This invention relates to detergent compositions that clean well and at the same time have a softening effect on textiles and fabrics.
Detergent compositions for simultaneously cleaning and softening fabrics are known in the art and various proposals have been made to formulate such detergent compositions.
Since the most commonly known commercially available organic textile-softening agents are cationic materials, numerous proposals have been made to incorporate a cationic fabric softener in a normally anionic surfactant-based detergent composition. However, the interference--inhibition--from anionic and cationic surface-active agents is known to constitute a major obstacle to the realisation of the simultaneous use of cationic and anionic surface-active agents. The reason for this interference or inhibition is that cationic materials are reactive towards the anionic surfactants present in conventional laundry detergents. If both types of oppositely charged materials are formulated in a single product, they tend to interact on addition to a wash liquor, forming insoluble inactive complexes. Obviously, much effort has been made in trying to overcome this problem, e.g. by the addition of compatibilising or solubilising compounds as described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,886,075 and 3,954,632, and French Pat. No. 7424119, none of which has resulted in a fully satisfactory product.
An alternative approach has been to incorporate one of the reactant materials in a form that inhibits its contact with the other in the wash liquor, and examples of formulations of this type are taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,936,537 and 3,644,203. The performance of these compositions is, however, sensitive to the washing conditions that are employed. In an attempt to avoid the reactivity problem altogether, nonionic surfactants have been proposed in place of the conventional anionic surfactants, and compositions of this type are described in e.g. British Patent Specification 1,079,388 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,607,763. However, it has been found that levels of nonionic surfactant sufficient to provide good cleaning impair the softening of the cationic softener.
Later proposals to provide a fabric-softening effect in laundry detergent compositions have been directed to the use of alternative fabric-softening materials which are non-cationic in nature, e.g. certain long-chain water-insoluble tertiary amines that are nonionic in character at the wash liquor pH existing when a conventional laundry detergent is used, as described in British Patent Specification 1,514,216 and European Patent Applications 0011340 and 0026528.
However, these alternative fabric-softening materials are in themselves less effective than the conventional fabric-softening compounds.
A further proposal has been to use cellulolytic enzymes, i.e. cellulase, as a harshness-reducing agent, as disclosed in UK Patent Application GB 2 075 028 A, UK Patent Application GB 2 095 275 A and UK Patent Application GB 2 094 827 A.
Cellulase has a disadvantage in that it only exerts a softening effect on cellulosic fibres. Furthermore, if used on its own, cellulase requires a relatively high level of incorporation for effective single wash softening performance.
Still, it is beyond any doubt that cationic compounds are the most effective of all fabric-softening agents known so far.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a textile-softening detergent composition containing a cationic fabric-softening compound having improved cleaning and softening effects on a wider range of natural and synthetic fibres, e.g. cotton, cotton/polyester mixtures, wool and synthetics such as acrylic etc.
It has now surprisingly been found that the above object can be achieved if the cationic fabric-softening compound is used in conjunction with a fungal cellulase as the essential fabric-softening ingredients.
According to the invention there is provided an improved alkaline detergent composition for the cleaning and softening of fabrics comprising:
(a) from 2 to 50% by weight of an anionic surfactant and/or a nonionic surfactant;
(b) from 0.5 to 15% by weight of a cationic fabric-softening compound; and
(c) from 0 to 80% by weight of a detergency builder, characterised in that it contains a fungal cellulase as component (d).
Preferably component (a) is an anionic surfactant or a mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants. Component (b) is preferably a di-tallowyl dimethyl ammonium halide, and component (d) is preferably an alkali cellulase having alkaline pH at its pH optimum.
In its broadest aspect the invention comprises three components, namely the anionic and/or nonionic surfactant component (a), the cationic fabric-softening compound (b), and the cellulase component (d).
(a) The Surfactant
A wide range of anionic surfactants can be used in the compositions of the present invention.
Suitable anionic non-soap surfactants are water-soluble salts of alkyl benzene sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, alkyl polyethoxy ether sulphates, paraffin sulphonates, alpha-olefin sulphonates, alpha-sulphocarboxylates and their esters, alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonates, fatty acid monoglyceride sulphates and sulphonates, alkyl phenol polyethoxy ether sulphates, 2-acyloxy-alkane-1-sulphonates, and beta-alkoxy alkane sulphonates. Soaps are also suitable anionic surfactants.
Especially preferred alkyl benzene sulphonates have about 9 to about 15 carbon atoms in a linear or branched alkyl chain, more especially about 11 to about 13 carbon atoms. Suitable alkyl sulphates have about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, more especially from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms. Suitable alkyl polyethoxy ether sulphates have about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and have an average of about 1 to about 12 --CH2 CH2 O-- groups per molecule, especially about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and an average of about 1 to about 6 --CH2 CH2 O-- groups per molecule.
Suitable paraffin sulphonates are essentially linear and contain from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms, more especially from about 14 to about 18 carbon atoms. Suitable alpha-olefin sulphonates have about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, more especially about 14 to about 16 carbon atoms; alpha-olefin sulphonates can be made by reaction with sulphur trioxide, followed by neutralization under conditions such that any sultones present are hydrolyzed to the corresponding hydroxy alkane sulphonates. Suitable alpha-sulphocarboxylates contain from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms; included herein are not only the salts of alpha-sulphonated fatty acids, but also their esters made from alcohols containing about 1 to about 14 carbon atoms.
