Definitions
- This invention relates to a low temperature process for washing laundry in a domestic washing machine, and more especially to such a process wherein a high density detergent composition comprising a carbonate/sulphate coated alkali metal percarbonate salt and a bleach activator is delivered to the wash via a dispensing device.
- 'environmentally friendly 1 as applied to such processes has many connotations, but will include those wash processes which consume less energy, principally by operating at lower temperatures, and those which utilize detergent compositions containing fewer environmentally negative components.
- These detergent compositions also preferably are of the so- called, 'compact' type characterised in that they are of higher densities and contain lower amounts of filler salts than conventional laundry detergent products.
- the inorganic perhydrate bleach most widely used in laundry detergent compositions is sodium perborate in the form of either the monohydrate of tetrahydrate.
- concerns about the impact of boron salts on the environment have led to an increasing interest in other perhydrate salts, of which sodium percarbonate is the most readily available.
- Detergent compositions containing sodium percarbonate are known in the art.
- Sodium percarbonate is an attractive perhydrate for use in detergent compositions because it dissolves readily in water, is weight efficient and. after giving up its available oxygen, provides a useful source of carbonate ions for detergency purposes.
- percarbonate salts in laundry detergent compositions has been restricted hitherto by the relative instability of the bleach.
- percarbonate salts decompose rapidly when stored in a moist and/or warm atmsophere. It is known that acceptable storage characteristics may however be obtained through the protection of the carbonate by coating the crystalline product, or by the inclusion of stabilizing agents during its manufacture, or both.
- suitable coating agents have been proposed including silicates and mixtures of inorganic sulphate and carbonate salts.
- coating of the percarbonate bleach improves its storage stability the presence of the coating may act so as to inhibit the performance of the bleach, particularly when used in low temperature washing processes. This is one reason which accounts for the fact that coated percarbonate bleaches have not found widespread use as replacements for perborate bleaches in detergent products.
- a dispensing device containing an effective amount of a granular laundry detergent composition is introduced into th drum of the washing machine before the commencement of the wash, wherein said dispensing device permits progressive relase of said granular laundry detergent composition into the wash liquor during the wash, and wherein said granular laundry detergent composition has a bulk density greater than 650 g/litre and comprises:

- a suds suppressor exemplified by silicones, and silica-silicone mixtures.
- Silicones can be generally represented by alkylated polysiloxane materials while silica is normally used in finely divided forms, exemplified by silica aerogels and xerogels and hydrophobic silicas of various types. These materials can be incorporated as particulates in which the suds suppressor is advantageously releasably incorporated in a water-soluble or water- dispersible, substantially non-surface-active detergent-impermeable carrier. Alternatively the suds suppressor can be dissolved or dispersed in a liquid carrier and applied by spraying on to one or more of the other components.

- the preferred methods of incorporation comprise either application of the suds suppressors in liquid form by spray-on to one or more of the major components of the composition or alternatively the formation of the suds suppressors into separate particulates that can then be mixed with the other solid components of the composition.
- the incorporation of the suds modifiers as separate particulates also permits the inclusion therein of other suds controlling materials such as C20 _ C24 fatty acids, microcrystalline waxes and high MWt copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide which would otherwise adversely affect the dispersibility of the matrix. Techniques for forming such suds modifying particulates are disclosed in the previously mentioned Bartollotta et al US Patent No. 3,933,672.
- An other optional ingredient useful in the present invention is one or more enzymes.

