Abstract: A granular laundry detergent composition is described comprising (a) from about 1 to 60% by weight of an anionic surfactant consisting essentially of a water-soluble salt of an alkyl benzene sulfonate; and (b) an effective amount of a water-soluble triblock copolymer surfactant comprising groups of polyethylene oxide (EO) and polypropylene (PO) such as a PO/EO/PO type copolymer having a molecular weight in the range of from about 1,000 to about 15,000. A method of washing laundry with the laundry composition of the invention is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thickened fabric conditioners, which fabric conditioners contain a particular polymeric thickener, which is obtained by polymerizing from 5 to 100 mole percent of a cationic vinyl addition monomer, from 0 to 95 mole percent of acrylamide, and from 70 to 300 ppm of a difunctional vinyl addition monomer cross-linking agent. As compared to such compositions comprising a similar product but obtained from a polymerization reaction using between 5 and 45 ppm cross-linking agent considerable advantages are obtained. Especially, the delivery of fragrance present in the softening composition is more efficiently carried over to the fabrics to be treated.

Abstract: Organic liquids can be very effectively gelled by using in combination with an amine neutralized anionic polymer an auxiliary rheological additive. The auxiliary rheological additive is a substance which increases the linearity of the anionic polymer and its thixotropic properties. Suitable auxiliary rheological additives are amphoteric oxides and/or fatty acids and/or fatty acid salts. The organic liquids that can be effectively gelled are organic solvents which include fuels such as hydrocarbons and alcohols.

Abstract: Super-concentrated liquid rinse cycle fabric softeners are provided which contain more than 35%, by weight, of a fabric softening system based on an amidoamine fabric softener, such as bis(tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine and a quaternary diester fabric softener, such as N-methyl, N,N,N-triethanolamine ditallow ester quaternary ammonium salt. A fatty alcohol ethoxylate surfactant and a polyethylene glycol polymer or a polyethylene glycol alkyl ether polymer are integral components of the liquid composition. The super-concentrated compositions may be used at low levels or may be further diluted prior to use.

Abstract: The pourability and softening performance of amidoamine fabric softeners, such as bis(tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine) is improved by blending with a quaternary diester fabric softener, such as N-methyl, N,N,N-triethanolamine ditallow ester quaternary ammonium salt. The amidoamine fabric softener includes at least 5% by weight of unsaturated higher alkyl groups. The compositions are concentrated with amounts of active softener compounds in excess of 25% by weight and, as such, may be used at low levels or maybe further diluted prior to use.

Abstract: The pourability and softening performance of amidoamine fabric softeners, such as bis(hydrogenated tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine) is improved by incorporating certain cyclic imidazolinium compounds such as, 1-methyl-2-nortallow-1(2-tallow amidoethyl) imidazolinium methosulfate. The compositions may be highly concentrated for use at low levels or for further dilution prior to use.

Abstract: Automatic dishwasher detergent composition is formulated as a linear viscoelastic, pseudoplastic, gel-like aqueous product of exceptionally good physical stability, low bottle residue, low cup leakage, and improved cleaning performance, Linear viscoelasticity and pseudoplastic behavior is attributed by incorporation of cross-linked high molecular weight polyacrylic acid type thickener. Potassium to sodium weight ratios of at least 1/1 minimize amount of undissolved solid particles to further contribute to stability and pourability. Control of incorporated air bubbles functions to provide the product with a bulk density of about 1.28 to 1.40 g/cc which roughly corresponds to the density of the liquid phase. Stearic acid or other fatty acid or salt further improve physical stability.
