Low odor, hard surface cleaner with enhanced soil removal

The present invention provides stable bleach activator granules comprising:

Oxidant composition containing stable bleach activator granules

In one embodiment, the invention provides a stable peracid bleach composition comprising discrete granules which comprise peracid, namely, diperoxydodecanedioic acid. In another preferred embodiment, enzymes are present in the composition separate from the discrete peracid granules. In both the enzyme-containing and non-enzyme containing compositions, peracid and exotherm control agents are combined in a discrete granule in which the amount of water is carefully controlled to result in, respectively, maximum peracid and enzyme stability. Standard bleaching composition adjuncts such as fillers, brighteners, pH control agents and the like may be included in the compositions apart from the discrete peracid granules.

Stable peracid bleaching compositions: organic peracid, magnesium

A dry bleach product is based upon diperacid, particularly diperoxydodecanedioic acid. The dry product comprises separate granular, particulate and beaded components wherein the granular component is diperacid stabilized with an exotherm control agent, diluent and a binder that includes unneutralized polymeric acid. The beaded component is fragrance admixed with a water soluble starch; the particulate components include an agglomerated extender or bulking agent, a pH control agent, and protected fluorescent whitening agents, all as separate particulate components. The water content of the granular diperacid is carefully controlled, as is the ratio of exotherm control agent to diperacid.
