CLEANING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CROSS-LINKED POLYMERIC THICKENERS AND HYPOCHLORITE BLEACH

摘要

c.6050 Liquid or gel-type cleaning compositions are reported containing a water-soluble polymer formed from monomers comprising at least one .alpha. , .beta. -unsaturated carboxylic acid or salt thereof and one or more cross-linking monomers each having at least two unsaturated groups and which after cross linking consists of a saturated hydrocarbon or aromatic structure. The polymer must be stable to oxidation by 1% hypochlorite at 25.degree.C for greater than two weeks without exhibiting any phase separation or greater than 50% viscosity loss from the composition. Besides polymer, the compositions will contain a chlorine bleach agent.
