  • Patent number: 8093198
    Abstract: The production of bleaching agent granulates, wherein a particulate peroxide compound and a water soluble polymer which can be ionotropically cross-linked are granulated into a primary granulate using a liquid binding agent containing water, and the primary granulate is brought into contact with a cross-linking agent for the water soluble polymer which can be ionotropically cross-linked. A particle so obtained can be worked into liquid detergents and cleaning agents containing water and remain stable.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060178284
    Abstract: A method for stabilizing particulate peroxycarboxylic acids, in particular imidoperoxycarboxylic acids, (such as, e.g., PAP), which are solid at an ambient temperature in a preferably aqueous dispersion containing surfactants. The dispersion is established in such a way that in the dispersed state a degradation of the peroxycarboxylic acids in the dispersion is prevented or at least reduced or retarded, or that the solubility of the peroxycarboxylic acids in the dispersion is diminished, in particular by minimizing the halide ion content, reducing the pH value to pH values ?7, minimizing the content of free or active surfactants, minimizing the content of non-ionic surfactants, adding complexers, adding catalases or adding a solvent with a low solubility capability for peroxycarboxylic acids etc.

  • Patent number: 5898025
    Abstract: A phosphate-free mildly alkaline, dishwashing detergent composition containing:(a) from 20 to 60% by weight of sodium citrate;(b) from 5 to 50% by weight of alkali metal hydrogen carbonate;(c) from 7 to 12% by weight of alkali metal carbonate;(d) from 2 to 20% by weight of a bleaching agent;(e) from 1 to 8% by weight of a bleaching agent activator; and(f) from 0.2 to 4% by weight of an enzyme, all weights being based on theweight of the composition wherein the composition in the form of a 1% by weight aqueous solution has a pH value of from about 8 to less than 10.
