Description

COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING CARE POLYMERS

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present application relates to care polymers and fabric and home care compositions comprising such care polymers, as well as processes for making and using such care polymers and such compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Care polymers, including silicones, are used in premium consumer products as well as in many other applications to provide benefits such as softness, hand, , color protection, etc. Unfortunately, such care polymers are incompatible with a variety of other ingredients of such compositions, for example, anionic surfactants, and/or are expensive due to the cost of silicone raw materials and the silicone emulsification step that is required to make such silicones useful in products. Thus, what is needed is an economical, stable care polymer technology with reduced incompatibility issues.

Fortunately, Applicants recognized that the source of the incompatibility and stability issues was the charge of current care polymers and such polymers' stiffness as due to such polymers' high glass transition temperature. Thus, Applicants discovered that by judiciously selecting or synthesizing nonionic care polymers that have the correct glass transition temperature, the incompatibility and stability issues could be resolved and yet the required performance can be obtained. The performance of the care polymers that Applicants teach, can be further increased by following the emulsification teachings of the present specification and/or by combining such care polymers with silicone materials.

characterization indicates a number average molecular weight of 1200 Daltons.

Example 2 is an example of making emulsions of Care polymers

38.4g distilled water is weighed in a glass jar. While mixing at 250-300 rpm with an Ika RW-20 digital overhead mixer, with 3.6 g of tallowyl ethylhexyl dimethyl ammonium methosulfate (available from Akzo Chemicals, Chicago, IL under the trade name Arquad^® HT8MS), 13.0g of alkyl ethoxylate available from BASF A.G. Ludwigshafen, Germany under the trade name Lutensol^® XL-100 and 8.0g Lutensol^® XL-60 in 8 :5 ratio. In a separate jar under the same conditions, 35g poly(isobutene) MW 1000 and lOg isododecane are mixed for 5 minutes. This mixture is then added to the first mixture in 4 approximately equal portions, letting the emulsion stir for at least 15 minutes between additions. After the final addition, the solution is mixed for 25 more minutes and then homogenized with an Ika T25 Basic homogenizer on low setting for 1 minute, medium setting for 2 minutes, and high for 2 minutes to yield an emulsion. The weight average particle size of emulsion is measured using a Horiba LA 930 particle size. Poly(isobutene) of Example 2 can be replaced by other Care polymers to produce equivalent emulsions.
