Abstract:
A rinse-added fabric care composition comprising:A) from 0.01% to 20% by weight of said composition a fabric enhancement system comprising: i) one or more modified polyamine compounds, said modified polyamine compounds are selected from: a) (PA)w(T)x; b) (PA)w(L)z; c) [(PA)w(T)x]y[L]z; and d) mixtures thereof; â€ƒwherein PA is a grafted or non-grafted, modified or unmodified polyamine backbone unit, T is an amide-forming polycarboxylic acid crosslinking unit, and L is a non-amide forming crosslinking unit; provided that for compounds of type (i) and (iii) the indices w and x have values such that the ratio of w to x is from 0.8:1 to 1.5:1; for compounds of type (ii) the indices w and z have values such that said modified polyamine compound comprises from about 0.05 to about 2 parts by weight of said L unit; for compounds of type (iii) the indices y and z have values such that said modified polyamine compound comprises from about 0.05 to about 2 parts by weight of said L unit; ii) a fabric abrasion polymer having a formula: [â€”P(D)mâ€”]n â€ƒwherein the value of the index n is selected to provide a molecular weight from 500 to 6,000,000, daltons and providing for a water solubility of least 100 ppm in water at 25Â° C.; the P units comprise units having the formula: â€”[CR2â€”CR2]â€” or â€”[(CR2)xâ€”L]â€”wherein each R unit is independently hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, C6-C12 aryl, L unit is independently selected from the group consisting of:(a) â€ƒwherein R1 is hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, C6-C12 aryl, and mixtures thereof (b) polysiloxane having the formula: â€ƒwherein R2 is C1-C12 alkoxy, C6-C12 aryloxy, and mixtures thereof; the index p is from 1 to about 6; (c) units which have dye transfer inhibition activity having the formula: â€ƒwherein R3 is hydrogen C1-C12 alkyl, C6-C12 aryl, and mixtures thereof; R4 is C1-C12 alkyl, C6-C12 aryl, and mixtures thereof, and (d) mixtures thereof; â€ƒD units are incorporated as a pendant group to the P unit or are incorporated into the P unit and comprise: (a) an amide moiety partially hydrolyzed, crosslinked forms, and mixtures thereof; (b) a poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) moiety; (c) N-oxide units having the formula: â€ƒwherein R1, R2, and R3 can be any hydrocarbyl unit; (d) co-polymers thereof; (e) mixtures thereof; and B) the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients.
