Abstract: An adjuvant composition comprising (A) a C1-C2carboxylic acid ester of a polyhydroxy compound containing from 2 to 20 hydroxyl groups and (B) an N-heterocyclic compound having a pKa, value of from 6 to 8 is storage-stable and suitable as an acid donor in the dyeing of polyamides.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions useful for maintaining the clean impression of a carpet (that is, its scent and appearance) over an extended time despite occurrences that might damage the carpet surface. The composition, which includes an antimicrobial agent, an enzyme inhibitor, and an odor-reacting compound, can be used by a consumer to remove contaminants from the carpet and to prevent the odor associated with the decomposition of future contamination. Specifically, the composition has been shown effective in neutralizing odors associated with the decomposition of organic materials (such as urine or food spills) by absorbing and/or removing the odor-generating source. A manufacturing treatment composition and methods for using are also disclosed.
Abstract: This invention concerns highly concentrated self-emulsifying preparations containing organopolysiloxanes and alkylammonium compounds and use thereof in aqueous systems on textile substrates. More particularly, this invention concerns preparations consisting of fully or partially quaternized amino-functional organopolysiloxanes, quaternary alkylammonium compounds, if appropriate an organic hydrotrope and if appropriate water.

Abstract: An adjuvant composition comprising (A) a C1-C2carboxylic acid ester of a polyhydroxy compound containing from 2 to 20 hydroxyl groups and (B) an N-heterocyclic compound having a pKa, value of from 6 to 8 is storage-stable and suitable as an acid donor in the dyeing of polyamides.
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of grafted polymers as greying inhibitors during the washing and aftertreatment of textile goods. Said polymers are obtained by polymerising A) 10 to 95 wt. % of grafted monomers containing, in relation to A), a) 1 to 99 wt. % of at least one vinyl ester, b) 1 to 99 wt. % of at least one N-vinyl lactam, c) 0 to 90 wt. % of at least one other monoethylenically unsaturated monomer which can be copolymerized with monomers a) and b), and d) 0 to 5 wt. % of at least one monomer having at least two ethylenically unsaturated, non-conjugated double bonds in the molecule, in the presence of A) 5 to 90 wt. % of at least one polymer B), chosen from polyalkylene oxides containing at least 3 units of a C2 to C4 alkylene oxide, and polytetrahydrofuranes containing at least 3 units of tetramethyl oxide units, and the mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for reacting a variety of protective entities to form covalent bonds with nylon, which entities can be applied directly in the dyebath with the dyes that are used to dye the nylon without blocking such dyes or interfering with their color yield. Such protective entities include stain-blockers, chlorine resist agents, fire retardants, UV absorbers, antimicrobial agents, fume fade protectors, soil-resist agents and anti-stats. According to this method, a protective entity is reacted with a moiety having the capability of forming a covalent bond with a nylon fiber to create a modified protective entity that is adapted to form a covalent bond with a nylon fiber. The modified protective entity is added to a dyebath containing one or more dyes selected from the group consisting of fiber reactive dyes, acid dyes, acid-premetalized dyes and disperse dyes. The dyebath is applied to nylon fiber at a pH within the range of about 0.5 to about 6.

Abstract: Improved methods for durable and regenerable antimicrobial finishing of fabrics are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the methods reduce the amount of free-formaldehyde released during processing by using a formaldehyde scavenger such as a polyol. The improved process imparts regenerable antimicrobial functions to cellulose articles including textiles, papers, wood pulp, and any cellulose-containing materials. The treated product acquire antimicrobial properties after being treated with a halogenated solution.

Abstract: Water-soluble, i.e. easily dispersible, amino-functional polyorganosiloxanes obtained by radical polymerization of vinyl compounds containing amino or ammonium groups onto polyorganosiloxanes which contain at least one mercapto group. They are suitable as textile finishing aids, surfactants and emulsifiers.
Abstract: There is disclosed a silicone water-based emulsion composition suitable for treating fibers to provide a non-yellowing and adherent coating thereupon, said composition comprising:
(A) an organopolysiloxane having at least 2 silicon-bonded groups selected from hydroxyl or alkoxy groups in each molecule;
(B) a microparticulate silica;
(C) a curing catalyst; and
(D) a silatrane derivative.
