  • Patent number: 9062280
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid cleaning composition comprising a peroxygen bleach, a sulfonated anionic surfactant and an amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactant where the sulfonated anionic surfactant and the amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactants are in a ratio of from 0.1:1 to 13:1. The combination of the sulfonated anionic surfactant and the amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactants provides for high viscosities and improved cleaning performance.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120288570
    Abstract: A hydrogen peroxide composition comprises hydrogen peroxide, a stabilizer system comprising a colloidal stannate, at least one acidifying agent or a salt thereof selected from the group consisting of sulfur-containing acidifying agents, nitric acid, and mixtures and salts thereof. Optionally, the hydrogen peroxide composition comprises an organic phosphonic acid or a salt thereof, such as amino-phosphonate, and/or a free radical scavenger, such as salicylic acid. A cleaning formulation comprises the hydrogen peroxide composition, a pH adjusting agent, and optionally other additives, such as surfactants. The cleaning formulation may be made by mixing the hydrogen peroxide or a precursor thereof, water, colloidal stannate, and at least one acidifying agent, and optionally, adjusting the pH to achieve an alkaline pH.

  • Patent number: 7431775
    Abstract: A stabilized basic aqueous liquid detergent composition is disclosed. The composition comprises hydrogen peroxide, a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer or a mixture of hydrogen peroxide stabilizers, an anionic surfactant or mixture of anionic surfactants, a non-ionic surfactant or mixture of anionic surfactants, and a builder or a mixture of builders. The composition maintains a homogeneous single phase, maintains active oxygen level, and gives a high level of cleaning performance.
