A process for the preparation of a powder comprising one or more complexing agent salts of the general formula comprises atomizing an aqueous solution comprising the one or more complexing agent salts in the presence of a crystalline fine dust of the same complexing agent salts and a drying step, wherein the concentration of the one or more complexing agent salt is from 10 to 80% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous solution, with an upper limit for the average particle diameter of the crystalline fine dust which is lower by at least a factor of 2 than the lower limit of the average particle diameter of the powder obtained after the process, and the fraction of the crystalline fine dust is from 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the weight of the powder obtained after the process.

Process for the preparation of a powder comprising one or more complexing agent salts

The present invention relates to compositions comprising granules of phthalocyanine compounds, to a process for the preparation thereof, and to the use thereof in washing agent and additive formulations. The composition comprises a) At least one water-soluble phthalocyanine compound; b) At least one cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone component; c) At least one hydrophilic binding agent; and, optionally, d) Further additives suitable for the preparation of solid agglomerates; and may be liquid, solid, paste-like or gel-like.

Phthalocyanine-containing granules to decrease phthalocyanine deposition on textiles

The present invention relates to compositions having granules of phthalocyanine compounds, to a process for the preparation thereof, and to the use thereof in washing agent and additive formulations. The composition has:

Laundry detergent composition comprising water-soluble phthalocyanine compound

The present invention relates to formulations comprising water-soluble granulates of phthalocyanine compounds, to a process for the preparation thereof, and to the use thereof in washing agent and washing agent additive formulations.

Formulations comprising water-soluble granulates

The present invention is directed to polymeric compounds comprising a main backbone derived from at least the following monomeric components: (I) 20 to 99.9% by weight, preferably 50% to 99% by weight, of at least one cationic monomer according to formula (I), and (II) 0.1 to 80% by weight of a hydrophobic unsaturated nonionic monomer that polymerizes in the presence of an initiator, optionally a water-soluble monomer (III) different from either monomer (I) and monomer (II), and optionally a crosslinking agent (IV). Said compounds are particularly useful to overcome the problem of dye bleeding and/or dye transfer in laundry processes. 

Hydrophobically modified polymers as laundry additives

A process for improving the sun protection factor (SPF) of cellulosic fibre materials and blends thereof, which comprises contacting said materials with at least one compound of the formula (1) in which M is hydrogen, an alkali metal atom, ammonium or a cation formed from an amine; Rand R' independently of each other are hydrogen, hydroxy, optionally substituted alkyl, 4-morpholinyl, &#x2014;NH&#x2014;R, &#x2014;N(R)or &#x2014;O&#x2014;Rwherein Ris optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted aryl, Ris a group of formula (2) wherein X is &#x2014;O&#x2014; or &#x2014;NH&#x2014; and Ris C-C-alkyl which carries at least one hydrophilic substituent and R&#x2032; has the meaning of Ror R.
