Description
WI) 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING
MULTIPERACID-FORMING BLEACH ACTIVATORS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is in the field of detergent compositions, especially those useful in domestic fabric laundering as well as in hard surface cleaning. Typical of such products are heavy-duty laundry detergents and bathroom cleaners having .
solid or liquid form. More particularly, the detergent compositions and wash baths herein comprise particular bleach activators which form multiperacids upon perhydrolysis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Despite ongoing innovation in this field, the provision of detergents with bleach remains a technically difficult endeavour. Bleaches are desirable for their stain-removing, dingy cleanup, whitening and sanitization properties; yet there are some frequently encountered disadvantages of effective bleaches.
These include color damage on fabrics and damage to laundry appliances, especially the rubber hoses these appliances may contain. "The most common bleaches are oxidants and are often difficult to coformulate with the current, improved but still oxidation-prone enzymes and other detergent ingredients. Moreover the legislated removal of phosphate builders from detergents in some geographies makes it neccessary to develop bleaches which operate effectively in the presence of nonphosphate builders which can be bleach-sensitive or may leave relatively high levels of calcium and magnesium in the water as compared to fully phosphated builder systems.
Modern bleaches for detergents include those comprising a hydrogen peroxide source, such as sodium perborate, and a bleach activator.
The term "bleach activator" as used in the art refers to a compound which reacts with hydrogen peroxide or its anion to form a more effective oxidant. Known bleach activators include perhydrolyzable aryl compounds having a leaving group such as oxybenzenesulfonate. Detergents in the market today moreover include those in which the relatively mild and enzyme-compatible hydrogen peroxide source is combined with detersive enzymes; optionally with tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) or nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (HOBS) as bleach activators.
It would be desirable to further improve these detergents, for example, by adding additional bleach activator types which extend the variety of stains removed. Achieving such improvement however brings with it a high risk of potential adverse effects, such as those noted supra. Numerous bleach activators may have other deficiencies, such as WO 96!23862 PCTIUS96101335 low enzyme' compatibility, limited storage stability, low mass efficiency, surfactant incompatibility, tendencies to produce malodorous peracids, synthesis difEculty, lack of biodegradability, and high cost. These factors perhaps account for the observation that although strenuous efforts have been made to improve the efficacy of bleach activators and hundreds of such activators have been described in the literature, only , TAED and NOBS have been widely successful.
The disclosure of many bleach activators in the context of laundry formulations includes the suggestion that quaternary substituted versions of such activators may indeed be of a depositing nature and, in consequence, have desirable fabric conditioning properties. See, for example, U.S. 4,751,015 at col. 3, lines 22-27. This patent as well as EP 427,224 and EP 408,131 are also illustrative of disclosures of bleach activators which may include chemical groups which may be cationic and/or which may form peroxycarbonic acids when perhydrolyzed.
Among the many efforts which have been made to improve bleach activators for laundry purposes, it has also been disclosed that diperacids can have beneficial effects. See, for example, Kirk Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th.
Ed., 1992, John Wiley & Soils, Vol. 4, ppg. 271-300, "Bleaching Agents (Survey)"
which includes reference to diperoxydodecanedioic acid (DPDA) and its homologs.
Such compounds have the formula HOOC(O)(CH2)~C(O)OOH wherein n is typically 10 but can in general range more widely. Although the peroxy moieties of the diperacid are ionizable and hydrophilic, such diperacids contain in addition only a non-hydrophilic aliphatic "spacer", -(CHZ)", separating the two peracid moieties. In short, they do not contain peroxide-free hydrophiles of the types and substitution positions described hereinafter. By way of additional diperacid disclosures, EP
68,547 describes aromatic diperoxyacids. U.S. 5,071,584, U.S. 5,041,546 and EP
316,809 describe heterocyclic polypercarboxylic acids and/or salts of amino-polypercarboxylic acids. As in the case of DPDA, such compounds lack a strongly hydrophilic moiety situated in-between the peracid moieties.
These improvements notwithstanding, there is no widely commercialized laundry detergent comprising a cationic or diperacid-forming bleach activator.
It is accordingly an object herein to provide improved detergent compositions and hard surface cleaners comprising particularly selected bleach activators, formulated to deliver superior cleaning and stain removal while reducing color fading and other deficiencies of art-disclosed detergent compositions which rely on cationic bleach activators.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now unexpectedly been discovered that detergent compositions are significantly improved compared with otherwise similar formulations comprising cationic bleach activators, when the bleach activator selected is one which forms specific types of multiperacid upon perhydrolysis. In particular, the detergent ~
compositions encompassed herein are those comprising an effective amount of a bleach activator wherein said bleach activator undergoes perhydrolysis to form a multiperacid wherein at least one peroxy moiety of said peracid is a peroxycarbonic acid moiety; and wherein said peracid comprises at least one peroxide-free hydrophile as illustrated in detail hereinafter; provided that said multiperacid comprises no more than one amido or quaternary nitrogen moiety. In general, the multiperacid comprises 2 or more, preferably from 2 to about 8, more preferably from 2 to about 4 peroxy moieites selected from the group consisting of peroxycarbonic acid moieties, - peroxycarboxylic acid moieties; peroxyimidic acid moieites and mixtures thereof, always provided that the need for at least one peroxycarbonic moiety is respected.
~ The bleach activators of this invention preferably do not comprise long-chain moieties, for example C16 or higher; in the preferred embodiments, the selected bleach activators have low tendency to comicellize with surfactants: when surface-WO 96123862 PCTiUS96101335 active, they preferably are highly water-soluble and have critical micelle concentrations of 10 -1 molar or higher.
Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the hereinbefore , referenced U.S. 4,751,015 and other references teaching the desirability of deposition of the bleach activator on fabrics are mistaken. In fact, such deposition may lead to increased color fading. According to the present invention, it is instead desirable to minimize the deposition of the selected bleach activator. This is but one of the accomplishments of the present bleach activator selection. Bleach activators selected herein for example have reduced color fading compared with otherwise very similar t o bleach activators which contain but a single peroxyacid forming moiety and/or have two or more cationic moieties. .
The term "perhydrolysis" as used supra is well known in the art and relates to the reaction of a bleach activator with hydrogen peroxide to form a peracid. For example a common bleach activator structure in the art is one having the form RC(O)L wherein RC(O) is an aryl moiety and L is a leaving-group.
The activator reacts with hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide source such as sodium percarbonate or perborate, typically in alkaline aqueous solution, to form a peracid, typically a percarboxylic acid RC(O)OOH or its anion, with loss of a leaving-group, L, or its conjugate acid LH.
The terms "peracid" and "peroxyacid" are sometimes used interchangeably in the art and are equivalent terms herein.
The selected bleach activators herein may in one mode be conveniently described by reference to the peracids they form when perhydrolyzed.
It is convenient to do this, inter-alia because it permits unambigous identification of the location of particular hydrophilic substituents. In accordance with the invention certain such substituents must be located inside the multiperacid-forming portion of the bleach activator rather than inside a leaving-group. In general, the leaving groups of the selected bleach activators herein may vary widely. The term "leaving group"
is defined in standard texts, such as "Advanced Organic Chemistry", J. March, 4th Ed., Wiley, 1992, p 205. The term "multiperacid" as used herein refers to a peroxy anic compound or peracid having two or more acidic -OOH moieties.
It should or g be understood that such moieties encompass both the protonated and deprotonated, i.e., peroxyanion -00- forms,: these forms are, of course, interconvertible depending on their pKa and the conditions of pH and concentration. ' In all preferred detergent compositions herein, the bleach activator is one which is capable of forming a multiperacid comprising at least one peroxide-free hydrophile, preferably situated between two peroxy moieties.
