To modify the copolymers, it i5 possible to include monomers of group ~d) in amounts of up to 5% by weight, based on the total amount of monomers used in the polymerization. The monomers of group (d) are cross-linker~, for example N,N-methyleneb;sacrylamide, esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and maleic acid with polyhydric alcohols and polyalkylene glycol~, these esters having at lea~t two monoethylenically unsaturated double bonds, eg. glycol diacrylate, glycol dimethacry-late, glycerol ~riacrylate, glycerol trimethacrylatQ, polyethylene glycol diacrylate~ derived from polyalkylene glycols of molecular weight 96 - ca. 2,000, and al~o the corresponding polyethylene glycol dimethacrylatesl ~: 20 polyethylene glycol dimaleate~ o~ polyethylene ~lycols of i molecular weights of up to 2,000, glycol dimaleate and also doubly acrylated or methacrylated polyols, such a~

It is of course al~o possible to carry out the polymerization in the presence of both regulators and monomers of group (d), the crosslinkers.
The monomers are subjected to a polymerization initiated with a free radical initiator. Suitable initia-tors for the polymerization are consequently all com-pounds which ~orm free radicals under the polymerization conditions, such a~ azo compound~ and peroxides. This also includes redox systems. Preference i9 given to water-soluble initiator~ such as persulfates r eg. sodium persulfate, potas~ium persulfatQ and ammonium persulfate, and hydrogen peroxide.

- 7 - O.Z. 0050/41484 copolymers are to have a relatively high maleic acid content, the amount of initiator used will be toward the ~op end of the above-described range, while copolymers which are to contain from 65 to about 80~ by wei.ght of maleic acid as copolymerized units are prepared using initiator quantities within the range from 0.5 to 12% by weight.
The polymerization is carried out with aqueou~
solutions of the monomers. The concentrations of the monomers in ~hQ aqueous solution is customarily from 10 to 70, preferably from 20 to 60, % by weight. The monomers are customarily polymerized within the tempera-ture range from 70 to 150C, preferably from 80 to 130C.
Particular prefexence i~ given to polymeri~ing under :: 15 boiling conditions of the reaction mixture. If the polymerization temperature is above the boiling point o:~
the reaction mixture, an appropriately designed p:ressure apparatus is u ed. ~he polymerization can of cour~e also be carried out under reduced pre~ure. However, it is m~st 8imply carried out at atmospheric pres~ure. A~ is cu~tomary with polymerizations, the polymeri2ation is carried out with the exclu ion of oxygen, for example in an inert gas atmo~phere, eg. under nitrogen. During the ~; polymerization it i~ ad~antageou~ to en3ure thorough :~ 25 mixing of the reactants. This can be achieved for example i~ any r3actor which is equipped ~ith a stirrer, for example a hor~eshoe stirrer.
According to the presPnt invention, tha degree of neutralization of the acid group-containing monomers is ad~usted to 52 - 70~ during the homopolymerization or copolymerizatLon, so that the polymer~ ob~ained after the polymerization ha~ ended are already partially neutral-: ized in that the acid group-containing monomer~ present a~ copolymeri~ed unit~ have been neutralized to 52 - 70%, proferably 55 - 65%.

After all the monomer (c) has been added this then too produces a partially neutralized copolymer having a degree of neutralization in respect of the copolymerized acid groups of from 52 to 70%, preferably from 55 to 65%. If copolymer~ are to be prepared ~rom monomers (a) and (b) or from (a) and acid group-free monomer ~c) and option-ally monomer (d) or from monomers (a) and (b), acid group-free monomers (c~ and optionally monomer~ ~d), it is preferable first to intro~uce ~he monomers of group ~a) in the form of a 10-70% strength aqueou~ solution having a degree of neutralization of from 52 to 70~, preferably from 55 to 65~, and then to add the comonomer~

