  • Publication number: 20080234165
    Abstract: Liquid laundry detergent compositions comprising anionic surfactant, fabric care agent, cationic deposition aid and performance booster are disclosed. The performance booster is chosen such that it will not react with the cationic deposition aid or fabric care agent to form a coacervate and/or to precipitate from solution. Such performance boosters may compensate for reduced cleaning efficacy of anionic surfactants and/or fabric care agents which interact with cationic deposition aids.

  • Patent number: 7335630
    Abstract: The invention is directed to aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for cleaning and imparting fabric care benefits to fabrics laundered therewith. Such compositions comprise (A) at least one detersive surfactant; (B) droplets of a silicone blend comprising a nitrogen-containing amino or ammonium functionalized polysiloxane and a nitrogen-free non-functionalized polysiloxane; and (C) at least one additional non-silicone laundry adjunct selected from detersive enzymes, dye transfer inhibiting agents, optical brighteners, suds suppressors and combinations thereof. The functionalized polysiloxane component of the silicone blend has a relatively low, i.e., less than 30 mol %, content of reactive/curable groups, a nitrogen content which ranges from 0.05% to 0.30% by weight and a viscosity which ranges from 0.00002 m2/s to 0.2 m2/s. The nitrogen-free non-functionalized polysiloxane material ranges in viscosity from 0.01 m2/sec to 2.0 m2/sec.
