## Abstract

Solid, concentrated, multi-use, stabilized peroxygen bleach compositions are disclosed. The solid compositions employ a C6-C18 fatty acid binding system for improving shelf stability of an activated bleach composition containing a peroxygen source and a bleach activating agent. Methods of formulating and methods of use are further provided.

## Claims

at least 50 wt-% of a solid active oxygen source;
about 0.1-50 wt-% of a bleach activating agent; and
a C6-C18 fatty acid binding system;
wherein the solid composition has less than 1 wt-% water and provides shelf stability at room temperature for at least about one year.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1, wherein the composition includes an alkaline and/or acid filler.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The composition according to claim 2, wherein the alkaline filler is an alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal metasilicate, alkali metal bicarbonate, alkali metal sesquicarbonate or a mixture thereof, and/or wherein the acid filler is a weak organic acid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1, wherein the solid active oxygen source is a peroxygen compound, peroxygen compound adduct, hydrogen peroxide liberating or generating compound, inorganic or organic peroxyacid, peroxycarboxylic acid, percarbonate or a combination thereof.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The composition according to claim 4, wherein the active oxygen source is an
alkali
metal percarbonate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1, wherein the bleach activating agent is tetraacetyl ethylene diamine, decanoyloxy benzoic acid, or nonanoyloxybenzene sulphonate, and wherein the C6-C18 fatty acid binding system comprises a coconut fatty acid.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The composition according to claim 6, wherein the binding system further comprises an anionic surfactant.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The composition according to claim 7, wherein the anionic surfactant comprises an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), and/or dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DDBSA).

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1, wherein a use solution of the stabilized solid bleach composition has a pH between about 8.5 and about 10.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1, further comprising a chelant, sequestrant and/or additional functional ingredient.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The composition according to claim 1, comprising from about 10-45 wt-% of the bleach activating agent, from about 50-90 wt-% of the active oxygen source, and from about 0.1-10 wt-% of the binding system.

### Claim 12

A stabilized activated bleach solid block composition comprising:
from about 50-90 wt-% of a solid active oxygen source;
from about 10-45 wt-% of a bleach activating agent; and
from about 0.1-10 wt-% of a C6-C18 fatty acid binding system,
wherein the solid composition has less than 0.5 wt-% water and provides shelf stability at room temperature for at least one year.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The composition according to claim 12, further comprising an alkaline and/or acid filler.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The composition according to claim 12, wherein the solid active oxygen source is a peroxygen compound, peroxygen compound adduct, hydrogen peroxide liberating or generating compound, inorganic or organic peroxyacid, peroxycarboxylic acid, percarbonate or a combination thereof, wherein the bleach activating agent is tetraacetyl ethylene diamine, decanoyloxy benzoic acid, or nonanoyloxybenzene sulphonates, and wherein the C6-C18 fatty acid binding system is a coco C6-C18 fatty acid and optionally further includes an anionic surfactant.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)
