The present invention relates to a thickener preparable by a process which comprises obtaining a cationic polymer by inverse emulsion polymerization of

Thickener comprising at least one cationic polymer preparable by inverse emulsion polymerization

The present invention relates to a thickener comprising at least one cationic polymer and at least one activator. The at least one cationic polymer is preparable by polymerization of a) at least one water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising at least one cationic monomer, optionally at least one anionic monomer and/or optionally at least one nonionic monomer, b) at least one ethylenically unsaturated associative monomer, c) optionally at least one crosslinker, and d) optionally at least one chain transfer agent. The ratio of activator to cationic polymer is &#x3e;10 to 100 [% by weight/% by weight].

Thickener comprising at least one cationic polymer

The present invention relates to hydrophobically modified cationic polymers obtainable by the polymerization of one or more cationic ethylenically unsaturated monomers with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having anhydride, imide, lactone, carboxylic acid, isocyanate or blocked isocyanate group and a reactive siloxane and processes for preparing them. These polymers are useful i.a. as a depositioning aid of hydrophobic actives onto fibrous substrates.

Hydrophobically modified cationic polymer

The invention relates to copolymers which contain a) at least 15% by weight units of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, b) at least 15% by weight units of a C-C-alkylacrylats, c) less than 5% by weight units of methyl methacrylate, and are used as thickeners in liquid textile detergents. The copolymers can additionally contain units of a non-ionic ethylenically unsaturated surfactant monomer that are incorporated by polymerization. The thickeners are characterized by high thickening action, high shear thinning and low graying of the laundry after the washing process.

Use of a copolymer as thickener in liquid detergents having lower graying tendency

Fabric care composition comprising copolymers exhibit increased fabric active deposition and acceptable composition stringiness.

Fabric care compositions comprising copolymers

An alkaline laundry detergent for hand washing a fabric contains a sudsing surfactant, a polyethyleneimine suds collapser having the empirical formula (PEI)(EO)(PO)where a is about 100-100,000, b is about 0-60, and c is about from 0-60, and a pH control system When diluted to form a laundry liquor and during washing the pH control system maintains the pH of the laundry liquor above about 8.
