• Liquid-formulated cleaning agents containing the comb polymers according to the invention contain, generally have a pH below 8.
• the mixture was then inertized with nitrogen and opened within half an hour 165 - 167 ° C heated. The temperature rose within a further 2.5 hours 210 - 220 ° C increased. At an internal temperature of approx. 165 ° C the transesterification or Esterification and thus the distillation of methanol and water. After about 5 hours, more than 95% of the expected amount had distilled off. In the course of about 1 hour the pressure was reduced to 1-5 mbar and at 220 - 225 ° C condensed for a further 2 - 5 hours, a mixture of Ethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol distilled off and the batch increasingly viscous will, but still stirrable. After the condensation was finished with Nitrogen vented and cooled. The product solidifies on cooling Room temperature to a solid brittle mass. Yield 440 g.

• These washing powders were used to pre-wash the polyester WFK 30 A test fabric (laundry research institute Krefeld).
• the fabric pretreated in this way was dried and soiled with used motor oil. After an exposure time of 1 hour, the test fabric was washed with the same washing powders.
• test fabric was washed both without the addition of soil release polymers and with the addition of 1% of commercial soil release polymers. The reflectance of the test tissue was measured to assess the dirt detachment.
• the following compounds were used as the prior art soil release polymer:
