SPECIALITY SURFACTANTS USED AS DYE TRANSFER INHIBITION AGENTS

摘要

A surfactant blend which is capable of functioning as a dye transfer inhibiting agent and as a cleaning agent in laundry detergents comprising a blend of at least two amine oxides and at least one cleaning agent selected from betaines, sultaines and mixtures thereof, said amine oxides being present in an amount of from about 50 to about 99 weight percent and said at least one cleaning agent being present in an amount of from about 1 to about 50 weight percent, with the proviso that no polymeric dye transfer inhibition agent such as PVD is present. The surfactant blend may further contain one or more amphoteric surfactants which can be added to the surfactant blend as an additional component or used in lieu of the amine oxides.