Preferred monomers o~ this group are acrylic acid, methacrylïc acid and acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid.
To modify the copolymers, it i5 possible to include monomers of group ~d) in amounts of up to 5% by weight, based on the total amount of monomers used in the polymerization. The monomers of group (d) are cross-linker~, for example N,N-methyleneb;sacrylamide, esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and maleic acid with polyhydric alcohols and polyalkylene glycol~, these esters having at lea~t two monoethylenically unsaturated double bonds, eg. glycol diacrylate, glycol dimethacry-late, glycerol ~riacrylate, glycerol trimethacrylatQ, polyethylene glycol diacrylate~ derived from polyalkylene glycols of molecular weight 96 - ca. 2,000, and al~o the corresponding polyethylene glycol dimethacrylatesl ~: 20 polyethylene glycol dimaleate~ o~ polyethylene ~lycols of i molecular weights of up to 2,000, glycol dimaleate and also doubly acrylated or methacrylated polyols, such a~

- To prepare polymer~ having a particularly low K
value, the monomers are polymerized in the presence of regulators. Suitable ragulators are for example mercapto compound~, such as mercaptoethanol, mercap~opropanol, mercaptobutanol, merc~ptoacetic acid, mercaptopropionic acid, butylmercaptan and dodecylmercaptan. Other suitable regulator~ are allyl compound~ ~uch a~ allyl alcohol, hydroxylamine, formic acid, ethylene glycol, propylene ', ' , ~`

If the polymerization is carried out in the presence of regula-tors, they are used in an amount of from 0.05 to 20% hy weight. It is of course al~o possible to carry out the polymerization in the presence of both regulators and monomers of group (d), the crosslinkers.
The monomers are subjected to a polymerization initiated with a free radical initiator. Suitable initia-tors for the polymerization are consequently all com-pounds which ~orm free radicals under the polymerization conditions, such a~ azo compound~ and peroxides. This also includes redox systems. Preference i9 given to water-soluble initiator~ such as persulfates r eg. sodium persulfate, potas~ium persulfatQ and ammonium persulfate, and hydrogen peroxide. Especially in tho~e ca~es where the polymerization i5 carried out at relatively low temperatures it i~ advantageou~ to use redox initiators ~ 20 to ~peed up the reaction. Such redox initiator system~

It i9 also posslble to use heavy m2tal~, such a~ iron, copper, nickel, chromium, manganese and vanadLum ion~, in the form of soluble salts as redox component. The heavy metal ion~ are added in amount~ of from 0.1 to 100, preferably from 0.1 to 10, ppm~ It is advanta~eous in ~ome in~tances to use not only reducing agents bu~ also heavy metal ions, If reducing a~ents are present in the catalyst sy~tem, their amount i~ fr~m 0.1 ~o 10, preferably from 0.2 to 5, % by weight, based on the monomers. ~he polymerization initiator3 are used in amounts of from 0,5 to 20, preferably from 2 ~o 13, ~ by weight, based on the monomersO If the homopolymers or ' ~

The polymerization is carried out with aqueou~
solutions of the monomers. The concentrations of the monomers in ~hQ aqueous solution is customarily from 10 to 70, preferably from 20 to 60, % by weight. The monomers are customarily polymerized within the tempera-ture range from 70 to 150C, preferably from 80 to 130C.
Particular prefexence i~ given to polymeri~ing under :: 15 boiling conditions of the reaction mixture. If the polymerization temperature is above the boiling point o:~
the reaction mixture, an appropriately designed p:ressure apparatus is u ed. ~he polymerization can of cour~e also be carried out under reduced pre~ure. However, it is m~st 8imply carried out at atmospheric pres~ure. A~ is cu~tomary with polymerizations, the polymeri2ation is carried out with the exclu ion of oxygen, for example in an inert gas atmo~phere, eg. under nitrogen. During the ~; polymerization it i~ ad~antageou~ to en3ure thorough :~ 25 mixing of the reactants. This can be achieved for example i~ any r3actor which is equipped ~ith a stirrer, for example a hor~eshoe stirrer.
According to the presPnt invention, tha degree of neutralization of the acid group-containing monomers is ad~usted to 52 - 70~ during the homopolymerization or copolymerizatLon, so that the polymer~ ob~ained after the polymerization ha~ ended are already partially neutral-: ized in that the acid group-containing monomer~ present a~ copolymeri~ed unit~ have been neutralized to 52 - 70%, proferably 55 - 65%.

