Patent number: 11739286Abstract: The invention provides a polymer providing soil release properties (also termed a “soil release polymer” or SRP) when incorporated in a laundry detergent composition, the polymer comprising a capped polyoxyalkylene end block connected to a polyester segment; the polyester segment comprising alternating —B1-A-B2— and —R— units; in which B1 and B2 are each independently selected from —OC(O)— and —C(O)O— groups; A is a 2,5-furanylene ring and R is a divalent alkylene radical. The polymer provides good compatibility, stability and cleaning performance when incorporated into a laundry detergent composition, preferably a liquid laundry detergent composition, comprising one or more detersive surfactants.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Andrew David Green, Alyn James Parry, Susanne Henning Rogers

Patent number: 7214247Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polymers comprising a block copolymer containing at least one group A and at least one group B in which each group A is a polymeric block built up from an ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer and each group B is a polymeric block built up from an alkylene oxide, alkylene glycol or cyclic ether monomer or a mixture thereof for promoting soil release during laundering of a textile fabric and processes for their preparation. Laundry cleaning compositions comprising such polymers, a method of promoting soil release during laundering of a textile fabric and the use of such polymers in the manufacture of a laundry cleaning composition for effecting soil release from a laundry item form other aspects of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2002Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, Division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Michael Douglas Eason, Ezat Khoshdel, Susanne Henning Rogers, Michael Stephen White
