Definitions

  • Thls invention relates to granular detergent-bleaching compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to detergent-bleaching compositions that provide effective and efficient surface bleaching of soils in laundry processes over a wide range of bleach solution temperatures without excessive damage to dyed fabrics.
  • the detergent-bleaching compositions within the invention contain peroxygen bleaches capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions and specific bleach activators. This invention also relates to mixtures of activators that are especially useful in such compositions
  • peroxygen bleaches are effective for stain and/or soil removal from textiles, but that they are also extremely temperature dependent.
  • Such bleaches are essentially only practicable and/or effective in bleaching solutions, i.e., a bleach and water mixture, wherein the solution temperature is above about 60°C.
  • bleach solution temperatures of about 60°C peroxygen bleaches are only partially effective and, therefore, in order to obtain a desirable level of bleaching performance extremely high levels of peroxygen bleach must be added to the system. This is economically impracticable.
  • peroxygen bleaches are rendered ineffective, regardless of the level of peroxygen bleach added to the system.
  • peroxygen bleaches are commonly used as a detergent adjuvant in textile wash processes that utilize an automatic household washing machine at wash water temperatures below 60°C. Such wash temperatures are utilized because of textile care and energy considerations.
  • bleach activators that render peroxygen bleaches effective at bleach solution temperatures below 60°C. Numerous substances have been disclosed in the art as effective bleach activators.
  • the present invention comprises a granular detergent-bleaching composition comprising:
  • This invention relates to granular solid detergent-bleaching compositions containing peroxygen bleaches capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution and specific bleach activators, hereinafter defined, at specific molar ratios of hydrogen peroxide to bleach activator.
  • Such compositions provide extremely effective and efficient detergency and surface bleaching.
  • the compositions are particularly effective when used to remove dingy soils from textiles. Dingy soils are soils that build up on textiles after numerous cycles of usage and washing and, thus, result in a white textile having a gray or yellow tint. These soils tend to be a blend of particulate and greasy materials. The removal of this type of soil is sometimes referred to as "dingy fabric clean up".
  • the detergent-bleaching compositions of this invention provide such bleaching over a wide range of bleach solution temperatures. Such bleaching is obtained in detergent-bleach solutions wherein the solution temperature is at least about 5°C. Without the bleach activator such peroxygen bleaches would be ineffective and/or impracticable at temperatures below about 60°C.
  • activators containing C 10 acyl groups provide a remarkably safe solid detergent-bleach composition that gives significantly less damage to bleach sensitive dyes, even under stressed conditions than does the corresponding C 8 or Cg acyl group.
  • the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide yielded by the peroxygen bleach to bleach activator is at least about 1.
  • the molar ratio should be greater than about 1.5 and preferably at least about 2.0.
  • increasing such molar ratio above 1.5 results in not only faster formation of the percarboxylic acid, but, most importantly, more percarboxylic acid being formed.
  • the activator may hydrolyze to carboxylic acid before it perhydrolyzes.
  • the percarboxylic acid that is formed can further react with the unreacted bleach activator to form a diacyl peroxide. Consequently, lower concentrations of percarboxylic acid are ultimately achieved and, therefore, bleaching performance is lowered.
  • Such competing chemical reactions are minimized by the addition of more peroxygen bleach. Accordingly, bleaching performance is enhanced, especially for dingy fabrics.
  • ratio can generally be expressed as the molar ratio of peroxygen bleach to bleach activator because the vast majority of peroxygen bleaches yield one mole of hydrogen peroxide per mole of peroxygen bleach.
  • One mole of bleach activator is equal to one acyl group which can undergo perhydrolysis to form a peroxyacid.
  • Optimum bleaching performance is obtained with detergent-bleaching solutions wherein the initial pH of such solution is between about 8.5 and 10.5 and preferably between 9 and 10.3. It is preferred that such pH be greater than 9 to optimize the perhydrolysis reaction and thus surface bleaching performance, and also to help prevent the bleaching solution from having an undesirable odor.
  • the solution odor of C 10 acyl activator is better than that of C 8 or Cg acyl activators when they are used alone. With the preferred mixtures of activators, the solution odor is also much less noticeable.
  • Such pH can be obtained with substances commonly known as buffering agents, which are optional components of the bleaching compositions herein.
