Definitions

  • the present invention provides a soil release polyester polymer which is biodegradable and has favorable soil releasing and anti-greying performance.
  • the invention also provides a cleaning composition comprising the same.
  • Soil release agents are key ingredients in cleaning compositions, i.e., textiles, laundry and hard surfaces such as carpet-cleaning and textile treating.
  • the soil release compositions often contain polymers such as amphiphilic compounds based on a polyester backbone. These backbones can be copolymers of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acids or polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene glycol polyester polyether. These polymers consist of hydrophilic and hydrophobic units and are analogous to synthetic fibers such as those found in polyester fabrics which contain terephthalate, ethyleneoxy or propyleneoxy polymeric units.
  • the similarity in chemical structure of soil release polymers and polyester synthetic fabrics allow for binding or deposition of soil release polymers onto fibers and modify surface energy by imparting hydrophilic characteristics to fiber. This results in better cleaning by either retarding the attachment of oily soil to fibers and thus minimizes subsequent soiling or improving the wetting of fibers and susceptibility of a fabric to detergent during washing and thus, to facilitate soil removal.
  • Soil release polymers especially when they are formulated in cleaning formulations such as a fabric care composition, a dish cleaning composition, a home care composition, a personal care composition or a health care composition, are considered as environmental chemicals, i.e. substances that enter the environment after their use. These chemicals go down to the drain and enter receiving waters directly or after sewage treatment increasing the chemical load of surface waters. Rapid ultimate biodegradation of a soil release polymer to mineralization products (carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts) is most desirable mechanism for its ultimate removal from sewages, surface waters and soils.
