  • Patent number: 5770558
    Abstract: The subject invention involves processes for making granular compositions comprising soil release polymers, the polymers comprising at least about 10% of substantially linear esters having a backbone; the esters being uncapped or end-capped on one or both ends of the backbone; the esters comprising in their backbones oxyalkyleneoxy units and hydrophobic aryldicarbonyl units; the esters having a molecular weight of from about 500 to about 20,000; the polymers if in solid state having the tendency when exposed to moisture to spontaneously rearrange from an amorphous form which is readily soluble in water to a crystalline form which is relatively insoluble in water; the process comprising the following steps:a) taking the soil release polymers, in which are dispersed from 0% to about 25% alkylaryl or alkyl sulfonate crystallization-reducing stabilizers, in molten state at a temperature of at least about 180.degree. C.
