Abstract
Abstract A colored detergent composition comprising a sulfate- or sulfonate-type anionic organic surfactant, a coloring agent, and from 0.02 to 1 percent by weight, based on the weight of said surfactant, of butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxyanisole. The detergent composition possesses the property of reduced color fading.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A colored liquid detergent composition possessing improved color stability, consisting essentially of: from one to 30 percent by weight of anionic synthetic non-soap surfactant having a sulfate or sulfonate group in the molecule, from 0.0002 to 0.0005 percent by weight of a colorant of the coal-tar type approved for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, from 0.02 to 1.0 percent by weight, based on the weight of said anionic surfactant, of butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxyanisole, and the balance is water, optionally containing conventional additives for liquid detergents.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A colored liquid detergent composition possessing improved color stability, consisting essentially of: from one to 30 percent by weight of anionic synthetic non-soap surfactant having a sulfate or sulfonate group in the molecule, from 0.0002 to 0.0005 percent by weight of a colorant of the coal-tar type approved for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, from 0.02 to 1.0 percent by weight, based on the weight of said anionic surfactant, of butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxyanisole, and the balance is water, optionally containing conventional additives for liquid detergents.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
136 words
A colored liquid detergent as claimed in claim 1, in which said anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkylbenzenesulfonates having an alkyl group containing 8 to 16 carbon atoms on the average, monoalkyl sulfuric acid ester salts having 11 to 18 carbon atoms on the average, alpha-olefinsulfonates having 10 to 20 carbon atoms on the average, alkanesulfonates having 10 to 18 carbon atoms on the average, alkylpolyoxyethylene ether sulfuric acid ester salts having an alkyl group containing 8 to 21 carbon atoms and about 1 to 6 ethylene oxide units in the molecule and alkylphenyl-polyoxyethylene ether sulfuric acid ester salts having an alkyl group containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms and about 1 to 10 ethylene oxide units in the molecule, said alkyl groups being either linear or branched chain, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A colored liquid detergent composition as claimed in claim 1 containing 5 to 20 percent by weight of said anionic surfactant and about 100 ppm of butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxyanisole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A colored liquid detergent composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the amount of butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxy anisole is from 50 to 1000 ppm.