After all the monomer (c) has been added this then too produces a partially neutralized copolymer having a degree of neutralization in respect of the copolymerized acid groups of from 52 to 70%, preferably from 55 to 65%. If copolymer~ are to be prepared ~rom monomers (a) and (b) or from (a) and acid group-free monomer ~c) and option-ally monomer (d) or from monomers (a) and (b), acid group-free monomers (c~ and optionally monomer~ ~d), it is preferable first to intro~uce ~he monomers of group ~a) in the form of a 10-70% strength aqueou~ solution having a degree of neutralization of from 52 to 70~, preferably from 55 to 65~, and then to add the comonomer~

The only requirement is tha~ the acid group-containing units (c) and (a) present in the copolymer ha~e a total degree of neutralization of from 52 to 70%. But in some in~tances it may also be advanta~eous to add the acid group-containi~g monomers (c) in a partially or completely neutralized form, in which case, however, the initially introduced monomers (a) must then be neutralized to a correspondingly smaller percentage.
The neutralizing agent used is an al~ali metal base, ammonia or an amine. Preference is given tc~ using sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Suitable amine~ :

The process according to the pre~ent invention : ~ 35 gives polymers having R value~ of from 7 to 50, prefer-ably from 8 to 30 (measured at 25C on 1% streng~h aqueous solution~ of the polymers ad~usted to pH 7 with ,....

invention contain relatively low levels of residual monomers of group (a). The residual monomer level of S maleic acid i5 for example not more than loS%~ base~ on solids. The polymer~ thus obtainable can therefore be directly used for the intended purpo~e~ or after complete neutralization. The homopolymers and copolymers are usable for example as additives in fabric and dishwashing detergent compositions in amounts o~E from O.l to 15~ by weight, in either case based on the formulation as a whole~
Dishwashing compositions contain for example from 5 to 20% by weight of an ammonium or alkali metal carbon-ate or of an ammonium or alkali me~al ~ulfate, at least 2~ ~y weight o~ an alkali metal 3ilicate and from 0.5 to 8~ by weight of a low-foam surfactant and al~o, as a - further essential component, a polymer obtainable by the ~: proces~ according to the present invention, ~hey may ; : 20 contain up to 94~ by weight of sodium ~ilicate and up to ~ about 50% by weight of an ammonium or alkali metal ;~ carbonate or ~ulfate.

In many cases it is necessary for this purpose that the polymer solutions obtained in the polymerization can be dried to a powder or granules in customary dryers ~uch a~ drum dryers, spray dryers or combined spray/fluidized bed dryers.
The polymers act as incru~ation inhibitors and pigment soil dispersants in the detergents. They can be u~ed not only in liquid but also in pulverulent deter-gents and cleaners. Compared with the copolymers of monomers ~a) and acid group-containing monomers ~c) disclosed in EP-B~0 025 551, they ~how in particular Lmproved compatibility in liquid detergent formulations.
~he compositions of detergant formulation3 can vary widely. The same i8 true of the compo~itions of clea~er formulation~. Detergent and cleaner formulation~
customarily contain surfactants with or without builder~.
This applies not only to liquid but al90 to pulverulent detergent and cleaner foDmulation~.

Detergent formulations and cleaner formulations are pulverulent or liquid. They may vary in composition by region and according to the specific intended use.
Univer~al household detergents for drum type washing machines of the type widely used in Europe usually contain from 5 to 10~ by weight of anionic suractants, from 1 to 5% by weigh~ of nonionic surfac~
tants, from 1 to 5~ by weight of foam regulators, such as silicone oils or soaps, from 0 to 40% by weight of a water softener, such as sodium carbo~ate or pentasodium triphosphate, which may be replaced in whole or :in part by the compounds according to the present invention, from 0 to 30% by weight o~ an ion exchanger such as zeolite A, from 2 to 7% by weight o sodium silicate as co:rrosion inhibitors, from 10 to 30~ by weight o~ bleaching agents, ~uch as sodium perborate, sodium perGarbonate, organic peracid~ or salt~ thereof, ~rom 0 to 5% by weigh~ of bleach activators, such a~ tetraacatylethylenadiamine, pentaacetylglucose, hexaacetyl~orbi~ol or acyloxybenzene-~ulfonate, stabilizer~, such as magne~ium silicate or ethylenediaminetetraace~ate, grayne3~ inhibitors, such as carbvxymethylcellulo~e, methylalkylcellulose and hydroxy-~- 25 alkylcellulose, polyglycols grafted wi~h vinyl acetate, oligomeric and polymeric terephthalic acid/ethylene glycol/polyethylene glycol est8r3, enzymes, fluo:rescent whitening agents, scents, fabric ~oftener~, dyes, and diluents.

