Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a method for treating a fabric, notably a method for preventing or recovering degradation of a fabric, by using a cationic polygalactomannan, wherein the cationic polygalactomannan contains non-ionic hydroxyalkyl substituents and has a Brookfield RVT viscosity at 25° C. and 20 rpm greater than 700 mPa·s, at a concentration of 1 wt % in water.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating a fabric, the method comprising the steps of contacting the fabric with a cationic polygalactomannan and preventing or recovering degradation of the fabric, wherein said cationic polygalactomannan contains non-ionic hydroxyalkyl substituents and has a Brookfield RVT viscosity at 25° C. and 20 rpm between 700 and 1,200 mPa·s, at a concentration of 1 wt % in water, wherein the cationic polygalactomannan is a hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, and wherein preventing or recovering degradation of the fabric is evidenced by less fibrils in the fabric as compared to contacting the fabric with deionized (DI) water alone. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic polygalactomannan has a Brookfield RVT viscosity at 25° C. and 20 rpm comprised between 700 and 950 mPa·s, at a concentration of 1 wt % in water. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic polygalactomannan has a Brookfield RVT viscosity at 25° C. and 20 rpm comprised between 750 and 950 mPa·s, at a concentration of 1 wt % in water. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic polygalactomannan has a Brookfield RVT viscosity at 25° C. and 20 rpm comprised between 750 and 900 mPa·s, at a concentration of 1 wt % in water. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic polygalactomannan has a Brookfield RVT viscosity at 25° C. and 20 rpm comprised between 750 and 850 mPa·s, at a concentration of 1 wt % in water. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method comprises a step of contacting a fabric having degradation with said cationic polygalactomannan.
