Stabilized Body Care Products. Household Products, Textiles And Fabrics
The present invention relates to the use of selected hindered nitroxyl, hydroxylamine and hydroxylamine salt compounds and selected organic UV filters for the protection of body care products, personal care products, household products, fabric care products, institutional & industrial products, textiles and fabrics against the deleterious effects of light, heat and oxygen.
Since consumers today can choose from a large variety of Home & Personal Care products, producers need to communicate clearly how their brands are unique. Sophisticated products containing new fragrances and actives in many colorful formulations, displayed in transparent and translucent packaging are today very common.
It is mandatory for commercial success that the pleasant appearance, product efficacy and the fresh smell of a consumer product will last during its whole product life cycle even when exposed heavily to UV-light. This exposure can result in decomposition processes and strong color fading destroying the product appearance, active ingredients and fragrance.
Various stabilization techniques of clear package products by absorption of UV light are commonly used and well known. For example broad-band UV light stabilizers of the benzotriazole class enhance product's stability and shelf live due to their very good UV-A and UV-B absorption properties, compared to other absorbers such as benzophenones where mainly UV- B light is absorbed.
However, by just the absorption of UV light, not all potential degradation pathways are blocked.
Surprisingly it was found that an effective protection can be achieved with specific compounds selected from nitroxyl compounds, hindered hydroxylamine compounds and hindered hydroxylamine salt compounds and specific organic UV absorbers.
