Stabilized active halogen-containing detergent compositions and methods

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, A detergent composition containing a stabilized active halogen source is disclosed. An active halogen source, such as a hypochlorite in, aqueous solution, is stabilized by combining it with known anhydrous or partially anhydrous builders as, well as fillers, defoamers, polyelectrolytes and, hydroxides to form a solid detergent composition. Preferably the aqueous solution of the active halogen source is first combined with at least one sulfonamide. It is found that inclusion of the sulfonamide further improves stability particularly, at higher temperatures and permits the active halogen source to be stabilized as a slurry. The destaining activity of the halogen …
