Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition, in particular a heavy duty liquid detergent (HDL) that combines good color maintenance and good whitening effects and thus can be used as a universal laundry detergent for all fabrics, including colored fabrics.
  • the detergent composition comprises an optical brightener, a dye transfer inhibitor, a chlorine scavenger and a surfactant system.
  • the invention further relates to methods for washing of textiles using the detergents of the invention.
  • Liquid detergent compositions are well-known in the art and widely used. Over recent years, the have become more and more popular with the consumers because they offer a number of advantages over solid compositions, including, for example, the ease of dosing, dispensing and dissolving into a laundering liquor. In addition, they are perceived to be safer and less harsh to the textiles and environment compared to solid compositions. In particular for laundering colored fabrics they have gained popularity ever since their introduction on the market.
  • Colored fabrics are known to be sensitive and warrant special care during the normal wash cycle. On the one hand, they tend to release dye into the wash solution which can cause fading and, even more problematic, can transfer to other fabrics in the same wash solution or to other differently colored pats of the same fabric. As this dye release and transfer are highly undesired, detergents for colored fabrics typically contain components that inhibit dye transfer between fabrics during the wash. Widely known dye transfer inhibitors that can be used for this purpose include copolymers of N-vinylimidazole and N-vinylpyrrolidone as well as polyvinylpyrrolidone.
  • Optical brighteners also called fluorescent whitening agents, are also often used in laundry detergents to provide appearance benefits as they compensate for the undesirable yellowish cast often found in white or light colored fabrics after the wash.
  • Optical brighteners when used for laundering colored fabrics, they can cause an undesirable color hue shift.
  • dye transfer inhibitors when used in conjunction with dye transfer inhibitors, they often form complexes, resulting in undesirably cloudy products.
  • the known incompatibility between optical brighteners on the one hand and dye transfer inhibitors on the other hand is the main reason why there still exist separate products for laundering colored fabrics and white fabrics, respectively.
  • International patent publication WO 2004/031335 reports liquid detergents for laundering colored fabrics that include dye transfer inhibitors and additionally chlorine scavengers but are substantially free of optical brighteners.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a liquid detergent composition comprising
  • At least one optical brightener preferably in an amount of at least 0.02 wt.-% relative to the total weight of the composition
  • composition (b) at least one polymeric dye transfer inhibitor (DTI), preferably in an amount of at least 0.1 wt.- % relative to the total weight of the composition;

  • At least one relates to one or more, i.e. 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or more. If used in combination with a compound, the term does not relate to the absolute number of molecules but rather to the number of different types of said compound. "At least one alkyl ether sulfate” thus means that at least one type but that also 2 or more different alkyl ether sulfate types can be present.
  • “About”, as used herein, in relation to a numerical value means said numerical value ⁇ 10%, preferably ⁇ 5%. About 10% thus means 10 ⁇ 1 %, preferably 10 ⁇ 0.5%.

  • the detergent further comprises at least one chlorine scavenger.
  • chlorine scavenger refers to any compound or material that is capable of de-activating free chlorine (CI2 and/or hypochlorite) in solution or at the fabric/solution interface. De-activation can take place either by direct reduction of chlorine species by the chlorine scavenger, such as to chloride, or by combination of the chlorine scavenger with a chlorine species to yield a less oxidizing species for dyes or chlorine bleach-sensitive textile fibers than free chlorine.
  • Such less oxidizing species include for example chlorine adducts, e. g., chloramines when the chlorine scavenger contains an amino nitrogen moiety.
  • Chlorine scavengers useful herein typically contain either an atom, site or moiety that is readily halogenated, e. g., a trivalent nitrogen, or another non-nitrogen electron-rich site or moiety which is readily susceptible to attack by chlorine or hypochlorite.
  • Chlorine scavengers useful herein include non-polymeric types which tend to be the most rapidly reacting, and polymeric types, which can be preferred on account of lower tendency to be associated with odors. Also the chlorine scavenger can be nitrogen-containing or nitrogen-free.

More generally a class of preferred non-polymeric nitrogen containing chlorine scavengers to which monoethanolamine belongs are non-polymeric nitrogen containing chlorine scavengers selected from hydroxyl-functional primary amines, hydroxyl-functional secondary amines and mixtures thereof wherein such hydroxyl-functional amines comprise from two to eight carbon atoms. These highly preferred chlorine scavenger compounds have the unusual combination of properties of simultaneously having chlorine scavenging properties, polar solvent properties, buffering properties, and the capacity to act as neutralizing agents for the acid form of anionic detersive surfactants or for fatty acids. Other chlorine scavengers in this class include diethanolamine, isopropanolamine, and mixtures of such lower alkanolamines with monoethanolamine or with each other.

  • nitrogen-containing chlorine scavenger can be used as a neutralizer or counter-ion for an anionic species of the composition, such as an anionic surfactant
  • this provides another salt form in which the chlorine scavenger can be introduced into the composition.
  • the amino-functional cation of the chlorine scavenger will be accounted as a chlorine scavenger component and the surfactant anion as a surfactant component of the composition.
  • Other less preferred nitrogen containing chlorine scavengers include hydrazine or its derivatives.

  • Non-limiting examples of polymeric nitrogen containing chlorine scavengers useful herein include any suitable nitrogen containing polymeric derivatives, such as polyamines, polyimines, polyamidines, polyacrylamides, proteins, polypeptides of natural or synthetic origin, such as hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, derivatives of chitin or chitosan, and mixtures thereof.
  • Polyamines are addition or condensation products from multivalent aliphatic amines and compounds with several groups capable of reacting, for example, epichlohydrin or alkylene dihalides. Therefore they contain several secondary, tertiary, or even quaternary nitrogen atoms; moreover they may further optionally comprise one or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule.
  • Polyimines especially polyethyleneimines, may have desirable reactivity and physical attributes.
  • Polyethyleneimines are obtained by acid-catalyzed polymerization of ethyleneimine and can be modified by urea and epichlorhydrin or dichloretheane.
