Abstract:
Hydroxyalkylaminocarboxylic acids have the general formula (I), in which R1 is hydrogen, a C¿1?-C4 alkyl residue or a group having the formulas -CHR?3¿-CH(OH)-R2 or -CH¿2?)n-COOM, in which n equals 1 to 4; R?2 and R3¿ represent independently from each other hydrogen, a phenyl residue or an alkyl or alkenyl residue that may in addition bear phenoxy groups, carboxylic acid C¿1?-C4-alkyl ester groups or ester groups derived from triglycerides based on unsaturated C10-C22 fatty acids and may be interrupted by non-adjacent oxygen atoms, the sum of all C atoms from both residues R?2 and R3¿ being at least 4; A is a linear or branched C¿1?-C6 alkylene group that may in addition bear a hydroxyl group and/or a group having the formula COOM, and R?1¿ and A may form together with the N atom a 5- or 6-membered ring; and M is hydrogen, alkaline metal, ammonium or substituted ammonium. These hydroxyalkylaminocarboxylic acids are useful as complexing agents for alkaline earth and heavy metal ions.

PCT No. PCT/EP97/05744 Sec. 371 Date May 12, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date May 12, 1999 PCT Filed Oct. 17, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/17764 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 30, 1998The invention relates to the use of crosslinked nitrogenous compounds which are soluble or dispersible in water and are obtainable by crosslinking of (a) compounds containing at least three NH groups with (b) at least bifunctional crosslinkers which react with NH groups, in detergents and cleaners, especially soil release agents. Compounds (a) are preferably selected from the group consisting of oligo- and polyamines, polyalkylenepolyamines, polyamidoamines, polyamidoamines grafted with (poly)ethyleneimnine, and mixtures thereof
Abstract:
The use of an amine with an average pKA of from 1 to 14 as detergency booster, preferably in textile detergents, especially in color detergents, and detergent formulations containing these amines.
Abstract:
A mixture comprising(a) from 0.1 to 99% by weight of at least one polycarboxylate having at least 3 carboxyls,(b) from 0.1 to 99% by weight of at least one amine having a pKa value of more than 9, and(c) from 0.1 to 99% by weight of at least one acid selected from the group consisting of mineral acids and organic acids having one or two carboxyls and not more than 10 carbons,with the proviso that the mixture contains less than 24% by weight of triphosphates, is used in detergent and rinse aid formulations.
