Abstract:
The invention concerns the use of copolymers obtainable by the radical polymerisation of (a) 10 to 90 wt% hydrophobic monomers and (b) 90 to 10 wt% hydrophilic monomers as an additive to particulate detergent formulations to increase their rate of dissolution in water, in quantities of 0.1 to 10 wt% in relation to the detergent formulations.
Abstract:
The use of an amine with an average pKs of 1 to 14 as a washing power enhancer, preferably in textile detergents, especially for washing coloureds, and detergent formulations containing said amines.