This hydrophile is in wo 96t23g62 PCTIUS96101335 addition to the inherently hydrophilic peracid moieties present. In general, the term "peroxide-free hydrophile" (PFI~ is used to distinguish non-bleaching hydrophiles useful in the instant bleach activators from the inherently hydrophilic peroxyacid moieties.

In general, the multiperacid comprises 2 or more, preferably from 2 to about 8, more preferably from 2 to about 4 peroxy moieites selected from the group consisting of peroxycarbonic acid moieties, - peroxycarboxylic acid moieties; peroxyimidic acid moieites and mixtures thereof, always provided that the need for at least one peroxycarbonic moiety is respected.
~ The bleach activators of this invention preferably do not comprise long-chain moieties, for example C16 or higher; in the preferred embodiments, the selected bleach activators have low tendency to comicellize with surfactants: when surface-WO 96123862 PCTiUS96101335 active, they preferably are highly water-soluble and have critical micelle concentrations of 10 -1 molar or higher.
Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the hereinbefore , referenced U.S. 4,751,015 and other references teaching the desirability of deposition of the bleach activator on fabrics are mistaken. In fact, such deposition may lead to increased color fading. According to the present invention, it is instead desirable to minimize the deposition of the selected bleach activator.

The terms "peracid" and "peroxyacid" are sometimes used interchangeably in the art and are equivalent terms herein.
The selected bleach activators herein may in one mode be conveniently described by reference to the peracids they form when perhydrolyzed.
It is convenient to do this, inter-alia because it permits unambigous identification of the location of particular hydrophilic substituents. In accordance with the invention certain such substituents must be located inside the multiperacid-forming portion of the bleach activator rather than inside a leaving-group. In general, the leaving groups of the selected bleach activators herein may vary widely. The term "leaving group"
is defined in standard texts, such as "Advanced Organic Chemistry", J. March, 4th Ed., Wiley, 1992, p 205. The term "multiperacid" as used herein refers to a peroxy anic compound or peracid having two or more acidic -OOH moieties.
It should or g be understood that such moieties encompass both the protonated and deprotonated, i.e., peroxyanion -00- forms,: these forms are, of course, interconvertible depending on their pKa and the conditions of pH and concentration. ' In all preferred detergent compositions herein, the bleach activator is one which is capable of forming a multiperacid comprising at least one peroxide-free hydrophile, preferably situated between two peroxy moieties.
This hydrophile is in wo 96t23g62 PCTIUS96101335 addition to the inherently hydrophilic peracid moieties present. In general, the term "peroxide-free hydrophile" (PFI~ is used to distinguish non-bleaching hydrophiles useful in the instant bleach activators from the inherently hydrophilic peroxyacid moieties. PFH's are nonlimitingly illustrated by any member selected from the group NO
5 consisting of ~ , sulfate, sulfonate, amino, polyoxyalkylene, amine oxide, ~O+
-N-carboxylate, hydroxyl, phosphonium and phosphate. Preferred are ~O+
-N-polyoxyalkylene, and sulfonate; more preferable is ~ or polyoxyallcylene (especially polyoxyethylene). Moieties which may be present in the multiperacids, but which do not consititute peroxide-free hydrophiles include those selected from the group consisting of sulfones, sulfoxides, non-polyoxyalkylene-type (e.g.
dialkyl ethers) and amides.
Np+
Importantly, in preferred embodiments of this invention when a moiety is present, there is only one such moiety. In the foregoing, the bolded valency refers to a valency through which the moiety is covalently connected to the bleach activator and the non-bolded valencies may in general be connected to any suitable group, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl. All PFH's herein are generally covalently connected to the bleach activator.
It may accordingly be seen that whereas multiperacid-forming bleach activators of the art without PFH's can be useful herein as optional materials, the preferred detergents of the invention are those wherein a PFH is present in specific position, notably, one outside the leaving-groups. Moreover, the PFH will preferably be positioned in-between any two peracid-forming moieties in the bleach activator, either °'in-line" or as part of a side-chain. Additional PFFi-type moieties may, optionally, be present, either in the same portion of the bleach activator, or forming part of leaving-groups of the bleach activator, but the presence of at least one PFH
and, when said PFH is quaternary nitrogen, no more than one PFH, within the peracid-forming portion of the bleach activator is essential.
In still more preferable embodiments, there is encompassed a detergent or hard-surface cleaning composition wherein said multiperacid comprises 2 of said peroxy moieties and further wherein each of said peroxy moieties is a peroxycarbonic acid moiety.
-N-carboxylate, hydroxyl, phosphonium and phosphate. Preferred are ~O+

In the foregoing structures, the PFH is ~ . Short-chain methyl moieties which do not reduce the water solubility of the bleach activator, are attached thereto.
These bleach activators comprise phenoxy leaving-groups, though in general, alternate leaving-groups may be substituted therefor. These bleach activators form bis(peroxycarbonic) acids as the multiperacid when they are fully perhydrolyzed.
The detergent compositions of this invention preferably have an aqueous pH
in the range from about 7 to about 12. The detergent compositions of this invention are preferably substantially free from ~~phosphate builders and chlorine bleach and typically comprise a hydrogen peroxide source, preferably selected from the group consisting of perborate salts, percarbonate salts and mixtures thereof. Other optional adjunct ingredients are disclosed hereinafter.
The instant invention also encompasses detergent wash baths comprising an effective amount of a multiperacid wherein at least one peroxy moiety of said multiperacid is a peroxycarbonic acid moiety; and wherein said multiperacid comprises at least one peroxide-free hydrophile; provided that said multiperacid comprises no more than one amido or quaternary nitrogen moiety. The detergent wash bath will typically comprise from about 0.2 ppm to about 400 ppm of said multiperacid. Preferred multiperacids comprise from 2 to about 4 peracid moieties selected from the group consisting of peroxycarbonic acid, peroxycarboxylic acid, peroxyimidic acid, and mixtures thereof. Highly preferred multiperacids comprise 2 peroxycarbonic acid moieties.

~ 5 Hydrogen Peroxide Source - Hydrogen peroxide sources are described in detail in the hereinabove incorporated Kirk Othmer review on Bleaching and include the various forms of sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate, including various coated and modified forms. An "effective amount" of a source of hydrogen peroxide is any amount capable of measurably improving stain removal (especially of tea or coffee stains) from soiled articles compared to a hydrogen peroxide source-free composition when the soiled articles are washed by the consumer in a domestic washing-machine in the presence of alkali.
More generally a source of hydrogen peroxide herein is any convenient compound or mixture which under consumer use conditions provides an effective amount of hydrogen peroxide. Levels may vary widely and are usually in the range from about 0.1% to about 70%, more typically from about 0.5% to about 30%, by weight of the compositions herein.
' The preferred source of hydrogen peroxide used herein can be any convenient source, including hydrogen peroxide itself, the latter especially in the hard-surface ' 30 cleaning embodiments. For example, perborate, e.g., sodium perborate (any hydrate but preferably the mono- or tetra-hydrate), sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate or equivalent percarbonate salts, sodium pyrophosphate peroxyhydrate, urea peroxyhydrate, or sodium peroxide can be used herein. Sodium perborate WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 monohydrate and sodium percarbonate are particularly preferred. Mixtures of any convenient hydrogen peroxide sources can also be used.
A preferred percarbonate bleach for laundry granules comprises dry particles .
having an average particle size in the range from about 500 micrometers to about 1,000 micrometers, not more than about 10% by weight of said particles being .
smaller than about 200 micrometers and not more than about 10% by weight of said particles being larger than about 1,250 micrometers. Optionally, the percarbonate can be coated with a silicate, borate or water-soluble surfactants.
