Description

  The present invention relates to a recontamination inhibitor for garment cleaning agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to a recontamination inhibitor for liquid detergents for clothing and a liquid detergent containing the same.

  In recent years, liquid clothing cleaning agents are frequently used as clothing cleaning agents used for washing clothes. Liquid clothing cleaners are superior to powder clothing cleaners in that they have good solubility in water, do not flake, and can be applied directly to dirt to provide a high cleaning effect. Conventionally, as a recontamination preventing agent used for powder liquid clothing detergents, polymers obtained by graft polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer such as (meth) acrylic acid to polyether (see Patent Document 1), unsaturated Polymers obtained by polymerizing monomers such as carboxylic acids and (meth) acrylic acid esters (see Patent Document 2) are known, and attempts to use them as anti-contamination agents for liquid clothing detergents It has been. However, the conventional anti-contamination agent for powder clothing detergents has a problem that the blending amount cannot be increased because the blending stability when blended with a liquid clothing detergent is poor. In recent years, drum-type washing machines have come to be used from the viewpoints of water saving and energy saving. However, the amount of water during washing is less than that of conventional vertical aquarium washing machines, and conventional liquid clothing detergents. The recontamination preventive agent has a problem that the recontamination prevention performance is insufficient and recontamination occurs remarkably.
