Abstract: The intention was to improve the primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents in particular towards oily and/or greasy soiling This was achieved substantially by incorporating polymers containing styrenesulfonic acid.

Abstract: The primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents was to be improved, in particular with respect to oil- and/or fat-containing stains. This was achieved substantially by the incorporation of polymers having an aggregation parameter Xag where Xag>1 mN/m.

Abstract: The application describes the use of porous polyamide particles which have a volume-weighted median particle size of 1 to 50 ?m, an oil absorption capacity of at least 60 g/100 g, and a specific BET surface area (as specified in DIN 66131) of 1 to 20 m2/g, for removing greasy stains from textile surfaces in a laundry detergent or cleaning agent which is used in a laundry or cleaning process.

Abstract: The color protection properties of detergents when used to wash colored textiles is to be improved. This is substantially achieved in that polymers are used which are molecularly imprinted using dyes.

Abstract: It is possible to prevent or at least mitigate discoloration of plastics tableware during machine dishwashing by using amphiphilic block copolymers of -An-Bm- type, where A represents the hydrophilic monomer unit of the hydrophilic block An and B represents the hydrophobic monomer unit of the hydrophobic block Bm and a diene serves as monomer for the hydrophobic monomer unit B.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergency of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to soils containing oil and/or grease. This is substantially achieved by the incorporation of branched polymers having an aggregation parameter Xag, where Xag>1 mN/m.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergency of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to soils containing oil and/or grease. This is substantially achieved by the incorporation of polymers which can be obtained by the copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with ethylenically unsaturated compounds that have an amide function, said polymers having an aggregation parameter Xag, where Xag>1 mN/m.

Abstract: The application describes the use of porous polyamide particles which have—a volume-weighted median particle size of 1 to 50 ?m,—an oil absorption capacity of at least 60 g/100 g, and—a specific BET surface area (as specified in DIN 66131) of 1 to 20 m2/g, for removing greasy stains from textile surfaces in a laundry detergent or cleaning agent which is used in a laundry or cleaning process.

Abstract: The primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents was to be improved, in particular with respect to oil- and/or fat-containing stains. This was achieved substantially by the incorporation of polymers that derive from N,N-dimethylacrylamide.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of salts of branched fatty acids for catalyzing the reaction between star-shaped alcohols and isocyanates.

Abstract: The cleaning performance of detergents and cleansers when washing textiles or cleaning hard surfaces was to be improved. This was successful substantially due to the use of microfibrillar cellulose.

Abstract: The primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents was to be improved, in particular with respect to oil- and/or fat-containing stains. This was achieved substantially by the incorporation of polymers that derive from N,N-dimethylacrylamide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polyamidohydroxamates in washing and cleaning agents to improve cleaning performance, in particular with regard to stains containing polymerizable dyes.

Abstract: The primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents was to be improved, in particular with respect to oil- and/or fat-containing stains. This was achieved substantially by the incorporation of polymers having an aggregation parameter Xag where Xag>1 mN/m.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of salts of branched fatty acids for catalyzing the reaction between star-shaped alcohols and isocyanates.

Abstract: The present invention comprises polymers having optionally substituted aromatic residues in the polymer backbone and/or side chains, useful for the removal and/or dispersion of hydrophilic soils from textiles. The present invention also comprises a method for the removal of hydrophilic soils from textiles comprising the step of contacting the soil with a polymer that comprises optionally substituted aromatic residues in the backbone and/or side chains. The present inventive polymers and method are particularly useful in the context of washing or pretreatment agents that effectively remove red wine, fruit, vegetable, food product, or beverage stains from textiles.