Percarbonate is available from various commercial sources such as FMC, Solvay and Tokai Denka.
While effective bleaching compositions herein may comprise only the identified bleach activators and a source of hydrogen peroxide, fully-formulated detergent compositions typically will also comprise other adjunct ingredients to improve or modify performance.
Detersive Surfactants - Surfactants are useful herein for their usual cleaning power and may be included in preferred embodiments of the instant detergent compositions at the usual detergent-useful levels. Depending on the precise application, such compositions are better than the surfactant-free counterparts for overall cleaning and bleaching performance and may be synergistic. In general, bleach-stable detersive surfactants are preferred: for example, for long-term storage stability, particularly of liquid-form detergent compositions comprising bleach, it is preferable to use detersive surfactants in which the total content of bleach-reactive unsaturated surface-active material or other impurity components is minimized.
Nonlimiting examples of surfactants useful herein include the conventional C 11-C 1 g alkylbenzene sulfonates ("LAS") and primary, branched-chain and random C 10-C2p alkyl sulfates ("AS"); the C 10-C 1 g secondary alkyl sulfates of the formula CH3(CH2~(CHOS03 M+)CH3 and CH3(CH2h,(CHOS03 M+)CH2CH3 where x and (y + 1) are integers of at least about 7, preferably at least about 9, and M is a water-solubilizing cation, especially sodium; unsaturated sulfates such as oleyl sulfate; the C 10-C 1 g alkyl alkoxy sulfates ("AF.xS") especially those wherein x is from 1 to about 7; C 10-C 1 g alkyl alkoxy carboxylates (especially the EO 1-5 ethoxycarboxylates); the C 10-C 1 g glycerol ethers; the C 10-C 1 g alkyl polyglycosides and their corresponding sulfated polyglycosides; and C 12-C 1 g alpha-sulfonated fatty -acid esters. Detersive surfactants may be mixed in varying proportions for improved surfactancy as is well-known in the art. If desired, the conventional nonionic and -amphoteric surfactants such as the C 12-C 1 g alkyl ethoxylates ("AE") including the so-called narrow peaked alkyl ethoxylates and C6-C 12 alkyl phenol alkoxylates (especially ethoxylates and mixed ethoxylate/propoxylates), C 12-C 1 g betaines and WO 96123862 PCTlU596101335 sulfobetaines ("sultaines"), C 10-C 1 g amine oxides, and the like, can also be included in the cleaning compositions, The C 10-C 1 g N-alkyl polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can also be used. Typical examples include the C 12-C 1 g N-methylglucamides.
See WO 9,206,154. Other sugar-derived surfactants include the N-alkoxy polyhydroxy 5 fatty acid amides, such as C 10-C 1 g N-(3-methoxypropyl) glucamide. The N-propyl through N-hexyl C 12-C 1 g glucamides can be used. C 10-C20 conventional soaps may also be employed. The branched-chain C 10-C 16 soaps are also useful.
Mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants are especially useful.
Additionally desirable detersive surfactants for use herein are cationic 10 surfactants such as the alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides and bromides, more particularly the C 12-C 14 alkyltrimethylammonium derivatives. Any other convenient cationic surfactant may be used.
Additionally desirable are cationic plus nonionic surfactant systems. Other conventional useful surfactants are listed in standard texts.

~ 5 Hydrogen Peroxide Source - Hydrogen peroxide sources are described in detail in the hereinabove incorporated Kirk Othmer review on Bleaching and include the various forms of sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate, including various coated and modified forms. An "effective amount" of a source of hydrogen peroxide is any amount capable of measurably improving stain removal (especially of tea or coffee stains) from soiled articles compared to a hydrogen peroxide source-free composition when the soiled articles are washed by the consumer in a domestic washing-machine in the presence of alkali.
More generally a source of hydrogen peroxide herein is any convenient compound or mixture which under consumer use conditions provides an effective amount of hydrogen peroxide. Levels may vary widely and are usually in the range from about 0.1% to about 70%, more typically from about 0.5% to about 30%, by weight of the compositions herein.
' The preferred source of hydrogen peroxide used herein can be any convenient source, including hydrogen peroxide itself, the latter especially in the hard-surface ' 30 cleaning embodiments. For example, perborate, e.g., sodium perborate (any hydrate but preferably the mono- or tetra-hydrate), sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate or equivalent percarbonate salts, sodium pyrophosphate peroxyhydrate, urea peroxyhydrate, or sodium peroxide can be used herein. Sodium perborate WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 monohydrate and sodium percarbonate are particularly preferred. Mixtures of any convenient hydrogen peroxide sources can also be used.
A preferred percarbonate bleach for laundry granules comprises dry particles .
having an average particle size in the range from about 500 micrometers to about 1,000 micrometers, not more than about 10% by weight of said particles being .
smaller than about 200 micrometers and not more than about 10% by weight of said particles being larger than about 1,250 micrometers. Optionally, the percarbonate can be coated with a silicate, borate or water-soluble surfactants.
Percarbonate is available from various commercial sources such as FMC, Solvay and Tokai Denka.
While effective bleaching compositions herein may comprise only the identified bleach activators and a source of hydrogen peroxide, fully-formulated detergent compositions typically will also comprise other adjunct ingredients to improve or modify performance.
Detersive Surfactants - Surfactants are useful herein for their usual cleaning power and may be included in preferred embodiments of the instant detergent compositions at the usual detergent-useful levels. Depending on the precise application, such compositions are better than the surfactant-free counterparts for overall cleaning and bleaching performance and may be synergistic. In general, bleach-stable detersive surfactants are preferred: for example, for long-term storage stability, particularly of liquid-form detergent compositions comprising bleach, it is preferable to use detersive surfactants in which the total content of bleach-reactive unsaturated surface-active material or other impurity components is minimized.
Nonlimiting examples of surfactants useful herein include the conventional C 11-C 1 g alkylbenzene sulfonates ("LAS") and primary, branched-chain and random C 10-C2p alkyl sulfates ("AS"); the C 10-C 1 g secondary alkyl sulfates of the formula CH3(CH2~(CHOS03 M+)CH3 and CH3(CH2h,(CHOS03 M+)CH2CH3 where x and (y + 1) are integers of at least about 7, preferably at least about 9, and M is a water-solubilizing cation, especially sodium; unsaturated sulfates such as oleyl sulfate; the C 10-C 1 g alkyl alkoxy sulfates ("AF.xS") especially those wherein x is from 1 to about 7; C 10-C 1 g alkyl alkoxy carboxylates (especially the EO 1-5 ethoxycarboxylates); the C 10-C 1 g glycerol ethers; the C 10-C 1 g alkyl polyglycosides and their corresponding sulfated polyglycosides; and C 12-C 1 g alpha-sulfonated fatty -acid esters. Detersive surfactants may be mixed in varying proportions for improved surfactancy as is well-known in the art. If desired, the conventional nonionic and -amphoteric surfactants such as the C 12-C 1 g alkyl ethoxylates ("AE") including the so-called narrow peaked alkyl ethoxylates and C6-C 12 alkyl phenol alkoxylates (especially ethoxylates and mixed ethoxylate/propoxylates), C 12-C 1 g betaines and WO 96123862 PCTlU596101335 sulfobetaines ("sultaines"), C 10-C 1 g amine oxides, and the like, can also be included in the cleaning compositions, The C 10-C 1 g N-alkyl polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can also be used. Typical examples include the C 12-C 1 g N-methylglucamides.