  • the peroxygen bleaching compounds useful herein are those capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution. These compounds are well known in the art and include hydrogen peroxide and the alkali metal peroxides, organic peroxide bleaching compounds such as urea peroxide, and inorganic persalt bleaching compounds, such as the alkali metal perborates, percarbonates, perphosphates, and the like. Mixtures of two or more such bleaching compounds can also be used, if desired.
  • Preferred peroxygen bleaching compounds include sodium perborate, commercially available in the form of mono- and tetrahydrates, sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, sodium pyrophosphate peroxyhydrate, urea peroxyhydrate, and sodium peroxide. Particularly preferred are sodium perborate tetrahydrate and, especially, sodium perborate monohydrate. Sodium perborate monohydrate is especially preferred because it is very stable during storage and yet still dissolves very quickly in the bleaching solution. It is believed that such rapid dissolution results in the formation of higher levels of peroxycarboxytic acid and, thus, enhanced surface bleaching performance.
  • the level of peroxygen bleach within compositions of the invention is from about .1% to about 60% and preferably from about 1% to about 20%.
  • the bleach activators within the invention have the general formula: wherein R is an alkyl group containing 9 carbon atoms in at least about 10% of the activator, the remainder of the alkyl groups containing from about 7 to about 10 carbon atoms, and L is a leaving group, the conjugate acid of which has a pK a in the range of from about 6 to about 13.
  • L can be essentially any suitable leaving group.
  • a leaving group is any group that is displaced from the bleach activator as a consequence of the nucleophilic attack on the bleach activator by the perhydroxide anion. This, the perhydrolysis reaction, results in the formation of the peroxycarboxylic acid.
  • a group to be a suitable leaving group it must exert an electron attracting effect. This facilitates the nucleophilic attack by the perhydroxide anion.
  • Leaving groups that exhibit such behavior are those in which their conjugate acid has a pK a in the range of from about 6 to about 13, preferably from about 7 to about 11 and most preferably from about 8 to about 11.
  • Preferred bleach activators are those of the above general formula wherein L is selected from the group consisting of: and mixtures thereof and wherein R is as defined in the general formula, R 2 is an alkyl chain containing from about 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, R 3 is H or R 2 , and Y is H or a solubilizing group.
  • the preferred solubilizing groups are -COO - M + , (-N + R 3 4 )X - and -NR24+O and most preferably and -COO - M + wherein R 4 is an alkyl chain containing from about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, M is a cation which provides solubility to the bleach activator and X is an anion which provides solubility to the bleach activator.
  • M is an alkali metal, ammonium or substituted ammonium cation, with sodium and potassium being most preferred, and X is a halide, hydroxide, methylsulfate or acetate anion.
  • the bleach activators preferably have a leaving group that contains a solubilizing group in order to assist in their dissolution.
  • Preferred bleach activators are those of the above general formula wherein R is a mixture of linear alkyl chains.
  • the preferred bleach activators contain R groups which are linear alkyl chains of which from about 10% to about 90% contain 9 carbon atoms, more preferably from about 20% to about 80%, and L is selected from the group consisting of: and mixtures thereof wherein R, R2, R 3 and Y are as defined above.
  • the activator Preferably less than about 70%, most preferably less than about 50% of the activator contains any single acyl group, for odor reasons.
  • Particularly preferred bleach activators are those of the above preferred formulas wherein L is selected from the group consistina of: and mixtures thereof wherein R 2 is as defined above and Y is -SO 3 - M + or -COO - M + wherein M is as defined above.
  • the most preferred bleach activators have the formula: wherein R is a mixture of linear alkyl chain containing from about 7 to about 10 carbon atoms of which at least about 10% contain 9 carbon atoms, and M is sodium or potassium.
  • Particularly preferred are 60140 mixtures of C8 and C10 acyl chains alone and in combination with a C 9 acyl chain. Mixtures of C 9 and C 10 acyl groups are even more preferred.
  • These mixtures preferably have the leaving groups L which are indicated as being preferred hereinbefore, and have linear alkyl chain R groups. Such mixtures have surprisingly better odor characteristics.
  • the level of bleach activator within the compositions of the invention is from about .1% to about 40%, preferably from about .5% to about 20%, most preferably from about 1% to about 5%.
