The present invention relates to granules comprising a bleach catalyst and to their use in bleach-containing detergents.

The invention relates to a granulate of a particular bleach catalyst i. e. an acylhydrazone compound. The granulate contains a specific two-layer coating and is useful as bleach catalyst in powder detergents. Further aspects of the invention are the preparation of the granulate and a washing or bleaching formulation containing the granulate.

A neutral or acidic automatic dishwashing detergent composition including a pH regulator system and a cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of cleaning surfactants, soil suspending polymers and mixtures thereof wherein the weight ratio of the pH regulator system to the cleaning agent is from 3:1 to 1:1 system and wherein the detergent composition includes from 0.01% to 5% by weight of the composition of a perfume.

A neutral or acidic automatic dishwashing detergent composition including inorganic bleach, enzymes and a cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of cleaning surfactants, soil suspending polymers and mixtures thereof and from 0.01% to 5% by weight of the composition of a perfume and wherein the composition has a cleaning index of at least 60 and a care index of at least 4 as defined herein.

A composite including at least one benefit agent, and a blend including: at least one water soluble polymer; and at least one salt, or at least one surfactant, or a mixture thereof; optionally at least one wax or wax-like substance; and optionally at least one amphiphilic polymer. Further aspects of the invention relate to a process for preparing the composites, consumer products including the composites and uses thereof.

Disclosed are coated or uncoated co-granules comprising the following: a) 10 to 40% by weight of cyclic sulfonimine, b) 20 to 60% by weight of bleach activator selected from the group consisting of tetraacetylethylenediamine, decanoyloxybenzoic acid or mixtures thereof, c) 0.1 to 5% by weight of organic acid in the form of the free acid and/or a salt thereof in partially neutralized form, d) 1 to 15% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol as a binder, e) 10 to 25% by weight of desicant selected from the group consisting of alkali metal sulfate, alkali metal carbonate, alkaline earth metal sulfate, alkaline earth metal carbonate, alkaline earth metal oxide, aluminum oxide, hydrates of these compounds or mixtures of two or more thereof, f) 0 to 0.5% by weight of dye and/or pigment, and g) 0 to 5% by weight of water, wherein the percentages relate to the sum of components a) to g) and the sum of components a) to g) is 100 percent.

These co-granules are stable in storage over a longer period of time and contain ingredients which do not tend to discolor during storage or which, in the case of colored co-granules, do not tend to change color.

The present invention relates to co-granules comprising an enzyme and a bleach catalyst and to their use in bleach-containing granular automatic dishwash (ADW) detergents.

The present application relates to encapsulated, preformed peracids and products comprising such encapsulates, as well as processes for making and using such encapsulates and products comprising such encapsulates. Such products deliver bleaching that results in superior whiteness and stain removal without the stability issues that are normally associated with certain bleaching systems.

Stabilized catalyst detergent compositions are provided in solid formulations of detergents including an active oxygen source and/or a highly alkaline detergent composition. The compositions are suitable for use with additional detergent and/or bleaching compositions while providing stabilized catalysts within a polymeric matrix. Methods or process for manufacturing the compositions, and methods of use for cleaning are disclosed.

A peracid bleaching species is formed in situ in aqueous wash liquor by reaction of a peroxygen bleach precursor, such as perborate or percarbonate, and a bleach activator. The bleach activator is an acetylated ethylene diamine, that comprises at least 25% triacetyl ethylene diamine. The peracid is formed more rapidly even at low temperatures (F2) compared to use of conventional pure tetracetyl ethylene diamine (F1) and better disinfectant properties result.
