MANGANESE CARBOXYLATES FOR PEROXYGEN ACTIVATION

摘要

The efficacy of peroxy compounds such as hydrogen peroxide in bleaching compositions and the like may be enhanced by the presence of manganese carboxylates containing branched chain carboxylate and/or tartrate groups. The invention relates to the activation of peroxy compounds using particular types of manganese carboxylates so as to render such compounds more effective in bleaching stains from substrate surfaces and other such applications.
