ABSTRACT

Liquids The move to concentrated liquids which began two years ago has not led to a widespread incorporation of active oxygen. Nonaqueous media would certainly help in stabilizing bleaching agents, but apart from one exception in the United Kingdom, where a nonaqueous liquid detergent with perborate monohydrate sold under private label, this technology has not found any imitators. Perhaps the reason for the low acceptance is that all bleach-containing detergents are formulated with an activator. Because of stability problems, such a formulation-even nonaqueous-does not as yet appear technically feasible.