Detergents for easy-care and colored fabrics, wool detergents and manual wash S detergents likewise usually contain no bleaching ag~nts and low levels of alkaline ingredients together with an appropria~ely increased ~urfactant co:ntent.
Detergents for the commercial sector are designed for the special conditions of industrial wa~hing ( 50~t water, continuQus washing) which make it possible to customize the de~ergent to the type of article being washed and to the nature of the soil. Combinations are therefore used in which one ingredient predominates or others are completely ab~ent on~y to be added separately lS whe~ requixed. For this reason the surfactants, builders, alkalis and hleaching agents of these detergents vary within wide limit~.
5uitable anionic ~urfactants for the afore-mentioned pulverulent detergent~, or washing powder~, are for example sodium alkylbenzenesul~onates, fatty alcohol ~ulfates and fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfate Individual compound~ of this type are for example Ca-Cl2-;alkylbenzenesulfonate~, Cl2-Cl6-alkanesulfonates, Cl2-Cl6-alkyl~ulfates, Clz Cl6-alkylsulfo3uccinate~ and sulfated etho~ylated C12-C16-a}kanols. Other suitable anionic ~uractants are ~ulfated fatty acid alkanolamines, ~-~ulfo fatty acid esters, fatty acid monoglycerides or reaction products of from 1 to 4 mol of ethylene oxide with primary or secondary fatty alcohols or alkylphenols.
F~rther suitable anionic surfactan~s are fatty acid ester~ and fatty acid amides of hydroxy- or amino-carbox-ylic or -sulfonic acids, for sxample the fatty acid sarcoside~, glycolates, lactate~, tauridea or isethion-akes. The anionic 3urfactants can bo present in the form of the ~odium, potassium and ammonium salt3 and al~o aa solubla salta of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine or other substituted amines.

Suitable nonionic surfactants ~nonionics) are for example addition products of from 3 to 40, preferably from 4 to 20, mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of fatty alcohol, alkylphenol, fatty acid, fatty amine, fatty acid amide or alkanesulfonamide. The abovementioned addition products of ethylene oxide may additionally contain up to 90% by weight of propylene o~ide as copolymerized unit, based on the polymerized ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The addition products which contain ethylene oxide and propylene oxide may be modified by incorporation of butylene oxide in amounts of up to 60% by weight, based on the total alkylene oxide content. Of particular importance are the addition products of 5 ~o 16 mol of ethylene oxide with coco or tallow fatty alcohol~, with oleyl alcohol or with synthetic alcohvls of from ~ to 18, preferably fxom 12 to 18, carbon atoms, and also with mono- or dialkylphenols having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl moietie~. Besides these water-soluble nonionic~, however, it is als~ pos~ible to usa water-insoluble or incompletely water-soluble polyglycol ethers havin~ from 1 to 4 ethylene glycol ether moieties in the molecule, in particular if they are used together with water-soluble nonionic or anionic surfactants.
Further usable nonionic surfactants are th~

Further possible formulation ingredients of detergents include monomeric, oligomeric and polymeric phosphonates, ether sulfonate~ based on unsaturated fatty alcohols, eg. oleyl alcohol ethoxylate butyl ether, and alkali metal salts thereof. The~e substances can be characterized for example with the aid of the formula RO(CH2CH2O)n-C4H~-$O3Na, whare n is from S to 40 and R is oleyl.
The above-described pol~mers may also be used as additives in liquid detergents. Liquid detergents contain liquid surfactants or else solid surfactants which are soluble or at least dispersible in the detergent formula ~ion. 5uitable surfactan~s for this purpose are those products which are also used in pulverulent detexgent~, : and also liquid polyalkylene oxides or polyalkoxylated compounds. If the pol~mers are not directly miscible with the other constituent~ of the liquid detergent, it i~
possible to prepare homogeneou~ mixtures with ~he aid of ' ~ a small amount of a ~olubilizer~ for example water or a water-miscible organic 301vent ~ eg . isopropanol, ' methanol, ethanol, glycol, diethylene glycol o.r triethyl-; ene glycol or correspondlng propylene glycol~.

