    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to fabric care compositions which result in improved stain repellency of fabrics treated with the fabric care compositions. Fabric treatment compositions include a stain repellent composition comprising a hydrophobic fluid, a particulate material and a deposition aid which provides uniform and more efficient deposition of the stain repellent composition onto the surface of a textile material. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Improving the removal of dirt and stains is a constant goal of laundry detergent manufacturers. Despite the use of many effective surfactants and polymers, and combinations thereof, many products still do not offer complete removal of greasy/oily stains, colored stains and particulate dirt.
    An additional demand from consumers is for immediate or quick stain removal at the time the stain production event occurs, so that there is no residual stain production on clothing or fabrics due to accidental stain production.
    Fabrics, especially garments, can become soiled with a variety of foreign substances, from hydrophobic stains (grease, oil) to hydrophilic stains (clay). The level of cleaning that is required to remove these foreign substances depends largely on the amount of stains present and the degree to which the foreign substance has come in contact with the fabric fibers. An effective cleaning formulation is typically comprised of many technologies that aid in the removal of a variety of soils. Unfortunately, due to cost and formulation constraints, it is rare to find a cleaning formulation that effectively incorporates each of the above cleaning technologies to completely remove all the dirt and stains in question from fabrics or textiles. Additionally, the stain removal process 10 can be difficult and time-consuming, and at the same time incomplete or unsatisfactory stain removal can be frustrating and result in a ruined garment.
    One approach includes soil release polymers that operate through mechanisms such as providing a "removable film" of the hydrophilic polymer or other composition that can coat the fabric surface and at least to some extent prevent soil fixation. Oily on the surfaces of 20 fabric. The polymer can then be removed during laundry washing or other fabric treatment process, removing the oily dirt at the same time.
    Alternatively, treating fabrics so that stains and dirt do not effectively bond to the fabric or fiber surface can provide optimal fabric cleaning. In this approach, the stain or dirt does not bind or form strong attractive interactions with the fabric surface and can be readily removed from the fabric surface after laundry washing or other treatment process. One approach may be to treat the surface of the fabric or fiber during the manufacturing process to form the desired fabric or fiber surface that exhibits the desired stain repellency. With this approach, a disadvantage may be the reduction of stain repellency over time due to exposure to adverse environmental and washing effects. A second approach can be repeated surface treatment of the fabric or fiber during laundry washing or other fabric treatment process. With this approach, stain repellency characteristics can be renewed with each treatment or after a specific time.
    The lotus effect describes the observed superhydrophobic and self-cleaning property displayed by the leaves of the lotus plant. Although lotuses tend to grow in muddy climates, the leaves have a natural cleaning mechanism. The microscopic structure and surface chemistry of the sheets prevent them from being wetted by liquids having a contact angle greater than 90° with an unstructured surface of the same material. Since water droplets can have a contact angle of up to 170°, the droplets roll off the sheet surface, removing dirt and other contaminants with them. Applying a similar structure to a fabric or fiber surface can improve stain repellency.
    For effective stain repellency, any fabric treatment composition must demonstrate complete and even coverage of the treated garment. Deposition of a uniform layer of a stain repellent formulation onto a fabric or fiber surface presents several challenges and difficulties. The development of deposition aids that provide uniform application of stain repellency formulations is needed.
    Consumers would benefit from fabrics with improved stain repellency, particularly fabrics and garments they currently own or are not made of materials with inherent stain repellency characteristics. A fabric treatment composition that can be used to treat fabric, as a one-time treatment or with repeated treatments, and improve the stain repellent characteristics of fabrics would provide a benefit to consumers and other end users.

Compositions for fabric treatment
    The present disclosure provides fabric care compositions which provide improved stain repellency of fabrics treated with the fabric care composition. Improved stain repellency includes, for example, reduced binding of stain-making materials to the surface of the fabric or fiber so that the stain-making material is readily removed from the surface of the fabric or fiber using protocols. of laundry standards. The fabric treatment composition may be in the form of a single-use composition (i.e. the fabric, garment or article may be treated once or at least infrequently to maintain the stain repellency character) or it may be in the form of a multi-use composition (i.e., the fabric, garment, or article may be repeatedly treated with the composition to restore stain repellency characteristics).
