Alkaline isotropic liquid detergent with peroxide

摘要

Concentrated aqueous alkaline isotropic liquid detergent composition comprising a mixture of nonionic surfactant and anionic surfactant, together with a hydrotrope and dissolved hydrogen peroxide. The formulation comprises greater than 40 % total surfactant when nonionic rich or greater than 30 % total surfactant when anionic rich. Anionic rich compositions may contain builder or be unbuilt. The compositions are preferably substantially free from ethanol or other C1-4 monohydric alcohols to reduce the explosion risk from a mixture of low flashpoint alcohol and peroxide. The disclosed compositions are suitable for use as laundry detergents and possess the advantage of reduced pH drift while maintaining high peroxide levels over a period of time.
