Powder laundry detergent having enhanced soil suspending properties

摘要

A powder detergent composition which exhibits improved soil suspending properties on organic non-polar and polar soils in wash liquors. The powder detergent comprises a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer having pendant acid functionality and a terminal fragment of a chain transfer agent, wherein the polymer is the polymerization product of a ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer and a C1 to C24 chain transfer agent. The polymers also boost the cleaning performance of hard surface and dishware detergent compositions.
