Abstract:
A detergent composition comprising:a) from 5% to 80% by weight of surfactants selected from the group consisting of nonionic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; andb) from 0.01% to 5.0% by weight of a mixture of cyclic amine based polymers, oligomers or copolymers of the general formula: ##STR40##whereineach T is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, substituted alkyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.12 alkylaryl, ##STR41##wherein W comprises at least one cyclic constituent selected from the group consisting of: ##STR42##in addition to the at least one cyclic constituent, W may also comprise an aliphatic or substituted aliphatic moiety of the general structure; ##STR43##each B is independently C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylene, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 substituted alkylene, C.sub.3 -C.sub.12 alkenylene, C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 dialkylarylene, C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 dialkylarylenediyl, and --(R.sub.5 O).sub.n R.sub.5 --;each D is independently C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkylene;each Q is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkoxy, C.sub.2 -C.sub.18 hydroxyalkoxy, amino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkylamino, dialkylamino, trialkylamino groups, heterocyclic monoamino groups and diamino groups;each R.sub.1 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl and C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 hydroxyalkyl;each R.sub.2 is independently selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylene, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkenylene, --CH.sub.2 --CH(OR.sub.1)--CH.sub.2, C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 alkarylene, C.sub.4 -C.sub.12 dihydroxyalkylene, poly(C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkyleneoxy)alkylene, H.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 OR.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 --, and C.sub.3 -C.sub.12 hydrocarbyl moieties;provided that when R.sub.2 is a C.sub.3 -C.sub.12 hydrocarbyl moiety the hydrocarbyl moiety can comprise from about 2 to about 4 branching moieties of the general structure: ##STR44##each R.sub.3 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, R.sub.2, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 hydroxyalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, substituted alkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.11 aryl, substituted aryl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.11 alkylaryl, and C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 aminoalkyl;each R.sub.4 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.22 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.22 hydroxyalkyl, aryl and C.sub.7 -C.sub.22 alkylaryl;each R.sub.5 is independently selected from the group consisting of C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkylene, C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkyl substituted alkylene; andA is a compatible monovalent or di or polyvalent anion;M is a compatible cation;b=number necessary to balance the charge;each x is independently from 3 to about 1000;each c is independently 0 or 1;each h is independently from about 0 to about 8;each q is independently from 0 to about 6;each n is independently from 0 to about 20;each r is independently from 0 to about 20; andeach t is independently from 0 to 1.