Water-free liquid datergent~ may al~o contain peroxo compounds ~or bleaohing in suspended or di~per3ed form. Examples of suitable peroxo compounds are: ~odium perborate, peroxocarboxylic acids and polymer~ having i; ~ som~ peroxo-containing group~. Liquid detergent~ may al90 .

process according to the present invention can also be used in textile washing detergent compositions, herein-after sLmply called detergent~. In many cases it is necessary for this purpose that the polymer solutions obtained in the polymerization can be dried to a powder or granules in customary dryers ~uch a~ drum dryers, spray dryers or combined spray/fluidized bed dryers.
The polymers act as incru~ation inhibitors and pigment soil dispersants in the detergents. They can be u~ed not only in liquid but also in pulverulent deter-gents and cleaners. Compared with the copolymers of monomers ~a) and acid group-containing monomers ~c) disclosed in EP-B~0 025 551, they ~how in particular Lmproved compatibility in liquid detergent formulations.
~he compositions of detergant formulation3 can vary widely. The same i8 true of the compo~itions of clea~er formulation~. Detergent and cleaner formulation~
customarily contain surfactants with or without builder~.
This applies not only to liquid but al90 to pulverulent detergent and cleaner foDmulation~. Examples o compo~i-tions of dete~gent formulations customary in Europe, the VSA and Japan are found in tabla form for example in Chemical and Engn. New~ 67 (1989)~ 35, and in Ullmann3 Encyklop~die der techni~chen Chemie, Verlag Chemie, ~; 25 Weinheim 1983, 4th edition, page~ 63-160.
The above-Ae~cribed polymers are u~ed according to the pre e~t invention in detergents which contain up to 45% by weight of phosphate, although the u~e of the polymer3 in detergent~ having a reduced pho3phate content (~o be under~tood a~ meaning a phosphate content of less : than 25% by weight of Rodium tripho~phate) or in phos-phate-free d~terg2nt~ and also in cleaners is preferred.
The polymer~ may be added to the detergent formulation in the form of granule~, a~ a pa~te~ a~ a highly vi3cou~
mass, a~ a disper3ion or aq a solutiQn in a olvent. The polymer~ can al~o be adsorbed at the ~urface o~ colorle~s diluents, for exa~ple ~odium sulfate, or b~ilder~ (zeo-'~

Detergent formulations and cleaner formulations are pulverulent or liquid. They may vary in composition by region and according to the specific intended use.
Univer~al household detergents for drum type washing machines of the type widely used in Europe usually contain from 5 to 10~ by weight of anionic suractants, from 1 to 5% by weigh~ of nonionic surfac~
tants, from 1 to 5~ by weight of foam regulators, such as silicone oils or soaps, from 0 to 40% by weight of a water softener, such as sodium carbo~ate or pentasodium triphosphate, which may be replaced in whole or :in part by the compounds according to the present invention, from 0 to 30% by weight o~ an ion exchanger such as zeolite A, from 2 to 7% by weight o sodium silicate as co:rrosion inhibitors, from 10 to 30~ by weight o~ bleaching agents, ~uch as sodium perborate, sodium perGarbonate, organic peracid~ or salt~ thereof, ~rom 0 to 5% by weigh~ of bleach activators, such a~ tetraacatylethylenadiamine, pentaacetylglucose, hexaacetyl~orbi~ol or acyloxybenzene-~ulfonate, stabilizer~, such as magne~ium silicate or ethylenediaminetetraace~ate, grayne3~ inhibitors, such as carbvxymethylcellulo~e, methylalkylcellulose and hydroxy-~- 25 alkylcellulose, polyglycols grafted wi~h vinyl acetate, oligomeric and polymeric terephthalic acid/ethylene glycol/polyethylene glycol est8r3, enzymes, fluo:rescent whitening agents, scents, fabric ~oftener~, dyes, and diluents.
~ By contra~t, the heavy duty detergents which are widely u8ed in the USA, Japan and ne.ighborlng countries in tub type washing machine~ axe uAually frae of bleach ing agents, but on the other hand their anionics con~ent i~ tWQ or ~hrse times higher and they contain more wash alkalis, such a~ sodium carbonate and sodium silicates (in general up to 25~ by weight), but they usually also lack the bleach activators and xtabilizers.

