Patent ID: 7896928

Claim:
A composition for treating fabric to impart an ionization effect, said composition consisting of: about 5% to about 15.0%, by weight percent, maleic acid/acrylic acid copolymer, or salts thereof, having a molecular weight of at least about 20,000; a blocked copolymer of polyester/polyethylene glycol; about 0.01% to about 4.0%, by weight percent, anionic surfactant; about 0.01% to about 4.0%, by weight percent, nonionic surfactant; and a carrier, wherein said composition has a pH in the range of about 2.0 to about 4.0, wherein durability is determined based a laundering according to AATCC Test Method 135, and wherein ionization is determined by a decreased time to dissipate one-half of a 100-volt charge using a Rothschild Static Voltmeter.
