Abstract:
The present invention provides a fabric washing composition and aqueous treatment solution for inhibiting dye from transferring from one fabric to the same or different fabric in a fabric washing process. The fabric washing composition and aqueous treatment solution contain at least one dye deposition inhibiting polymer. The dye deposition inhibiting polymer contains, as polymerized units, from 5 to 100 weight percent of at least one vinyl amide monomer and from 0 to 95 weight percent of one or more vinyl ester monomers. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting the deposition of dye by adding at least one of dye deposition inhibiting polymer useful in the present invention to a fabric washing process where dye may be released.

Abstract:
This invention provides a process for preventing dye from depositing onto fabric, and fabric finishing compositions useful in the dye deposition inhibiting process of this invention. Specifically, a process is provided where 1) an aqueous bath is formed comprising a) water, b) dyed fabric, and c) a dye deposition inhibiting agent, 2) the dyed fabric is treated in the aqueous bath and the fabric releases a portion of the dye from the dyed fabric into the bath, and 3) the dye inhibiting agent is maintained in contact with the dyed fabric for the duration of the treating step. The dye deposition inhibiting agent comprises
i) an aqueous system thickener, ii) an aryl sulfonic acid condensate, iii) a polycarboxylic dispersant, or iv) an acrylamide containing polymer.

Abstract:
Hydrophobically modified polycarboxylate polymers of Formula 1:- are useful for promoting soil release from fabrics, particularly cotton and cotton-containing fabrics, by contacting the fabrics with compositions comprising said polymers.
Abstract:
Stable aqueous cleaning concentrate compositions containing high concentrations of alkali and polymers useful as scale-inhibiting cleaning additives are disclosed. Water-soluble polymer additives useful for preparing the stable cleaning concentrates include terpolymers of acrylic acid, maleic acid and vinyl acetate. The storage-stable cleaning concentrates are especially useful in providing cleaning formulations for automatic washing systems, such as bottle washing and clean-in-place operations.
Abstract:
Polycarboxylate additives suitable for use in automatic dishwasher detergent compositions are prepared by polymerizing three or more monomers including monoethylenically unsaturated C 3 to C 6 monocarboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, monoethylenically unsaturated C 4 to C 6 dicarboxylic acids such as maleic acid, and monoethylenically unsaturated esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid. Automatic dishwasher detergents prepared from these additives produce low filming and spotting on washed glassware.
