Definitions
- This invention relates to fabric-washing compositions. More particularly it relates to an improved low temperature bleaching fabric-washing composition comprising a peroxide compound, a peroxyacid bleach precursor and enzymes.
- active oxygen-releasing peroxide compounds are effective bleaching agents. These compounds are frequently incorporated in detergent compositions for stain and soil removal. They have, however, an important limitation: the activity is extremely temperature-dependent. Thus, active oxygen-releasing bleaches are essentially only practical when the bleaching solution is heated above 60°C. At a bleach solution temperature of about 60°C, extremely high amounts of the active oxygen-releasing compounds must be added to achieve any bleaching effect. This is both economically and practically disadvantageous. As the bleach solution temperature is lowered below 60°C, peroxide compounds, e.g. sodium perborate, are rendered ineffective, regardless of the level of peroxide compound added to the system.
- peroxide compounds e.g. sodium perborate
- peroxide compounds are commonly used as a detergent adjuvant in textile wash processes that utilize an automatic household washing machine operating at wash water temperatures of below 60°C. Such wash temperatures are utilized because of textile care and energy considerations. Consequently, a constant need has developed of substances which render peroxide compound bleaches more effective at bleach solution temperatures below 60°C. These substances are generally referred to in the art as bleach precursors, promoters or activators.
- the precursor is a reactive compound of the N-acyl or O-acyl type such as a carboxylic acid ester that in alkaline solution containing a source of hydrogen peroxide, e.g. a persalt, such as sodium perborate, will generate the corresponding peroxyacid, which is more reactive than peroxide compounds alone.
- a source of hydrogen peroxide e.g. a persalt, such as sodium perborate
- the reaction involves nucleophilic substitution on to the precursor molecule by perhydroxide anions (HOO ⁇ ) and is facilitated by precursors having good leaving groups. Often this reaction is referred to as perhydrolysis.
- perhydrolysis Numerous substances have been proposed in the art as effective bleach precursors, promoters or activators, such as disclosed in a series of articles by Allan H.
- the precursor is also a hydrolysable material which can react with moisture and alkaline components of the detergent compositions during storage, forming non-reactive products.
- This reaction referred to as hydrolysis, causes loss of precursor during storage when incorporated in detergent compositions, the extent of which is highly dependent upon the ease at which the precursor undergoes the hydrolysis reaction.
- TAED N,N,N',N'-tetraacetylethylene diamine
- TAED One drawback of TAED, however, is the sluggishness of the peroxyacid release from the reaction with the peroxide compound liberating hydrogen peroxide, such as sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate, sodium persilicate, urea peroxide and the like, resulting in a non-optimal bleaching effect.
- TAED can thus be classed as a slow-acting precursor, which can be incorporated in enzymatic alkaline detergent compositions without undue stability problems.
- TAED has a solubility in water, i.e. somewhere in the region of 1%, which is another reason for the non-optimal bleaching performance of TAED/H2O2 systems.
- TAED/peroxide compound systems With the trend towards still lower fabric-washing temperatures, to e.g. 40°C and below, there is an incentive to improve on the bleaching performance of TAED/peroxide compound systems.
- One option is to replace TAED by a more reactive precursor, such as for example sodium p-acetoxybenzene sulphonate as disclosed in GB patent 846,798.
- EP-A-0098129 is concerned with forming aliphatic peroxy acids in wash solution by reaction of certain types of peroxyacid precursors with alkaline hydrogen peroxide.
- the precursor is added in the form of a detergent additive product comprising the precursor in combination with a non-particulate flexible substrate.
- EP-A-0241137 is concerned with forming a storage-stable liquid laundry bleach formulation containing peracid precursors.
- a disadvantage of such more reactive precursors is that they tend to (per)hydrolyse more readily than tetraacetylethylene diamine (TAED), and hence suffer from a more severe decomposition problem during storage.
- TAED tetraacetylethylene diamine
- Another disadvantage of more reactive precursors is that they tend to more readily attack enzymes, especially proteolytic enzymes, which as a class is an essential ingredient in the majority of current household fabric-washing compositions.
- the invention therefore provides an improved alkaline fabric-washing composition
- a surface-active material comprising a surface-active material, detergency builders, a peroxide compound bleach, a peroxyacid bleach precursor and a proteolytic enzyme, characterized in that said peroxyacid bleach precursor is a carboxylic acid ester of the following specific structural formulae: wherein R is an unsubstituted alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group; and M is hydrogen, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or alkyl or hydroxyalkyl substituted ammonium cation.
- the alkaline fabric-washing compositions of the invention comprising the peroxyacid bleach precursor described herein will have a 2-5 g/l solution pH of 8.5-10.5.
- the compounds of the invention are much more reactive than TAED and are surprisingly stable upon storage both alone and when mixed with additional components in alkaline fabric-washing detergent compositions.
