Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of stabilizing percarbonate in powder detergents.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method by means of which the stability of percarbonate in detergents can be increased to a substantially greater extent than has hitherto been possible.
- Sodium perborate is used as a bleaching agent in many laundry washing detergents at present available commercially. This compound, however, has a number of undesirable properties when used as a bleaching agent in detergents.
- Sodium perborate is a relatively stable chemical compound which results in a low bleaching effects when washing at temperatures of 30-40oC. From an environmental aspect, however, it is preferred to wash at lower temperatures, because of the resultant lower energy consumption.
- Perborates also include boron, which has a harmful influence on marine plants, among others, and is therefore less suitable for use, due to its negative influence on the environment.
- Such compounds are percarbonates, particularly sodium percarbonate which, as a result of its less stable structure, provides a bleaching effect at lower temperatures than sodium perborate.
- Alkali percarbonates and in particular sodium percarbonate, contain no components which are detrimental to the environment when used normally, and are therefore preferred as bleaching agents to sodium perborate.
- percarbonate due to its less stable structure, percarbonate causes product durability problems when used as a detergent bleaching agent. Degradation of percarbonate is namely accelerated in the presence of other substances, such as heavy metals, readily oxidizable substances and moisture. As a result, percarbonate degrades relatively quickly when in mixture with a detergent, which results in a poorer washing effect and therewith a highly limited stability in storage.
- percarbonate can be stabilized in detergents to a far greater extent than was hitherto possible by a) selection of ingoing surfactants in a given manner, b) selection of a given technique in detergent manufacture, c) the use of certain auxiliaries as further additives, and d) mixing of the detergent components in a given order.
- the inventive method is characterized by
- amphoteric surfactants selected from tallow ampho-polycarboxy glycinate, mixed C8-amphocarboxylates, caprylo-amphocarboxy propionate, cocoamphocarboxy propionate and cocoamphocarboxy glycinate, and
- inventive method is based on the known so-called agglomeration technique for the manufacture of powder detergents.
- This agglomeration technique involves mixing solid, powder particles with liquid substances in droplet form. Agglomeration enables powdered detergents to be produced in high litre-weights and at high activesubstance concentration. These so-called compact detergents have many advantages over detergents that are manufactured in spray towers. The compact detergents greatly reduce the need for space in transportation and in storage facilities, shops and in the home. The amount of material required for packaging purposes is also greatly reduced, as is also the energy required for manufacture.
- the inventive method entails mixing the detergent components stepwise, with the exception of the percarbonate, so as to encapsulate those substances which have an unstabilizing effect on percarbonate, so that the substances obtain an outer surface which will counteract degradation.
- the requisite amount of percarbonate is added to the detergent.
- the percarbonate used is preferably one which has itself been subjected to a stabilizing process with the aid of an earlier known technique.
- a combination of certain liquid surfactants namely amphoteric surfactants chosen from the group tallow ampho-polycarboxy glycinate, mixed C8- amphocarboxylates, cocoamphocarboxy propionate, etc. on the one hand, and one or more nonionic surfactants and optionally one or more anionic surfactants on the other hand.

- the sequestering agent used in stage I) may consist of one or more substances taken from the group carboxylates, phosphates and polyacrylates.
- sodium citrate and/or a mixture of sodium tartrate and potassium tartrate are used, it being possible to add these substances as such to the system or to form said substances in situ from citric acid or tartaric acid added to the system in stage I).

- the total concentration of solid components used in stage I) normally lies within the range of 70-85 percent by weight.
- amphoteric surfactants are chosen from the group tallow amphopolycarboxy glycinate, mixed C8-amphocarboxylates, caprylo-amphocarboxy propionate, cocoamphocarboxy propionate and cocoamphocarboxy glycinate.
