Claims
- 1. A method of making a granulate composition for decolorizing or bleaching hair, said method consisting of the steps of:
- a) preparing a powdery mixture consisting of from 30 to 65% by weight of at least one inorganic persulfate, from 1 to 20% by weight of a binding agent, said binding agent being selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene glycols having molecular weights from 200 to 10000, from 15 to 45% by weight of at least one salt selected from the group consisting of alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal silicates; and alkaline earth metal carbonates, from 0.1 to 3 percent by weight of a chelating agent, and at least one auxiliary and additive substance selected from the group consisting of perfume oils, hair dyes, amphoteric surface-active substances, anionic surface-active substances, cationic surface-active substances, nonionic surface-active substances and water-soluble thickeners;
- b) after the preparing of the powdery mixture, spraying an alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol and mixtures thereof into the powdery mixture to form a moistened mixture;
- c) granulating the moistened mixture formed in the spraying of step b) in a granulating apparatus to form a moist granulate; and
- d) after the granulating of step c), drying the moist granulate to remove said alcohol and to form the granulate composition, wherein a weight ratio of said powdery mixture to said alcohol in the moistened mixture formed in step b) is from 13:1 to 4:1.
- 2. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein said granulate composition is made in 10 to 60 minutes.
- 3. Composition for decolorizing or bleaching hair made by mixing an aqueous hydrogen peroxide preparation containing from 4 to 18 percent by weight hydrogen peroxide and a granulate composition; said granulate composition being made by a method consisting of preparing a powdery mixture consisting of from 30 to 65% by weight of at least one inorganic persulfate, from 1 to 20% by weight of a binding agent, said binding agent being selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene glycols having molecular weights from 200 to 10000, from 15 to 45% by weight of at least one salt selected from the group consisting of alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal silicates, and alkaline earth metal carbonates, from 0.1 to 3 percent by weight of a chelating agent, and at least one auxiliary and additive substance selected from the group consisting of perfume oils, hair dyes, amphoteric surface-active substances, anionic surface-active substances, cationic surface-active substances, nonionic surface-active substances and water-soluble thickeners; after making the powdery mixture, spraying an alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol and mixtures thereof into the powdery mixture to form a moistened mixture; granulating the moistened mixture formed in the spraying in a granulating apparatus to form a moist granulate; and after the granulating, drying the moist granulate to remove said alcohol and to form the granulate composition, wherein a weight ratio of said powdery mixture to said alcohol is from 13:1 to 4:1 in the moistened mixture and wherein said granulate composition and said hydrogen peroxide preparation are mixed in a weight ratio of said granulate compositing to said hydrogen peroxide preparation of 1:1 to 1:3.
- 4. The method as defined in claim 3, wherein said at least one inorganic persulfate is selected from the group consisting of sodium persulfate, potassium persulfate and ammonium persulfate.
- 5. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein said at least one salt is selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium silicate.
- 6. The composition as defined in claim 3, wherein said at least one salt is selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium silicate.