Suitable alkyl glyceryl ether sulphates are ethers of alcohols having about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms, more especially those derived from coconut oil and tallow. Suitable alkyl phenol polyethoxy ether sulphates have about 8 to about 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and an average of about 1 to about 6 --CH2 CH2 O-- groups per molecule. Suitable 2-acyloxy-alkane-1-sulphonates contain from about 2 to about 9 carbon atoms in the acyl group and about 9 to about 23 carbon atoms in the alkane moiety. Suitable beta-alkyloxy alkane sulphonates contain about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms in the alkane moiety.
The alkyl chains of the foregoing non-soap anionic surfactants can be derived from natural sources such as coconut oil or tallow, or can be made synthetically as for example by using the Ziegler or Oxo processes. Water-solubility can be achieved by using alkali metal, ammonium or alkanol-ammonium cations; sodium is preferred. Mixtures of anionic surfactants are contemplated by this invention; a satisfactory mixture contains alkyl benzene sulphonate having 11-13 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and alkyl sulphate having 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
Suitable soaps contain about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, more especially about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms. Soaps can be made by direct saponification or natural fats and oils such as coconut oil, tallow and palm oil, or by the neutralization of free fatty acids obtained from either natural or synthetic sources. The soap cation can be alkali metal, ammonium or alkanol-ammonium; sodium is preferred.
The compositions may contain from 0% to 50% of anionic detergent, preferably from 4% to 30% and normally from 5% to 15% of anionic detergent.
Nonionic surfactants may be incorporated in amounts of up to 100% by weight of the total surfactant, but normally are present in amounts of less than 75%. By total surfactant is meant the sum of the anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant. Suitable nonionics are water-soluble ethoxylated materials of HLB 11.5-17.0 and include (but are not limited to) C10 -C20 primary and secondary alcohol ethoxylates and C6 -C10 alkylphenol ethoxylates. C14 -C18 linear primary alcohols condensed with from seven to thirty moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol are preferred, examples being C14 -C15 (EO)7, C16 -C18 (EO)25 and especially C16 -C18 (EO)11.
(b) The Cationic Fabric-Softening Compound
Among suitable cationic softeners are the conventional substantially water-insoluble quaternary ammonium compounds, and C10-25 alkyl imidazolinium salts.
Well-known species of substantially water-insoluble quaternary ammonium compounds have the formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 and R2 represent hydrocarbyl groups of from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms; R3 and R4 represent hydrocarbyl groups containing from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, X is any anion such as halide, a C2 -C22 carboxylate, or an alkyl- or arylsulph(on)ate. Examples of preferred anions include bromide, chloride, methyl sulphate, toluene-, xylene-, cumene- and benzene-sulphonate, benzoate, p-hydroxybenzoate, acetate and propionate. Preferred quaternary ammonium softeners are the di(C16 -C20 alkyl)di(C1 -C4 alkyl) ammonium salts such as ditallow dimethyl ammonium chloride; ditallow dimethyl ammonium methyl sulphate; dihexadecyl dimethy ammonium chloride; di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethyl ammonium chloride; dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride; dieicosyl dimethyl ammonium chloride; dieocosyl ammonium chloride; di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethyl ammonium methyl sulphate; dihexadecyl diethyl ammonium chloride; di(coconut alkyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride. Ditallow dimethyl ammonium chloride, di(hydrogenated tallow alkyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride and di(coconut alkyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride are preferred. Also suitable are the single long-chained quaternary ammonium compounds of the above formula wherein R1 is C10 to C22 alkyl or alkenyl, preferably C16 to C20 alkyl, and R2, R3 and R4 are lower alkyl groups, that is C1 to C4 alkyl groups, especially methyl, or aryl groups and X is as defined above. Optionally also two or all three of R2, R3 and R4 may together represent a heterocyclic ring. Some representative examples of such compounds are lauryl trimethyl ammonium bromide, lauryl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, myristyl dimethyl ethyl ammonium bromide, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, behenyl trimethyl ammonium methosulphate, oleyl methyl diethyl ammonium chloride, cetyl stearyl or oleyl pyridinium chloride, behenyl pyridinium bromide, stearyl methyl morpholinium chloride, stearyl or oleyl ethyl or propyl morpholinium chloride.
Yet other quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants which may be mentioned have the formula: ##STR2## wherein R1 and R2 are as defined above or R2 may be hydrogen and x and y are at least 1 and (x+y) is from 2 to 25. Examples are: ##STR3## Substances of this sort are sold commercially, for instance under the Trade Name "Ethoquads".
Another class of suitable cationic surfactants can be represented by C10 -C25 alkylimidazolinium salts. Preferred salts are those conforming to the formula: ##STR4## wherein R6 is a C1 -C4 alkyl radical, R5 is hydrogen or a C1 -C4 alkyl radical, R8 is a C10 -C25 alkyl radical and R7 is hydrogen or a C10 -C25 radical. X is a charge balancing ion which has the same meaning as X defined in the quaternary ammonium surfactant above.
A preferred member of this class, believed to be 1-methyl-2-tallowyl-3-(2-tallowamidoethyl)imidazolinium chloride, is sold under the Trade Name Varisoft 455 or 475 (Ashland Chemical Company), or Steinoquat M5040/H (Chemische Werke Rewo).
Among other suitable cationic surfactants may be mentioned the substituted polyamine salts of general formula: ##STR5## wherein R10 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having from about 10 to 24, preferably 12 to 20, especially from 16 to 18 carbon atoms, the groups R9 which may be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, a (C2 H4 O)p H, or a (C3 H6 O)q H, or a C1 -C3 alkyl group wherein p and q may each be 0 or a number such that (p+q) does not exceed 25, n is an integer from 2 to 6, preferably 3, m is from about 1 to 9, preferably from 1 to 4, most preferably 1 or 2, and X.sup.(-) represents one or more anions having total charge balancing that of the nitrogen atoms.
