Abstract:
A liquid, alkaline detergent composition, comprising, by weight of said composition:a) from about 0.01% to about 10% of particles comprising diacyl peroxide, b) from about 20% to about 90% solvent having a solubility parameter value outside about Â±4 of said diacyl peroxide's solubility parameter, and c) from about 0.01% to about 10% chelant, said chelant selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, ethylenediamine disuccinic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, tartrate monosuccinic acid, tartrate disuccinic acid, oxydisuccinic acid, carboxytethyloxysuccinic acid, mellatic acid, sodium benzene polycarboxylate salts, nitrilotris(methylene phosphonic acid), diethylenetrinitrilopentakis(methylenephosphonic acid), 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, ethylene-N,Nâ€²-bis(o-hydroxy-phenylgycine), dipliolinic acid, diethylene triamine penta (methylene phosphonate), hexamethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonoate), ethylenediaminotetracetic acid, ethylenetriamine pentacetic acid, ethylenediamine-N,Nâ€²-disuccinic, iminodiacetic acid derivatives, acid, ethylene diphosphonic acid, organo phosphonic acid, and mixtures thereof, wherein the particles of diacyl peroxide are free from coatings capable of inhibiting dissolution and said composition has a neat pH from about 7 to about 13.
