Abstract:
A fabric care composition comprising:a) from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight, of a fabric abrasion reducing polymer, said fabric abrasion polymer comprising: i) at least one monomeric unit comprising an amide moiety; ii) at least one monomeric unit comprising an N-oxide moiety; or iii) mixtures thereof; and b) the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients; wherein the molecular weight of said fabric, abrasion reducing polymer is greater than 100,000 daltons; and wherein said fabric abrasion polymer comprises one or more monomeric units selected from the group consisting of: i) polyacrylamides and N-substituted polyacrylamides having the formula: wherein each Râ€² is independently hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, or both Râ€² unit can be taken together to form a ring comprising 4-6 carbon atoms; ii) polymethacrylamides and N-substituted polymethacrylamides having the general formula: wherein each Râ€² is independently hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, or both Râ€² units can be taken together to form a ring comprising 4-6 carbon atoms; and iii) mixtures thereof; wherein said composition further comprises from 0.001% to 50% by weight, of dye fixing agent and/or from 0.01% to 50% weight of a bleach protection polyamine selected from the group consisting of 1,4-bis-(3-aminopropyl)piperazine, 1,1-N-dimethyl-5-Nâ€²-methyl-9,9-Nâ€³-dimethyl dipropylenetriamine, 1,1-N-dimethyl-9,9-Nâ€³-dimethyl dipropylenetriamine, N,Nâ€²-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-propylenediamine, and mixtures thereof.
