Patent ID: 7439217

Claim:
A liquid laundry detergent composition comprising (a) at least one detergent ingredient selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and mixtures thereof; (b) a coacervate phase forming cationic polymer selected from substituted and unsubstituted polyquaternary ammonium compounds, cationically modified polysaccharides, cationically modified (meth)acrylamide polymers, cationically modified (meth)acrylamide copolymers, cationically modified (meth)acrylate polymers, cationically modified (meth)acrylate copolymers, chitosan, quaternized vinylimidazole polymers, quaternized vinylimidazole copolymers, dimethyldiallylammonium polymers, dimethyldiallylammonium copolymers, polyethylene imine based polymers, and mixtures thereof; (c) one or more fabric care ingredients selected from cationic silicone polymer according to the formula: wherein: R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of C 1−22 alkyl, C 2−22 alkenyl, C 6−22 alkylaryl, aryl, cycloalkyl, and mixtures thereof; R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of divalent organic moieties; X is independently selected from the group consisting of ring-opened epoxides; R 3 is independently selected from polyether groups having the formula: —M 1 (C a H 2a O) b —M 2 wherein M 1 is a divalent hydrocarbon residue; M 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C 1−22 alkyl, C 2−22 alkenyl, C 6−22 alkylaryl, aryl, cycloalkyl, C 1−22 hydroxyalkyl, polyalkyleneoxide, (poly)alkoxy alkyl and mixtures thereof; Z is independently selected from the group consisting of monovalent organic moieties comprising at least one quaternized nitrogen atom; a is from about 2 to about 4; b is from 0 to about 100; c is from about 1 to about 1000; d is from 0 to about 100; n is the number of positive charges associated with the cationic silicone polymer, which is greater than or equal to about 2; and A is a monovalent anion; (d) one or more enzymes; and (e) a liquid carrier.
