Abstract:
The invention is directed to aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for cleaning and imparting fabric care benefits to fabrics laundered therewith. Such compositions comprise (A) at least one detersive surfactant; (B) droplets of a silicone blend comprising a nitrogen-containing amino or ammonium functionalized polysiloxane and a nitrogen-free non-functionalized polysiloxane; and (C) at least one additional non-silicone laundry adjunct selected from detersive enzymes, dye transfer inhibiting agents, optical brighteners, suds suppressors and combinations thereof. The functionalized polysiloxane component of the silicone blend has a relatively low, i.e., less than 30 mol%, content of reactive/curable groups, a nitrogen content which ranges from 0.05 % to 0.50 % by weight and a viscosity which ranges from 0.00002 m 2 /s to 0.2 m 2 /s. The nitrogen-free, non-functionalized polysiloxane material ranges in viscosity from 0.01 m 2 /sec to 2.0 m 2 /sec. Such compositions may not additionally contain coacervate phase-forming polymers and/or cationic deposition aids.

Abstract:
The invention is directed to liquid laundry detergent compositions for treating non-keratinous substrates under domestic wash conditions, such composition comprise (A) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and combinations thereof; (B) a silicone blend comprising a non-functionalised silicone and a functionalised silicone; and (C) at least one additional non-silicone laundry adjunct selected from the group consisting of detergent builders, detersive enzymes, dye transfer inhibiting agents, and combinations thereof. The claimed compositions are further essentially free of any coacervate phase-forming polymer and essentially free of any cationic deposition aid.
Abstract:
A deodorizing system capable of reducing malodors in confined spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens, cars and cellars. More specifically, it is provided a kit comprising a moisture-permeable, water-impervious sachet and a perfume composition, wherein said sachet comprises a solid composition comprising a hypohalite bleach and/or a peroxygen bleach.
Abstract:
Systems, compositions and methods for fabric laundering comprising selected organosilicones which are formulated into microemulsions for improved deposition onto fabrics to provide fabric care benefits.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for cleaning and imparting fabric care benefits to fabrics laundered therewith. Such compositions comprise (A) at least one detersive surfactant; (B) droplets of a silicone blend comprising a nitrogen-containing amino or ammonium functionalized polysiloxane and a nitrogen-free non-functionalized polysiloxane; and (C) at least one additional non-silicone laundry adjunct selected from detersive enzymes, dye transfer inhibiting agents, optical brighteners, suds suppressors and combinations thereof. The functionalized polysiloxane component of the silicone blend has a relatively low, i.e., less than 30 mol%, content of reactive/curable groups, a nitrogen content which ranges from 0.05% to 0.30% by weight and a viscosity which ranges from 0.00002 m2/s to 0.2 m2/s. The nitrogen- free non-functionalized polysiloxane material ranges in viscosity from 0.01 m2/sec to 2.0 m2/sec. The silicone blend is preferably used in a pre-formed emulsion which can be added to the balance of the detergent composition to form the droplets of the silicone blend which are dispersed in the detergent composition.
Abstract:
A method of reducing the formation of malodors in a confined space. More specifically, it is provided a method of reducing the formation of malodors in a confined space, comprising the step of placing a moisture-permeable, water-insoluble sachet comprising a solid composition comprising a hypohalite bleach and/or a peroxygen bleach in close proximity of a source of humidity present within said confined space.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for cleaning and imparting fabric care benefits to fabrics laundered therewith and to methods for preparing such compositions. Such compositions comprise (A) at least one textile-cleaning surfactant; (B) droplets of miscible silicones comprising both a polarly-functionalized, preferably nitrogen-containing amino or ammonium functionalized, polysiloxane component and a nitrogen-free non-functionalized or non-polarly-functionalized polysiloxane component; and (C) a perfume component comprising fragrant aldehydes and/or ketones or a pro-perfume capable of providing such aldheyde and/or ketone perfume materials in situ. Incorporation of a polarly-functionalized polysiloxane fabric care agent into liquid laundry detergent compositions by miscibly combining it with a non-functionalized or non-polarly functionalized polysiloxane minimizes the undesirable interaction such polarly-functionalized silicone material might otherwise have with aldehyde and/or ketone perfume compounds.
