Further aspects of the invention are formulations comprising such metal complex compounds, novel metal complex compounds and novel ligands. The metal complex compounds are used especially for enhancing the action of peroxides, for example in the treatment of textile material, without at the same time causing any appreciable damage to fibers and dyeings. There is also no appreciable damage to fibers and dyeings if these metal complexes are used in combination with an enzyme or a mixture of enzymes.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: BASF SE LudwigshafenInventors: Barbara Wagner, Hauke Rohwer, Marie-Josée Dubs, Nicole End, Menno Hazenkamp, Sophie Marquais-Bienewald

Patent number: 7893014Abstract: A fabric treatment composition that includes at least one zeta potential modifier and a hydrophobic agent with a melting point or glass transition temperature below 100° C. that imparts fabric protection benefits, including improved stain and soil resistance, oil repellency, water repellency, softness, wrinkle and damage resistance, and better handfeel to treated fabrics. Treatment compositions can be used as a pretreatment prior to washing, through soaking, or added to the treatment liquor, that is either the wash or rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine, to first provide and then maintain and restore the beneficial fabric protection benefits imparted to the fabrics during a first treatment operation. The fabric treatment is complete when the fabric is cured by drying and/or heating.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Gregory van BuskirkInventors: Gregory n.a. van Buskirk, Victor M.
