Abstract
Structuring systems, specifically thread-like structuring systems and/or disk-like structuring systems wherein structuring agents aggregate together to form disk-like structures that can interact with other disk-like structures to result in a structuring system, and processes for making such structuring systems, stabilized liquid compositions comprising such structuring systems, systems that utilize such structuring systems for stabilizing liquid compositions, and methods for utilizing the stabilized liquid compositions to provide a benefit, are disclosed.
Claims17
A water-containing heavy duty liquid laundry detergent composition comprising:
- a) from 0.1% to 10% of a fabric substantive agent having limited solubility in said liquid detergent composition, wherein the fabric substantive agent is selected from the group consisting of:
- silicon-moiety containing agents, anti-abrasion polymers, dye fixative agents, optical brighteners, fabric substantive perfumes, soil release polymers, photobleaches, bleaches, bleach precursors, and mixtures thereof;
- b) from 0.1% to 10% of a crystalline, hydroxyl-containing stabilizer;
- and
- d) 5% to 40% of a surfactant system comprising anionic, nonionic or mixed anionic/nonionic surfactants;
- e) wherein said laundry detergent composition has a pH at 1% in water of at least 7.5.
An aqueous, heavy-duty laundry detergent comprising:
- at least 5% water, preferably at least 20% water;
- 5% to 40% of a surfactant system comprising anionic, nonionic or mixed anionic/nonionic surfactants, optionally including amine oxides;
- from 0.1% to 5% of a crystalline, hydroxyl-containing stabilizer;
- from at least about 0.01% to about 5% of detersive enzymes;
- from 0.1% to 10% of a fabric-substantive agent selected from silicones having all of a cationically charged moiety, a silicon-containing moiety and a polyoxyalkylene moiety;
- said composition having a pH at 1% in water of at least 7.5.
A water-containing heavy duty liquid laundry detergent composition comprising:
- a) a fabric substantive agent having limited solubility in said liquid detergent composition;
- b) from 0.1% to 5% of a crystalline, hydroxyl-containing stabilizer of the formula:
- Z—(CH(OH))a-Z′
- where a is from 2 to 4;
- and Z and Z′ are hydrophobic groups;
- and
- c) a nonsurfactant adjunct suitable for laundry or dishwashing detergents wherein said adjunct is soluble in said liquid detergent composition.
