  • Patent number: 10669380
    Abstract: The present invention relates to amphiphilic star-like polyether. The core molecule is an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, which is further alkoxylated, first with ethylene oxide or combinations of ethylene oxide and C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, and/or glycidol, and then with a C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, or combination of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, then optionally anionically modified. The resulting amphiphilic star-like polyether thus has an inner core based on an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, an inner shell predominantly containing polyethylene oxide units, the inner shell comprising at least 3 ethylene oxide units and an outer shell predominantly containing polypropylene oxide units, the outer shell comprising at least 3 propylene oxide units. They optionally contain anionic groups instead of hydroxyl groups on the periphery of the macromolecule.

  • Publication number: 20140349906
    Abstract: The color preservation of detergents and cleaners during their use for the washing or cleaning of colored textiles may be improved through the use of fiber-like polyamides in a washing composition. Color transfer inhibition arises through the use of water-insoluble polyamides when these are present in the form of fibers with a small fiber diameter. This invention relates to fibers, compositions and methods relating to inhibition of color transfer in the washing or cleaning of colored textiles.
