Abstract
Abstract A process of removing soil and/or stains from fabrics by immersing the fabrics in a peroxygen bleach bath containing as a peroxygen activator an organophosphorus azide of the formulae: RR.sub.1 P(O)N.sub.3 and ROR.sub.1 OP (O)N.sub.3 wherein R and R 1 are each selected from the class consisting of phenyl and alkyl radicals. Also described are dry blend compositions containing the bleach bath components.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A process for the low temperature bleaching of stained or soiled fabrics which comprises treating them with an aqueous peroxygen bleaching solution having a pH of about 6 to about 12 and containing as a peroxygen activator therefor, an effective amount of an organophosphorus azide having the formulae: RR.sub.1 P(O)N.sub.3 and ROR.sub.1 OP(O)N.sub.3 wherein R and R 1 are each selected from the group consisting of phenyl radicals and alkyl radicals of to 18 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A process for the low temperature bleaching of stained or soiled fabrics which comprises treating them with an aqueous peroxygen bleaching solution having a pH of about 6 to about 12 and containing as a peroxygen activator therefor, an effective amount of an organophosphorus azide having the formulae: RR.sub.1 P(O)N.sub.3 and ROR.sub.1 OP(O)N.sub.3 wherein R and R 1 are each selected from the group consisting of phenyl radicals and alkyl radicals of to 18 carbon atoms.
