Abstract
Abstract A pourable liquid detergent composition, particularly one containing hypochlorite, comprises an aqueous detergent solution having a yield stress value at 20° C. of from 1 to 21 dynes/cm 2 , and dispersed solid particles of a sparingly water-soluble alkaline buffer, particularly calcium or magnesium hydroxide, providing a pH within the range of from 10 to 13.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A pourable liquid detergent composition comprising an aqueous detergent solution having a yield stress value at 20° C. of from 1 to 21 dynes/cm 2 and a buffering amount of solid particles of an alkaline buffer having a solubility in water at 20° C. of 0.0005 to 0.2 parts by weight in 100 parts by weight of water and providing a pH within the range of from 10 to 13 dispersed in the solution and retained in the dispersed state by the yield value characterisitics of said solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A pourable liquid detergent composition comprising an aqueous detergent solution having a yield stress value at 20° C. of from 1 to 21 dynes/cm 2 and a buffering amount of solid particles of an alkaline buffer having a solubility in water at 20° C. of 0.0005 to 0.2 parts by weight in 100 parts by weight of water and providing a pH within the range of from 10 to 13 dispersed in the solution and retained in the dispersed state by the yield value characterisitics of said solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1, in which the buffer is calcium hydroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1, in which the buffer is magnesium hydroxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A composition according to claim 1, containing at least two detergent-active compounds that exhibit micellar interaction in the solution and are present in sufficient amount to provide a yield stress value.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition according to claim 1, containing dispersed particulate solid other than the buffer.