See WO 9,206,154. Other sugar-derived surfactants include the N-alkoxy polyhydroxy 5 fatty acid amides, such as C 10-C 1 g N-(3-methoxypropyl) glucamide. The N-propyl through N-hexyl C 12-C 1 g glucamides can be used. C 10-C20 conventional soaps may also be employed. The branched-chain C 10-C 16 soaps are also useful.
Mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants are especially useful.
Additionally desirable detersive surfactants for use herein are cationic 10 surfactants such as the alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides and bromides, more particularly the C 12-C 14 alkyltrimethylammonium derivatives. Any other convenient cationic surfactant may be used.
Additionally desirable are cationic plus nonionic surfactant systems. Other conventional useful surfactants are listed in standard texts.
15 Chelating Agents - The compositions herein may also optionally contain one or more transition-metal selective sequestrants, "chelants" or "chelating agents", e.g., iron and/or copper and/or manganese chelating agents. Chelating agents suitable for use herein can be selected from the group consisting of aminocarboxylates, phosphonates (especially the aminophosphonates), polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents, and mixtures thereof. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the benefit of these materials is due in part to their exceptional ability to control iron, copper and manganese in washing solutions; other benefits include inorganic film prevention or scale inhibition. Commercial chelating agents for use herein include the DEQUEST~ series, and chelants from Monsanto, DuPont, and Nalco, Inc.
Aminocarboxylates useful as optional chelating agents are further illustrated by ethylenediaminetetracetates, N hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetates, nitrilo-triacetates, ethylenediamine tetraproprionates, triethylenetetraaminehexacetates, diethylenetriamine-pentaacetates, and ethanoldiglycines, alkali metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts thereof. In general, chelant mixtures may be used for a combination of functions, such as multiple transition-metal control, long-term product stabilization, and/or control of precipitated transition metal oxides and/or hydroxides.
Polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful in the compositions herein. See U.S. Patent 3,812,044, issued May 21, 1974, to Connor et al. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfobenzenes such as 1,2-dihydroxy-3,5-disulfobenzene.
WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 A highly preferred biodegradable chelator for use herein is ethylenediamine disuccinate ("EDDS"), especially (but not limited to) the [S,S] isomer as described in U.S. Patent 4,704,233, November 3, 1987, to Hartman and Perkins. The trisodium , salt is preferred though other forms, such as magnesium salts, may also be useful.
Aminophosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the invention when at least low levels of total phosphorus are penmitted in detergent compositions, and include the ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates) and the diethylenetriaminepentakis (methylene phosphonates). Preferably, these aminophosphonates do not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms.
If utilized, chelating agents or transition-metal-selective sequestrants will preferably comprise from about 0.001% to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the compositions herein.
Builders - Detergent builders, including silicates, can optionally be included in the compositions herein to assist in controlling mineral hardness or for other useful purposes, such as to reduce corrosion of appliance components. Inorganic as well as organic builders can be used. Builders are typically used in fabric laundering compositions, for example to assist peptization of particulate soils.
The level of builder can vary widely depending upon the end use of the composition and its desired physical form. When present, the compositions will typically comprise at least about 1% builder. High performance compositions typically comprise from about 10% to about 80%, more typically from about 15%
to about 50% by weight, of the detergent builder. Lower or higher levels of builder, however, are not excluded.
Inorganic or P-containing detergent builders include, but are not limited to, the alkali metal, ammonium and alkanolammonium salts of polyphosphates (exemplified by the tripolyphosphates, pyrophosphates, and glassy polymeric meta-phosphates), phosphonates, phytic acid, silicates, carbonates (including bicarbonates and sesquicarbonates), sulfates, and aluminosilicates. However, non-phosphate builders are required in some locales. Compositions herein function surprisingly well even in the presence of "weak" builders (as compared with phosphates) such as citrate, or in the so-called "underbuilt" situation that may occur with zeolite or layered silicate builders. See U.S. Pat. 4,605,509 for examples of preferred aluminosilicates.
Examples of carbonate builders are the alkaline earth and alkali metal carbonates as disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2,321,001 published on November 15, 1973. Various grades and types of sodium carbonate and sodium WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 sesquicarbonate may be used, certain of which are particularly useful as carriers for other ingredients, especially detersive surfactants.
Aluminosilicate builders may be used in the present compositions. They can be crystalline or amorphous in structure and can be naturally-occurring aluminosilicates or synthetically-derived. A method for producing aluminosilicate ion exchange materials is disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,985,669, Krummel, et al, issued October 12, 1976. Preferred synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange materials useful herein are available under the designations Zeolite A, Zeolite P (B), Zeolite MAP and Zeolite X. In an especially preferred laundry embodiment, the crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange material used is Zeolite A. Various modifications are usefi~l, thus dehydrated or partially hydrated zeolite A may also be used, as can a wide range of particle sizes. Preferably, the aluminosilicate has a mean particle diameter of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns. Individual particles can desirably be even smaller than 0.1 micron to further assist kinetics of exchange ~ 5 through maximization of surface area. High surface area also increases utility of aluminosilicates as adsorbents for surfactants, especially in granular compositions.
Aggregates of silicate or aluminosilicate particles may be useful, a single aggregate having dimensions tailored to minimize segregation in granular compositions, while the aggregate particle remains dispersible to submicron individual particles during the wash. As with other builders such as carbonates, it may be desirable to use zeolites in any physical or morphological form adapted to promote surfactant carrier function, and appropriate particle sizes may be freely selected by the formulator.
Organic detergent builders suitable for the purposes of the present invention include, but are not restricted to, a wide variety of polycarboxylate compounds. As used herein, "polycarboxylate" refers to compounds having a plurality of carboxylate groups, preferably at least 3 carboxylates. Polycarboxylate builder,can generally be added to the composition in acid form, but can also be added in the form of a neutralized salt or "overbased". When utilized in salt form, alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, or alkanolammonium salts are preferred.
Included among the polycarboxylate builders are a variety of categories of useful materials. One important category of polycarboxylate builders encompasses the ether polycarboxylates, including oxydisuccinate, as disclosed in Berg, U.S.
Patent 3,128,287, issued April 7, 1964, and Lamberti et al, U.S. Patent 3,635,830, issued January I8, 1972. See also "TMS/TDS" builders of U.S. Patent 4,663,071, issued to Bush et al, on May 5, 1987. Suitable ether polycarboxylates also include cyclic compounds, particularly alicyclic compounds, such as those described in U.S.
Patents 3,923,679; 3,835,163; 4,158,635; 4,120,874. and 4,102,903.
Aminocarboxylates useful as optional chelating agents are further illustrated by ethylenediaminetetracetates, N hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetates, nitrilo-triacetates, ethylenediamine tetraproprionates, triethylenetetraaminehexacetates, diethylenetriamine-pentaacetates, and ethanoldiglycines, alkali metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts thereof. In general, chelant mixtures may be used for a combination of functions, such as multiple transition-metal control, long-term product stabilization, and/or control of precipitated transition metal oxides and/or hydroxides.
Polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful in the compositions herein. See U.S. Patent 3,812,044, issued May 21, 1974, to Connor et al. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfobenzenes such as 1,2-dihydroxy-3,5-disulfobenzene.
WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 A highly preferred biodegradable chelator for use herein is ethylenediamine disuccinate ("EDDS"), especially (but not limited to) the [S,S] isomer as described in U.S. Patent 4,704,233, November 3, 1987, to Hartman and Perkins. The trisodium , salt is preferred though other forms, such as magnesium salts, may also be useful.
Aminophosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the invention when at least low levels of total phosphorus are penmitted in detergent compositions, and include the ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates) and the diethylenetriaminepentakis (methylene phosphonates). Preferably, these aminophosphonates do not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms.
