Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition, in particular a heavy duty liquid detergent (HDL) that is clear or translucent and aesthetically appealing and comprises surfactant, propylene glycol, and at least one soil release polymer.
- HDL heavy duty liquid detergent
- the invention further relates to methods for washing of textiles using the detergents of the invention as well as the respective use thereof.
- Liquid detergent compositions are well-known in the art and widely used. Over recent years, they have become more and more popular with the consumers because they offer a number of advantages over solid compositions, including, for example, the ease of dosing, dispensing and dissolving into a laundering liquor. In addition, they are perceived to be safer and less harsh to the textiles and environment compared to solid compositions. In particular for laundering colored fabrics they have gained popularity ever since their introduction on the market. While advantageous with respect to ease of handling and consumer acceptance, many known compositions suffer from the drawback that they either have low contents of active ingredients, especially surfactants, or are comparably instable over extended periods of storage, i.e. they are prone to undergo phase separation or precipitation of some components over time. However, it would be highly desirable to have liquid detergent compositions available that simultaneously exhibit high compaction and long-term storage stability, as the high compaction allows for lesser weight and easier handling while the storage stability ensures that the product stays aesthetically pleasing even over extended periods of storage.
- a liquid detergent composition comprising relatively high amounts of synthetic surfactant and propylene glycol and at least one soil release polymer (SRP) is influenced not only by the amounts of the individual components but also their ratios with respect to each other.

Description
..Stable liquid detergent comprising soil release polymer"
The present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition, in particular a heavy duty liquid detergent (HDL) that is clear or translucent and aesthetically appealing and comprises surfactant, propylene glycol, and at least one soil release polymer. The invention further relates to methods for washing of textiles using the detergents of the invention as well as the respective use thereof.
Liquid detergent compositions are well-known in the art and widely used. Over recent years, they have become more and more popular with the consumers because they offer a number of advantages over solid compositions, including, for example, the ease of dosing, dispensing and dissolving into a laundering liquor. In addition, they are perceived to be safer and less harsh to the textiles and environment compared to solid compositions. In particular for laundering colored fabrics they have gained popularity ever since their introduction on the market. While advantageous with respect to ease of handling and consumer acceptance, many known compositions suffer from the drawback that they either have low contents of active ingredients, especially surfactants, or are comparably instable over extended periods of storage, i.e. they are prone to undergo phase separation or precipitation of some components over time. However, it would be highly desirable to have liquid detergent compositions available that simultaneously exhibit high compaction and long-term storage stability, as the high compaction allows for lesser weight and easier handling while the storage stability ensures that the product stays aesthetically pleasing even over extended periods of storage.
Thus, there is a need for sustainable liquid detergent compositions with high compaction which are long-term stable and meet high aesthetic standards. To fulfill this need is especially hard if the amount of anionic surfactant in the liquid detergent is to be higher than the amount of nonionic surfactant.
It has surprisingly been found by the inventors that the stability of a liquid detergent composition comprising relatively high amounts of synthetic surfactant and propylene glycol and at least one soil release polymer (SRP) is influenced not only by the amounts of the individual components but also their ratios with respect to each other. Specifically, it has been found that when synthetic anionic surfactants, synthetic nonionic surfactants, propylene glycol and SRPs are used within predetermined concentration ranges, highly concentrated, clear or translucent detergent products that meet the above need can be provided.
Thus, in a first aspect, the present invention relates to an aqueous liquid detergent composition comprising, relative to the total weight of the liquid detergent composition, 15 wt.% to 45 wt.%, preferably 32 wt.% to 35 wt.%, of non-soap surfactant; 0.5 wt.% to 50 wt.%, preferably 10 wt.% to 20 wt.%, of propylene glycol; 0.01 wt.% to 10 wt.%, preferably 0.9 wt.% to 2.5 wt.%, of at least one soil release polymer (SRP); and up to 84.49 wt.%, preferably 5 wt.% to 35 wt.%, more preferably 15 wt.% to 25 wt.%, water; wherein the weight ratio of non-soap anionic surfactant to nonionic surfactant is at least 1.2, preferably at least 1.25;

1 : one phase, clear
2: one phase, translucent
3: one phase, slightly turbid
4: one phase, turbid
5: small phase separation; upper phase turbid
6: > 25 vol% of total filling height phase separation; upper phase turbid

9: 2 separate liquid phases; precipitation at the bottom
10: more than 2 liquid and 1 solid phases
If X of a composition is calculated according to the formula given above, values below 1 and even negative values may result. Those composistions will be graded with X = 1 when X is determined by optical grading of at least two experimentalists by using the scale given above.