Preferred compounds of this class are, most preferred, N-tallow-N,N',N'-trimethyl-1,3-propylene diamine dichloride or di-methosulphate, commercially available under the Trade Names Lilamine 540 EO-3 (Lilachem), Dinoramax SH3, Inopol ODX3 (Pierrefitte-Auby), and N-tallow-N,N,N',N'-pentamethyl-1,3-propylene diamine dichloride, commercially available under the Trade Names Stabiran MS-3 (Pierrefitte-Auby); Duoquad (Armour Hess); Adogen 477 (Ashland Company). Also suitable is the substance sold as Dinormac (Pierrefitte-Auby) or Duomac (Armour Hess) believed to have the formula:
Tallowyl--N+ H2 --(CH2)3 --N+ H3, 2(OCOCH3)-
or the corresponding chloride. Herein Tallowyl represents predominantly C16 and C18 alkyl groups derived from tallow fatty acids.
It is highly desirable when one or more of R9 in these components is hydrogen, that the pH of the formulation be such that one or more of the nitrogen atoms is protonated.
Other suitable cationic softeners are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,076,632 issued Feb. 28, 1978. Some suitable commercially available substances are marketed under the following Trade Names:
Sopa (Pierrefitte-Auby)
Sopapa (Pierrefitte-Auby)
Lilamin LS33 (Lilachim)
Polyram L 200 (Pierrefitte-Auby)
Taflon--302A (Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co.).
Mixtures of two or more of these cationic softeners may be employed.
Preferred cationic softeners are ditallowyl dimethyl ammonium halides or methosulphate, and imidazolinium salts, e.g. Varisoft 455 or 475.
The compositions of the invention should contain from 0.5 to 15% by weight of the cationic fabric softener, preferably from 1.5 to 6%.
(d) The Cellulase
The cellulase usable in the present invention is a fungal cellulase having a pH optimum of between 5 and 11.5. It is, however, preferred to use fungal cellulases which have optimum activity at alkaline pH values, such as those described in UK Patent Application GB 2 075 028 A; UK Patent Appln GB 2 095 275 A and UK Patent Appln GB 2 094 826 A.
Examples of such alkaline cellulases are cellulases produced by a strain of Humicola insolens (Humicola grisea var. thermoidea), particularly the Humicola strain DSM 1800, and cellulases produced by a fungus of Bacillus N or a cellulase 212-producing fungus belonging to the genus Aeromonas.
The cellulase added to the composition of the invention may be in the form of a non-dusting granulate, e.g. "marumes" or "prills", or in the form of a liquid in which the cellulase is provided as a cellulase concentrate suspended in e.g. a nonionic surfactant or dissolved in an aqueous medium, having cellulase activity of at least 350 regular Cx cellulase activity units/gram, measured under the standard conditions as described in GB 2 075 028 A.
The amount of cellulase in the composition of the invention will, in general, be from about 0.1 to 10% by weight in whatever form. In terms of cellulase activity the use of cellulase in an amount corresponding to from 0.25 to 150 or higher regular Cx units/gram of the detergent composition is within the scope of the present invention. A preferred range of cellulase activity, however, is from 0.5 to 25 regular Cx units/gram of the detergent composition.
The detergent compositions of the present invention mat of course include, as optional ingredients, components that are usually found in laundry detergents.
These include zwitterionic surfactants, detergency builder salts, bleaching agents and organic precursors therefor, suds depression agents, soil-suspending and anti-redeposition agents, other enzymes, e.g. proteolytic and amylolytic enzymes, optical brighteners, colouring agents and perfumes.
Detergency builder salts are a preferred component (c) of the compositions of the invention and can be inorganic or organic in character. Non-limiting examples of suitable water-soluble, inorganic alkaline detergent builder salts include the alkali metal carbonates, borates, phosphates, polyphosphates, bicarbonates and silicates. Specific examples of such salts include the sodium and potassium tetraborates, bicarbonates, carbonates, triphosphates, pyrophosphates, pentapolyphosphates and nexamethaphosphates. Sulphates are usually also present.
Examples of suitable organic alkaline detergency builder salts are:
(1) water-soluble amino polyacetates, e.g. sodium and potassium ethylenediaminetetraacetates, nitrilotriacetates, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)nitrilodiacetates and diethylene triamine pentaacetates;
(2) water-soluble salts of phytic acid, e.g. sodium and potassium phytates;
(3) water-soluble polyphosphonates, including sodium, potassium and lithium salts of methylenediphosphonic acid and the like and aminopolymethylene phosphonates such as ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonate and diethylene triaminepentamethylene phosphate, and polyphosphonates described in UK Patent Application GB 38724/77.
(4) water-soluble polycarboxylates such as the salts of lactic acid, succinic acid, malonic acid, maleic acid, citric acid, carboxymethylsuccinic acid, 2-oxa-1,1,3-propane tricarboxylic acid, 1,1,2,2-ethane tetracarboxylic acid, mellitic acid and pyromellitic acid.
Mixtures of organic and/or inorganic builders can be used herein. One such mixture of builders is disclosed in Canadian Patent Specification 755 038, e.g. a ternary mixture of sodium tripolyphosphate, trisodium nitrilotriacetate and trisodium ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate.
