Abstract
Process for anti-redeposition of staining substances on textiles of natural, synthetic or artificial fibers or mixtures thereof in the course of operations of dry cleaning or de-oiling by means of suitably stabilized perchloroethylene in which a sufficient amount of an additive represented by at least one monoketone compound having a boiling point below or equal to 160.degree. C. and, preferably lower than 140.degree. C., is added as an anti-redeposition additive.
Claims12
A process for anti-redeposition, which has the effect of reducing greying by redeposition of staining substances on textiles of natural, synthetic or artificial fibers or mixtures thereof, in the course of operation of dry cleaning, or de-oiling by means of perchloroethylene, comprising incorporating in the perchloroethylene a sufficient anti-greying amount of at least one monoketone anti-redeposition additive having a boiling point which does not exceed 160.degree. C. to observe the desired anti-redeposition effect.
An anti-redeposition composition for dry cleaning or de-oiling based on stabilized perchloroethylene, which may contain water up to 6% by weight relative to the textiles to be treated, and auxiliary substances, including cleaning reinforcing agents and anti-static agents, each of which substances may be present in an amount of from 1 to 10 g per liter of said composition, characterized in that the composition contains from 0.5 to 8% by weight of at least one monoketone anti-redeposition additive having a boiling point below or equal to 160.degree. C.