2~3~3332 - 13 - O.Z. 0050/~14~4 surfactants and other ingredients can be apprec.iably higher in the case of detergent concentrates r which are available with little or no diluent. Detergents for easy-care and colored fabrics, wool detergents and manual wash S detergents likewise usually contain no bleaching ag~nts and low levels of alkaline ingredients together with an appropria~ely increased ~urfactant co:ntent.
Detergents for the commercial sector are designed for the special conditions of industrial wa~hing ( 50~t water, continuQus washing) which make it possible to customize the de~ergent to the type of article being washed and to the nature of the soil. Combinations are therefore used in which one ingredient predominates or others are completely ab~ent on~y to be added separately lS whe~ requixed. For this reason the surfactants, builders, alkalis and hleaching agents of these detergents vary within wide limit~.
5uitable anionic ~urfactants for the afore-mentioned pulverulent detergent~, or washing powder~, are for example sodium alkylbenzenesul~onates, fatty alcohol ~ulfates and fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfate Individual compound~ of this type are for example Ca-Cl2-;alkylbenzenesulfonate~, Cl2-Cl6-alkanesulfonates, Cl2-Cl6-alkyl~ulfates, Clz Cl6-alkylsulfo3uccinate~ and sulfated etho~ylated C12-C16-a}kanols. Other suitable anionic ~uractants are ~ulfated fatty acid alkanolamines, ~-~ulfo fatty acid esters, fatty acid monoglycerides or reaction products of from 1 to 4 mol of ethylene oxide with primary or secondary fatty alcohols or alkylphenols.
F~rther suitable anionic surfactan~s are fatty acid ester~ and fatty acid amides of hydroxy- or amino-carbox-ylic or -sulfonic acids, for sxample the fatty acid sarcoside~, glycolates, lactate~, tauridea or isethion-akes. The anionic 3urfactants can bo present in the form of the ~odium, potassium and ammonium salt3 and al~o aa solubla salta of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine or other substituted amines.

- 14 - o.Z. 0050/41484 anionic ~urfactants also includes the ordinary soaps, ie.
the alkali metal salts of natural fatty acid~.
Suitable nonionic surfactants ~nonionics) are for example addition products of from 3 to 40, preferably from 4 to 20, mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of fatty alcohol, alkylphenol, fatty acid, fatty amine, fatty acid amide or alkanesulfonamide. The abovementioned addition products of ethylene oxide may additionally contain up to 90% by weight of propylene o~ide as copolymerized unit, based on the polymerized ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The addition products which contain ethylene oxide and propylene oxide may be modified by incorporation of butylene oxide in amounts of up to 60% by weight, based on the total alkylene oxide content. Of particular importance are the addition products of 5 ~o 16 mol of ethylene oxide with coco or tallow fatty alcohol~, with oleyl alcohol or with synthetic alcohvls of from ~ to 18, preferably fxom 12 to 18, carbon atoms, and also with mono- or dialkylphenols having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl moietie~. Besides these water-soluble nonionic~, however, it is als~ pos~ible to usa water-insoluble or incompletely water-soluble polyglycol ethers havin~ from 1 to 4 ethylene glycol ether moieties in the molecule, in particular if they are used together with water-soluble nonionic or anionic surfactants.
Further usable nonionic surfactants are th~
water-~olubl~ addition products of ethylene oxide with poIypropylene glycol ether~, alkylenediaminopolypropylene glycol and al}~ylpolypropylene glycol~ having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain which contain from 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether group~ and from 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups, the po1ypropylana glycol ether chain acting a~ the hydrophobic moiety.
It is also po~sible to use nonionic surfactants of th~ type of the amine oxides or sulfoxides.
The foaming power of the 3urfactants can be increased or reduced by combining suitable surfactant '':

