  • Publication number: 20150275146
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150267147
    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.

  • Publication number: 20110136720
    Abstract: A washing or cleaning process includes the step of preparing a washing or cleaning solution that includes a washing or cleaning agent including a hydrolytic enzyme, and a component that, by interacting with the hydrolytic enzyme when the agent is used, affects a synergistic cleaning power. The component may be an anionic and/or polyanionic substance, a cationic and/or polycationic substance, and/or a substance that possesses hydroxyl and/or polyhydroxyl group(s). The process then includes the step of contacting a textile or a hard surface with the washing or cleaning solution.