If utilized, chelating agents or transition-metal-selective sequestrants will preferably comprise from about 0.001% to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the compositions herein.
Builders - Detergent builders, including silicates, can optionally be included in the compositions herein to assist in controlling mineral hardness or for other useful purposes, such as to reduce corrosion of appliance components. Inorganic as well as organic builders can be used. Builders are typically used in fabric laundering compositions, for example to assist peptization of particulate soils.
The level of builder can vary widely depending upon the end use of the composition and its desired physical form. When present, the compositions will typically comprise at least about 1% builder. High performance compositions typically comprise from about 10% to about 80%, more typically from about 15%
to about 50% by weight, of the detergent builder. Lower or higher levels of builder, however, are not excluded.
Inorganic or P-containing detergent builders include, but are not limited to, the alkali metal, ammonium and alkanolammonium salts of polyphosphates (exemplified by the tripolyphosphates, pyrophosphates, and glassy polymeric meta-phosphates), phosphonates, phytic acid, silicates, carbonates (including bicarbonates and sesquicarbonates), sulfates, and aluminosilicates. However, non-phosphate builders are required in some locales. Compositions herein function surprisingly well even in the presence of "weak" builders (as compared with phosphates) such as citrate, or in the so-called "underbuilt" situation that may occur with zeolite or layered silicate builders. See U.S. Pat. 4,605,509 for examples of preferred aluminosilicates.
Examples of carbonate builders are the alkaline earth and alkali metal carbonates as disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2,321,001 published on November 15, 1973. Various grades and types of sodium carbonate and sodium WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 sesquicarbonate may be used, certain of which are particularly useful as carriers for other ingredients, especially detersive surfactants.
Aluminosilicate builders may be used in the present compositions. They can be crystalline or amorphous in structure and can be naturally-occurring aluminosilicates or synthetically-derived. A method for producing aluminosilicate ion exchange materials is disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,985,669, Krummel, et al, issued October 12, 1976. Preferred synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange materials useful herein are available under the designations Zeolite A, Zeolite P (B), Zeolite MAP and Zeolite X. In an especially preferred laundry embodiment, the crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange material used is Zeolite A. Various modifications are usefi~l, thus dehydrated or partially hydrated zeolite A may also be used, as can a wide range of particle sizes. Preferably, the aluminosilicate has a mean particle diameter of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns. Individual particles can desirably be even smaller than 0.1 micron to further assist kinetics of exchange ~ 5 through maximization of surface area. High surface area also increases utility of aluminosilicates as adsorbents for surfactants, especially in granular compositions.
Aggregates of silicate or aluminosilicate particles may be useful, a single aggregate having dimensions tailored to minimize segregation in granular compositions, while the aggregate particle remains dispersible to submicron individual particles during the wash. As with other builders such as carbonates, it may be desirable to use zeolites in any physical or morphological form adapted to promote surfactant carrier function, and appropriate particle sizes may be freely selected by the formulator.
Organic detergent builders suitable for the purposes of the present invention include, but are not restricted to, a wide variety of polycarboxylate compounds. As used herein, "polycarboxylate" refers to compounds having a plurality of carboxylate groups, preferably at least 3 carboxylates. Polycarboxylate builder,can generally be added to the composition in acid form, but can also be added in the form of a neutralized salt or "overbased". When utilized in salt form, alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, or alkanolammonium salts are preferred.
Included among the polycarboxylate builders are a variety of categories of useful materials. One important category of polycarboxylate builders encompasses the ether polycarboxylates, including oxydisuccinate, as disclosed in Berg, U.S.
Patent 3,128,287, issued April 7, 1964, and Lamberti et al, U.S. Patent 3,635,830, issued January I8, 1972. See also "TMS/TDS" builders of U.S. Patent 4,663,071, issued to Bush et al, on May 5, 1987. Suitable ether polycarboxylates also include cyclic compounds, particularly alicyclic compounds, such as those described in U.S.
Patents 3,923,679; 3,835,163; 4,158,635; 4,120,874. and 4,102,903.
Other useful detergency builders include the ether hydroxypolycarboxylates, copolymers of malefic anhydride with ethylene or vinyl methyl ether, 1, 3, 5-trihydroxy benzene-2, 4, 6-trisulphonic acid, and carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, the various alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of polyacetic acids 5 such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and nitrilotriacetic acid, as well as polycarboxylates such as metlitic acid; succinic acid, oxydisuccinic acid, polymaleic acid, benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, and soluble salts thereof.
Citrate builders, e.g., citric acid and soluble salts thereof (particularly sodium salt), are polycarboxylate builders of particular importance for heavy duty laundry detergents due to their availability from renewable resources and their biodegradability. Citrates can also be used in combination with zeoGte and/or so-called disilicate or layered silicate builders. Oxydisuccinates are also useful in such compositions and combinations.
15 Also suitable in the detergent compositions of the present invention are the 3,3-dicarboxy-4-oxa-1,6-heacanedioates and the related compounds disclosed in-U.S.
Patent 4,566,984, Bush, issued January 28, 1986. Useful succinic acid builders include the CS-C20 alkyl and alkenyl succinic acids and salts thereof. A
particularly preferred compound of this type is dodecenylsuccinic acid. Specific examples of 20 succinate builders include: laurylsuccinate, myristylsuccinate, palmitylsuccinate, 2-dodecenylsuccinate (preferred), 2-pentadecenylsuccinate, and the like.
Laurylsuccinates are the preferred builders of this group, and are described in European Patent Application 0,200,263, published November 5, 1986.
Other suitable polycarboxylates are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,144,226, 25 Crutchseld et al, issued March 13, 1979 and in U.S. Patent 3,308,067, Diehl, issued March 7, 1967. See also U.S. Patent 3,723,322.
Fatty acids, e.g., C 12-C 18 monocarboxyGc acids, can also be incorporated into the compositions alone, or in combination with the aforesaid builders, especially ciliate and/or the succinate builders, to provide additional builder activity.
Such use 30 of fatty acids will generally result in a diminution of sudsing in laundry compositions, which may need to be be taken into account by the formulator. Fatty acids or their salts are undesirable in embodiments in situations wherein soap scams can form and be deposited on substrates where such scams or films would be visually objectionable.
35 Where phosphorus-based builders can be used, the various alkali metal phosphates such as the weU-known sodium tripolyphosphates, sodium pyrophosphate and sodium orthophosphate can be used. Phosphonate builders such as ethane-I-WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 , hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate and other known phosphonates (see, for example, U.S.
Patents 3,159,581; 3,213,030; 3,422,021; 3,400,148 and 3;422,137) can also be used though such materials are more commonly used in a low-level mode as chelants or stabilizers.
The present detergent compositions may further comprise a water-soluble silicate. Water-soluble silicates herein are any silicates which are soluble to the extent that they produce a measurable change in pH when added to pure water.
Examples of silicates are sodium metasilicate and, more generally, the alkali metal silicates, particularly those having a Si02:Na20 ratio in the range 1.6:1 to 3.2:1; and layered silicates, such as the layered sodium silicates described in U.S.
Patent 4,664,839, issued May 12, 1987 to H. P. Rieck. NaSKS-6~ is a crystalline layered silicate marketed by Hoechst (commonly abbreviated herein .as "SKS-6").
Unlike zeolite builders, Na SKS-6 and other water-soluble silicates or disilicates useful herein do not contain aluminum. NaSKS-6 is the 8-Na2Si05 form of layered silicate and can be prepared by methods such as those described in German DE-A-3,417,649 and DE-A-3,742,043. SKS-6 is a preferred layered silicate for use herein, but other such layered silicates, such as those having the general formula NaMSix02x+1'YH20 wherein M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4, preferably 2, and y is a number from 0 to 20, preferably 0 can be used.
