The Syrian detergent companies used to add high percentage of perborate
salt in laundry detergents formulation to achieve best bleaching and cleaning
results. And usually the bleach activator which transforms the peroxides into
more effective mate
rials, was added to the formulation in non specified doses.
The studies have been made of the effect of the bleach activator -TAED on
the perborates salt show the possibility to reduce the amount of the used
perborates by controlling the - Perborates / TAED percentage in the detergent
formulation .
The released active oxygen depends on the ambiant temperature where
weak activity where detected when temperature exceeds ٦٠ celsius. This study
shows the role of the detergent formulation on the bleach activator where it
releases the active oxygen in a higher percentage when monohydrate sodium
perborate is used, and no effects were detected on the tensile strength of the
used fabric.
