Bleaching and bluing compositions and method

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Liquid bleaching and coloring compositions are provided in which a polymeric matrix stably suspends pigment particles. A preferred composition includes an aqueous solution having sodium hypochlorite in an amount of from about 3.5 wt.% to about 6.2 wt.% an anionic or nonionic surfactant in an amount of from about 0.02 wt.% to about 5 wt.%, a polymer in an amount of from about 0.4 wt.% to about 0.6 wt.% and, ultramarine blue particles in an amount of from about 0.1 wt.% to 0.2 wt.%, the ultramarine blue particles being stably suspended and dispersed in the aqueous solution via the polymer.