Another type of detergency builder material useful in the present compositions and processes comprises a water-soluble material capable of forming a water-insoluble reaction product with water hardness cations preferably in combination with a crystallization seed which is capable of providing growth sites for said reaction product. Such "seeded builder" compositions are fully disclosed in British Patent Specification 1 424 406.
Preferred water-soluble builders are sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium silicate, and usually both are present. In particular, it is preferred that a substantial proportion, for instance from 3 to 15% by weight of the composition of sodium silicate (solids) of ratio (weight ratio SiO2 :Na2 O) from 1:1 to 3.5:1 be employed.
A further class of detergency builder materials useful in the present invention are insoluble sodium aluminosilicates, particularly those described in Belgian Patent Specification 814,874, issued Nov. 12, 1974. This patent specification discloses and claims detergent compositions containing sodium aluminosilicate of the formula:
Naz (AlO2)z (SiO2)y xH2 O
wherein z and y are integers equal to at least 6, the molar ratio of z to y is in the range of from 1.0:1 to about 0.5:1 and x is an integer from about 15 to about 264. A preferred material is Na12 (SiO2 AlO2)12 27H2 O. About 5% to 25% by weight of aluminosilicate may be used as a partial replacement for water-soluble builder salts, provided that sufficient water-soluble alkaline salts remain to provide the specified pH of the composition in aqueous solution.
The detergent builder salts are normally included in amounts of from 10% to 80% by weight of the composition, preferably from 20% to 70% and most usually from 30% to 60% by weight.
Bleaching agents useful in the compositions of the invention include sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate and other perhydrates at levels of from 5% to 35% by weight of the composition. Organic peroxy bleach precursors such as tetra acetyl ethylene diamine and tetra acetyl glycoluril can also be included and these and other precursors are disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2 744 642.
In compositions incorporating oxygen bleaches, bleach stabilisers are also preferred components, usually at levels of from 0.2% to 2% by weight of the composition. The stabilisers may be organic in nature, such as the previously mentioned aminopolyacetates and aminopolyphosphonates, or may be inorganic, such as magnesium silicate. In the latter case the material may be added to the formulation or formed in situ by the addition of a water-soluble magnesium salt to a slurried detergent mix containing an alkali metal silicate.
Suds-controlling agents are often present. These include suds-boosting or suds-stabilising agents such as mono- or diethanolamides of fatty acids. More often in modern detergent compositions, suds-depressing agents are required. Soaps, especially those having 18 carbon atoms, or the corresponding fatty acids, can act as effective suds depressors if included in the anionic surfactant component of the present compositions. Usually about 1% to about 4% of such soap is effective as a suds suppressor. Very suitable soaps, when suds suppression is a primary reason for their use, are those derived from Hyfac (Trade Name for hardened marine oil fatty acids, predominantly C18 to C22 acids available from the Humko Corporation).
However, non-soap suds suppressors are preferred in synthetic detergent-based compositions of the invention, since soap or fatty acid tends to give rise to a characteristic odour in these compositions.
Preferred suds suppressors comprise silicones. In particular there may be employed a particulate suds suppressor comprising silicone and silanated silica releasably enclosed in water-soluble or -dispersible substantially non-surface-active detergent impermeable carrier. Suds-depressing agents of this sort are disclosed in British Patent Specification 1 407 997. A very suitable granular (prilled) suds-depressing product comprises 7% silica/silicone (15% by weight silanated silica, 85% silicone, obtained from Messrs Dow Corning), 65% sodium tripolyphosphate, 25% tallow alcohol condensed with 25 molar proportions of ethylene oxide, and 3% moisture. The amount of silica/silicone suds-suppressor employed depends upon the degree of suds suppression desired, but it is often in the range of from 0.01% to 0.5% by weight of the detergent composition. Other suds suppressors which may be used are water-insoluble, preferably microcrystalline, waxes having a melting point in the range of from 35� to 125� C. and a saponification value of less than 100, as described in British Patent Specification 1 492 938.
Yet other suitable suds-suppressing systems are mixtures of hydrocarbon oil, a hydrocarbon wax and hydrophobic silica as described in European Patent Application No. 78 2000 035 and, especially, particulate suds-suppressing compositions comprising such mixtures, combined with an HLB in the range of from 14 to 19 and a compatibilising agent capable of forming inclusion compounds, such as urea. These particulate suds-suppressing compositions are described in European Patent Application 0 00 8830.
Soil-suspending agents are usually present at about 0.1 to 10%, such as water-soluble salts of carboxymethylcellulose, carboxyhydroxymethyl cellulose, polyethylene glycols of molecular weight of from about 400 to 10,000 and copolymers of methylvinylether and maleic anhydride or acid, available under the Trade Name Gantrez.
Proteolytic or amylolytic enzymes, especially proteolytic, and optical brighteners of anionic, cationic or nonionic types, especially the derivatives of sulphonated triazinyl diamino stilbene may be present.
Photoactivated bleaches such as the tri- and tetra-sulphonated derivatives of zinc phthalocyanine are also useful components of the present composition.
Colours, non-substantive, and perfumes, as required to improve the aesthetic acceptability of the product, are usually incorporated.
Throughout the description herein where sodium salts have been referred to, potassium, lithium or ammonium or amine salts may be used instead if their extra cost etc. are justified for special reasons.
The detergent compositions may be prepared in any way appropriate to their physical form, such as by dry-mixing the components, co-agglomerating them or dispersing them in a liquid carrier. However, a preferred physical form is a granule incorporating a detergency builder salt and this is most conveniently manufactured by spray-drying at least part of the composition. For the purpose of the following discussion, components of the composition that are normally added to a detergent crutcher mix and spray-dried are identified as (a), components which are applied in the liquid form by spray-on to other solid components are identified as (b) and components which are added as solids other than in the spray-dried portion are identified as (c).
