Description
C 7044 (R) ;4~S04 COLOURED BLEACHING COMPOSITIONS
. .
The present invention relates to aqueous, coloured, bleaching compositions, particularly alkali metal hypo-chlorite compositions.
By bleaching compositions are meant aqueous com-positions comprising an oxygen or chlorine bleaching agent, 5uch as hydrogen peroxide, organic or inorganic persalts (with or without a bleach precursor), organic or inorganic peracids, and alkali metal hypochlorites.
Hereinafter the invention will be describad and exem-plified with particular reference to alkali metal hypo-chlorite compositions, but it is to be understood that the present invention is also applicable to the above other bleaching compositions..
Aqueous solutions of alkali metal hypochlorites have been known and used since ages unknown. Normally, they consist of an alkali metal hypochlorite, dissolved in water, and are used for general bleaching and disin-fecting purposes. Such solutions are normally straw-coloured, and in order to ma~e them more attractive and more distinguishable from other household products, attempts have been made to impart to them a more dis-tinguishable, a~sthetically attractive colour.
The~e hypochlorite solutions, however, form a stronglyoxidizing environment, and consequently the choice of a colouring additive is very limited, restricted to only such colouring additives that are stable in these ~trongly oxidizing media~ Potassium permanganate and potassium di~hromate are such colouring a~ent~, bl~t they impart aesthetically less attractive colours (pur-ple and yellow). Ultramarine Blue has al80 been pro-posed, bu~ this pigment tends to settle out from the C 7044 (R) compositions during storage.
During the last decade, thickened aqueous hypochloritesolutions have become known and marketed. The~e are 5 aqueous solutions of an alkali metal hypochlorite which have been thickened by the inclusion therein of a mix-ture of two different detergent surfactants. The above problems accompanying colouring aqueous hypochlorite solutions also occur on colouriny such thickened com-positions, but the problem of storage stability ariseseven with such thickened compositions. Unless major changes are made in the thickening system, the pigment particles tend to settle out, and if major changes are made, this settling out can be reduced, but the thickening effect is significantly impaired.
It has also been proposed to use a floc system in such thickened hypochlorite compositions to prevent the par-ticulate colouring agent from settling out, such a floc system comprising, inter alia, a polymer latex. A1-though such a polymer latex may provide an improved physical stability of the particulate colouring agent in the hypochlorite compositions, it does not provide coloured products which are chemically stable over longer periods.
It has now been found that the chemical and physical stability of pigments as colouring agents in aqueous alkali metal hypochlorite compositions can be improved by coating the pigments with a coating of a bleach-resistant polymer.
It has already been proposed in US Patent Specifi-cation~ 3,666,680 (Briggs) and 3,655,566 (~vbinson) to include optical brighteners in liquid hypochlorite com-positions, whereby these optical brighteners are pro-tectively enclosed in the inner portion of a two-layer .. .. . ., . ... . ... . ... ,. . . . . . ~j .: . , ,., .. ,~.. . . .

synthetic polymer particle. This is achieved by dis-solving the optical brightener in the oil-soluble mono-mer, copolymerizing the monomer-brightener solution with a vinyl acid, and subsequently performing a second polymerization with the hydrophobic monomer, whereby an impermeable film is formed around the previously ob-tained polymer-brightener particles. Although this prior proposal also mentions the possibility of using dyes and pigments such as Ultramarine Blue, Monastral Fast Green GWD, etc., it i8 primarily directed to optical brightening agents.
These polymer particles, however, contain a hydrophilic monomer as well, and in thickened liquid hypochlorite compositions they do not give a satisfactorily stable colour. Furthermore, these particles have an average particle siæe in ths range of 0.1-2 micron or O.S-2 micron, which is not suitable to produce compositions which are physically stable without the need of a sus-pending agent.
Recently, it has been described in GB-Al- 2 100 307 to include a hypochlorite solution stable, suspendable dye particle in a liquid bleaching and dyeing compo~ition.
These particles contain a dye which is resistant to attack by hypochlorous acid, which dye is incorporated in a hydrophobic latex. The dye is incorporated or "em-bedded" in a highly hydrophobic matrix, thus shielding it from actual contact with the hypochlorite.
Dyes, however, are discrete molecular units, whereas pigments are agglomerations of molecules into particles of microscopic rather than molecular (5-50 Angstroms~
dimensions. ~he dyes of the above propo~al mu~t be æoluble in the organic/monomeric phas In addition, low chromophore to polymer ratios are required to get a high proportion of the finished particles to be polymer to get some effective physical entrapment.
We have now found that pigments, i.e. colourants which are insoluble in the organic and a~ueous pha~e, which have been coated with a pxotective coating in a ~ingle-stage process have an improved stability against attack by hypochlorite and do not cause any significant physical storage stability problems when used in an aqueous bleaching composition.
In its broadest aspect, therefore, the present inven-tion relates to coloured aqueous alXali metal hypo-chlorite compositions, comprising as colouring agent a colloidally stable, coated pigmen~ which has been coatad with a bleach-resistant polymer.
Surprisingly, the~e coated pigments are colloidally at least as stable, or in many cases more ~table than the uncoated pigments. In addition, often less coated pigment particles than dyed latices are required to colour the aqueous hypochlorite 601ution to the same inten~ity.
The invention will hereafter be described in more detail.
The pigments which can be used in the present invention can be of any type, as long as they are insoluble in the organic and aqueous phase and are of a relatively small av~rage particle size (e.g.rV 1000 A). They can include metallated and non-metallated synthetic pig-ments a6 well as organic and inorganic pigments.
Typical examples are given in the following list.

