Independent Claim
83 words
An aqueous liquid bleaching composition having a pH of from 1 to 6.5, comprising from 1 to 40% by weight of a solid, particulate, substantially water-insoluble organic peroxy acid stably suspended in a surfactant structured liquid comprising from 2 to 50% by weight of a surfactant, from 1.5 to 30% by weight of an electrolyte and the balance water, said bleaching composition having a viscosity of from 0.05 to 20 PaS measured at a shear rate of 21 sec. -1 at 25° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An aqueous liquid bleaching composition having a pH of from 1 to 6.5, comprising from 1 to 40% by weight of a solid, particulate, substantially water-insoluble organic peroxy acid stably suspended in a surfactant structured liquid comprising from 2 to 50% by weight of a surfactant, from 1.5 to 30% by weight of an electrolyte and the balance water, said bleaching composition having a viscosity of from 0.05 to 20 PaS measured at a shear rate of 21 sec. -1 at 25° C.
