USE OF BRANCHED POLYESTERS BASED ON CITRIC ACID AS ADDITIVE IN WASHING COMPOSITIONS, CLEANERS, DETERGENTS OR A FORMULATION FOR WATER TREATMENT

摘要

The invention relates to the use of branched polyesters that can be obtained by polycondensing citric acid using at least one polyalcohol, and optionally using a polycarboxylic acid component as an additive in dish soaps, cleaning agents, detergents, or a formulation for water treatment and mixtures containing such branched polyesters. The invention further relates to the use of hydrophobically modified branched polyesters and the method for cleaning, washing, or water treatment using such branched polyesters.
