"TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS FOR FABRICS"

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fabric treatment composition comprising from 0.01% to 99% by wt. of a suds suppressing system, wherein the suds suppressing system is selected from silicone antifoam compounds, alcohol antifoam compounds, fatty acids, and paraffin antifoam compounds, poloxamer, polypropyleneglycol, dimethicone, tallow derivatives, light petroleum odorless hydrocarbons, fatty esters, fatty acids esters of monovalent alcohols, aliphatic C18-C40 ketone, N-alkylated amino triazines, bis stearic acid amidem monostearyl phosphates, phosphate esters, quarternary ammonium compounds, di-alkyl quarternary compounds, poly functionalised quaternary compounds, and nonionic polyhydroxyl derivatives, and mixtures thereof, said composition having a clarity value upon a 0.2% dilution of less than a 0.04% by weight of a dimethyl bis (steroyl oxyethyl) ammonium chloride aqueous solution and a suds reduction value of at least 50%, and the balance comprising optional adjunct ingredient.

A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition has an acidic pH in the range of 3 to 6.5. 3. A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the suds suppressing system is preferably selected from silicone antifoam compounds. 4. A composition as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the said optional adjunct ingredients comprises a stabilising agent, preferably selected from xanthan gum or derivatives thereof, alginate or a derivative thereof, polysaccharide polymers selected from substituted cellulose materials like ethoxylated cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and mixtures thereof. 5. A composition as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein said optional adjunct ingredient comprises an antibacterial agent. 6. A composition as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the optional adjunct ingredient comprises a buffering system, preferably selected from the group consisting of alkali metal salts of carbonates, polycarbonates, sesquicarbonates, silicates, polysilicates, borates, metaborates, phosphates, polyphosphates, aluminates, and mixtures thereof, and more preferably are selected from alkali metal salts of carbonates, phosphates, and mixtures thereof. 7. A composition as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the optional adjunct ingredient comprises a crystal growth inhibitor, preferably selected from carboxylic compounds, organic diphosphonic acids, organic monophosphonic acids, and mixtures thereof. 8. A composition as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the optional adjunct ingredient comprises a heavy metal ion sequestrant, preferably selected from organo aminophosphonates, nitrilotriacetic acid, polyaminocarboxylic, iminodiacetic acid, and mixtures thereof. 9. A composition as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the optional adjunct ingredient comprises a hydrophobic dispersant such as herein described. 10. A method of rinsing fabrics which comprises the steps of contacting the fabrics, previously contacted with an aqueous detergent liquor, with a composition as defined in any one of claims 1-9.
