LAUNDRY TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS
The present invention relates to laundry treatment compositions which comprise dye which is substantive to cotton but not to nylon.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
Dyes have been included in laundry treatment products for many years. Perhaps the oldest use of dyes is to add a substantive coloured dye to coloured clothes which require rejuvenation of colour for example a substantive blue dye for rejuvenation of denim. These compositions usually contain a relatively high concentration of substantive dye.
More recently non-substantive dyes have also been used to colour otherwise white laundry detergent compositions. In the case of particulate detergents this has been in the form of so-called speckles to add colour to an otherwise white powder, however laundry detergent powders which are completely blue are also known. When dyes have been included in laundry treatment products in this way it was regarded as essential that non-substantive dyes were used to prevent undesired staining of washed fabrics.
Tt is also known that a small amount of blue or violet dye impregnated into an otherwise ‘white’ fabric can appear to have enhanced whiteness as described in Industrial Dyes (K.Hunger ed Wiley-VCH 2003). Modern white fabrics are sold with some dye in their material in order to enhance the whiteness at the point of sale of the garment. This dye is often blue or violet though other colours are used. However once these garments are worl and subsequently washed with a detergent composition the dye is rapidly removed from the fabric often due to dissolution by a surfactant solution.
Dye is also lost by reaction with bleach in the wash and fading due to light. This results in a gradual loss of whiteness in addition to any other negative whiteness effects such as soiling. In many cases this leads to the appearance of a yellow colour on the cloth. -
US 3,762,859 (Colgate) discloses a range of direct and acid dyes in laundry treatment compositions but the only acid dyes exemplified have been found to have unacceptable build- up on nylon.
Us 3,755,201 (Colgate) discloses a range of direct dyes in a laundry treatment composition.
Us 3,748,093 (Colgate) discloses a range of direct and acid dyes in laundry treatment compositions but which have unacceptable build-up on nylon and cotton. . SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present inventor has surprisingly found that certain dyes when applied to a fabric during the normal wash lifetime of the fabric provide an aesthetically pleasing colour shade and where required a visual perception of whiteness.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a laundry treatment composition comprising a surfactant and from
0.0001 to 0.02 wt % of a photostable acid red dye which is selected from the following structures: 7
NH B
N” s 9 HN” 8 0) ~N so J Frsor sof For 6 6 4 and 4 ‘ wherein: the naphthyl is substituted by the two SO3;- groups in one of the following selected orientations about ring: 7,8; 6,8; 5,8; 4,8; 3,8; 7,6; 7,5; 7,4; 7,3; 6,5; 6,4; 5,4; 5.3, and 4,3;
B is an aryl group selected from phenyl and naphthyl, the aryl group substituted with a group independently selected from: one -NH2 group; one -NH-Ph group; one -N=N-C6H5; one -N=N-C10H7 group; one or more -OMe; and, one or more -Me, and a second dye present in an amount from 0.0001 to 0.02 wt $ which together with the acid red dye have the visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on cotton of from 540nm to 650nm.
It is most preferred that the laundry treatment composition is segregated from the dyes present such that the dyes and any peroxyl species present are not in contact with the dyes, as defined above, present in the composition. It is preferred that the laundry treatment composition is substantially devoid of any peroxyl species such that the laundry treatment composition comprises less than 1 wt %, most preferably less than 0.3 wt % of a peroxyl species.