Various other layered silicates from Hoechst include NaSKS-5, NaSKS-7 and NaSKS-11, as the oc-, (3- and Y- forms. Other silicates may also be useful, such as for example magnesium silicate, which can serve as a crispening agent in granular formulations, as a stabilizing agent for oxygen bleaches, and as a component of suds control systems.
Silicates optionally useful herein include granular hydrous 2-ratio silicates such as BRITESIL~ H20 from PQ Corp., and the commonly sourced BRITESIL~
H24 though liquid grades of various silicates can be used when the composition has liquid form. Within safe limits, sodium metasilicate or sodium hydroxide alone or in combination with other silicates may be used to boost wash~pH to a desired level.
Detersive Enz runes - "Detersive enzyme", as used herein, means any enzyme SO having a cleaning, stain removing or otherwise beneficial effect in a detergent composition. Preferred detersive enzymes are hydrolases such as proteases, amylases . and lipases. Highly preferred for are amylases and/or proteases, including both current commercially available types and improved types which, though more bleach compatible, have a remaining degree of bleach deactivation susceptibility.
In general, as noted, preferred detergent compositions herein comprise one or more detersive enzymes. If only one enzyme is used, it is preferably a protealytic enzyme when the composition is for laundry use. Highly preferred is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes and amyloytic enzymes. More generally, the enzymes to be incorporated include professes, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and peroxidases, as well as mixtures thereof. Other types of enzymes may also be included. They may be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin.
5 However, their choice is governed by several factors such as pH-activity andlor stability optima, thermostability, stability versus active detergents, builders, etc. In this respect bacterial or fungal enzymes are preferred, such as bacterial amylases and professes, and fungal cellulases.
Enzymes are normally incorporated in the instant detergent compositions at t 0 levels sufficient to provide a "cleaning-effective amount". The term "cleaning effective amount" refers to any amount capable of producing a cleaning, stain removal or soil removal effect on substrates such as fabrics or other substrates being cleaned. Since enzymes are catalytic materials, such amounts may be very small. In practical terms for current commercial preparations, typical amounts are up to about t 5 5 mg by weight, more typically about 0.01 mg to about 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the composition. Stated otherwise, the compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.001~/o to about 6%, preferably 0.01°/.-1~/e by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. Protease enzymes are usually present in such commercial preparations at levels sufficient to provide from 0.005 to 0.1 Anson units 20 (AL>] of activity per gram of composition. For compact detergent purposes, it may be desirable to increase the active enzyme content of the commercial preparations, in order to minimize the total amount of non-catalytically active materials delivered.
Suitable examples of professes are the subtilisins which are obtained from particular strains of B. sr~bdlis and B, liclrenifornris. Another suitable protease is 25 obtained from s strain of Bacillus, having maximum activity throughout the pH range of 8-12, devdoped and sold by Novo Industries A/S as ESPERASE~. The preparation of thin enzyme and analogous enzymes is described in British Patent Specification No. 1,243,784 of Novo. Proteolytic enzymes suitable for removing protein-based stains that are commercially available include those sold under the 30 tradenames ALCALASE~ and SAVIrIASE~ by Novo Industries A/S (Denmark) and MAXATASE~ by International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. (T'he Netherlands). Other professes include Protease A (see European Patent Application 130,75b, published January 9, 1985) and Protease B (see European Patent Application 251,446 published January 7, 1988, and European Patent Application 130,756, Bott et al, published 35 January 9, 1985 ).
An especially preferred protease, referred to as "Protease D" is a carbonyl hydrolase variant having an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived from a precursor carbonyl hydrolase by substituting a different amino acid for a plurality of amino acid residues at a position in said carbonyl hydrolase equivalent to position +76, preferably also in combination with one or more amino acid residue positions equivalent to those selected from the group consisting of +99, +101, +103, 5 +104, +107, +123, +27, +105, +109, +126, +128, +135, +156, +166, +195, +197, +204, +206, +210, +216, +217, +218, +222, +260, +265, andlor +274 according to the numbering of Bacillus amyloliqueJaciens subtilisin, Amylases suitable herein include, for example, a-amylases described in British Patent Specification No. 1,296,839 (Novo), RAPmASE~, International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. and ~, Novo Industries.
15 Engineering of enzymes for improved stability, e.g., oxidative stability, is known. See, for example J. Biological Chem., Vol. 260, No. 11, June 1985, pp 6518-6521. "Reference amylase" refers to a conventional amylase inside the scope of the amylases useful in this invention. Further, stability-enhanced amylases, also useful herein, are typically superior to these "reference amylases".
20 The present invention, in certain preferred embodiments, can make use of amylases having improved stability in detergents, especially improved oxidative stability. A convenient absolute stability reference-point against which amylases used in these preferred embodiments of the instant invention represent a measurable improvement is the stability of ~ in commercial use in 1993 and 25 available from Novo Nordisk A/S. This T'E;F~MAM~~L~ amylase is a "reference amylase", and is itself we1!-suited for use in the (Detergent) compositions of the invention, as well as in inventive fabric laundering compositions herein. Even more preferred amylases herein share the characteristic of being "stability-enhanced"
amylases, characterized, at a minimum, by a measurable improvement in one or more 30 of oxidative stability, e.g., to hydrogen peroxideltetraacetylethylenediamine in buffered solution at pH 9-10; thermal stability, e.g., at common wash temperatures such as about 60oC; or alkaline stability, e.g., at a pH from about 8 to about 11, all measured versus the abovo-identified reference-amylase. Preferred amylases herein can demonstrate further improvement versus more challenging reference amylases, 35 the latter reference amylases being illustrated by any of the precursor amylases of which preferred amylases within the invention are variants. Such precursor amylases may themselves be natural or be the product of genetic engineering. Stability can be measured using any of the art-disclosed techrucai tests. See references disclosed in WO 94/02597, itself and documents therein .
In general, stability-enhanced amylases respecting the preferred embodiments of the invention can be obtained from Novo Nordisk AIS, or from Genencor International.
Preferred amylases herein have the commonality of being derived using site directed mutagenesis from one or more of the Baccillus amylases, especially the Bacillus alpha-amylases, regardless of whether one, two or multiple amylase strains are the immediate precursors.
As noted, "oxidative stability-enhanced" amylases are preferred for use herein despite the fact that the invention makes them "optional but preferred"
.materials rather than essential. Such amylases are non-limitingly illustrated by the following:
(a) An amylase according to the hereinbefore incorporated W0/94/02597, t 5 Novo Nordisk A/S, published Feb. 3, 1994, as further illustrated by a mutant in which substitution is made, using alanine or threonine (preferably threonine), of the methionine residue located in position 197 of the B.lichenifosmis alpha-amylase, known as TEPa~tAMYL~, or the homologous position variation of a similar parent amylase, such as B. cartyloliquefacie»s, B.subtilis, or B.stearothermophilus:
(b) Stability-enhanced amylases as described by Genencor International in a paper entitled "Oxidatively Resistant alpha-Amylases" presented at the 207th American Chemical Society National Meeting, March 13-17 1994, by C.
Ivfitchinson.
Therein it was noted that bleaches in detergents inactivate alpha-amylases but that improved oxidative stability amylases have been made by Genencor from B.lic>unrfonnis NCIB8061. Methionine (Met) was identified as the most likely residue to be modified. Met was substituted, one at a time, in positions 8,15,197,256,304,366 and 438 leading to specific mutants, particularly important being M197L and M19TT with the M19TT variant being the most stable expressed variant. Stability was measured in CASCADE~ and SUNLIGHT;
(c) Particularly preferred herein are amylase variants having additional modification in the immediate parent available from Novo Nordisk A/S. These amylases do not yet have a tradename but are those referred to by the supplier as QL37+M 197T.
