Aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition comprising hypochlorite bleach and an iodate or iodide hypochlorite bleach stabilizer

摘要

The present invention relates to an aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition which have improved hypochlorite bleach stability. The detergent composition comprises hypochlorite bleach, a bleach stabilizer, inorganic builder salts, bleach-stable detergent and a thickener. Additionally, the composition provides improved bleach storage stability and its improved hypochlorite bleach functionality. The stabilizer can be a water soluble iodate in an amount sufficient to provide a mole ratio of iodate to available chlorine of 0.08 to 1.67. Alternatively, the stabilizer can be a water soluble iodide/iodine mixture in an iodide to iodine mole ratio of 2:1 to 1:2 present in an amount sufficient to provide a mole ratio of iodide to available chlorine of 0.008 to 0.167.
