Abstract: A process for the production of a flowable suspension containing phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid by combining phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in granular form with a liquid alcohol and grinding the combination to form a flowable suspension of the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcohol.

Abstract: A textile-care composition that advantageously combines colour preservation with care of fibres and especially greying-inhibiting action was to be developed. That was achieved by means of a composition for textile care, comprising at least one cellulase and at least one colour-fixing polymer containing imidazolidine units.

Abstract: A process for the production of a flowable suspension containing phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid by combining phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in granular form with a liquid alcohol and grinding the combination to form a flowable suspension of the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcohol.

Abstract: Liquid aqueous and nonaqueous textile-cleaning compositions containing particles of a fuzz-reducing component selected from the group consisting of: a) biological polymers, b) hydrogels, c) synthetic polymers and d) silicone emulsions, wherein not less than 90% of the particles of a fuzz-reducing components a), b) or c) have a particle size of less than 100 ?m, and wherein a fuzz-reducing component selected from d) has an average droplet size below 50 ?m.

Abstract: Low-concentration, highly viscous liquid detergents which maintain their degree of viscosity in storage in a range of climatic conditions, do not undergo any phase separation or agglomerate separation, and maintain their color under the influence of light. Liquid detergents with the desired properties contain 0.2 to 5 wt. % of a polyurethane or modified polyacrylate, 0.5 to 7 wt. % of a boron compound and 1 to 8 wt. % of a complexer.

Abstract: High-viscosity liquid detergents which, as a result of using a thickening system, are storage- and viscosity-stable under very diverse climatic conditions, do not undergo phase separation, and have color stability when exposed to light.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of mutated protease of the subtilisin type which carries at least one mutation in its amino acid sequence, leading to a reduced positive charge or an increased negative charge in the substrate binding region of the molecule, in liquid to gel-form laundry detergents. This protease shows increased stability above all in detergents such as these.

Abstract: An aqueous composition for the post-treatment of washed laundry containing 0.1 to 30% by weight of a water-insoluble quaternary ammonium compound, 0.1 to 50% by weight of a water-soluble quaternary ammonium compound, 0 to 5% by weight of a terpene compound, 0.1 to 20% by weight of a water-soluble acid, and 0.1 to 20% by weight of an emulsifier.

Abstract: Detergent mixtures containing(a) esterquats corresponding to formulae (I), (II) or (III): ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 CO is an acyl radical containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently of one another represent hydrogen or have the same meaning as R.sup.1 CO, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 independently of one another represent an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a (CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.q H group, m, n and p together are 0 or numbers of 1 to 12, q is a number of 1 to 12 and X stands for halide, alkyl sulfate or alkyl phosphate,(b) soil-repelling polymers containing ethylene terephthalate or polyethylene glycol terephthalate groups, and(c) from 1% to 50% by weight of alkyl or alkenyl sulfates, based on the weight of the esterquats.

Abstract: An article for treating washed laundry in a tumble dryer to provide the laundry with a pleasant, soft and full feel, and antistatic properties. The article is a flexible sheet-form substrate coated with a mixture of (a) a fatty component selected from a fatty acid mono-, di-, and tri-glyceride, a fatty acid and a fatty alcohol, and (b) a fatty acid ester of a monohydric alcohol.

Abstract: A liquid fabric treatment composition comprising aliphatic hydrocarbon, fatty acid, fatty acid salt, fatty acid ester, and a fatty acid condensate of a natural fat and hydroxyalkyl polyamine in aqueous medium. The composition provides washed fabrics treated therewith with softness and smoothness which, particularly, makes large articles of washing easier to iron by hand ironing or by rotary ironing.

Abstract: An after-wash textile treatment preparation containing natural and/or synthetic layer silicates as the softening component in combination with an acidic compound, a disintegrating agent, a filler or a carrier material and, optionally, a binder and fatty acid ester.