- Levels of smectite clay are normally in the range from 5 % to 15 % , more preferably from 8% to 12% by weight, with the material being added as a dry mixed component to the remainder of the formulation.
- Organic fabric softening agents such as the water-insoluble tertiary amines or dilong chain amide materials are incorporated at levels of from 0.5% to 5% by weight, normally from 1 % to 3 % by weight, whilst the high molecular weight polyethylene oxide materials and the water soluble cationic materials are added at levels of from 0.1 % to 2% , normally from 0.15% to 1.5 % by weight.
- these materials can be added to the aqueous slurry fed to the spray drying tower, although in some instances it may be more convenient to add them as a dry mixed particulate, or spray them as a molten liquid on to other solid components of the composition.
- a feature of the composition of the present invention is that they are of relatively high density in comparison with conventional laundry detergent compositions.
- Such high density compositions have become known as concentrated products and are characterised by a bulk density of at least 650 g/litre, more usually at least 700 g/litre and more preferably in excess of 800 g/litre.
- Bulk density is measured by means of a simple funnel and cup device consisting of a conical funnel moulded rigidly on a base and provided with a flap valve at its lower extremity to allow the contents of the funnel to be emptied into an axially aligned cylindrical cup disposed below the funnel.
- the funnel is 130 mm high and has internal diameters of 130 mm and 40 mm at its respective upper and lower extremities. It is mounted so that the lower extremity is 140 mm above the upper surface of the base.
- the cup has an overall height of 90 mm, an internal height of 87 mm and an internal diameter of 84 mm. Its nominal volume is 500 ml.
- the funnel is filled with powder by hand pouring, the flap valve is opened and powder allowed to overfill the cup.
- the filled cup is removed from the frame and excess powder removed from the cup by passing a straight edged implement eg; a knife, across its upper edge.
- the filled cup is then weighed and the value obtained for the weight of powder doubled to provide a bulk density in g/litre. Replicate measurements are made as required.
- compositions of the present invention incorporate at least one multi-ingredient component ie they do not comprise compositions formed merely by dry-mixing individual ingredients.
- Compositions in which each individual ingredient is dry- mixed are generally dusty, slow to dissolve and also tend to cake and develop poor particle flow characteristics in storage.
- compositions of the invention can be made via a variety of methods including dry mixing, spray drying, agglomeration and granulation and preferred methods involve combinations of these techniques.
- a preferred method of making the composition involves a combination of spray drying, agglomeration in a high speed mixer and dry mixing.
- Preferred detergent compositions in accordance with the invention comprise at least two particulate multi-ingredient components.
- the first component comprises at least 15% , conventionally from 25% to 50% , but more preferably no more than 35 % by weight of the composition and the second component from 1 % to 50% , more preferably 10% to 40% by weight of the composition.
- one multi-ingredient component comprises an agglomerate of non-spray-dried ingredients together with a second multi-ingredient component comprising a spray- dried powder.
- the first component comprises a particulate incorporating an anionic surfactant in an amount of from 0.75% to 40% by weight of the powder and one or more inorganic and/or organic salts in an amount of from 99.25% to 60% by weight of the powder.
- the particulate can have any suitable form such as granules, flakes, prills, marumes or noodles but is preferably granular.
- the granules themselves may be agglomerates formed by pan or drum agglomeration or by in-line mixers but are customarily spray dried particles produced by atomising an aqueous slurry of the ingredients in a hot air spream which removes most of the water.
- the spray dried granules are then subjected to densification steps, eg by high speed cutter mixers and. /or compacting mills, to increase density before being reagglomerated.
- densification steps eg by high speed cutter mixers and. /or compacting mills, to increase density before being reagglomerated.
- the first component is described hereinafter as a spray dried powder.
- Suitable anionic surfactants for the purposes of the first component have been found to be slowly dissolving linear alkyl sulfate salts in which the alkyl group has an average of from 16 to 22 carbon atoms, and linear alkyl carboxylate salts in which the alkyl group has an average of from 16 to 24 carbon atoms.
- the alkyl groups for both types of surfactant are preferably derived from natural fats such as tallow. Shorter chain alkyl sulfates or carboxylates, in which the alkyl group is derived from sources comprising a mixture of alkyl moieties more than 40% of which contain 14 or less carbon atoms, are less suitable as they cause the first component to form a gel like mass during dissolution.
- the level of anionic surfactant in the spray dried powder forming the first component is from 0.75% to 40% by weight, more usually 2.5% to 25% , preferably from 3 % to 20% and most preferably from 5% to 15% by weight.
- Water-soluble surfactants such as linear alkyl benzene sulphonates or C14-C15 alkyl sulphates can be included or alternatively may be applied subsequently to the spray dried powder by spray on.
- the other major ingredient of the spray dried powder is one or more inorganic or organic salts that provide the crystalline structure for the granules.
- the inorganic and/or organic salts may be water-soluble or water-insoluble, the latter type being comprised by the, or the major part of the, water-insoluble builders where these form part of the builder ingredient.
- Suitable water soluble inorganic salts include the alkali metal carbonates and bicarbonates.
- Alkali metal silicates other than crystalline layered silicates can also be present in the spray dried granule provided that aluminosilicate does not form part of the spray dried component.
- an aluminosilicate zeolite forms the, or part of the, builder ingredient, it is preferred that it is not added directly by dry mixing to the other components, but is incorporated into the multi-ingredient component(s).
- any silicate present should not form part of the spray-dried granule.
- incorporation of the silicate can be achieved in several ways, eg by producing a separate silicate- containing spray-dried particulate, by incorporating the silicate into an agglomerate of other ingredients, or more preferably by adding the silicate as a dry mixed solid ingredient.
- the first component can also include up to 15 % by weight of miscellaneous ingredients such as brighteners, anti-re-deposition agents, photoactivated bleaches and heavy metal sequestering agents.

