  • a standardized test is provided that determines the dye maintenance parameter for any given polymer.
  • Compositions comprising the dye maintenance polymers of this invention impart appearance and integrity benefits to fab ⁇ cs and textiles laundered m washing solutions formed from such compositions.

Charge density can then be converted to an average charge per molecule by determining the average molecular weight of the material and simply dividing the charge density by the average molecular weight to determine the average number of positive charges per molecule.
