Patent ID: 8669221

Claim:
A laundry detergent or cleaning composition which comprises an amphiphilic water-soluble alkoxylated polyalkylenimine of the general formula I in which the variables are each defined as follows: R are identical or different, linear or branched C 2 -C 6 -alkylene radicals; B is a branch; E is a block alkylenoxy unit of the formula R 1 is 1,2-propylene, 1,2-butylene and/or 1,2-isobutylene; R 2 is ethylene; R 3 is 1,2-propylene; R 4 are identical or different radicals selected from either hydrogen or a C 1 -C 4 -alkyl; wherein the block alkylenoxy unit, E, comprises an inner polyethylene oxide block and an outer polypropylene oxide block; x, y, z are each from 2 to 150, where the sum of x+y+z means a number of alkylenimine units which corresponds to an average molecular weight M W of the polyalkylenimine before the alkoxylation of from 300 to 10,000; m is a rational number from 0 to 2; n is a rational number from 6 to 18; p is a rational number from 3 to 12; where 0.8≦n/p≦1.0(x+y+z) 1/2 ; or quaternization products thereof.
