Abstract
A treated oxidizing agent is provided according to the invention. The treated oxidizing agent includes an oxidizing agent that is solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and a chemical barrier composition provided on the oxidizing agent. The chemical barrier composition includes a hydrocarbon component having about 10 to about 85 carbon atoms, and wherein the chemical barrier composition is provided as a liquid at 25° C. A solid detergent composition is provided including the treated oxidizing agent. Methods for manufacturing are provided.
Claims39
A treated oxidizing agent comprising:
- (a) an oxidizing agent that is solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure;
- (b) a chemical barrier composition provided on the oxidizing agent, the chemical barrier composition comprising a hydrocarbon component having about 10 to about 85 carbon atoms, and wherein the chemical barrier composition is provided as a liquid at 25° C.
A solid detergent composition comprising:
- (a) at least about 0.1 wt. % of a treated oxidizing agent, wherein the treated oxidizing agent comprises:
- (i) an oxidizing agent that is solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure;
- and
- (ii) a chemical barrier composition provided on the oxidizing agent, the chemical barrier composition comprising a hydrocarbon component having about 10 and about 85 carbon atoms, and wherein the chemical barrier composition is provided as a liquid at 25° C.;
- and
- (b) at least about 0.1 wt. % of at least one of a surfactant and an alkalinity source.
A method for producing a treated oxidizing agent comprising:
- (a) mixing an oxidizing agent and a chemical barrier composition at weight ratio of the chemical barrier composition to the oxidizing agent of at least about 1:9, wherein:
- (i) the oxidizing agent is a solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure;
- and
- (ii) the chemical barrier composition comprises a hydrocarbon component having 10 to about 85 carbon atoms and wherein the chemical barrier composition is provided as a liquid at 25° C.
A method for producing a detergent composition comprising:
- (a) mixing at least about 0.1 wt. % of a treated oxidizing agent and at least about 0.1 wt. % of at least one of a surfactant and an alkalinity source, wherein the treated oxidizing agent comprises a result of mixing:
- (i) an oxidizing agent that is solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure;
- and
- (ii) a chemical barrier composition comprising a hydrocarbon component having about 10 to about 85 carbon atoms, and wherein the chemical barrier composition is provided as a liquid at 25° C.