    When treated with the fabric treatment composition, the surface of the fabric or fiber can be coated with a stain repellent coating comprising a hydrophobic fluid and a particulate material.
    Without wishing to be bound by any theory, the coating can provide an uneven hydrophobic surface, where the resulting coated stain repellent fabric has a coating comprising an emulsion of hydrophobic fluid and particulate material. The particulate material and the hydrophobic fluid provide a rough, uneven, or topographic coating on the fabric surface to which the stain-producing materials cannot effectively bond. For example, a potential mechanism that prevents effective spot binding might be similar to the lotus effect. As used herein, the term "lotus effect" can include a super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning property as seen with the leaves of the lotus plant. According to this theory, the microscopic structure and surface chemistry of the coated fabric prevent it from being wetted by liquids or stain producing materials that have a contact angle greater than 90° to an uncoated surface of the same material. As a result, the liquids do not adhere to the coated surface and instead tend to form spheres and roll off the surface, extracting and washing away debris and other materials from the fabric surface.
    In accordance with certain embodiments, the tissue treatment composition may comprise a suspension or emulsion comprising a hydrophobic fluid comprising silicon-containing portions or fluorine-containing portions, a particulate material having a particle size in the range of about 1 nanometer (nm) at about 10,000 nm, and an amphoteric or cationic oligomeric or polymeric deposition aid.

Deposit Assistant
    Referring now to cationic or amphoteric oligomeric/polymeric deposition aid, the deposition aid may be capable of providing efficient and uniform deposition of the hydrophobic fluid and particulate material on at least a portion of the tissue or fiber surface. As used herein, the term "uniform" means that the composition of the layer of hydrophobic fluid and particulate material in one section of fabric or fiber is substantially the same as other sections of fabric or fiber. The deposition aid of the present disclosure may be a cationic or amphoteric oligomer or polymer or a combination or blend of cationic and/or amphoteric oligomers and/or polymers that enhance the deposition of the tissue treatment composition onto the tissue or surface. fiber during the treatment process. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that in order to move the tissue treating agent over the tissue surface, the net charge of the deposition aid, such as a net positive charge, can be used to overcome repulsive interactions between the fabric treating agent and the fabric surface. For example, many fabrics (such as cotton, rayon, silk, wool, etc.) are made up of fibers that may have a slightly negative charge in an aqueous environment. In certain embodiments, an effective cationic or amphoteric polymer/oligomeric deposition aid can be characterized by strong binding ability with the present compositions and tissue care agents via physical forces such as van der Waals forces, and/or non-covalent chemical bonds such as hydrogen bonding and/or ionic bonding.
    In some embodiments, deposition aids may also have a strong affinity for natural fabric fibers such as cotton or wool fibers.
    In particular embodiments, the deposition aids described herein are water soluble and can have flexible molecular structures so that they can associate with the surface of a tissue treating agent particle or hold several of the particles together. Therefore, the deposition enhancing agent typically may not be cross-linked and typically does not have a network structure.
    According to certain embodiments of the tissue treatment composition of the present description, the cationic or amphoteric polymeric/oligomeric deposition aid can be a cationic polymer selected from the group consisting of a cationic polysaccharide, a cationic guar gum, a cationic lignin, a cationic polymer, an amine-containing polymer, an amide-containing polymer, and combinations of any thereof. The term "cationic polymer" refers to a polymer having a net cationic charge. Polymers containing amine groups or other protonable groups are included in the term "cationic polymer", with the polymer being protonated at the pH of the intended use. In specific embodiments, the cationic polymer can be a branched cationic polymer. For example, under certain embodiments, the cationic polymer may be a branched cationic polysaccharide, the polysaccharide having an alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond fraction of at least about 0.01 to about 1.0 .
