| abstract |
The invention relates to a stable aqueous dispersion comprising a multi-branched soil release/wetting agent having an oxygen-containing polyfunctional base compound and at least two surfactant branches attached thereto, wherein each surfactant branch includes at least one hydrophilic and at least one hydrophobic constituent, wherein the multi-branched soil release/wetting agent is in an amount of between 0.05 and 3% by weight of the aqueous dispersion and particles selected from the group consisting of inorganic, organic, and polymeric particles having a size range between 50nm and 45µm, wherein the particle dispersion is stable for at least 10 days at 40°C. Enhanced fabric conditioners and the method of applying the enhanced fabric conditioners are also discussed. |
