Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laundry detergent composition comprising an anti-redeposition agent, a surfactant, and optionally a builder, wherein the anti-redeposition agent is a polymer comprising polymerized units of: (a) from 5 to 40 wt % of at least one nitrogen-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one pKa value from 6 to 11.5, and (b) from 60 to 95 wt % of at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A laundry detergent composition comprising an anti-redeposition agent, a surfactant, and optionally a builder, wherein the anti-redeposition agent is a polymer comprising polymerized units of: (a) from 8 to 15 wt % of at least one di-(C 1-4 alkyl)aminoethyl or di-(C 1-4 alkyl)aminopropyl (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide having at least one pKa value from 7 to 11, and (b) from 85 to 92 wt % of at least one (meth) acrylic acid; wherein the polymer has no more than 0.1 wt % of polymerized monomer units of alkylene oxide and wherein the polymer comprises no more than 0.01 wt % of polymerized units of multiethylenically unsaturated monomer. 2. The composition of claim 1 in which the polymer has M w from 5,000 to 70,000. 3. The composition of claim 2 in which the polymer comprises polymerized units of from 7 to 30 wt % of at least one di-(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)aminoethyl or di-(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)aminopropyl (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide and from 70 to 93 wt % of at least one (meth)acrylic acid. 4. The composition of claim 3 in which the surfactant comprises at least one anionic surfactant which is a sulfate or sulfonate. 5. The composition of claim 4 in which the di-(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)aminoethyl or di-(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)aminopropyl (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide is 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate or N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide.