    In another aspect, the fabric treatment composition and/or treatment composition may comprise a deposition aid selected from the group consisting of cationic or amphoteric polysaccharides. Cationic polysaccharides suitable for various modalities of the deposition aids described herein include, but are not limited to, cationic cellulose derivatives, cationic and amphoteric cellulose ethers, cationic or amphoteric galactomannan, cationic guar gum derivatives, cationic or amphoteric starches, and derivatives, and cationic chitosan and its derivatives. In 20 specific embodiments, the branched cationic polysaccharides can be a branched cationic starch. For example, according to one embodiment, the branched cationic starch may comprise amylase, preferably a branched cationic starch will comprise more than 20% amylase.
    In some embodiments, the cationic polysaccharide deposition aid may be a cationic guar gum derivative having the general formula (A):
    where G is a main chain of galactomannan; R13 is a group selected from CH3, CH2CH3, phenyl, a C6-C24 alkyl group (linear or branched) and combinations thereof; R14 and R15 are groups independently selected from CH3, CH2CH3, phenyl, and combinations thereof; and Z" is a suitable anion. In certain embodiments, guar gum derivatives include hydroxy propyl guar trimethyl ammonium chloride. Examples of cationic guar gums are Jaguar™ C13 and Jaguar™ Excel, available from Rhodia, Inc. (Cranberry, NJ, USA).
    In one aspect, the tissue care and/or treatment composition can comprise from about 0.01% to about 10%, or from about 0.05 to about 5%, or from about 0.1 at about 3% of the deposition aid. Suitable deposition aids are disclosed, for example, in US Patent Application Serial No. 12/080,358.
    In one aspect, the one or more deposition aids can be a cationic polymer. In one aspect, the deposition aid can comprise a cationic polymer having a cationic charge density of about 0.1 meq/g to about 23 meq/g to about 0.1 meq/g to about 12 meq/g, or from about 0.3 meq/g to about 7 meq/g, at the intended use pH of the composition. For amine-containing polymers, where the charge density is dependent on the pH of the composition, the charge density is measured at the product's intended use pH. Such pH is generally in the range of from about 2 to about 11, more generally from about 2.5 to about 9.5. Charge density is calculated by dividing the number of net charges per repeat unit by the molecular weight of the repeat unit. Positive charges can be located on the main chain of polymers and/or on the side chains of polymers. For example, for the copolymer of acrylamide and diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride with a 5-monomer ratio of 70:30, the charge density of the original monomers is about 3.05 meq/g. However, if only 50% of the diallyl dimethyl ammonium is polymerized, the charge density of the polymer will only be about 1.6 meq/g. The charge density of the polymer can be measured by dialysis of the polymer with a dialysis membrane or via NMR.
    For polymers with amine monomers, the charge density depends on the pH of the vehicle. For these polymers, the charge density is measured at a pH of 7.
    In one aspect, the cleaning and/or treating composition can comprise an amphoteric deposition aiding polymer provided that the polymer has a net positive charge.

    The tissue treatment compositions of the present description may be formulated in any suitable form and prepared by any process chosen by the formulator, some non-limiting examples of which are described in US Patent Nos. 5,879,584; 5,691,297; 5,574,005; 5,569,645; 5,565,422; 5,516,448; 5,489,392; and 5,486,303.
    In one aspect, the fabric care compositions provided in the present invention can be prepared by combining the components thereof in any convenient order and mixing, for example, by stirring, the resulting combination of components to form a composition for tissue treatment with phase stability. In one aspect, a liquid matrix is formed containing at least a large proportion, or even substantially all, of the liquid components and the emulsion, for example, the non-ionic surfactant, the surface non-active liquid carriers and other optional liquid components, being the liquid components carefully mixed by applying shear agitation to that liquid combination. Rapid agitation with a mechanical stirrer, for example, can be helpful. As long as shear agitation is maintained, substantially all of the anionic surfactant and solid ingredients can be added. Agitation of the mixture proceeds and, if necessary, can be increased to form a solution or a uniform dispersion of insoluble solid phase particles within the liquid phase. After some or all of the materials in solid form have been added to the mixture under stirring, particles of any enzyme material to be included, such as enzyme nuggets, are incorporated. As a variation on the composition preparation procedure described above, one or more of the solid components can be added to the stirred mixture as an aqueous solution or slurry of particles pre-mixed with a smaller portion of one or more of the liquid components. After the addition of all the components of the composition, stirring of the mixture continues for a sufficient period of time to form compositions having the indispensable characteristics of viscosity and phase stability. This often involves shaking for a period of about 30 to 60 minutes.
