Definitions
- the present invention relates to the bleaching of textiles with hypochlorite bleaching compositions.
- Bleaching compositions are well-known in the art. Amongst the different bleaching compositions available, those relying on bleaching by hypohalite bleaches such as hypochlorite are often preferred, mainly for performance reasons, especially at lower temperature.
- hypochlorite based- compositions a problem encountered with the use of hypochlorite based- compositions is the resulting damage and/or yellowing of the fabrics being bleached.
- hypohalite-containing composition suitable for use in laundry applications, which provides improved fabric whiteness to fabrics treated therewith.
- hypohalite bleaching composition of a phosphonate ingredient. Indeed, it has been found that improved fabric whiteness and/or safety were obtained with those composition, compared to hypohalite compositions without said phosphonate ingredient. The benefits are particularly noticeable in hypohalite bleaching compositions which further comprise a pH buffering component.
- compositions in the invention are chemically stable.
- chemically stable it is meant that the hypohalite bleaching compositions of the present invention should not undergo more than 15% loss of available chlorine after 5 days of storage at 50°C ⁇ 0.5°C.
- the % loss of available chlorine may be measured using the method described, for instance, in “Analyses des Eaux et Extraits de Javel” by "Lachner syndicalerance de L'eau de Javel et des building connexes", pages 9-10 (1984). Said method consists in measuring the available chlorine in the fresh compositions, i.e. just after they are made, and in the same compositions after 5 days at 50°C.
- compositions in the invention are suitable for the bleaching of different types of fabrics including natural fabrics (e.g., fabrics made of cotton, viscose, linen, silk and wool), synthetic fabrics such as those made of polymeric fibers of synthetic origin as well as those made of both natural and synthetic fibers.
- natural fabrics e.g., fabrics made of cotton, viscose, linen, silk and wool
- synthetic fabrics such as those made of polymeric fibers of synthetic origin as well as those made of both natural and synthetic fibers.
- the compositions in the present invention may be used on synthetic fibers despite a standing prejudice against the use of hypohalite bleaches, especially hypochlorite bleaches, on synthetic fibers, as evidenced by warning on labels of commercially available hypochlorite bleaches and clothes.
- EP 0 743 250 discloses a process producing bleaching compositions comprising phosphonates.
- J07-109,107 discloses compositions comprising hypochlorite and a phosphonate ingredient. None of these prior art documents discloses the fabric whiteness and safety benefits obtained from the provision of a phosphonate ingredient in a hypochlorite composition.
- the present invention encompasses the use, in a hypohalite bleaching composition, of a phosphonate ingredient, for providing improved fabric whiteness and/or safety to the fabrics treated therewith.
- hypohalite bleaching composition for providing improved whiteness and/or safety to the fabrics treated therewith.
- improved whiteness and/or safety it is meant that hypohalite bleaching compositions, with the phosphonate ingredient, provide better whiteness, i.e. less yellowing, and/or fabric safety compared to hypohalite bleaching compositions which do not comprise said phosphonate ingredient.
- the presence of a pH buffering component in the bleaching composition is not compulsory, but is highly preferred.
- Hypohalite bleaches may be provided by a variety of sources, including bleaches that are oxidative bleaches and subsequently lead to the formation of positive halide ions as well as bleaches that are organic based sources of halides such as chloroisocyanurates.
- Suitable hypohalite bleaches for use herein include the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hypochlorites, hypobromites, hypoiodites, chlorinated trisodium phosphate dodecahydrates, potassium and sodium dichloroisocyanurates, potassium and sodium trichlorocyanurates, N- chloroimides, N-chloroamides, N-chloroamines and chlorohydantoins.
- the preferred hypohalite bleaches among the above described are the alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal hypochlorites selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, magnesium, lithium and calcium hypochlorites, and mixtures thereof, more preferably the alkali metal sodium hypochlorite.
- the preferred hypohalite bleaches among the above described are the alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal hypochlorites selected from the group consisting of lithium hypochlorites, calcium hypochlorites, chlorinated trisodium phosphate dodecahydrates, potassium dichloroisocyanurates, sodium dichloroisocyanurates, potassium trichlorocyanurates, sodium trichlorocyanurates, and mixtures thereof, more preferably sodium dichloroisocyanurates and/or calcium hypochlorite.
- the alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal hypochlorites selected from the group consisting of lithium hypochlorites, calcium hypochlorites, chlorinated trisodium phosphate dodecahydrates, potassium dichloroisocyanurates, sodium dichloroisocyanurates, potassium trichlorocyanurates, sodium trichlorocyanurates, and mixtures thereof, more preferably sodium dichloroisocyanurates and/or calcium hypochlorite.
- the liquid compositions in the present invention comprise said hypohalite bleach such that the content of active halide in the composition is of from 0.1% to 20% by weight, more preferably from 2% to 8% by weight, most preferably from 3% to 6% by weight of the composition.
- the solid compositions in the present invention comprise said hypohalite bleach such that the content of active halide in the composition is of from 20% to 95% by weight, more preferably from 25% to 60% by weight of the composition.

- the degree of yellowing can be determined by both visual and instumental grading. Visually, the difference in yellowing between items treated with different compositions can be determined by a team of expert panellists.