Conventionally, the compositions are prepared by making up an aqueous slurry of the non-heat-sensitive components (a), comprising the anionic and/or nonionic surfactants, builder and filler salts together with any soil-suspending agents and optical brighteners, and spray-drying this slurry. The moisture content of the slurry is normally in the range of 28% to 36% and its temperature is conveniently in the range of 70� to 90� C. The spray-drying tower inlet temperatures are normally in the range of 300� to 360� C. and the resultant spray-dried granules have a moisture content of 8-12% by weight. An optional, but preferred, additional processing step is to cool the dried granules rapidly by means of cool air from a temperature of 90� C. to a temperature in the range of 25� to 35� C., in order to facilitate the further processing of the product. Solid heat-sensitive components (c), such as persalts and enzymes, are mixed with the spray-dried granules. Although the water-insoluble cationic component may be included in the slurry for spray-drying, it may degrade under certain processing conditions and adversely affect product quality. It is therefore preferred that the water-insoluble cationic material be added as a dry particulate solid to the spray-dried granules before or after other heat-sensitive solids have been dry-mixed with them.
If the cationic is applied as a melt, a liquid temperature of 5� to 30� C. in excess of the melting point can conveniently be used for the spray-on. When the cationic is a solid of rather high melting point, it may be necessary to blend it with a compatible lower melting substance so as to ensure that granules sprayed on therewith are sufficiently crisp, are free-flowing and do not cake on storage.
The invention is illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
A detergent powder of the following composition was prepared by spray-drying:
______________________________________Sodium linear C12 alkyl benzene sulphonate 5.5%C13 -C15 alcohol/11 ethylene oxide condensate 3.0%Sodium soap 2.0%Sodium triphosphate 30.0%Sodium silicate 5.0%Sodium sulphate 8.0%Water and minor ingredients 11.5%______________________________________
where the percentages quoted are based on the weight of the final product. To this spray-dried base powder was added 21% of sodium perborate tetrahydrate and 14% of sodium sulphate. This composition was used as a control. Further compositions were prepared which included a tertiary amine (Armeen�M2HT ex Akzo N.V.), cationic fabric softener (Ditallowyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) and fungal cellulase as set out below. These components were added to the spray-dried base powder granules and the level of post-dosed sodium sulphate in the base powder was reduced accordingly.

These compositions were then used to wash pre-harshened terry towelling and acrylic monitors. The product dosage was 5 g/l, the water hardness was 8� German Hardness and the pH of the wash liquor was approximately 9.3. A Miele�W406 TMT automatic washing machine was used on a 25� C. to 40� C. heat-up cycle, heating up at 2� C./min. The wash time was 35 minutes. After washing, the monitors were rinsed 3 times in tap water (1:5), line dried and then assessed for softness using a laboratory softness-measuring device. The results, expressed in relative harshness (%), were as set out in the following Table 1, the softness of the monitors washed once in the control formulation being taken as 100%. Hence, lower figures show better softening.

A comparison of the results shows that the use of a cationic fabric-softening compound and cellulase together of Example I gives a softening benefit which is greater than the use of each softening compound alone (Examples A, B and C) or the use of a combination of amine+cellulase (Example D).

The softening effects achieved after a single wash, 3 washes and 5 washes were assessed by four independent judges using a ranking difference method and the resulting scores converted to a percentage of the rinse conditioner delivery under the same conditions (higher figures showing better softening benefit).
The results were as set out in the following Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________Example No Single wash After 3 washes After 5 washes______________________________________A 34 52 33B -12 16 4C -2 13 -14II 57 61 75______________________________________
A comparison of the results shows that Example II, containing 4% cationic+0.8% cellulase, of the invention gives a softening benefit which is much greater than that of composition A using 4% cationic alone, of composition B using 0.8% cellulase alone, and composition C using 1.8% cellulase alone.

Following the release of KCPE results by Education Minister Hon. Mutula Kilonzo, a wave of emotions swept across the country's primary schools. The test is rigorous and examines the effort of pupils for an eight year academic period.
There were tears of joy and disillusionment immediately the results were announced. New Light Junior Academy Komarock went into jubilation after emerging number one nationally with a mean 413. Kirinyaga topped the county rankings by scoring a mean of 273 as Mandera tailed with 182.
Three pupils tied in position one countrywide after scooping 430 out of 500.They are Wachira Njomo, Boniface Mwaura, and Joy Kathure Kinoti. Boniface, who is shy, said he always led in his class and that never made him complacent despite not having a strong competitor. Kathure on the other hand hopes to join the prestigious Alliance High School and later on pursue Bachelor's in Engineering.

The Tank Driving Experience, Stirling
- Drive a tank that has previously served with the elite British Army
- At the helm, experience the power and precision of a 18 ton APC 432 Tank
- Learn how to drive these caterpillar-tracked vehicles under the supervision of the tank commander
This tank driving experience brings you face to face with some serious military metal. You'll be at the command of an ex-British army tank for a thrilling driving experience like no other!
At the start of the experience you'll get your field briefing before getting dressed in camouflage for the mission ahead. Venturing out onto the tank range you'll witness the sheer power and determination of this awe-inspiring machine.
In the pilot's seat, you'll learn to drive the tank across terrain best suited to the 432 APC tank, where it feels most at home! The course has been built to reflect the challenging terrain that the tank was built for. Driving through taxing water courses over steep inclines, expect to be at the helm for around 20 minutes each.