    In another aspect of producing fabric care compositions, the emulsion comprising the hydrophobic fluid and the particulate material may first be combined with one or more liquid components to form a premix, and this premix may be added to a composition formulation containing a substantial portion, for example, greater than 50% by weight, greater than 70% by weight, or even greater than 90% by weight, of the balance of the components of the fabric care composition. For example, in the methodology described above, both the premix and the enzyme component can be added at a final stage of component additions.
    Various techniques for forming tissue treatment compositions into such solid forms are well known in the art and can be used in the present invention. In one aspect, where the fabric care composition is in the form of a granular particulate, the emulsion is provided in particulate or encapsulated form, optionally including additional components, but not all of the components of the cleaning composition. The particulate comprising the emulsion material is combined with one or more additional particulates containing a balance of cleaning composition components. In various embodiments, the emulsion comprising the polyorganosiloxane having alkyl amino groups and the silicone particulate material, optionally including additional components, but not all cleaning composition components can be provided in an encapsulated form, and the emulsion encapsulate is combined with particulates containing a substantial balance of components of the tissue care composition. Methods of using the fabric treatment compositions
    The fabric care compositions disclosed in this specification can be used to clean or treat a fabric such as those described herein. Typically, at least a portion of the fabric is brought into contact with one embodiment of the aforementioned fabric care compositions, in its pure form or diluted in a liquor, for example a washing liquid, and then the fabric may optionally be washed and /or rinsed. In one aspect, a fabric is optionally washed and/or rinsed, contacted with one embodiment of the aforementioned fabric care compositions, and then optionally washed and/or rinsed. For purposes of this description, washing includes, but is not limited to, scrubbing and mechanical agitation. The fabric can comprise almost any fabric capable of being washed or treated.
    In certain embodiments, the fabric care compositions disclosed in this specification can be used to form aqueous washing solutions for use in fabric laundering. Generally, an effective amount of these compositions are added to water, preferably in a conventional automatic washing machine, to form these aqueous laundry solutions. The aqueous washing solution thus formed is then brought into contact, preferably under agitation, with the fabrics to be washed. An effective amount of the fabric treatment composition, such as the liquid detergent compositions set forth in this specification, can be added to water to form aqueous laundry solutions which can comprise from about 500 to about 7,000 ppm, or even about from 1,000 to about 3,000 ppm of fabric treatment composition. The compositions, in accordance with the present description, can be used in various types of washing machines and processes, including, but not limited to, top loading washing machines, front loading washing machines, washing machines of the type Miele, commercial washing machines, industrial washing machines, and manual washing processes.
    In one aspect, the fabric care compositions can be used as a laundry additive, a pre-treatment composition and/or a post-treatment composition. For example, in certain embodiments, the fabric treatment composition can be in the form of a spray which is sprayed onto a fabric surface. In other embodiments, the fabric care composition may be in the form of a rinse or dip composition, such as a pre- or post-wash dip or rinse composition. In these embodiments, the fabric to be treated can be immersed or rinsed in a fabric treatment composition to impart improved stain repellency characteristics.

    The cleaning or treatment compositions of the present invention, such as, but not limited to, liquid detergent compositions, may take the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion or uniform suspension of surfactant and water, aqueous polyorganosiloxane-silicone resin mixture. , and certain optional auxiliary ingredients, some of which may normally be in solid form, which has been combined with the normally liquid components of the composition. Suitable surfactants can be anionic, non-ionic, cationic, zwitterionic and/or amphoteric surfactants. In one embodiment, the cleaning composition comprises anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant, or mixtures thereof.
