Abstract:
1. A composition consisting of: (a) a water-soluble first polyelectrolyte bearing a net cationic charge or capable of developing a net cationic charge wherein said first polyelectrolyte is a homopolymer of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (“DADMAC”); (b) a water-soluble second polyelectrolyte bearing a net anionic charge or capable of developing a net anionic charge wherein said second polyelectrolyte is selected from the group consisting of a homopolymer of acrylic acid, a random copolymer of acrylic acid and mixtures thereof; (c) an oxidant selected from the group consisting of a hypohalous acid, a hypohalite, and mixtures thereof; (d) water; (e) optionally, a fragrance, a hydrotrope, a colorant, a dye, a buffer, a chelating agent, an electrolyte, an anti-microbial agent, a solvent, a stain and soil repellent, a lubricant, an odor control agent, a perfume, a fragrance release agent, an acid, a base, a solubilizing material, a stabilizer, a thickener, a defoamer, a cloud-point modifier, a preservative, a water immiscible solvent, an enzyme, and mixtures thereof; (f) wherein the composition is free of precipitates, latex particles, synthetic block copolymers, silicone copolymers, cross-linked poly(acrylic) and cross-linked water-soluble polyelectrolyte; (g) wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than about 1,000 centipoise; and (h) wherein the pH is 11.2 or greater; and (i) wherein upon dilution, the composition forms a polyelectrolyte complex.
