Definitions
- the present invention relates to a detergent composition
- a detergent composition comprising both zeolite as a sequestering agent for water hardness and an enzyme.
- Detergent compositions for fabric washing conventionally contain detergency builders which lower the concentration of calcium and magnesium water hardness ions in the wash liquor and thereby provide good detergency effect in both hard and soft water.
- inorganic phosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate
- alkali metal aluminosilicate ion-exchangers particularly crystalline sodium aluminosilicate zeolite A
- crystalline sodium aluminosilicate zeolite A have been proposed as replacements for the inorganic phosphates.
- EP 21 491 A (Procter & Gamble) discloses detergent compositions containing a building system which includes zeolite A, X or P (B) or a mixture thereof.
- EP 384070A (Unilever) discloses specific zeolite P materials having an especially low silicon to aluminium ratio not greater than 1.33 (hereinafter referred to as zeolite MAP) and describes its use as a detergency builder, optionally with cobuilders.
- Detergent compositions containing proteases are well-known in the art. By use of a protease in a detergent, it is possible to hydrolyze the proteins, present in stains and soil on the clothes, to such a degree that they become readily soluble in water.
- a problem may occur when a water insoluble zeolite having a small particle size, is used as a detergency builder in a fabric laundering detergent composition containing certain protease enzymes and relatively high levels of carbonate cobuilder.
- the problem has been found to be particularly pronounced when the zeolite builder is zeolite MAP.
- a small particle size for a zeolite MAP component that is to say particles having a particle size, measured as a dso value, of up to 1.0 micrometres has previously been taught to be preferred in the art, as represented, for example, by EP 384070 A.
- the problem relates to the aforementioned detergent compositions having a marked incompatibility with printed cotton fabrics.
- the use of detergent compositions containing small particle size zeolite tends to lead to the removal of printed pigment from a printed cotton fabric surface.
- the presence of certain proteolytic enzymes, in particular those having a high isoelectric point, and of relatively high levels of carbonate cobuilder has been found to exarcebate this effect.
- the Applicant has surprisingly found that this problem can be ameliorated by the use in the detergent composition of proteolytic enzyme having an isoelectric point below 10.0, and by limiting the level of any carbonate cobuilder.
- the present invention is thus based on the unexpected finding that the printed cotton fabric care profile of a detergent composition comprising zeolite of small particle size, low levels of carbonate builder and containing a protease having an isoelectric point below 10.0 is superior to that of comparable compositions containing other proteases having an isoelectric point of higher than 10.0.
- proteases which have an isoelectric point of higher than 10.0 and which have been found not to afford such a superior printed cotton fabric care profile are Savinase (Trade Mark), which is disclosed, in EP 384070A (Unilever) Opticlean (Trade Mark), Maxacal (Trade Mark), Purafect (Trade Mark), and Esperase (Trade Mark).
- the present invention provides a detergent composition containing
- composition contains less than 7% by weight of the composition of carbonate builder.
- the zeolite builder comprises zeolite P having a silcon to aluminium ratio of not greater than 1.33 (zeolite MAP).
- the detergent composition is free of any proteolytic enzyme which has an isoelectric point greater than 10.0.