    Suitable anionic surfactants can be any of the conventional types of anionic surfactants typically used in cleaning compositions such as liquid or solid detergent products. Such surfactants include alkyl benzene sulfonic acids and their salts, as well as alkoxylated or non-alkoxylated alkyl sulfate materials. Exemplary anionic surfactants are the alkali metal salts of C10-C16 alkyl benzene sulphonic acids, preferably C11-C14 alkyl benzene sulphonic acids. In one aspect, the alkyl group is linear. These linear alkyl benzene sulphonates are known as "LAS". Such surfactants and their preparation are described, for example, in US patents numbers 2,220,099 and 2,477,383. Especially preferred are linear sodium and potassium linear alkyl benzene sulfonates wherein the average number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is from about 11 to 14. The Cn-C14 sodium LAS, e.g., LAS C12, is a specific example of these surfactants.
    Another exemplary type of anionic surfactant comprises ethoxylated alkyl sulfate based surfactants. Such materials, also known as alkyl ether sulfates or alkyl polyethoxylate sulfates, are those corresponding to the formula: R'-O-(C2H4O) n-SO3M, where R' is a C8-C2 alkyl group, z n is about 1 to 20, and M is a salt-forming cation. In a specific embodiment, R' 30 is C10 -Cis alkyl, n is from about 1 to 15, and M is sodium, potassium, ammonium, alkyl ammonium or alkanol ammonium. In more specific embodiments, R' is C12 -C18, n is from about 1 to 6, and M is sodium.
    Alkyl ether sulfates will generally be used in the form of mixtures comprising varying lengths of R' chain and varying degrees of ethoxylation. Often, these mixtures will also inevitably contain some non-ethoxylated alkyl sulfate materials, i.e., surfactants of the ethoxylated alkyl sulfate formula, where n=0. Unethoxylated alkyl sulfates may also be added separately to the cleaning compositions herein, and used as, or in, any anionic surfactant component that may be present. Specific examples of non-ethoxylated surfactants, eg alkyl ether sulfate surfactants, are those produced by the sulfation of higher C8-C20 fatty alcohols. Conventional primary alkyl sulfate based surfactants have the following general formula: R"OSO3"M+, where R" is typically a linear C8-C20 hydrocarbyl group, which may be straight-chain or branched, and M is a water-solubilizing cation. In specific embodiments, R" is a C10-C15 alkyl, and M is alkali metal, more specifically R" is C12-C14 and M is sodium.

As a variation on the composition preparation procedure described above, one or more of the solid components can be added to the stirred mixture as an aqueous solution or slurry of particles premixed with a smaller portion of one or more of the liquid components. After the addition of all the components of the composition, stirring of the mixture continues for a sufficient period of time to form compositions having the indispensable characteristics of viscosity and phase stability. Often this involves shaking for a period of about 30 to 60 minutes.
    In another aspect of making cleaning compositions, the aqueous polyorganosiloxane-silicone resin blend may first be combined with one or more liquid components to form an aqueous polyorganosiloxane-silicone resin blend premix, and this premix is premixed. an aqueous mixture of polyorganosiloxane-silicone resin is added to a composition formulation containing a substantial portion, for example, more than 50%, 30 by weight, more than 70% by weight, or even more than 90% , by weight, of the balance of components of the cleaning composition. For example, in the methodology described above, both the polyorganosiloxane-silicone resin aqueous mixture premix and the enzyme component are added at a final stage of component additions. In a further aspect, the aqueous polyorganosiloxane-silicone resin mixture is encapsulated prior to addition to the composition, the aqueous polyorganosiloxane-encapsulated silicone resin mixture is suspended in a structured liquid, and the suspension is added to a formulation. of composition containing a substantial portion of the remainder of the components of the cleaning composition.

    The detergent product of the present invention may comprise a water-soluble pouch, more preferably a multi-compartment pouch. The pouch comprises a water soluble film and at least a first, and optionally a second compartment. The first compartment comprises a first composition, which comprises an opacifier and an antioxidant. The second compartment comprises a second compartment. Preferably, the pouch comprises a third compartment and a third composition. The optionally second and third compositions are preferably visibly distinct from each other and from the first composition.
