Abstract:
Disclosed are a composition of laundry detergent capable of improving touch feel of clothes after laundering; and a manufacturing method thereof. The present invention provides a composition of laundry detergent including: (a) 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of an acidic form of water-soluble polymer; (b) 5 to 20 parts by weight of an anionic surfactant; (c) 10 to 70 parts by weight of an alkaline builder; and (d) 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of an organic acid coated so that it can be separated from the alkaline builder. The composition of laundry detergent according to the present invention is useful to improve soft feel of clothes by reducing possibility that calcium carbonate or a water-insoluble water softener remains in clothes after laundering, and also the composition of laundry detergent is stable because there is little caking phenomenon, and has an excellent solubility and washability in cold water. The manufacturing method of the present invention does not need an additional drying process so as to manufacture the powder detergent, as well as it is simple and economical.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to powder detergent granules that are substantially free of a water-insoluble component such as zeolite or silica, a method for manufacturing the powder detergent granules and a copolymer having various properties useful as a detergent component. The powder detergent granules of the present invention are substantially free of a water-insoluble component, and thus exhibit good solubility and washing performance in cold water, do not leave residue after laundry, and reduce the likelihood of a caking phenomenon during manufacture and storage. And, the powder detergent granules of the present invention are substantially free of zeolite or silica that absorbs a liquid component, but are capable of accommodating a considerable amount of liquid surfactant. Further, a copolymer comprising acrylic acid monomer unit and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid monomer unit, an acidic water-soluble polymer of the present invention, is useful as a detergent component in various aspects.
