POLYHYDROXY AMIDES TO PROVIDE DYE TRANSFER INHIBITION BENEFITS DURING FABRIC LAUNDERING.

摘要

Dyed fabrics are laundered with N-alkyl or N-alkoxy polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants with minimal dye transfer between fabrics. Thus, a laundry bath comprising C12-C14 N-methyl glucamide provides dye transfer inhibition on laundered fabrics. Additional dye transfer inhibiting agents such as poly(4-vinylpyridine-N-oxide) may be used in the compositions for improved results.
