Abstract: An activating composition for bleaching textiles with peroxide products, taining an activator of the cyanamide type or derivative thereof, further contains a ternary protective mixture comprising a magnesium silicate precipitated in the finely divided powder state, a sequestering agent of the acetic type, preferably organoacetic, and a sequestering agent of the phosphonic type, preferably organophosphonic. The composition finds its application in activation of bleaching at moderate temperature with protection of textile fibers, of household washing powders at moderate temperature (30.degree. to 60.degree. C.) or any temperature (up to 90.degree. C.).

Abstract: Stabilizing compositions for peroxide products, which contain colloidal magnesium silicate associated with diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid and diethylenetriaminepentamethylene phosphonic acid. These stabilizing compositions are intended particularly for use in home and industrial laundry powders.

Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of dilute solutions of aliphatic rboxylic peracids.In a first step, a concentrated solution of aliphatic peracid is prepared from the corresponding acid or anhydride and concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a strong acid catalyst, preferably the minimum quantity necessary for obtaining equilibrium in the system within 48 hours; and in a second step, the concentrated solution of aliphatic peracid is diluted with a solution containing at least one of the reagents, so as to bring the concentration of aliphatic peracid to the rated concentration of the mixture.The method is applicable inter alia to the preparation of stable dilute solutions of peracetic acid.