- 15 - O.Z. 0050/41484 types. A reduction can also he achieved by adding non-surfactantlike organic substances.
Further possible formulation ingredients of detergents include monomeric, oligomeric and polymeric phosphonates, ether sulfonate~ based on unsaturated fatty alcohols, eg. oleyl alcohol ethoxylate butyl ether, and alkali metal salts thereof. The~e substances can be characterized for example with the aid of the formula RO(CH2CH2O)n-C4H~-$O3Na, whare n is from S to 40 and R is oleyl.
The above-described pol~mers may also be used as additives in liquid detergents. Liquid detergents contain liquid surfactants or else solid surfactants which are soluble or at least dispersible in the detergent formula ~ion. 5uitable surfactan~s for this purpose are those products which are also used in pulverulent detexgent~, : and also liquid polyalkylene oxides or polyalkoxylated compounds. If the pol~mers are not directly miscible with the other constituent~ of the liquid detergent, it i~
possible to prepare homogeneou~ mixtures with ~he aid of ' ~ a small amount of a ~olubilizer~ for example water or a water-miscible organic 301vent ~ eg . isopropanol, ' methanol, ethanol, glycol, diethylene glycol o.r triethyl-; ene glycol or correspondlng propylene glycol~. The amount ~ 25 of surfactant in liquid deterqent3 is within the range } ~rom 4 to 50~ by weight, ba~ed on the formulation as a ¦ ~ whole, ~lnce in liquid detergent~ too the proportions of the ingredient~ vary within wide limits according to regional market conditions or the intended use.
- Liquid detergent3 may contain water in amounts of ' from 10 to 60, preferably from 20 to 50, ~ by weight. But they can al80 be free of water.
Water-free liquid datergent~ may al~o contain peroxo compounds ~or bleaohing in suspended or di~per3ed form. Examples of suitable peroxo compounds are: ~odium perborate, peroxocarboxylic acids and polymer~ having i; ~ som~ peroxo-containing group~. Liquid detergent~ may al90 .

contain hydrotropes . These are compounds such as 1, 2-propanediol, cumenesulonate and toluenesulfonate. If such compound~ are used for modifying a liquid detergent, their amount is from 2 to 5~ by weight, ba~ed on ~he total weight of the liquid detergent. Xn many cases an addition of complexing agents ha~ alqo proved advantage-ous for modifying pulverulent and liquid detergents.
Complexing agents are for example ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acidr nitrilotriacetate and isoserinediacetic acid and also phosphonates, such as aminotrismethylenephos-phonic acid, hydroxyethanediphosphonic acid, ethylene-diaminetetraethylenephosphonic acid and salts thereof.
Complexing agents are used in amounts of from 0 to 10~ by weight, bas~d on the detergent. Detergen~ may also contain citrates, di- ox triethanolamine, clouding agents, optical brighteners, enzymes, per~ume oils and dyes. These sub~tances, i~ they are used for modifying a liquid detergent, together account for up to 5% by weight. Detergents are preferably phosphAte-free. How-ever, they may also contain phosphatas, eg. penta~odium triphosphate and/or tetrapotas~ium pyrophosphate. If ; phosphate~ are used, they account for up to 45, prefer-ably up to ~5, ~ by weight of the total formulation of detergent.
The polymer~ oan al~o combine with o~her known detergent addi~ives (for exaMple grayness inhibitors, clay di~per~ant~, ~ubsta~ces which enhanc~ prLmary detergenGy, color transfer inhibitors, bleach activators) in pulveruIent and liquid deteryent~ (phosphate-contain-ing and pho~phate-free) to create synergistic effectY
~oosting not only the grayness inhibition but also the action of the o~her detergent additive.
The K values were determined by the method of H. Fikentscher, Cellulosechemie 13 (1932), 58 - 64, 71 -74; K=kx103. The measurement~ were carried out on 1%

~1338332 - 25 - O.Z. 0050/41484 The clay dispersion (CD) test described herein-after provides a simple means for testing the dispersing power of various polyelectrolytes.
CD test The model ~mployed to represent particulate soil is finely ground china clay SPS 151. 1 g of clay is thoroughly dispersed in 98 ml of water in the presence of 1 ml of a 0.1% strength sodium salt solution of the polyelectrolyte in a graduated cylinder (100 ml) for 10 minute~. Immediately after stirring, a 2.5 ml s~nple is taken from the center of the graduated cylinder and diluted with water to 25 ml to measure the cloudine~s of the di.~persion with a turbidLmeter. Further samples were taken after the dispexsion had stood for 30 and 60 : 15 minutes and assessed turbid~metrically. The cloudi.ne~s of the disper~ion is reported in N~Us (nephelometric turbidity units). The slower th2 rate of settling o f the ~ dispersion during storage, the higher th~ measured :~ turbidity values and the stabler the di~per~ion.
The second physical variabls determined is the disper~ion constant r~ which describes the time course of the sedimentation proce3s.
