Abstract:
A laundry and/or fabric care composition comprising:a) from about 1% to about 80% by weight of surfactants selected from the group consisting of nonicoic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof; and b) from about 0.1% to about 5.0% by weight of modified amylopectin polymers and/or oligomers of the general formula: wherein each R is selected from the group consisting of R2, Rc, and wherein:each R2 is independently selected from the group consisting of H end C1-C4 alkyl; each Rc is wherein each Z is independently selected from the group consisting of M, R2, Rc, and RH;each RH is independently selected from the group consisting of C5-C20 alkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl, C7-C20 alkylaryl, C7-C20 arylalkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, C1-C20 alkoxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, C7-C20 alkylarylaxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, (R4)2N-alkyl, (R4)2N-2-hydroxyalkyl, (R4)3N-alkyl, (R4)3N-2-hydroxyalkyl, C6-C12 aryloxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, each R4 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C20 alkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl, C7-C20 alkylaryl, C7-C20 arylalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl, piperidinomilcyl, morpholinoalkyl, cycloalkylaminoalkyi and hydroxyalkyl; each R5 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C20 alkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl, C7-C20 alkylaryl, C7-C20 arylalkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, (R4)2N-alkyl, and (R4)3N-alkyl; wherein:M is a suitable cation selected from the group consisting of Na+, K+, Â½Ca2+, Â½Mg2+, or +NHjRK, wherein j and k are independently from 0 to 4 and wherein j+k is 4 and R in this formula is any moiety capable of forming a cation, each x is from 0 to about 5; each y is from about 1 to about 5; and provided that: the Degree of Substitution for group RH is between about 0.001 and about 0.1, the Degree of Substitution for group Rc wherein Z is H or M is between about 0 and about 2.0, if any RH bears a positive charge, it is balanced by a suitable anion; and two R4's on the same nitrogen can together form a ring atnacture selected from the group consisting of piperidine and morpholine.