- Hydrogen peroxide sources are well known in the art. They include 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 persulphates. Mixtures of two or more such compounds may also be suitable. Particularly preferred are sodium perborate tetrahydrate and, especially, sodium perborate monohydrate. Sodium perborate monohydrate is preferred because it has excellent storage stability while also dissolving very quickly in aqueous bleaching solutions. Rapid dissolution is believed to permit formation of higher levels of percarboxylic acid which would enhance surface bleaching performance.
- the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide (or a peroxide compound generating the equivalent amount of H2O2) to precursor will range from 0.5:1 to about 20:1, preferably 1:1 to 15:1, most preferably from 2:1 to 10:1.
- a detergent formulation of the invention containing a bleach system consisting of an active oxygen-releasing material and the specific carboxylic acid ester as herein defined will, in addition to surface-active materials, detergency builders and enzymes, usually also contain other known ingredients of such formulations.
- the peroxyacid bleach precursor may be present at a level ranging from about 0.1% to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.5% to 10% by weight, particularly from 1% to 7.5% by weight, together with a peroxide bleaching compound, e.g. sodium perborate mono- or tetrahydrate, the amount of which is usually within the range of from about 2% to 40%, preferably from about 4% to 30%, particularly from about 10% to 25% by weight.
- a peroxide bleaching compound e.g. sodium perborate mono- or tetrahydrate
- the surface-active material may be naturally derived, such as soap, or a synthetic material selected from anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, cationic actives and mixtures thereof. Many suitable actives are commercially available and are fully described in literature, for example in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents", Volumes I and II, by Schwartz, Perry and Berch.
- the total level of the surface-active material may range up to 50% by weight, preferably being from about 1% to 40% by weight of the composition, most preferably 4% to 25%.
- Synthetic anionic surface actives are usually water-soluble alkali metal salts of organic sulphates and sulphonates having alkyl radicals containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, the term alkyl being used to include the alkyl portion of higher aryl radicals.
- suitable synthetic anionic detergent compounds are sodium and ammonium alkyl sulphates, especially those obtained by sulphating higher (C8-C18) alcohols produced, for example, from tallow or coconut oil; sodium and ammonium alkyl (C9-C20) benzene sulphonates, particularly sodium linear secondary alkyl (C10-C15) benzene sulphonates; sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulphates, especially those esters of the higher alcohols derived from tallow or coconut oil and synthetic alcohols derived from petroleum; sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulphates and sulphonates; sodium and ammonium salts of sulphuric acid esters of higher (C9-C18) fatty alcohol alkylene oxide, particularly ethylene oxide, reaction products; the reaction products of fatty acids such as coconut fatty acids esterified with isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide; sodium and ammonium salts of fatty acid amides of
- nonionic surface-active compounds which may be used, preferably together with the anionic surface-active compounds, include in particular the reaction products of alkylene oxides, usually ethylene oxide, with alkyl (C6-C22) phenols, generally 5-25 EO, i.e. 5-25 units of ethylene oxide per molecule; the condensation products of aliphatic (C8-C18) primary or secondary linear or branched alcohols with ethylene oxide, generally 6-30 EO, and products made by condensation of ethylene oxide with the reaction products of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine.
- alkylene oxides usually ethylene oxide
- alkyl (C6-C22) phenols generally 5-25 EO, i.e. 5-25 units of ethylene oxide per molecule
- condensation products of aliphatic (C8-C18) primary or secondary linear or branched alcohols with ethylene oxide generally 6-30 EO
- nonionic surface actives include alkyl polyglycosides, long chain tertiary amine oxides, long chain
- Amounts of amphoteric or zwitterionic surface-active compounds can also be used in the compositions of the invention, but this is not normally desired owing to their relatively high cost. If any amphoteric or zwitterionic detergent compounds are used, it is generally in small amounts in compositions based on the much more commonly used synthetic anionic and nonionic actives.
- soaps may also be incorporated in the compositions of the invention, preferably at a level of less than 25% by weight. They are particularly useful at low levels in binary (soap/anionic) or ternary mixtures together with nonionic or mixed synthetic anionic and nonionic compound.
- Soaps which are used are preferably the sodium, or, less desirably, potassium salts of saturated or unsaturated C10-C24 fatty acids or mixtures thereof.
- the amount of such soaps can be varied between 0.5% and 25% by weight, with lower amounts of 0.5% to 5% being generally sufficient for lather control. Amounts of soap between 2% and 20%, especially between 5% and 10%, are used to give a beneficial effect on detergency. This is particularly valuable in compositions used in hard water when the soap acts as a supplementary builder.

- the amount of proteolytic enzymes normally used in the composition of the invention may range from 0.001% to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.01% to 5% by weight, depending upon their activity. They are generally incorporated in the form of granules, prills or "marumes" in an amount such that the final washing product has proteolytic activity of from about 2-20 Anson units per kilogram of final product.
- the detergent compositions of the invention can contain any of the conventional additives in the amounts in which such materials are normally employed in fabric-washing detergent compositions.
