The present invention relates to a detergent composition comprising alkali metal carbonate, a chelant selected from the group consisting of MGDA, alkali metal tripolyphosphate, GLDA, and mixtures thereof, alkali metal percarbonate, and a peroxidation catalyst, wherein the molar ratio of chelant to alkali metal percarbonate is in the range of 1.8 to 3.4. The detergent composition is particularly suited for the removal of tea and coffee stains.

Stain removal through novel oxidizer and chelant combination

Detergent compositions and methods of preparing and using the detergent compositions are disclosed. The detergent compositions comprise a polymer system comprising at least one polycarboxylic acid polymer, copolymer, or terpolymer, an alkalinity source comprising an alkali metal carbonate, a nonionic surfactant and water. The detergent compositions are suitable at alkaline pH and reduce or prevent scale formation, improve soil dispersion, and provide effective detergency.

High alkaline warewash detergent with enhanced scale control and soil dispersion

High active, high caustic liquid laundry detergent compositions which provide excellent stability are disclosed, including methods of making and using the same. The compositions generally comprise a source of alkalinity, a rheology modifier, one or more sequestering agents, one or more low mole ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, and an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant. The liquid detergent emulsions, provided as a concentrate, water-in-oil use solution emulsion, or oil-in-water use solution emulsion beneficially demonstrate improved stability even under high pH and high temperature conditions.

Stability and viscosity in high active high caustic laundry emulsion with low HLB surfactant

Stable solid compositions employing a water conditioning agent, including hygroscopic species or non-hygroscopic species. In particular, solid compositions combining an ionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant with a water conditioning agent, preferably a polyacrylate water conditioning agent, are disclosed. The ionic surfactant or amphoteric surfactant beneficially stabilize the polymer and/or chelant water conditioning agent, preferably a polyacrylate water conditioning agent, to permit formulation into a solid composition and provide stability under harsh conditions, including humid environments. Applications of using the stable solid compositions are also disclosed.

Surfactant stabilization of hygroscopic species

The invention includes ware detergent compositions which provides superior cleaning and removal of oily and fatty soils, without the production of excessive foam. According to the invention applicants have discovered that use of a quaternary cationic surfactant in combination with a nonionic low foaming surfactant can provide oily soil removal from ware that is superior to traditional warewash detergent formulations. Compositions for alkaline, preferably solid, warewash detergents are disclosed, as well as their use in dish machines and methods of manufacture.

Low-foaming warewash detergent containing mixed cationic / nonionic surfactant system for enhanced oily soil removal

Liquid detergent compositions with polymer blends to provide a stable aqueous use solution of a highly alkaline detergent composition are provided. The liquid detergent composition include concentrates and use solutions with blends of alkali-swellable polymers (ASE) and hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable polymers (HASE). Methods for washing textiles using the liquid detergent compositions are also provided.

Polymer blend to stabilize highly alkaline laundry detergent

Liquid peroxycarboxylic acid laundry compositions, namely bleaching and disinfecting compositions combining mixed peroxycarboxylic acids to provide synergistic efficacy are disclosed. Methods of using the liquid peroxycarboxylic acid laundry compositions for low temperatures and a use pH with detergent and water from about 6 to about 10 are also disclosed. Beneficially, the liquid peroxycarboxylic acid laundry compositions and methods of using the same do not include sulfonated peroxycarboxylic acids and sulfonated carboxylic acid, such as peroxy sulfonated oleic acid/sulfonated oleic acid (PSOA/SOA).

Textile bleaching and disinfecting using the mixture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic peroxycarboxylic acid composition

Stabilized compositions employing a sequestrant system and a binding system for improving shelf stability and dispensing stability of a solid activated bleach composition are disclosed. The compositions contain a peroxygen source and a catalyst activator which require generation of a peroxycarboxylic acid or other active oxygen sanitizing agent at a point of use. Stabilized compositions employ a sequestrant system including a phosphonic acid and/or dipicolinic acid sequestrant and a binding system comprising an anionic surfactant for a solid formulation of a catalyst activator and peroxygen source to provide shelf stability and dispensing stability for a activated bleach composition. Methods of formulating and use are further disclosed.
