one or more metallic catalysts which promote the organic peracid bleaching effect.
  • metallic catalysts take the form of organic complexes with transition metals, such as cobalt, for example the cobalt chelates of pyridine 2-carboxylic acid and l,l0-phenan-throline.
  • Any metallic catalyst used is normally present in very small amounts, and a level of a metallic catalyst in a detergent composition such that a concentration of the metallic catalyst in a wash liquor of about 1 to 5 X 10 mole per liter is generally satisfactory.
  • the stain removal performance of a detergent composition of the invention may also be improved by incorporating therein enzymes, which may be proteolytic or amylolytic in nature.
  • the preferred enzyme is a'proteolytic enzyme (protease) obtained from b subrilis.
  • proteolytic enzymes are incorporated into detergent com positions in amounts such that the detergent compositions have enzymic activities in the range of from 10 to 10 maltose units per kilogram, when amylolytic enzymes are used and from 5 to 20 Anson units per gram when proteolytic enzymes are used.
