Abstract
A liquid laundry detergent formulation is provided, comprising: a liquid carrier; a cleaning surfactant; and a cleaning booster polymer, wherein the cleaning booster polymer has structural units of a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer; structural units of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer of formula (I) optionally, structural units of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer of formula (III) and optionally, structural units of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer of formula (IV)
Claims10
A liquid laundry detergent formulation, comprising:
- a liquid carrier;
- a cleaning surfactant;
- and
- a cleaning booster polymer, wherein the cleaning booster polymer, comprises:
- (a) 60 to 95 wt %, based on dry weight of the cleaning booster polymer, of structural units of a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer;
- (b) 5 to 40 wt %, based on dry weight of the cleaning booster polymer, of structural units of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer of formula (I)
- wherein X is selected from the group consisting of an oxygen atom and a sulfur atom;
- wherein R1 is a C2-4 alkylene group;
- wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of a 2-(2-carboxyacrylamide)ethyl group, a vinyl group, an allyl group, an isopropenyl group, an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, a 2-hydroxy-3-(allyloxy)propyl group and a functional group of formula (II)
- R4—Y—R3— (II)
- wherein R3 is a C1-5 alkylene group;
- wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of an —O— and an —NR5—, where R5 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a C1-8 alkyl group;
- and
- wherein R4 is selected from the group consisting of a 2-hydroxy-3-(allyloxy)propyl group, a vinyl group, a methacryloyl group, an acryloyl group and a methacryloyloxyaceto group;
- (c) 0 to 20 wt %, based on dry weight of the cleaning booster polymer, of structural units of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer of formula (III)
- wherein A is selected from the group consisting of an —O— and an —NR5—;
- wherein each R6 is independently selected from the group consisting of a —CH2CH2O— group, a —CH2CH(CH3)O— group and a —CH2CH(CH2CH3)O— group;
- and
- wherein b is 2 to 20;
- (d) 0 to 5 wt %, based on dry weight of the cleaning booster polymer, of structural units of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer of formula (IV)
- wherein each R7 is independently selected from a —C14 alkyl group;
- and
- wherein each R8 is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a methyl group.
