  • the detergent composition of the present invention comprises a brightening agent such as an optical brightener, an optical brightening agent, a fluorescent brightening agent, an optical whitening agent, or a fluorescent whitening agent.
  • the brightening may include chemical compounds that absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet region (usually 340-370 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum, and re-emit light in the blue region (typically 420-470 nm).
  • Brightening agents are generally used to enhance the appearance of color of textiles, garments, and fabrics, causing a "whitening" effect, making materials look less yellow by increasing the overall amount of blue light reflected.
  • the brightening agent may be incorporated at levels of from about 0.01% to about 1.2%, by weight of the composition, into the detergent compositions described herein.
  • Brightening agents are also referred to as fluorescent whitening agents or fluorescent brightening agents provide optical compensation for the yellow cast in fabric substrates. With brightening agents yellowing is replaced by light emitted from brightening agents present in the area commensurate in scope with yellow color. The violet to blue light supplied by the brightening agents combines with other light reflected from the location to provide a substantially complete or enhanced bright white appearance. This additional light is produced by the brightener through fluorescence. Brightening agents absorb light in the ultraviolet range 275 through 400 nm and emit light in the ultraviolet blue spectrum 400 500 nm.
  • Fluorescent compounds belonging to the brightening agent family are typically aromatic or aromatic heterocyclic materials often containing condensed ring system.
  • An important feature of these compounds is the presence of an uninterrupted chain of conjugated double bonds associated with an aromatic ring. The number of such conjugated double bonds is dependent on the substituents as well as the planarity of the fluorescent part of the molecule.
  • Most brightener compounds are derivatives of stilbene or 4,4'-diamino stilbene, biphenyl, five membered heterocycles (triazoles, oxazoles, imidazoles, etc.) or six membered heterocycles (cumarins, naphthalamides, triazines, etc.).
  • Brightening agents for use in detergent compositions will depend upon a number of factors, such as the type of detergent, the nature of other components present in the detergent composition, the temperature of the wash water, the degree of agitation, and the ratio of the material washed to the tub size.
  • the brightener selection is also dependent upon the type of material to be cleaned, e.g., cottons, synthetics, etc. Since most laundry detergent products are used to clean a variety of fabrics, the detergent compositions should contain a mixture of brighteners that are effective for a variety of fabrics. It is of course necessary that the individual components of such a brightener mixture be compatible.
