Patent ID: 8859484

Claim:
A detergent composition comprising an amphiphilic graft polymer based on water-soluble polyalkylene oxides (A) as a graft base and side chains formed by polymerization of a vinyl ester component (B), said polymer having mean molar masses M w of from 3000 to 100,000 and comprising A. from 15% to 70% by weight of a water-soluble polyalkylene oxide as a graft base and B. side chains formed by free-radical polymerization of from 30 to 85% by weight of a vinyl ester component composed of (B1) from 70 to 100% by weight of vinyl acetate and/or vinyl propionate and (B2) from 0 to 30% by weight of a further ethylenically unsaturated monomer wherein said graft polymer has an average of less than or equal to 1 graft site per 50 alkylene oxide units and wherein said polymer has a full width at half maximum of the polarity distribution between 0.35 and about 1.0.
