Abstract

The present invention relates to liquid laundry detergent compositions comprising a polyetheramine.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A water-soluble unit dose article comprising a water-soluble film and a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising: from about 0.1% to about 10% of a polyetheramine of Formula (I):

wherein each R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, a methyl group, and an ethyl group, wherein at least one R group is a methyl group, and x is in the range of about 2 to about 20 and wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 200 to about 1000 grams/mole,
wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises 15.3% or more, by weight of the composition, of solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol, propanediol, dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, ethanol, isopropanol, butenol and mixtures thereof,
wherein the liquid laundry detergent further comprises from 3% to 15%, by weight of the composition, of water, and
wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition is free of perfume, encapsulated perfume, and perfume delivery agents.

2. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each and every R group is a methyl group and x is about 2.5.

3. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said polyetheramine comprises a polyetheramine mixture comprising at least 90%, by weight of said polyetheramine mixture, of said polyetheramine of Formula (I).

4. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 230 to about 700 grams/mole.

5. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 2 wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 230 to about 700 grams/mole.

6. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of enzyme.

7. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 4 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of enzyme.

8. The water-soluble unit dose article according to claim 6 wherein said enzyme is selected from lipase, amylase, protease, mannanase, or combinations thereof.

9. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an additional amine selected from the group consisting of oligoamines, triamines, diamines, and combinations thereof.

10. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition comprises an adjunct material and wherein the adjunct material is selected the group consisting of bleach, bleach catalyst, dye, hueing agents, cleaning polymers, alkoxylated polyamines, polyethyleneimines, alkoxylated polyethyleneimines, soil release polymers, surfactants, dye transfer inhibitors, chelants, suds suppressor, brighteners, polycarboxylates, structurants, deposition aids and mixtures thereof.

11. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 2 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition comprises an adjunct material and wherein the adjunct material is selected the group consisting of bleach, bleach catalyst, dye, hueing agents, cleaning polymers, alkoxylated polyamines, polyethyleneimines, alkoxylated polyethyleneimines, soil release polymers, surfactants, dye transfer inhibitors, chelants, suds suppressor, brighteners, polycarboxylates, structurants, deposition aids and mixtures thereof.

12. A water-soluble unit dose article comprising a water-soluble film and a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising: from about 0.1% to about 10% of a polyetheramine having the following structure:

wherein x is about 2.5,
where the liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises 15.3% or more, by weight of the composition, of solvent, where the solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol, propanediol, dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, ethanol, isopropanol, butenol, and mixtures thereof, and
wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition is free of perfume, encapsulated perfume, and perfume delivery agents.

13. A water-soluble unit dose article comprising a water-soluble film and a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising:
from about 0.1% to about 10% of a polyetheramine of Formula (I):

wherein each R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, a methyl group, and an ethyl group, wherein at least one R group is a methyl group, and x is in the range of about 2 to about 20 and wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 200 to about 1000 grams/mole;
wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises surfactant and an adjunct material,
wherein the adjunct material is selected the group consisting of bleach, bleach catalyst, dye, hueing agents, cleaning polymers, alkoxylated polyamines, polyethyleneimines, alkoxylated polyethyleneimines, soil release polymers, solvents, dye transfer inhibitors, chelants, suds suppressor, brighteners, polycarboxylates, structurants, deposition aids, and mixtures thereof;

wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition is free of perfume, encapsulated perfume, and perfume delivery agents.

14. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 13 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each and every R group is a methyl group and x is about 2.5.

15. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 13 wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 230 to about 700 grams/mole.

16. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 14 wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 230 to about 700 grams/mole.

17. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 13 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of enzyme.

18. The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 14 wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of enzyme.

19. The water-soluble unit dose article according to claim 18 wherein said enzyme is selected from lipase, amylase, protease, mannanase, or combinations thereof.

20. The water-soluble unit dose article according to claim 13 , wherein said liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises a solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol, propanediol, dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, ethanol, isopropanol, butenol, and mixtures thereof.
