Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) is an important compound of laundry detergents used as a substitute for “active oxygen” bleaching agents. While commonly “active oxygen” agents work by liberating the hydrogen peroxide during the washing process, this consequence is only possible below 60 °C (140 °F) temperatures. TAED and its capacity to make the peroxyacetic acid allow effective bleaching and cleaning during the washing process at lower temperature. TAED has no irritating side effects on eyes, skin or any other part of human body. It also does not give any sign of skin sensation as a result of prolonged exposure, for instance hand wash