You will also get to experience riding in the crew compartment at the rear of the tank. Even as the passenger this is great fun as you experience riding in the tank. All in, expect to spend up to two hours on site and have a blast while you're there.
Cameras are a must and the viewing gallery is perfect for friends and family to watch and take photos.

Recalling the effervescent lounge of Margo Guryan and the early, breathy songs of Françoise Hardy, Michigan's Saturday Looks Good to Me has long chased the perfect-pop muse. Spawned in songwriter Fred Thomas's Ann Arbor basement as a recording project for a label that only released albums by imaginary bands, the group has certainly been prolific, putting out seven albums in as many years. Propelled by Thomas's proclivity for blending smooth yet smoky melodies with hypnotically measured rhythms, the outfit shares an orchestral sensibility with like-minded acts such as Red Pony Clock and Ladybug Transistor, crafting some of the most ambitious, inventive, jaunty indie music of the last decade. Guided by a breezy forward momentum and a joyful exuberance that evokes Kill the Moonlight-era Spoon, Saturday Looks Good to Me stirs elements of lounge, folk pop, psychedelia and a pinch of grit into its pristine pop confections with considerable aplomb.

text: The ceiling fixtures in your houses are arguably one of the most vital ones, as they may be generally employed by far the most regularly and serve as the greatest light source in a area. However, the range of lighting for ceilings seems to be unlimited. These pieces are accessible to all varieties of shapes, colors, and sizes, supplying you with an array of options. Lamps have been around for some time. They were symbolic of royalty as well as a distinct social class throughout the Roman era. The moguls used to adorn their courts with invaluable lamps, so as to impress persons because of their show of wealth. Custom light fixtures, then, used candles and kerosene, unlike those out there nowadays, as the light bulb wasn't invented till 1830. Street lighting are made use of to illuminate roadways, parking lots, yards, sidewalks, public meeting areas, signs, perform web-sites, buildings, and also the list proceeds. They deliver pedestrians, bikers, and drives with much better visibility as well as a a sense security and earn moving around simple. When electrical energy passes by means of mercury vapor inside a glass tube, the invisible light radiated interacts with all the coating in the glass and produces visible light that is certainly referred to as fluorescent light. All types of white light with fantastic to extremely good color rendition are the hallmark of fluorescent lamps. These lamps are pretty energy efficient, as well as some models also are adaptable and may integrate any existing normal electrical socket. Older florescent lamps give off an eerie glow. This function has, on the other hand, been enhanced upon, and also the newer versions emit a flattering glow. Many shops offer discount lamps of several well-known brands. Lighting fixtures to get a area need to be determined keeping in thoughts the activities that will be done within the room and also the objective from the lighting. Displays like functions of art etc., want concentrate lamps. Concentrate lamps are normally out there at discount lighting outlets. This really is mainly because the amount of pieces necessary inside a house is couple of. So odd pieces left more than from bigger stocks are supplied at discounts. Traditionally, churches have employed lighting styles that have scrollers with separate colors, that are mounted on each other to create white light. These may also be adjusted to generate diverse colors, aside from white. This sort of lighting fixture has numerous disadvantages. One particular these disadvantages would be the reality they will provide restricted choices regarding colors. Yet another one is that these fixtures are incredibly highly-priced to work. As a result of the many unique disadvantages the lighting system had, a lot of churches opted to switch with a significantly more updated kind of lighting fixture. With the option of new technology, they had been able to implement a much far more advanced form of lighting.

Lessons Learned from Years with Training
Top Advantages of Online Safety Training
It is through employee training that you can run an organization successfully. The internet has made this task easier since you can now offer training to employees who are scattered all over the country. So, if you have online safety training that you need to carry out, it is advisable to carry it out through online methods. Online safety training can offer the benefits highlighted in the text that follows.
Topping the list of online safety training's benefits is accessibility, a feature that is enabled by the way your employees can access training at any time and location. Even if some of your employees have travelled overseas, the different time zones present do not present hindrances since the course material is available on the internet. Even if these individuals miss certain lessons, they can access them later on.
It is possible to provide consistent or standardized training to your employees, which is something many companies are struggling with. The differences in training material arise due to varying time zones, locations, and trainers. To overcome such challenges, companies have turned to online safety training.
Online safety training will result in a 50 percent increment in productivity. A 30 percent increase in return on investment will result when you implement online safety training. The reasons for such desirable outcomes include the faster rate at which learners complete their training when compared to classroom training.
An organization that implements online safety training benefits in terms of reduced costs. Imagine not paying for conference rooms, car rentals, employee air travel, and accommodation anymore. Since online safety training has eliminated wastage, some people refer to it as green training. Now, it is even possible to carry out multiple training sessions in a short period. It is contrary to the past where you had to limit training sessions to keep costs down.
Since training is carried out online, tracking progress is very easy. That is made possible with customizable reporting and tracking tools that allow you to collect information that will help ascertain if your employees are receiving the training as originally planned.
Since the method is super convenient, it is also effective as a means of imparting information. Users can choose the time and place to receive training, and that ensures that they grasp as many concepts as possible. It is unlike in a classroom environment where the training is carried at the convenience of the organization but not the employees. Remember that most of them will be absent-minded, some could be asleep, and the rest could be distracted by various aspects of their environment. Learning will be me maximum with online safety training since employees will train when it is most convenient for them.

*** *** ***
Isio was finally able to take a breath when Funmi Lawal ended the phone call. It happened after Isio told the older woman. "I can tell his brother, Obinna for you.
