Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition which have improved hypochlorite bleach stability. The detergent composition comprises hypochlorite bleach, a bleach stabilizer, inorganic builder salts, bleach-stable detergent and a thickener. Additionally, the composition provides improved bleach storage stability and its improved hypochlorite bleach functionality. The stabilizer can be a water soluble iodate in an amount sufficient to provide a mole ratio of iodate to available chlorine of 0.08 to 1.67. Alternatively, the stabilizer can be a water soluble iodide/iodine mixture in an iodide to iodine mole ratio of 2:1 to 1:2 present in an amount sufficient to provide a mole ratio of iodide to available chlorine of 0.008 to 0.167.

Abstract: Automatic dishwasher detergent composition is formulated as a linear viscoelastic, pseudoplastic, gel-like aqueous product of exceptionally good physical stability, low bottle residue, low cup leakage, and improved cleaning performance, Linear viscoelasticity and pseudoplastic behavior is attributed by incorporation of cross-linked high molecular weight polyacrylic acid type thickener. Potassium to sodium weight ratios of at least 1/1 minimize amount of undissolved solid particles to further contribute to stability and pourability. Control of incorporated air bubbles functions to provide the product with a bulk density of about 1.26 to 1.40 g/cc which roughly corresponds to the density of the liquid phase. Stearic acid or other fatty acid or salt further improve physical stability.

Abstract: The application is directed to a nonaqueous liquid automatic dishwasher detergent composition containing a dual bleach system. The composition contains a nonaqueous organic carrier liquid, a chlorine bleach source and a bromide compound. In the wash bath the chlorine source reacts with water to form hypochlorite and the bromide compound reacts with a portion of the hypochlorite to form hypobromite. The active ingredients of the dual bleach system are the hypochlorite and hypobromite which provide improved cleaning performance against both proteinaceous and starchy carbohydrate soils. The dishwashing compositions comprise a nonaqueous organic carrier liquid, a surfactant, a chlorine bleach source and a bromide compound, are stable in storage and are readily dispersible in water.
