The present invention relates to aqueous personal care, household care, and/or fabric care compositions comprising the instant copolymers. Also disclosed are methods for the rheological modification of aqueous personal care, household care, and/or fabric care compositions comprising the instant copolymers.

Copolymers useful as rheology modifiers and home and personal care compositions comprising said copolymers

This invention relates to thickened aqueous formulations containing cross-linked cationic polymers, novel homo- and copolymers, their production and their use as thickeners for household formulations.

Aqueous polymer formulations

This invention relates to fabric softener compositions comprising a fabric softener component or a mixture of fabric softener components and at least one polymer formed from the polymerization of c) a water soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer or blend of monomers comprising at least one cationic monomer and/or at least one non-ionic monomer, d) a cross-linking agent or a mixture of cross-linking agents in an amount of less than 5 ppm by the weight of component a), and c) optionally at least one chain transfer agent, with the proviso that (i) if the polymer is a cationic homopolymer then the amount of the crosslinking agent is always more than 0 ppm, as thickeners, as well as to new fabric softener compositions.

Fabric softener compositions comprising homo- and/or copolymers

This invention relates to thickened aqueous formulations containing cross-linked cationic polymers, novel homo- and copolymers their production and their use as thickeners for household formulations.

Aqueous fabric softener formulations comprising copolymers of cationic acrylates and N-alkyl acrylamides

The invention relates to aqueous compositions, preferably aqueous compositions comprising at least one polymer with a particle size of more than 10 &#x3bc;m, formed from the polymerisation of a) at least one monomer of formula (I), wherein R, signifies hydrogen or methyl, Rsignifies hydrogen or C-Calkyl, Rsignifies C-Calkylene, R, Rand Rsignify independently from each other hydrogen or C-Calkyl, X signifies &#x2014;O&#x2014; or &#x2014;NH&#x2014; and Y signifies Cl; Br; l; hydrogen-sulphate or methosulfate, b) and/or at least one non-ionic monomer, c) at least one cross-linking agent in an amount of 0-50 ppm by the weight of component a) and b) optionally at least one chain transfer agent with the proviso that (i) if the polymer is a cationic homopolymer then the amount of the crosslinking agent is always more than 0 ppm and less than 50 ppm.
