  • Antistatic compositions and antistatic detergent compositions and articles
    Patent number: 5545342
    Abstract: Antistatic, fabric softening and soil release promoting compositions are disclosed which comprise nonionic detergent, soil release promoting agent of the PET-POET type, and a certain type of silicone polymer (designated Type X or Silicone X). Such compositions very preferably also include cationic fabric softener (CFS), polyacrylate, silicone glycol copolymer (SGC), and builder for the nonionic detergent, with adjuvants being optional.Also within the invention are compositions that comprise only some of the mentioned components, and such compositions may be employed as wash cycle additives to improve the properties of detergent compositions and of softergent compositions. Processes for manufacturing and using the invented compositions are also disclosed.

  • Laundry detergent compositions containing lipase and soil release polymer
    Patent number: 5496490
    Abstract: A particulate laundry detergent composition is provided having significantly improved oily soil removal activity. The composition comprises (a) from about 1 to 50%, by weight, of one or more detergent compounds selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic and amphoteric detergent compounds, and mixtures thereof; (b) a lipase enzyme in an amount effective for oily soil removal from stained fabric; and (c) a soil release polymer in an amount effective for oily soil removal from stained fabric. The laundry detergent compositions is characterized by its ability to remove a variety of oily soils from fabric to an extent greater than the additive soil removing effects measured with comparative compositions containing components (a) and (b), and components (a) and (c), respectively.

  • Fabric softening detergent composition and article comprising such composition
    Patent number: 4818421
    Abstract: A fabric softening detergent composition includes, as essential components thereof, nonionic detergent, builder for the nonionic detergent, fabric softening cationic compound and silicone glycol copolymer. The silicone glycol copolymer is one that has an HLB number in the range of 4 to 7, due to the presence in the molecule of a polyethoxy polypropoxy chain, and said copolymer surprisingly improves the fabric softening capability of the cationic compound. The nonionic detergent may be either a broad range ethoxylate (BRE) or a narrow range ethoxylate (NRE) and the builder may be of a phosphate or non-phosphate type, but non-phosphate detergent compositions based on NRE nonionic detergents are preferred.In a preferred embodiment of the invention a fabric softening detersive article, the fabric softening detergent composition, in particulate form, is present in pre-measured amount in a permeable fabric pouch.
