  • Patent number: 8263542
    Abstract: Laundry detergent compositions that provide soil release benefits to all fabric comprising an organophosphorus soil release agents and optional non-cotton secondary soil release agents. The present invention further relates to a method for providing soil release benefits to cotton fabric by contacting cotton articles with a water soluble and/or dispersible organophosphorus material. The contacting can be during washing or by pretreating by applying the composition directly to stains or by presoaking the clothing in the composition prior to washing. The present invention further relates to providing soil release benefits to all fabric in the laundry wash load in the presence of a bleaching agent.

  • Publication number: 20110223125
    Abstract: Composition including freeze thaw stability polymer such as a copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least about 30,000 grams per mole, a blend of a first polymer and a second polymer, a crosslinked alkali swellable acrylate copolymer, or at least one polymerizable reactive alkoxylated acrylate monomer. The copolymer has one or more first monomeric units and one or more second monomeric units. The one or more first monomeric units each independently including at least one bicycloheptyl-polyether, bicycloheptenyl-polyether or branched (C5-C50)alkyl-polyether group per monomeric unit. The bicycloheptyl-polyether or bicycloheptenyl-polyether group may optionally be substituted on one or more ring carbon atoms by one or two (C1-C6)alkyl groups per carbon atom. The one or more second monomeric units each independently including at least one pendant linear or branched (C5-C50)alkyl-polyether group per monomeric unit.