The present invention relates to compositions which are used to treat laundry items such as clothes. Such compogitions are preferably laundry detergent compositions used for washing (especially particulate detergents, liquid detergents, laundry bars, pastes, gels or tablets), laundry fabric conditioners used for softening fabrics, pre- treatment products, post-treatment products, tumble dryer products, ironing products etc. Preferably they are laundry treatment products which are applied in an aqueous environment. The laundry treatment compositions of the present invention preferably have a pH in solution of 7 to 11.
The dyes may be incorporated into the treatment products in a wide variety of ways. For example dyes which are not sensitive to heat may be included in the slurry which is to be spray dried when the treatment product is a particulate detergent composition. Another way of incorporating dyes into particulate detergent products is to add them to granules which are post-added to the main detergent powder.
In this case there may be a concentration of dye in the granules which could present the danger of spotting and dye damage on the clothes to be treated. This can be avoided if the concentration of dye in the granules ig less than 0.1%.
For liquid products the dyes are simply added to the liquid and blended in substantially homogeneously.
The dyes
Dyes are conventionally defined as being reactive, disperse, direct, vat, sulphur, cationic, acid or solvent dyes. The dyes of the present invention are acid dyes.
It is preferred that the aryl group of the photostable acid red dye is substituted with a substituent selected from: one -OMe, and one -Me. It is preferred that the aryl group is phenyl.
The following are preferred structures of the photostable acid dye: ~
Nh
NH NH
{ { 0) | 0)
N or 0] HN ~N 0 HN ~N and, .
The orientation of the sulphonate groups (SO;-) are preferably 6,8 about the ring.
The photostable acid dye is most preferably: - N~ \N
SO, N N 0)
SO.,- 3 , which is commercially available as Acid Red 73 (CI 27230) in the form of the sodium salt.
The photostable acid dye is preferably in the form of an alkali metal salt, most preferably the sodium salt.
It is preferred that the laundry treatment composition comprises a second dye present in an amount from 0.0001 to 0.02 wt % which together with the photostable acid red dye have the visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on cotton of from 540nm to 650nmm, most preferably from 570nm to 630nm. This effect provides the appearance of violet. The second dye most preferably is an acid dye which deposits on cotton but not nylon. The following are preferred examples of the second dye: acid black 1 and acid blue 29 of which acid black 1 is the most preferred.
It is preferred that the dyes of the present invention are substantive to non-mercerised cotton. This means that the dye has a substantivity to non-mercerised cotton in a standard test of greater than 8%, preferably greater than 10%, more preferably greater than 20%, most preferably greater than 40%, wherein the standard test is with a dye concentration such that the solution has an optical density of approximately 1 (5 cm pathlength) at the maximum absorption of the dye in the visible wavelengths (400- 700nm), a sodium lauryl alkyl benzene sulphonate surfactant concentration of 0.3 g/L, inorganic non-surfactant salt concentration of 1.1 g/l and under wash conditions of a liquor to cloth ratio of 45:1, temperature of 20°C, soak times of 45 minutes, agitation time of 10 minutes. The substantivity percentage is calculated by measuring the optical density before and after absorption onto the test cloth. Higher substantivities are preferred as this means less dye must be added to the formulation to achieve the effect. This is also preferred for reasons of cost and also because excess levels of dye in the formulation can lead to an unacceptable level of dye colour in the wash liquor and also in the treatment composition.
Conversely, the dyes of the present invention preferably have a substantivity to nylon of less than 5%, preferably less than 2% as determined by the above method.
Because the dyes are substantive, only a small amount is required to provide the enhanced whiteness effect hence the treatment composition comprises from 0.0001 to 0.02 wt%, preferably from 0.0005 to 0.01 wt% of the dye, more preferably from 0.001 to 0.01 wt%.
The dyes of the present invention are photostable. A photostable dye is a dye which does not quickly photodegrade in the presence of natural summer sunlight. A photostable dye in the current context may be defined as a dye which, when on non-mercerised cotton, does not degrade by more than 20% when subjected to 1 hour of irradiation by gimulated
Florida sunlight (42 W/m’ in UV and 343 W/m? in visible).
It is preferable that the dyes have a blue and/or violet shade. This can mean that the peak absorption frequency of the dye absorbed on the cloth lies within the range of from 550nm to 650nm, preferably from 570mm to 630nm. It is also possible that the same effect can be achieved by a combination of dyes, each of which not necessarily having a peak absorption within these preferred ranges but together produce an effect on the human eye which is equivalent to a single dye with a peak absorption within one of the preferred ranges. :
Commercial acid dyes are described in Industrial Dyes (K.Hunger ed Wiley-VCH 2003). A compilation of available dyes is the Colour Index published by Society of Dyer and
Colourists and American Association of Textile Chemists and
Colorists 2002 (see http: //www.colour-index.org) . :
To avoid shade changes caused by pick or loss of a proton it is preferred that the dye does not have a pKa or pKb at or near the pH of the product. Most preferably no pKa or pKb in the pH range of from 7 to 11.
It is preferred that the dye has a high extinction coefficient, so that a small amount of dye gives a large amount of colour. Preferably the extinction coefficient at the maximum absorption of the dye is greater than 1000 mol 1L cm’, preferably greater than 10,000 mol™ L cml, more preferably greater than 50,000 mol? L cm.

To determine the substantivity of a dye the following experiment was performed. A stock solution of 1.5g/L of a base washing powder in water was created. The washing powder contained 18% NaLAS, 73% salts (silicate, sodium tri- poly-phosphate, sulphate, carbonate), 3% minors including perborate, fluorescer and enzymes, remainder impurities and water. The solution was divided into 60ml aliquots and dye added to this to give a solution of optical density of approximately 1 (5 cm pathlength) at the maximum absorption of the dye in the visible lengths, 400-700nm. The optical density was measured using a UV-visible spectrometer. 1 piece of bleached, non-mercerised, non-fluorscent woven non- mercerised cotton cloth (ex Phoenic Calico) weighing 1.3g was placed in the solution at room temperature (20°C). This cloth represents a slightly yellow cotton. The cloth was ! left to soak for 45 minutes then the solution agitated for 10 mins, rinsed and dried. Following this the optical density of the solution was re-measured and the amount of dye absorbed by the cloth calculated.
Acid red 73 (CI 27230) gave a deposition value of 14% with cotton cloth.
Example 2: Deposition on Nylon
Deposition onto nylon fabric was measured in an entirely analogous manner to Example 1, except nylon was used a ’ fabric.
For acid red 73 (CI 27230) this gave a deposition value of 0% to nylon.
Example 3
Acid red 73 was mixed with acid black 1 in solution. A violet shade solution was obtained indicating that the mixture provides a violet shading effect to cotton fabrics.
Example 4
The experiment of Example 1 was repeated with a range of red dyes of different structural type to those of the present invention and the results represented in the table below.
Many acid red dyes outside the present invention are not substantive to cotton or have a substantively to cotton that is below the threshold required. The preferred dyes that are complementary to the acid red dyes are also shown to be substantive to cotton.

Example 5: Deposition on nylon
Acid dyes were taken and Experiment 1 was repeated except nylon was used as fabric for washing. The results are shown in the table below. ‘
Acid red 88 12.7
Acid red 266 16.3
Acid blue 29 0.0
Acid blue 113 17.1
Acid black 1 1.0 acid black 24 18.8
Example 6
From Example 5, the dyes which deposited more than 5% onto nylon, were entered into a multi-wash under analogous conditions to Example 1. Here the colour build up is expressed as deltaE relative to a clean undyed piece of nylon and the results shown in the table below.

Tt can be seen that dyes which deposit on nylon at greater than 5% also suffer from unwanted build-up of the dye over multiple washes.