Any other oxidative stability-enhanced amylase can be used, for example as derived by site-directed mutagenesis from known chimeric, hybrid or simple mutant parent forms of available amylases.
Citrate builders, e.g., citric acid and soluble salts thereof (particularly sodium salt), are polycarboxylate builders of particular importance for heavy duty laundry detergents due to their availability from renewable resources and their biodegradability. Citrates can also be used in combination with zeoGte and/or so-called disilicate or layered silicate builders. Oxydisuccinates are also useful in such compositions and combinations.
15 Also suitable in the detergent compositions of the present invention are the 3,3-dicarboxy-4-oxa-1,6-heacanedioates and the related compounds disclosed in-U.S.
Patent 4,566,984, Bush, issued January 28, 1986. Useful succinic acid builders include the CS-C20 alkyl and alkenyl succinic acids and salts thereof. A
particularly preferred compound of this type is dodecenylsuccinic acid. Specific examples of 20 succinate builders include: laurylsuccinate, myristylsuccinate, palmitylsuccinate, 2-dodecenylsuccinate (preferred), 2-pentadecenylsuccinate, and the like.
Laurylsuccinates are the preferred builders of this group, and are described in European Patent Application 0,200,263, published November 5, 1986.
Other suitable polycarboxylates are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,144,226, 25 Crutchseld et al, issued March 13, 1979 and in U.S. Patent 3,308,067, Diehl, issued March 7, 1967. See also U.S. Patent 3,723,322.
Fatty acids, e.g., C 12-C 18 monocarboxyGc acids, can also be incorporated into the compositions alone, or in combination with the aforesaid builders, especially ciliate and/or the succinate builders, to provide additional builder activity.
Such use 30 of fatty acids will generally result in a diminution of sudsing in laundry compositions, which may need to be be taken into account by the formulator. Fatty acids or their salts are undesirable in embodiments in situations wherein soap scams can form and be deposited on substrates where such scams or films would be visually objectionable.
35 Where phosphorus-based builders can be used, the various alkali metal phosphates such as the weU-known sodium tripolyphosphates, sodium pyrophosphate and sodium orthophosphate can be used. Phosphonate builders such as ethane-I-WO 96/23862 PCTlUS96101335 , hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate and other known phosphonates (see, for example, U.S.
Patents 3,159,581; 3,213,030; 3,422,021; 3,400,148 and 3;422,137) can also be used though such materials are more commonly used in a low-level mode as chelants or stabilizers.
The present detergent compositions may further comprise a water-soluble silicate. Water-soluble silicates herein are any silicates which are soluble to the extent that they produce a measurable change in pH when added to pure water.
Examples of silicates are sodium metasilicate and, more generally, the alkali metal silicates, particularly those having a Si02:Na20 ratio in the range 1.6:1 to 3.2:1; and layered silicates, such as the layered sodium silicates described in U.S.
Patent 4,664,839, issued May 12, 1987 to H. P. Rieck. NaSKS-6~ is a crystalline layered silicate marketed by Hoechst (commonly abbreviated herein .as "SKS-6").
Unlike zeolite builders, Na SKS-6 and other water-soluble silicates or disilicates useful herein do not contain aluminum. NaSKS-6 is the 8-Na2Si05 form of layered silicate and can be prepared by methods such as those described in German DE-A-3,417,649 and DE-A-3,742,043. SKS-6 is a preferred layered silicate for use herein, but other such layered silicates, such as those having the general formula NaMSix02x+1'YH20 wherein M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4, preferably 2, and y is a number from 0 to 20, preferably 0 can be used.
Various other layered silicates from Hoechst include NaSKS-5, NaSKS-7 and NaSKS-11, as the oc-, (3- and Y- forms. Other silicates may also be useful, such as for example magnesium silicate, which can serve as a crispening agent in granular formulations, as a stabilizing agent for oxygen bleaches, and as a component of suds control systems.
Silicates optionally useful herein include granular hydrous 2-ratio silicates such as BRITESIL~ H20 from PQ Corp., and the commonly sourced BRITESIL~
H24 though liquid grades of various silicates can be used when the composition has liquid form. Within safe limits, sodium metasilicate or sodium hydroxide alone or in combination with other silicates may be used to boost wash~pH to a desired level.
Detersive Enz runes - "Detersive enzyme", as used herein, means any enzyme SO having a cleaning, stain removing or otherwise beneficial effect in a detergent composition. Preferred detersive enzymes are hydrolases such as proteases, amylases . and lipases. Highly preferred for are amylases and/or proteases, including both current commercially available types and improved types which, though more bleach compatible, have a remaining degree of bleach deactivation susceptibility.
In general, as noted, preferred detergent compositions herein comprise one or more detersive enzymes. If only one enzyme is used, it is preferably a protealytic enzyme when the composition is for laundry use. Highly preferred is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes and amyloytic enzymes. More generally, the enzymes to be incorporated include professes, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and peroxidases, as well as mixtures thereof. Other types of enzymes may also be included. They may be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin.
5 However, their choice is governed by several factors such as pH-activity andlor stability optima, thermostability, stability versus active detergents, builders, etc. In this respect bacterial or fungal enzymes are preferred, such as bacterial amylases and professes, and fungal cellulases.
Enzymes are normally incorporated in the instant detergent compositions at t 0 levels sufficient to provide a "cleaning-effective amount". The term "cleaning effective amount" refers to any amount capable of producing a cleaning, stain removal or soil removal effect on substrates such as fabrics or other substrates being cleaned. Since enzymes are catalytic materials, such amounts may be very small. In practical terms for current commercial preparations, typical amounts are up to about t 5 5 mg by weight, more typically about 0.01 mg to about 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the composition. Stated otherwise, the compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.001~/o to about 6%, preferably 0.01°/.-1~/e by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. Protease enzymes are usually present in such commercial preparations at levels sufficient to provide from 0.005 to 0.1 Anson units 20 (AL>] of activity per gram of composition. For compact detergent purposes, it may be desirable to increase the active enzyme content of the commercial preparations, in order to minimize the total amount of non-catalytically active materials delivered.
Suitable examples of professes are the subtilisins which are obtained from particular strains of B. sr~bdlis and B, liclrenifornris. Another suitable protease is 25 obtained from s strain of Bacillus, having maximum activity throughout the pH range of 8-12, devdoped and sold by Novo Industries A/S as ESPERASE~. The preparation of thin enzyme and analogous enzymes is described in British Patent Specification No. 1,243,784 of Novo. Proteolytic enzymes suitable for removing protein-based stains that are commercially available include those sold under the 30 tradenames ALCALASE~ and SAVIrIASE~ by Novo Industries A/S (Denmark) and MAXATASE~ by International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. (T'he Netherlands). Other professes include Protease A (see European Patent Application 130,75b, published January 9, 1985) and Protease B (see European Patent Application 251,446 published January 7, 1988, and European Patent Application 130,756, Bott et al, published 35 January 9, 1985 ).
An especially preferred protease, referred to as "Protease D" is a carbonyl hydrolase variant having an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived from a precursor carbonyl hydrolase by substituting a different amino acid for a plurality of amino acid residues at a position in said carbonyl hydrolase equivalent to position +76, preferably also in combination with one or more amino acid residue positions equivalent to those selected from the group consisting of +99, +101, +103, 5 +104, +107, +123, +27, +105, +109, +126, +128, +135, +156, +166, +195, +197, +204, +206, +210, +216, +217, +218, +222, +260, +265, andlor +274 according to the numbering of Bacillus amyloliqueJaciens subtilisin, Amylases suitable herein include, for example, a-amylases described in British Patent Specification No. 1,296,839 (Novo), RAPmASE~, International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. and ~, Novo Industries.
