  2. Bleach activator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach_activator

    Bleach activation is also known as perhydrolysis. Persalts are inorganic salts that are used as hydrogen peroxide carriers (examples include sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate). Persalts and bleach activators are included together in powder laundry detergents that contain bleach. In the wash, both compounds dissolve in the water.

  3. Sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nonanoyloxybenzenes...

    Compared to TAED, which is the predominant bleach activator used in Europe, NOBS is efficient at much lower temperatures. At 20 °C NOBS is 100 times more soluble than TAED in water. [ 5 ] When attacked by the perhydroxyl anion (from hydrogen peroxide), NOBS forms peroxynonanoic acid (a peroxy acid ) and releases the leaving group sodium 4 ...

  4. Tetraacetylethylenediamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraacetylethylenediamine

    These compounds release hydrogen peroxide during the wash cycle, but the release of hydrogen peroxide is low when these compounds are used in temperatures below 45 °C (113 °F). TAED and hydrogen peroxide react to form peroxyacetic acid , a more efficient bleach, allowing lower temperature wash cycles, around 40 °C (104 °F).

  5. Benzoyl peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoyl_peroxide

    Benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizer, which is principally used in the production of polymers. [5] Benzoyl peroxide is mainly used in production of plastics [5] [6] and for bleaching flour, hair, plastics and textiles. [7] [8] As a bleach, it has been used as a medication and a water disinfectant. [6] [8]

  6. Sodium perborate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_perborate

    It is a less aggressive bleach than sodium hypochlorite and other chlorine-based bleaches, causing less degradation to dyes and textiles. Sodium perborate releases oxygen rapidly at temperatures greater than 60 °C. Addition of the activator, typically tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), makes it active at lower temperatures (40–60 °C).

  7. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  8. Sodium persulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_persulfate

    The standard redox potential of sodium persulfate into hydrogen sulfate is 2.1 V, which is higher than that of hydrogen peroxide (1.8 V) but lower than ozone (2.2 V). [4] The sulfate radical formed in situ has a standard electrode potential of 2.7 V.

  9. Peroxide-based bleach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxide-based_bleach

    A peroxide-based bleach or simply peroxide bleach is any bleach product that is based on the peroxide chemical group, namely two oxygen atoms connected by a single bond, (–O–O–). This bond is fairly weak and is often broken in chemical reactions of peroxides, giving rise to very reactive oxygen species, which are the active agents of the ...
