US Patent:

4435335, Mar 6, 1984

Filed:

Jan 4, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/336542

Inventors:

James M. Mayer - Maryland Heights MO

Assignee:

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

C07C17910

US Classification:

260502R

Abstract:

Substituted-butanediperoxoic acids represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl of 6 to 18 carbon atoms or phenyl are useful oxidizing agents. These substituted-butanediperoxoic acids are useful as bleaching agents and disinfecting agents.

US Patent:

Filed:

Sep 30, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/838279

Inventors:

Marvin M. Crutchfield - St. Louis County MO
Robert P. Langguth - Overland MO
James M. Mayer - Maryland Heights MO

Assignee:

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

C11D 760

US Classification:

252102

Abstract:

The alkali metal salts of imidobis sulfuric acid, particularly the trisodium salt, is effective in heavy duty laundry detergent compositions by reducing the damaging effects of chlorine-containing bleaches on the fabric while minimizing the loss in effectiveness of the bleach in removing stains from the soiled fabric. Accordingly, a detergent composition is provided which comprises, based on the total weight of the composition, at least 5 percent by weight of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, ampholytic and amphoteric surfactants, at least 5 percent by weight of a builder, and a bleach-damage mitigating amount of trisodium imidobis sulfate, tripotassium imidobis sulfate or mixtures thereof. A process for washing soiled fabrics is also provided comprising contacting the fabrics with a detergent, a chlorine-containing bleach, and a bleach-damage mitigating amount of the alkali metal imidobis sulfate.

424

US Classification:

252102

Abstract:

A fabric bleaching composition is provided which consists essentially of water and a bleach selected from the group consisting of disodium chloroimidodisulfate, dipotassium chloroimidodisulfate and mixtures thereof. The fabric bleaching composition can also contain a detergent, a buffering agent and other ingredients in a detergent formulation. The fabric bleaching composition is intermediate in strength between peroxide-type fabric bleaches and alkali metal hypochlorite fabric bleaches.
