Abstract
A composition for treating fabric includes about 0.1 to about 10.0% cross linking agent, about 0.1 to about 5.0% polyolefin, about 0.1 to about 0.5% wetting agent, about 0.0 to about 8.0% aminofunctional silicone, about 0.0 to about 6.0% ionizing agent, about 0.0 to about 2.0% catalyst and any remainder as a carrier. The composition has a pH of between about 2.0 to about 4.0 and at least some aminofunctional silicone and/or ionizing agent is provided.
Claims13
A composition for treating fabric to impart an ionization effect, said composition consisting of:
- about 5% to about 15.0%, by weight percent, maleic acid/acrylic acid copolymer, or salts thereof, having a molecular weight of at least about 20,000;
- a blocked copolymer of polyester/polyethylene glycol;
- about 0.01% to about 4.0%, by weight percent, anionic surfactant;
- about 0.01% to about 4.0%, by weight percent, nonionic surfactant;
- and
- a carrier,
- wherein said composition has a pH in the range of about 2.0 to about 4.0,
- wherein durability is determined based a laundering according to AATCC Test Method 135, and
- wherein ionization is determined by a decreased time to dissipate one-half of a 100-volt charge using a Rothschild Static Voltmeter.