- the first component is a spray dried powder it will normally be dried to a moisture content of from 7% to 11 % by weight, more preferably from 8 % to 10% by weight of the spray dried powder.
- Moisture contents of powders produced by other processes such as agglomeration may be lower and can be in the range 1-10% by weight.
- the particle size of the first component is conventional and preferably not more than 5 % by weight should be above 1.4 mm, while not more than 10% by weight should be less than 0.15 mm in maximum dimension.
- the bulk density of the particles from the spray drying tower is conventionally in the range from 540 to 600 g/litre and this is then enhanced by further processing steps such as size reduction in a high speed cutter/mixer followed by compaction.
- processes other than spray drying may be used to form a high density particulate directly.
- a second component of a preferred composition in accordance with the invention is another multi-ingredient particulate containing a water soluble surfactant.
- This water-soluble surfactant may be anionic, nonionic, cationic or semipolar in type or a mixture of any of these. Suitable surfactants are listed hereinbefore but preferred surfactants are 4-C15 alkyl sulphates linear C11-C 15 alkyl benzene sulphonates and fatty C14-C18 methyl ester sulphonates.
- the second component may have any suitable physical form ie; it may take the form of flakes, prills, marumes, noodles, ribbons or granules which may be spray-dried or non spray-dried agglomerates. Although the second component could in theory comprise the water soluble surfactant on its own, in practice at least one organic or inorganic salt is included to facilitate processing.
- the particle size range of the second component is not critical but should be such as to obviate segregation from the particles of the first component when blended therewith. Thus not more than 5% by weight should be above 1.4 mm while not more than 10% should be less than 0.15 mm in maximum dimension.
- the bulk density of the second component will be a function of its mode of preparation.
- the preferred form of the second component is a mechanically mixed agglomerate which may be made by adding the ingredients dry or with an agglomerating agent to a pan agglomerator, Z blade mixer or more preferably an in-line mixer such as those manufactured by Schugi (Holland) BV 29 Chroomstraat 8211 AS, Lelystad, Netherlands and Gebruder Lodige Maschinenban GmbH, D- 4790 Paderborn 1 , Elsenerstrasse 7-9, Postfach 2050 FRG.

- compositions include a level of alkali metal carbonate in the second component corresponding to an amount of from 3 % to 15% by weight of the composition, more preferably from 5% to 12% by weight. This will preferably provide a level of carbonate in the second component of from 20% to 40% by weight.
- a highly preferred ingredient of the second component is also a hydrated water insoluble aluminosilicate ion exchange material of the synthetic zeolite type, described hereinbefore, present at from 10% to 35% by weight of the second component.
- the amount of water insoluble aluminosilicate material incorporated in this way is from 1 % to 10% by weight of the composition, more preferably from 2% to 8% by weight.
- the surfactant salt is formed in situ in an inline mixer.
- the liquid acid form of the surfactant is added to a mixture of particulate anhydrous sodium carbonate and hydrated sodium aluminosilicate in a continuous high speed blender such as a lodige C6 mixer and neutralised to form the surfactant salt whilst maintaining the particulate nature of the mixture.
- the resultant agglomerated mixture forms the second component which is then added to other components of the product.
- the surfactant salt is pre-neutralised and added as a viscous paste to the mixture of the other ingredients.
- the mixer serves merely to agglomerate the ingredients to form the second component.
- part of the spray dried product comprising the first granular component is diverted and subjected to a low level of nonionic surfactant spray-on before being reblended with the remainder.
- the second granular component is made using the preferred process described above.
- the first and second components together with other dry mix ingredients such as any carboxylate chelating agent, the sodium percarbonate bleach, bleach activator, soil-release polymer, silicate of conventional or crystalline layered type and enzyme are then fed to a conveyor belt, from which they are transferred to a horizontally rotating drum in which perfume and silicone suds suppressor are sprayed on to the product.
- a further drum mixing step is employed in which a low (approx.

- the device may possess a number of openings through which the product may pass.
- the device may be made of a material which is permeable to liquid but impermeable to the solid product, which will allow release of dissolved product.
- the detergent product will be rapidly released at the start of the wash cycle thereby providing transient localised high concentrations of product in the drum of the automatic washing machine at this stage of the wash cycle.
- Preferred dispensing devices are reusable and are designed in such a way that container integrity is maintained in both the dry state and during the wash cycle.
- Especially preferred dispensing devices for use in accord with the invention have been described in the following patents; GB-B-2, 157, 717, GB-B-2, 157, 718, EP-A-0201376, EP-A-0288345 and EP-A- 0288346.
- An article by J. Bland published in Manufacturing Chemist, November 1989, pages 41-46 also describes especially preferred dispensing devices for use with granular laundry products which are of a type commonly know as the "granulette" .
- Another preferred means of carrying out the process of the invention is to introduce the composition into the liquid surrounding the fabrics that are in the drum via a reusable dispensing device having walls that are permeable to liquid but impermeable to the solid composition.