15 Engineering of enzymes for improved stability, e.g., oxidative stability, is known. See, for example J. Biological Chem., Vol. 260, No. 11, June 1985, pp 6518-6521. "Reference amylase" refers to a conventional amylase inside the scope of the amylases useful in this invention. Further, stability-enhanced amylases, also useful herein, are typically superior to these "reference amylases".
20 The present invention, in certain preferred embodiments, can make use of amylases having improved stability in detergents, especially improved oxidative stability. A convenient absolute stability reference-point against which amylases used in these preferred embodiments of the instant invention represent a measurable improvement is the stability of ~ in commercial use in 1993 and 25 available from Novo Nordisk A/S. This T'E;F~MAM~~L~ amylase is a "reference amylase", and is itself we1!-suited for use in the (Detergent) compositions of the invention, as well as in inventive fabric laundering compositions herein. Even more preferred amylases herein share the characteristic of being "stability-enhanced"
amylases, characterized, at a minimum, by a measurable improvement in one or more 30 of oxidative stability, e.g., to hydrogen peroxideltetraacetylethylenediamine in buffered solution at pH 9-10; thermal stability, e.g., at common wash temperatures such as about 60oC; or alkaline stability, e.g., at a pH from about 8 to about 11, all measured versus the abovo-identified reference-amylase. Preferred amylases herein can demonstrate further improvement versus more challenging reference amylases, 35 the latter reference amylases being illustrated by any of the precursor amylases of which preferred amylases within the invention are variants. Such precursor amylases may themselves be natural or be the product of genetic engineering. Stability can be measured using any of the art-disclosed techrucai tests. See references disclosed in WO 94/02597, itself and documents therein .
In general, stability-enhanced amylases respecting the preferred embodiments of the invention can be obtained from Novo Nordisk AIS, or from Genencor International.
Preferred amylases herein have the commonality of being derived using site directed mutagenesis from one or more of the Baccillus amylases, especially the Bacillus alpha-amylases, regardless of whether one, two or multiple amylase strains are the immediate precursors.
As noted, "oxidative stability-enhanced" amylases are preferred for use herein despite the fact that the invention makes them "optional but preferred"
.materials rather than essential. Such amylases are non-limitingly illustrated by the following:
(a) An amylase according to the hereinbefore incorporated W0/94/02597, t 5 Novo Nordisk A/S, published Feb. 3, 1994, as further illustrated by a mutant in which substitution is made, using alanine or threonine (preferably threonine), of the methionine residue located in position 197 of the B.lichenifosmis alpha-amylase, known as TEPa~tAMYL~, or the homologous position variation of a similar parent amylase, such as B. cartyloliquefacie»s, B.subtilis, or B.stearothermophilus:
(b) Stability-enhanced amylases as described by Genencor International in a paper entitled "Oxidatively Resistant alpha-Amylases" presented at the 207th American Chemical Society National Meeting, March 13-17 1994, by C.
Ivfitchinson.
Therein it was noted that bleaches in detergents inactivate alpha-amylases but that improved oxidative stability amylases have been made by Genencor from B.lic>unrfonnis NCIB8061. Methionine (Met) was identified as the most likely residue to be modified. Met was substituted, one at a time, in positions 8,15,197,256,304,366 and 438 leading to specific mutants, particularly important being M197L and M19TT with the M19TT variant being the most stable expressed variant. Stability was measured in CASCADE~ and SUNLIGHT;
(c) Particularly preferred herein are amylase variants having additional modification in the immediate parent available from Novo Nordisk A/S. These amylases do not yet have a tradename but are those referred to by the supplier as QL37+M 197T.
Any other oxidative stability-enhanced amylase can be used, for example as derived by site-directed mutagenesis from known chimeric, hybrid or simple mutant parent forms of available amylases.
Celluiases usable in, but not preferred, for the present invention include both bacterial or fungal cellulases. Preferably, they will have a pH optimum of between 5 and 9.5. Suitable ceUulases are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,435,307, Barbesgoard et al, issued March 6, 1984, which discloses fungal cellulose produced from Humicola irrsole»s and Huraicola strain DSM1800 or a cellulose 212-producing fungus belonging to the genus Aeronronas, and cellulose extracted from the hepatopancreas of a marine mollusk (Dolabella Auricula Solarrder). Suitable cellulases are also disclosed in GB-A-2.075.028; GB-A-2.095.275 and DE-OS-2.247.832.
CARFZYME~ (Novo) is especially useful.

PolSrmeric Soil Release Anent - Any polymeric soil release agent known to those skilled in the art can optionally be employed in the compositions and processes of this invention. Polymeric soil release agents are characterized by having both hydrophilic segments, to hydrophilize the surface of hydrophobic fibers, such as t 5 polyester and nylon, and hydrophobic segments, to deposit upon hydrophobic fibers and ren~aicr adhered thereto through completion of washing and rinsing cycles and, thus, serve as an anchor for the hydrophilic segments. This can enable stains occurring subsequent to treatment with the soil release agent to be more easily cleaned in later washing procedures.
The polymeric soil release agents useful herein especially include those soil release agents having: (a) one or more nonionic hydrophile components consisting essentially of (i) polyoxyethylene segments with a degree of polymerisation of at least 2, or ('u) oxypmpyltne or polyoxypropylene segments with a degree of polymerization of from 2 to 10, wherein said hydrophile segment does not encompass any oxypropylene unit unless it is bonded to adjacent moieties at each end by ether linkages, or (iii) a mixture of oxyalkylene units comprising oxyethylene and from 1 to about 30 oxypropylene units wherein said mixture contains a su~cient amount of oxyethylene units such that the hydrophile component has hydrophilicity great enough to increase the hydrophilicity of conventional polyester synthetic fiber surfaces upon deposit of the soil release agent on such surface, said hydrophile segments preferably comprising at least about 25% oxyethylene units and more preferably, especially for such components having about 20 to 30 oxypropylene units, at least about 50% oxyethylene units; or (b) one or more hydrophobe components comprising (i) C3 oxyalkylene terephthalate segments, wherein, if said hydrophobe components also comprise oxyethylene terephthalate, the ratio of oxyethylene terephthalate: C3 oxyalkylene terephthalate units is about 2:1 or lower, (ii) alkylene or oxy C4-C6 alkylene segments, or mixtures therein, (iii) poly (vinyl ester) segments, preferably polyvinyl acetate), having a degree of polymerization of at least 2, or (iv) C 1-C4 alkyl ether or C4 hydroxyalkyl ether substituents, or mixtures therein, wherein said substituents are present in the form of Cl-C4 alkyl ether or C4 hydroxyalkyl ether cellulose derivatives, or mixtures therein, and such cellulose 5 derivatives are amphiphilic, whereby they have a sufficient level of C 1-C4 alkyl ether and/or C4 hydroxyalkyl ether units to deposit upon conventional polyester synthetic fiber surfaces and retain a sufficient level of hydroxyls, once adhered to such conventional synthetic fiber surface, to increase fiber surface hydrophilicity, or a combination of (a) and (b).

However, othar compositions herein may have exceptionally low buffering capacity, or may be substantially unbuffered. Techniques for controlling or varying pH
at recommended usage levels more generally include the use of not only buffers, but also additional alkalis, acids, pH jump systems, dual compartment containers, etc., 35 and are we0 known to those skilled in the art. Detergent compositions herein in granular form typically limit water content, for example to less than about 7%
free water, for best storage stability.