The woman was quiet after that. She heard her scream for Biba. A frantic scream that sounded desperate. Then the call ended without any preambles.
"You have to ring his brother." Kanyin said after Isio explained how they thought Chib and Biba were siblings.
"I have to warn him this woman knows who they are now."
"Issy. You have to tell him how your friend nearly died because of his brother." Kanyin's voice rose. "I'm so done with that Chib. He is a monster. Telling Biba they are related just so he could break up with her, who does that?"
"I don't know how his brother copes with him."
"When you have finished talking about your Jay, you need to make the call. We know you love the guy, easy nau. Our friend needs us to think clearly."
"Okay. I will call him. Then we can go and see her, if you don't mind."
"Are you sure you are not going to miss your Jay too much?"
"Shut up Austin's wife. You think I have not seen the way you act around your hubby."
Obinna was calm on the phone. Even when she told him how angry the woman was. He was still on the way home and she wished she hadn't rung him whilst he was driving. She apologised for that and for revealing their identity, although it wasn't intentional.
"Sorry, Jay."
"You did good."
"I should have been careful."
"Babe, you did good, okay? This woman had a child with my father, it is good this incident will make us sit down and talk. What I don't understand is why my brother lied to Habiba. He knew they are not brother and sister."
"I don't know," she sighed. "Let me go now. I'm going to go shower and get ready…"
"Yeah? You are having a shower now?"
"Let me go." Kanyin was staring at her with a mischievous expression on her face. She had forgotten to take her phone off loudspeaker and the excitement in his voice when he mentioned shower couldn't have been missed. "We are going to go see Biba. I have to see her, Jay."
"I have to see her. Even If I have to beg her aunt."
"Let me ring my father. Then I will brief my mother and I will be with you shortly. We can all go and see her together."
The journey to Mayfair, an exclusive area in the West End of London was long and awkward. Obinna had turned up with a meek-looking Chib. Kanyin refused to sit with him in the back and even after Isio sat with her and he took the front seat, Kanyin would not stop making snide comments.
The house was still as beautiful as she thought it was when she first saw it. Hidden behind a grey-ash gate, an unusual sight in the UK, the high chimney was the first thing she saw. It was an impressive sight. A huge house with ten bedrooms. Biba had dragged her to the swimming pool on her first visit and the warm water was so enticing that Biba stripped down to her underwear and swam its length.
"You are rich," she had blurted to Biba that day.
"I'm not rich," her friend was unusually quiet.
"What do you call all these then?"
"I have like twenty brothers and sisters. Stepmothers and a lot of uncles and cousins. Those are the ones I know. There are more out there."
"By the time they have shared everything all I will have will be my father's slippers. Anyway sha, the only person that knows where my grandfather and father's properties are is…"
"Your aunt," Isio had concluded for her wondering where all the wealth came from. Biba's grandfather and father were popular politicians. Her father had started to appear more frequently on TV these days talking about what he called the cancers of modern politics in Nigeria, embezzlement and fraud in government.
Funmi Lawal did not attend to them like she expected. She did not lash out at Chibuzor. Instead, she welcomed the brothers as if they were her family. Meimunat, her daughter served them drinks. On closer inspection today, she saw the similarity between her and the Okadigbos. The broad shoulders and the high cheekbones.
Isio wanted to cry when she hugged Biba. Kanyin tried to help her up and it soon became obvious why she wouldn't get up to greet them. The bone angles on her back were razor sharp against the flimsy dress on her. Her collarbone showed as if someone had dug out the flesh in-between her neck and collarbone.
Biba shook her head when Meimunat offered her a glass of orange juice.
"You have to have it." Isio struggled to stay calm.
"I'm not thirsty."
"Pete needs you. He needs his mummy."
"Why did he do it?" Biba was looking at her but the question was directed at Chib. "What is so wrong with me that he had to get away from me. You thought I was your sister. It wasn't confirmed and you came, dumped it on me and walked away like it was my fault."
"Habiba, please let it go." Biba's aunty spoke and moved gracefully. "They could have easily thought you were my daughter. You look like me. We have the same surname."
Her skin was a glossy earthy colour. Almost as glossy as her hair that had been braided into medium length corn rolls. The sort of skin that she saw and knew belonged to someone who didn't have to experience the harsh heat or unpredictable economy in Nigeria. It was hard for her to imagine how she fought for the attention of a man that was already married.
"I'm sorry." Chib put his hands together and corked his neck in the direction of his brother. He turned back to her afterwards. "I was drunk that night. I don't even remember why I thought it was a good idea to say it. I didn't know it would affect you or my family like this." He tapped his head and grunted. "I didn't know."
Kanyin glanced at Isio and moved her head slightly. She understood what she was trying to say. They had all experienced enough and telling Biba that Chib knew that she wasn't his sister wouldn't benefit anyone.
"It is finished now," Biba's aunty said and then motioned to her daughter to come closer. "We are family. They are Meimu's brothers. We have to forgive him."
Obinna grinned. "You look so much like our sister, Meimu."
"Really? That's great."
"Yes. We have some family traits that you won't like though."
"Like what?"
"You have met the black sheep of the family."
Meimunat and her mother laughed. Biba's mouth curved slightly. She reached for her drink and drank it whilst Obinna talked about the rest of the family.
"So," Meimunat beamed in Isio's direction after a while. "Obinna, are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend or is it early days?"
He stared at his new sister.
"I see the way you keep looking at her."
"No," he shook his head. "She is not with me. We are not like that. I'm on my own at the moment."
