Abstract:
There is provided a detergent composition comprising: (a) a detergent component selected from the group consisting of a builder and a surfactant; and (b) an amino tricarboxylic acid, wherein said amino tricarboxylic acid has rate of dissolution, such that in the T5O test method, described herein, the time taken to achieve 50 % dissolution of amino tricarboxylic acid is less than 100 seconds.
Abstract:
There is provided a bleaching composition having enhanced hydrophilic stain removal capability comprising a metal-containing bleach catalyst, an oxygen-releasing bleach system; and an amino tricarboxylic acid or salt thereof having general formula (I), where R1, R2, and R3 are alkyl groups or substituted alkyl groups of chain length C1 to C4; n is 0 or 1; and X is an organic substituent group.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a bleaching composition comprising (a) a percarbonate bleach compound; and (b) an amino tricarboxylic acid or salt thereof exhibiting improved soil and stain removal.
Abstract:
There is provided a detergent composition comprising (a) an organic polymer containing acrylic acid or its salts, having an average molecular weight of less than 15,000; and (b) an amino tricarboxylic acid or its salts or complexes or any mixture thereof exhibiting improved soil and stain removal.
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.
