Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of a gel-like polymer composition, which is produced by means of a radical polymerization of an [alpha],[beta]-ethylenically unsaturated acid in the presence of at least one polyether component, in formulations for automatic dishwashing (ADW).
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are novel graft polymers including a block copolymer backbone (A) as a graft base having polymeric sidechains (B) grafted thereon. The polymeric sidechains (B) are obtainable by polymerization of a vinyl ester monomer (B1) and optionally N-vinylpyrrolidone as optional further monomer (B2). Most preferably, the block copolymer backbone (A) is a triblock copolymer of polyethylene oxide (PEG) and polypropylene oxide (PPG). Further disclosed herein is a process for obtaining such a graft polymer Further disclosed herein is a method of using such a graft polymer within, for example, fabric and home care products. Additionally disclosed herein are fabric and home care products containing such a graft polymer.
Abstract:
Described herein is a premix including an alkyl polyglycoside, preferably C10-C16 alkyl polyglycoside, a hydrotrope and a solvent including water. Also described herein are a method of using the premix in preparing a liquid detergent formulation and a method for preparing a liquid detergent composition by using the premix.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a process for making a powder or granule containing (A) at least one chelating agent selected from methyl glycine diacetic acid (MGDA) and glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) and iminodisuccinic acid (IDS) and their respective alkali metal salts, (B) at least one homo- or copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid, partially or fully neutralized with alkali, said process comprising the steps of (a) mixing the at least one chelating agent (A) and the at least one homo- or copolymer (B) in the presence of water, (b) removing most of said water by spray-drying or spray granulation using a gas with an inlet temperature of at least 125° C.
Abstract:
Melamine derivatives and mixtures thereof with aqueous systems, a process for inhibiting corrosion of metals and metal alloys with melamine derivatives and mixtures thereof and the use of melamine derivatives and mixtures thereof as corrosion inhibitors for aqueous systems, for example water/oil mixtures, especially in the field of cleaning compositions, cooling fluids, oilfield chemicals or lubricants.
