Abstract:
An aqueous composition for controlling wrinkles in fabric comprising:(a) an effective amount to control wrinkles in fabric of a polymer comprising carboxylic acid moieties; (b) a carrier comprising water; (c) optionally, silicone compounds and/or emulsions; (d) optionally, an effective amount of a supplemental wrinkle control agent to remove and/or reduce wrinkle selected from the group consisting of an adjunct polymer free of carboxylic acid moieties, fabric care saccharides, lithium salts, fiber fabric lubricants, and mixtures thereof; (e) optionally, an effective amount of a supplemental surface tension control agent to facilitate dispersion, emulsification and/or solubilization; (f) optionally, an effective amount to absorb or reduce malodor, of odor control agent; (g) optionally, an effective amount to provide olfactory effects of perfume; (h) optionally, an effective amount of solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative to inhibit and/or regulate microbial growth; (i) optionally, an effective amount of a buffering system to prevent large changes in pH; (j) optionally, adjunct ingredients selected from the group consisting of adjunct odor-controlling materials, chelating agents, viscosity control agents, additional antistatic agents, insect and moth repelling agents, colorants, anti-clogging agents, and mixtures thereof; â€ƒwherein said composition has a pH of from about 3 to about 6.5 and a viscosity of less than about 20 cP.