Isio wished he would stop talking. She wished too that her friends would stop looking at her as if she was supposed to be hurt by his statement.
"Take me to my room, girls." Biba said. She addressed her aunty when they helped her up. "Meimu can talk to her brothers. I need to catch up with these girls. Is it okay if they stay tonight?"
"If they want to Habiba, of course they can."
In Biba's room, they had to wait for her to call back Damian. He had tracked her down after ringing her cousin and as Biba explained how worried he was when he brought their son to see her, Kanyin's mischievous look came back.
"Is it normal for an ex to care so much?"
"He is the father of my child," Biba explained as she connected the phone to the charger.
"Me thinks, he wants you back."
"Well, he can't have me. I have sworn off men forever."
"Why did you two break up anyway?"
"Race," Isio joined the conversation. "Chief does not want a man that is not Nigerian doing his daughter."
"Doing his daughter? The man has already done and done his daughter. He knocked her up and she's born pikin. Kini big deal?"
As the girls roared with laughter, she found herself almost joining them. She would have if Obinna denying their relationship did not keep coming back to her, interrupting her thoughts rudely. It was like a DVD that would not stop playing. And it occurred to her that he was right, that they had never discussed anything like that.
Meimunat came to the room and announced that Obinna wanted to talk to her outside.
"I'm staying the night." Isio announced at the front door. He was standing beside his car and although he seemed to be expecting her to come over to him, she didn't.
"Issy, please. Can you come over here? Let me explain."
She heard Chib snigger from inside the car and walked over to him. He led her to an unlit part of the compound where shady trees cut them off from the rest of the house. She moved away when he tried to hold her. He followed. She could hear his breath quicken as he wrapped his hands around her.
"Jay. I can't do this. You can't keep picking me and dropping me seconds later."
She was firm. Yet she couldn't stop him when he pinned her to the tree and took her lips with unexpected intensity. His hand tried to pull her closer, an impossible feat as there wasn't any room between them. Her lips parted wider for him as he took her lower lips between his own full ones. He was gentle now, teasing her with his tongue until she started to feel her knees wobble.
He was breathless when she pulled away.
"Issy, what the hell are you doing to me?"
"Jay, someone will see us."
"No, we are fine here." He kissed her hand. A gentle, intimate kiss. "I want to kiss your lips again."
"You can. Not here though."
"Come home with me."
It was too dark to see how serious his facial expression was.
"Take me on a date." It didn't sound like the way it did when Kanyin said it, tone half-serious. A woman's got to demand respect, she said. Why should we have to wait for a man to be ready. Like my stepmum says, it's a woman's world too.
"Okay. We will go somewhere tomorrow. As long as I can kiss you afterwards."
"We shall see."
"That sounds promising." He hugged her and grunted. "This is why I stay away from you. You drive me nuts."
"Is that why you denied me?"
"Issy sweetie…"
"I get it. You have been hurt before. But I'm not her."
"Can I kiss you again to apologise?"
"Let's go, your brother is waiting."
They held hands as they walked to the car. Chib was leaning on the car bonnet.
"Bro, you have a house. Inside the bush, not classy. Don't copy my style."
"Get in the car, Chibuzor." Obinna pulled her to himself and kissed her. "I will call you tomorrow. My brother, Ifeanyi is trying to patch things up with his wife in Munich. He is going to stopover in London on his way home. He will take my princess home to her mother. You and I can spend time together whilst she is on holiday in Nigeria."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Annabel had become really close to her mother, ignoring Isio except for whenever she wanted something from her. It was as if Annabel had replaced her with someone else and the only thing that had changed was the girl's relationship with her mother.
"I know you and Bell are struggling at the moment. It is because of me. I told you my daughter gets like this when I get close to any woman. This trip is good for her. Let's call it a bribe."
"Okay. Goodnight."
"Don't worry. Goodnight sweetie. Dream of me."
"Okay." She tried not to giggle or look away. He was holding her, gazing at her lips. They stayed like this. Unplugged from the compound and its big trees and the daffodils littering the paths. His brother, forgotten.
"I can't wait for tomorrow, sweetie." He said eventually.
"Shey, I should drive?" His brother asked as he got in the car. "I don't think you can drive like this James."
He ignored his brother, strapped on his belt and blew her a kiss.
She waited for his car to drive out of the compound and disappear down the street before going back in. Meimunat and her mother were watching a British soap on the big TV screen.
"Thanks for cheering up your friend," the older woman turned to her as she entered the house. "Meimu will bring you pyjamas and towels so you can get ready for bed soon."
"Thank you ma."
"Tell Habiba, Damian has called the house phone for her. He will be here in the morning with Pete."
Kanyin and Biba were sat side by side when she entered the room. Biba had tissues in one hand. She wondered how long it would take for her friend to recover from Chib's lies.
"Your aunt said Damian has called." She joined them on the king size bed. It was so big that to get to the wardrobe and the dresser, she guessed Biba would probably need to climb on the bed. "Cheer up, babe. I know Chib messed up big time. But at least this shows you, you have people that care for you. Your friends, your aunt and Damian. How many women can boast of a man like Damian who cares for the mother of his child like that. Time to move on."
"I can't move on." Biba's lips trembled. "I have just done a test. I'm pregnant with Chibuzor's child."

This is a great large tomato that I have grown for years. It is meaty with few seeds and this makes it great for salsas and salads. It adds great color to any dish. It is big enough to slice and cover an entire sandwich and it is good alone with just salt. The fruit is typically very round like a baseball and the color makes them stand out in the garden.