BlacX 5 - Mordant/Metal Mixtures of various pigments can equally be used. Pre-ferably, non-metallated pigments are used in bleaching compositions which are susceptible to decomposition by metal ion catalysis, but metallated pigments when used according ~o the present invention show already a sig-nificant improvement in thi~ respect in comparison with the uncoated pigments, without any significant physical stability problem. Thu6 it has been found that a copper-containing halogenated phthalocyanine, when used ac-cording to the present inven~ion, causes substantially less decomposition o~ the bleaching composition than the ~ame uncoated pigment, and less settling out of the pigment particles. When metallated pigments are used, it is sometimes advantageous to use a metal ~ques-tering agent in the composition, such as a periodate or other suitable metal-chelating agent which is stable in the bleaching composition in amounts of up to about 5%
by weight o the coated pigment added, to reduce the decomposition even further.
The coating The coating material to be used in the present inven-tion should be bleach-resi~tantO Any organic material can be u~ed, as long a~ the pigment is no~ soluble ~ 5~ C 7044 (R) therein. Preferably, organic materials are used in which the pigment is readily dispersible. ~uitable materials are (co)polymers prepared from a hydrophobic monomer which is capable of undergoing emulsion poly-merization.
Typical examples are styrene, alkyl styrene3 with one to four carbon a~oms in the alkyl group, monohalogen-ated styrenes, acrylates, methacrylates, vinylesters, ethylene and vinylchloride. A particularly suitable material is polystyrene.
The coating process is carried out in a manner known per se, by introducing the pigment particles into an aqueous emulsion polymerization of styrene, using a common i~itiator such as potassium persulphate, a~obi~-(isobutyramidine hydrochloride) or 4,4'-azobis-(4-cyanovaleric acid). It has ~een found that higher con-centrations of initiator than are usual for convention-al emulsion polymerization favour the coating of thepigment particles.
The concentration ratio of monomer to pigment should be such that there i8 sufficient monomer present to just coat all the particles to avoid the formation of un-coloured polymeric latices. For e.g. styrene and Pig-ment Green 7 (C.I. N 74260), the most eff ctive styrene/pigment ratio was found to be 5:1.
To aid the dispersal of the pigment in the polymer-ization reaction mixture, a suitable surfactant, such as a nonionic or an anionic synthetic detergent, can be advantageously added.
The com~osition The coated pigments of the present invention are suit-C 7044 (R) 50~
able for colouring aqueous bleaching compositions, both thickened and non-thickened ones. These compositions may contain other ingredients, which are governed by the purpose for which these compo~itions are u~ed, such as heavy-duty liquid fabric-bleaching and -washing com-positions, liquid fabric~softening compositions, hair-bleaching compositions, hygienic cleaning compositions, hard-surface-cleaning compositions, etc. Thu~, they preferably contain one or more detergent-active com-pounds. Further ingredients commonly encountered in such products may be included in the compositions of the inven~ion. As said before, the bleaching agent can comprise both oxygen and chlorine ~leaching agants, as well a~ reducing bleaches.
The coated pigments of the present invention are par-ticularly suitable for thickened aqueous alkali hypo-chlorite compositions such a~ described in GB-A-1 329 086, EP-Al- 00 30401, GB-A- 1 548 379, GB-A-1 466 560, GB-Al- 2 003 522, GB-Al- 2 041 162, GB-Al-2 076 010 and GB-Al- 2 046 321.
The amount of coated pigments used in the bleach com-position varies from 0.0005 to 10% by weight, prefer-ably ~rom O.OOl to 1% by weight.
The invention will now further be illustrated by way of example.
In the following examples, the bleaching composition was a current commercial thickened h~pochlorite bleaching composition, Domestos~ manufactured and sold by Lever Brothers Ltd. This product is a prcduct ac-cording to GB Patent l 329 086.

_thod Colanyl Green GG was dispersed in water (970 g) and heated to 82C. The dispersion was purged with nitrogen for 15 minutes and styrene was added with vigorous s~irring. 4,4'-a~obis-(4-cyanovaleric acid) was slurried in the remaining water and added to the re-actants. Polymerization was continued for 6 hours at82C. The latex was steam-stripped to remove any un-converted monomer and filtered through glase wool.
Transmi~sion ~lectron Microscopy ~howed that the pig-ment particles were encapsulated within a sheath of polystyrene, and that the average size of the~e particles was 900 A.
Stability in Thickened ~ypochlorite A sample of the above dispersion was added to Domestos at 200 ppm to give a clear, green colouration. Both colour and colloidal stability were maintained for 8 weeks at 37C. In gassing studies hypochlorite con-taining polymer-protected pigment s~owed dramatically 35 less gassing than a sample containing Colanyl Green (order 100 times less gassing).

_thod Colanyl Green GG was dispersed in water (970 g) and heated to 82C. The dispersion was purged with nitrogen for 15 minutes and styrene was added with vigorous s~irring. 4,4'-a~obis-(4-cyanovaleric acid) was slurried in the remaining water and added to the re-actants. Polymerization was continued for 6 hours at82C. The latex was steam-stripped to remove any un-converted monomer and filtered through glase wool.
Transmi~sion ~lectron Microscopy ~howed that the pig-ment particles were encapsulated within a sheath of polystyrene, and that the average size of the~e particles was 900 A.
Stability in Thickened ~ypochlorite A sample of the above dispersion was added to Domestos at 200 ppm to give a clear, green colouration. Both colour and colloidal stability were maintained for 8 weeks at 37C. In gassing studies hypochlorite con-taining polymer-protected pigment s~owed dramatically 35 less gassing than a sample containing Colanyl Green (order 100 times less gassing).
