Films including an aversive UV-protective agent, e.g., a quinoliziumolate, exhibiting improved thermostable UV protection and an acceptable bittering value at the same time which further minimizes processing complexity. Unit dose articles that include such films. Related processes.

A cleaning liquid composition is provided. More particularly, a cleaning liquid composition includes a transition metal compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 (see the detailed description of the present invention); and a hydrocarbon-based solvent, and a cleaning method of a polymerization apparatus using the same.

A dishwashing composition including a copolymer including polyalkylene oxide groups and quaternary nitrogen atoms and more than 30% by weight of the composition of a complexing agent.

A dishwashing composition including a copolymer including polyalkylene oxide groups and quaternary nitrogen atoms and a complexing agent system comprising citrate.

The invention relates to the use of specific amines as bleaching catalyst for detergent compositions and to bleach and detergent compositions containing these. The invention concerns also a formulation comprising at least a detergent, aspecific amine, and optionally a source ofhydrogen peroxide.

The present invention provides granules containing one or more bleaching catalysts selected from the group of manganese salts or manganese complexes and at least one binder selected from the group of acid organic compounds coated with 0.1 to 3% by weight, referring to the total amount of the granules, with a polyvinyl alcohol-containing coating, wherein the coating comprises at least 80% of polyvinyl alcohol or mixtures thereof, in relation to the total weight of the coating.

The present invention concerns a granule comprising Mn(II) oxalate, a protonated salt of a cyclic triamine, a polysaccharide absorbent and a coating agent. In another embodiment the invention concerns a granule comprising a polysaccharide absorbent, a protonated salt of a cyclic triamine and no or very small amounts of Mn. The invention also concerns methods of preparing said granules comprising Mn(II) oxalate, polysaccharide absorbent and such salts or comprising polysaccharide absorbent, such salts and no Mn compound and bleaching formulations comprising the granules and a peroxy compound or a precursor thereof. Granules comprising Mn(II) oxalate, polysaccharide absorbent and the salt or comprising polysaccharide absorbent, the salt and no Mn compound, and formulations comprising these are suitable for use in catalysing oxidation, for example as a component of a dishwasher bleaching composition. The invention further relates to methods of oxidising with the bleaching formulations described herein.

A method of cleaning soiled ware in a dishwasher the method having the step of using a water-soluble pouch, the pouch comprising a phosphate-free cleaning composition wherein the cleaning composition comprises loose powder and the composition comprises bleach, metal bleach catalyst and a complexing agent and wherein the complexing agent is slowly released as compared to the bleach catalyst.

A liquid detergent composition comprising manganese 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (MnTACN) and derivatives thereof, a hydrotrope and a non-ionic surfactant, wherein the composition is contained in a water-soluble film; and wherein the hydrotope is selected from the group comprising salts of cumenesulphonate, xylenesulphonate and/or toluenesulphonate.
