Patent ID: 6911054

Claim:
A composition for the treatment of laundry, textile surfaces, leather, wood and hard surfaces, which comprises (a) 0.05 to 40% by weight of cationically modified, particulate, hydrophobic polymers, the surface of which has been cationically modified by coating with at least one of a polyvalent metal ion and a cationic surfactant, and the particle size of which is 10 nm to 100 μm, (b) 0.01 to 20% by weight of at least one of a water-soluble salt of Ca, Mg, Al, and Zn, and 0.01 to 30% by weight of at least one cationic surfactant, (c) 0 to 80% by weight of at least one additive, selected from the group consisting of acids, bases, inorganic builders, organic cobuilders, surfactants, polymeric color transfer inhibitors, polymeric antiredeposition agents, soil release polymers, enzymes, complexing agents, corrosion inhibitors, waxes, silicone oils, light protection agents, dyes, solvents, hydrotropic agents, thickeners and alkanolamines; and (d) water to make up to 100% by weight.
