ALKALINE LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYESTERS

摘要

An alkaline liquid laundry detergent composition comprising at least 1 wt% triethanolamine, at least 5 wt% non-soap surfactant and at least 0.5 wt% of a polyester according to the following formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 independently of one another are X-(OC2H4)n-(OC3H6)m wherein X is C1-4 alkyl, the -(OC2H4) groups and the -(OC3H6) groups are arranged blockwise and the block consisting of the -(OC3H6) groups is bound to a COO group or are HO-(C3H6), n is based on a molar average a number of from 12 to 120, preferably 40 to 50, m is based on a molar average a number of from 1 to 10, and a is based on a molar average a number of from 4 to 9. The inventive compositions comprise polyesters that have an advantageous stability in their alkaline environment and also possess advantageous soil release properties.
