  • Patent number: 11731889
    Abstract: Stabilized compositions employing a sequestrant system and a binding system for improving shelf stability and dispensing stability of a solid activated bleach composition are disclosed. The compositions contain a peroxygen source and a catalyst activator which require generation of a peroxycarboxylic acid or other active oxygen sanitizing agent at a point of use. Stabilized compositions employ a sequestrant system including a phosphonic acid and/or dipicolinic acid sequestrant and a binding system comprising an anionic surfactant for a solid formulation of a catalyst activator and peroxygen source to provide shelf stability and dispensing stability for a activated bleach composition. Methods of formulating and use are further disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220033740
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a detergent composition comprising alkali metal carbonate, a chelant selected from the group consisting of MGDA, alkali metal tripolyphosphate, GLDA, and mixtures thereof, alkali metal percarbonate, and a peroxidation catalyst, wherein the molar ratio of chelant to alkali metal percarbonate is in the range of 1.8 to 3.4. The detergent composition is particularly suited for the removal of tea and coffee stains.
