Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

【Technical field】

The present invention relates to a fabric comprising one or more dye-retaining compounds, which may be oligomers, polymers, copolymers, etc., comprising one or more monomers that result in a final dye-retaining compound having a net positive charge. It relates to a dye maintenance composition. Compositions comprising the dye-retaining polymers of the present invention impart appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and cloths treated with solutions prepared from such compositions.

[0002]

[Background Art]

Of course, the alternating cycle of using and washing fabrics and fabrics, for example, worn clothing and garments, is inevitably adversely affecting the appearance and integrity of such used and washed fabric and fabric items. Is well known. Fabrics and fabrics are simply worn over time with use. Laundry of fabrics and cloths requires removal of dirt and stains that accumulate therein and thereon during normal use. However, the washing operation itself over many cycles can further exacerbate and contribute to degradation of the integrity and appearance of such fabrics and fabrics.

[0003] Deterioration of fabric integrity and appearance may manifest in several ways. The staple fibers are driven out of the woven / knitted fabric / fabric structure by the mechanical action of washing. These dislodged fibers may form lint, fuzz or "pills" that are visible on the surface of the fabric and reduce the appearance of the fabric's freshness. Further, repeated washing of fabrics and fabrics, especially with bleach-containing laundry products, can remove dye from fabrics and fabrics and result in reduced color strength and many In some cases, a change in hue or color may impart a faded worn out appearance.

[0004] Given the foregoing, fabric treatment products, particularly rinsed fabric conditioners, pre-wash spray-on compositions, pre-soak compositions, and odor control or fabric refresh compositions after or during washing. There is a continuing need to identify substances that can be added, fabrics and fabric fibers that are themselves related to, and that will reduce, reduce or minimize the tendency of, the fabric / fabric to degrade in appearance. Obviously. Of course, such fabric treatment / fabric maintenance composition additive materials should be able to benefit fabric appearance and integrity without unduly disturbing the ability of the rest of the laundry product to achieve its intended function. It is. The present invention relates to the use of the dye-retaining polymer realized in this desired manner in fabric treatment compositions and fabric enhancement compositions.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to attenuation and / or reduction of fabric appearance loss. The composition of the present invention is a cationic heavyweight agent that works with low molecular weight fabric-enhancing polyamines, fabric softeners (crystal growth inhibitors) and dye fixatives primarily to provide the fabric with protection from appearance loss due to mechanical loss. Including coalesced or copolymerized. Another aspect of the invention is a low molecular weight fabric enhancing polyamine, fabric softener (quaternary ammonium fabric softener active ingredient).
, A dye fixative, and a cationic polymer or copolymer that works together with one or more further enhancers, among other things, stabilizers, cosolvents. Still another aspect of the present invention is a low molecular weight fabric enhancing polyamine, fabric softener (crystal growth inhibitor).
And a quaternary ammonium fabric softener, and a composition comprising a cationic polymer or copolymer acting together with a dye fixative. Normal wear destruction of the fabric surface removes the surface layer of the fabric to be dyed. Particularly in the case of cotton fabrics, the layers below this layer of the dyed fabric are less dyed and then are not dyed. When worn out,
"Fade-off" occurs due to abrasion of the fabric and subsequent loss of weakened fabric fibers in the wash cycle.

Surprisingly, the combination of elements making up the composition of the present invention modifies the surface of fabrics, especially cellulosic fabrics, and improves many of the conditions that increase fabric fiber surface wear and subsequent losses. Was found. Also, the compositions of the present invention soften the fabric surface and do not wear the fibers so much, thereby reducing the level of friction between the fabric and the surface where the garment contacts. This change in surface condition negates many of the conditions that contribute to fabric damage, and thus can attenuate and, in some cases, reduce fabric damage, and thus the concomitant loss of color.

The compositions of the present invention are compatible, fully formulated rinse additives, laundry additives or presoaking with the composition as ingredients, all of which are used in combination with fabric softeners, laundry detergent compositions, etc. Can be used for single treatment of the fabric added to The composition of the present invention is a method for attenuating or reducing loss of color due to mechanical abrasion and removal of the top layer of dyed fabric after treating the fabric, either alone or as a system. It is suitable for providing.

[0013] Alternatively, the composition comprises a fabric color cohesive system. The system of the present invention is used as an initial treatment of the fabric by the manufacturer of either the fabric from which the garment is made or the fully formed product (garment). However, if the fabric is not pre-treated by the manufacturer, suitable protection is provided to the fabric (the consumer applies the system to the fabric at the time of washing). The system of the present invention can be used at any point during the life of a garment to reduce color loss from the fabric.

Cellulose-reactive dye fixatives may be suitably combined with one or more of the dye fixatives described above to form a "dye fixative system".

The term “cellulose-reactive dye fixative” is defined herein as “a dye fixative that reacts with cellulose fibers upon application of heat or heat treatment, either in situ or by a formulator”. Suitable cellulose reactive dye fixatives for use in the present invention can be defined by the following test methods.

Cellulose Reactivity Test (CRT) Four pieces of fabric capable of bleeding dye (for example, Direct Elect 8
(10 × 10 cm knitted cotton dyed with 0). Two swatches are used as primary and secondary controls, respectively. The two remaining swatches are soaked for 20 minutes in an aqueous solution containing 1% (w / w) of the cellulose reactive dye fixative to be tested. Remove the sample and dry it thoroughly. One of the fully dried treated swatches is passed ten times through an ironing calendar adjusted to the "linen fabric" temperature setting. Also, place the first control sample on the ironing calendar at the same temperature setting.
Pass twice.

All four swatches (two control swatches and two treated swatches, one of each of which has been treated by an ironing calendar) were separately prepared under typical conditions in a rounder meter pot. After washing for 1/2 hour at 60 ° C. with a commercial detergent used at the recommended dose, rinse thoroughly with 4 × 200 ml of cold water and then line dry.

The color fastness is then measured by comparing the DE value of a new untreated swatch to the four swatches tested. The DE value and the calculated color difference are as per ASTM D2
244. In general, the DE value is determined by tristimulus values when calculated by the CIE1976 CIELAB opponent color space, the Hunter opponent color space, the Freele-Mac-Adam-Tickering color space, or a specified set of color difference equations defined in a uniform color space. It is related to the magnitude and direction of the difference between the two psychophysical color stimuli defined by the chromaticity coordinates and the luminance factor. For the purposes of the present invention, the lower the DE value of a sample, the closer the sample is to the untreated sample and the greater the color fastness benefit.

If the DE value of the swatches treated in the ironing step has a better value than the two control swatches, since the test involves selection or a cellulose reactive dye fixative, the candidate is considered for the purposes of the present invention. It is a cellulose reactive dye fixative.
