Abstract:
A detergent composition characterized by:a) from 1% to 80% by weight of surfactants selected from the group consisting of nonionic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; and b) from 0.01% to 5.0% by weight of a mixture of cyclic amine based polymers, oligomers or copolymers of the general formula: â€ƒwherein; each T is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C12 alkyl, substituted alkyl, C7-C12 alkylaryl, â€”(CH2)hCOOM, â€”(CH2)hSO3M, CH2CH(OH)SO3M, â€”(CH2)hOSO3M, wherein W comprises at least one cyclic constituent selected from the group consisting of: â€ƒin addition to the at least one cyclic constituent, W may also comprise an aliphatic or substituted aliphatic moiety of the general structure; each B is independently C1-C12 alkylene, C1-C12 substituted alkylene, C3-C12 alkenylene, C8-C12 dialkylarylene, C8-C12 dialkylarylenediyl, and â€”(R5O)nR5â€”; each D is independently C2-C6 alkylene; each Q is independently selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, C1-C18 alkoxy, C2-C18 hydroxyalkoxy, amino, C1-C18 alkylamino, dialkylamino, trialkylamino groups, heterocyclic monoamino groups and diamino groups; each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C8 alkyl and C1-C8 hydroxyalkyl; each R2 is independently selected from the group consisting of C1-C12 alkylene, C1-C12 alkenylene, â€”CH2â€”CH(OR1)â€”CH2, C8-C12 alkarylene, C4-C12 dihydroxyalkylene, poly(C2-C4 alkyleneoxy)alkylene, H2CH(OH)CH2OR2OCH2CH(OH)CH2â€”, and C3-C12 hydrocarbyl moieties; provided that when R2 is a C3-C12 hydrocarbyl moiety the hydrocarbyl moiety can comprise from 2 to 4 branching moieties of the general structure: each R3 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, R2, O, C1-C20 hydroxyalkyl, C1-C20 alkyl, substituted alkyl, C6-C11 aryl, substituted aryl, C7-C11 alkylaryl, C1-C20 aminoalkyl, â€”(CH2)hCOOM, â€”(CH2)hSO3M, CH2CH(OH)SO3M, â€”(CH2)hOSO3M, wherein at least 10 mole %, preferably at least 20 mole %, more preferably at least 30 mole %, and most preferably at least 50 mole % of the R3 groups are O, provided that O is only present on a tertiary N; each R4 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C22 alkyl, C1-C22 hydroxyalkyl, aryl and C7-C22 alkylaryl; each R5 is independently selected from the group consisting of C2-C8 alkylene, C2-C8 alkyl substituted alkylene; and A 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 1000; each c is independently 0 or 1; each h is independently from 1 to 8; each q is independently from 0 to 6; each n is independently from 1 to 20; each r is independently from 0 to 20; and each t is independently from 0 to 1.
