Abstract:
The present invention relates to an auxiliary composition, for use in the laundering or treatment of fabrics, comprising a co-particulate admix, the co-particulate admix comprises: (i) clay; and (ii) a hydrophobic component; and (iii) a charged polymeric fabric-softening boosting component; wherein the auxiliary composition further comprises a flocculating aid and optionally one or more adjunct components.
Abstract:
Detergent or bleach composition comprising a host-guest complex of diacyl and/or tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species in the form of an aggregate having a weight average particle size of at least 106 µm wherein the diacyl peroxide bleaching species is selected from diacyl peroxides of the general formula: R 1 -C(O)-OO-(O)C-R 2 in which R 1 represents a C 6 -C 18 alkyl group and R 2 represents an aliphatic group compatible with a peroxide moiety, such that R 1 and R 2 together contain a total of 8 to 30 carbon atoms; the tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species is selected from tetraacyl peroxides of the general formula: R 3 -C(O)-OO-C(O)-(CH 2 )n-C(O)-OO-C(O)-R 3 in which R 3 represents a C 1 -C 9 alkyl group and n represents an integer from 2 to 12.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a solid detergent composition comprising a clay system, said clay system comprises a hectorite clay and a dioctahedral smectite clay, wherein the weight ratio of said hectorite clay to said dioctahedral smectite clay is less than 1:1.
Abstract:
Softening-through-the-wash compositions ("STW compositions") are added to the wash cycle of a laundering process to soften fabrics. The STW compositions of the present invention comprise a particulate fabric softening active having an average particle size of less than about 800 microns in diameter. The STW compositions are substantially free of detersive surfactants and silicone materials. The STW compositions can further comprise a particulate co-softening compound having an average particle size of less than about 800 microns in diameter. The STW compositions comprise an effective amount of the particulate fabric softening active and optional particulate co-softening compound to provide a concentration of the fabric softening active and optional co-softening compound of at least about 50 parts per million when the STW composition is dispensed in a wash solution of the laundering process. Processes to make these STW compositions are also encompassed in the present invention.
Abstract:
Detergent or bleach composition comprising a host-guest complex of diacyl and/or tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species in the form of an aggregate having a weight average particle size of at least 106 μm and an anti-deposition polymer.
Abstract:
Detergent or bleach composition for use in automatic dishwashing comprising a colour stain cleaning system comprising diacyl and/or tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species and a co-bleaching surfactant wherein the diacyl peroxide bleaching species is selected from diacyl peroxides of the general formula: R 1 -C(O)-OO-(O)C-R 2 in which R l represents a C 6 -C 18 alkyl group and R 2 represents an aliphatic group compatible with a peroxide moiety, such that R l and R 2 together contain a total of 8 to 30 carbon atoms; the tetraacyl peroxide bleaching species is selected from tetraacyl peroxides of the general formula: R 3 -C(O)-OO-C(O)-(CH 2 )n-C(O)-OO-C(O)-R 3 in which R 3 represents a C 1 -C 9 alkyl group and n represents an integer from 2 to 12; and wherein the co-bleaching surfactant comprises a cleaning surfactant selected from ethoxylated alcohols, amine oxide surfactants and mixtures thereof.
