6335404, Jan 1, 2002

Filed:

Apr 5, 1994

Appl. No.:

08/223351

Inventors:

Thomas Cleveland Kirk - Langhorne PA
David Witiak - Yardley PA

Assignee:

Rohm and Haas Company - Philadelphia PA

International Classification:

C08F 216

US Classification:

526 93, 526271

Abstract:

The present invention provides an efficient aqueous polymerization process for preparing a water soluble polymer product having a molecular weight of less than 30,000. The polymer product is formed from about 3 to about 50 weight percent of at least one monoethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monomer, from about 50 to about 97 weight percent of at least one monoethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid monomer, and from 0 to about 40 weight percent of one or more carboxyl-free monoethylenically unsaturated monomers. The process of the present invention may be run as a batch or continuous process. The process uses at least one chain transfer agent and is conducted at an aqueous solution pH of about 3 or less to keep the molecular weight of the polymer product below 30,000. The polymer product produced by the process of the present invention is useful as an additive in detergents, cleaning formulations, and water circulating systems.

Abstract:

Polymer compositions derived from selected monoethylenically unsaturated (C -C )carboxylic acid monomers, (C -C )alkyl (meth)acrylate ester monomers and alkoxylated (meth)acrylate monomers used in certain weight ratios to provide enhanced detergent and cleaning performance are disclosed. Polymer compositions containing from 5 to 40% of monoethylenically unsaturated (C -C )carboxylic acid monomer, from 35 to 65% of (C -C )alkyl (meth)acrylate ester monomer and from 20 to 60% of alkoxylated (meth)acrylate monomer provide improved cleaning performance in laundry detergent formulations relative to conventional polymer compositions.

International Classification:

C11D 337

US Classification:

8137

Abstract:

This invention provides a process for preventing dye from transferring from one fabric to the same or different fabric in a laundry process. This invention also provides dye transfer inhibiting agents formulated into laundry detergent and fabric softening formulations. More specifically, a process is provided where 1) an aqueous bath is formed comprising a) water, b) dyed fabric, and c) a dye transfer inhibiting agent, 2) the dyed fabric is laundered in the aqueous bath and the fabric releases a portion of the dye from the dyed fabric into the bath, and 3) the dye transfer inhibiting agent is maintained in contact with the dyed fabric for the duration of the laundering step. The laundry detergent and fabric softening formulations are comprised of 0. 1 to 15 percent by weight of one or more dye transfer inhibiting agents.