    Optionally, a difference in aesthetic appearance can be achieved in several ways. However, the first compartment of the pouch may comprise an opaque liquid composition. Bag compartments can be the same size or volume. Alternatively, the pouch compartments can be different sizes, with different internal volumes.
    The compartments can also be different from each other in terms of texture. Therefore, one compartment can be glossy, while the other is matte. This can be readily achieved as one side of a water-soluble film is often glossy while the other has a matte finish. Alternatively, the film used to produce a compartment can be treated to be embossed, embossed or stamped. Embossing can be achieved by adhering the material to the film using any suitable means described in the art. Recording can be achieved by applying pressure to the film using any suitable technique available in the technique. Stamping can be accomplished using any suitable stamper and process available in the art. Alternatively, the film itself can be colored, allowing the manufacturer to select different colored films for each compartment. Alternatively the films can be transparent or translucent, and the composition confined within them can be colored.
    Unit dose compositions may have compartments which can be separated, but are preferably joined in any suitable manner. Most preferably, the second and optionally the third or subsequent compartments are superimposed on the first compartment. In one embodiment, the third compartment may be overlaid with the second compartment, which in turn, is overlaid with the first compartment in a sandwich configuration. Alternatively, the second and third compartments are superimposed on the first compartment. However, it is also provided equally that the first, second and optionally the third and subsequent compartments can be secured together in a side-by-side relationship. The compartments can be packed in a row, with each compartment being individually separable by a perforation line.
    Therefore, each compartment can be individually torn off from the rest of the row by the end user, for example, in order to pre-treat or post-treat a fabric with a one-compartment composition.
    In a preferred embodiment, the pouch may comprise three compartments consisting of a first large compartment and two smaller compartments. The second and third smaller compartments are superimposed on the first larger compartment. The size and geometry of the compartments are chosen in such a way that this arrangement is achievable.
    The geometry of compartments can be the same or different. In a preferred embodiment, the second and optionally the third compartment have a different geometry and shape than the first compartment. In this modality, the second and, optionally, the third compartments are arranged in a pattern over the first compartment. Said model can be decorative, educational, illustrative, for example, to illustrate a concept or instruction, or used to indicate the origin of the product. In a preferred embodiment, the first compartment is the largest compartment that has two larger faces sealed around the perimeter. The second compartment is smaller, covering less than 75%, more preferably less than 50% of the surface area of one face of the first compartment. In the embodiment where there is a third compartment, the above structure is the same, but the second and third compartments cover less than 60%, more preferably less than 50%, more preferably less than 45% of the surface area of one face of the first compartment.
    The pouch is preferably made of a water-soluble or water-dispersible film material, and has a solubility in water of at least 50%, preferably at least 75% or even at least 95%, as measured by the method defined in the present invention. after using a glass filter with a maximum pore size of 20 microns. 50 grams ± 0.1 grams of bag material is added to a pre-weighed 400 ml beaker and 245 ml ± 1 ml of distilled water is added. This is vigorously shaken on a magnetic stirrer set at 600 rpm for 30 minutes. The mixture is then filtered through a folded qualitative sintered glass filter with a pore size as defined above (max. 20 microns). The water is dried from the filtrate collected by any conventional method, and the weight of the remaining material (which is the dissolved or dispersed fraction) is determined. The percent solubility or dispersibility can then be calculated.
    Preferred pouch materials are polymeric materials, preferably polymers that are formed into a film or sheet. Bag material, for example, can be obtained by casting. blow molding, extrusion or blow extrusion of the polymeric material, as known in the art.
    Preferred polymers, copolymers or derivatives of these substances suitable for use as pouch material are selected from polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyalkylene oxides, acrylamide, acrylic acid, cellulose, cellulose ethers, cellulose esters, cellulose amides, polyvinyl acetates, polycarboxylic acids and salts, polyamino acids or peptides, polyamides, polyacrylamide, maleic/acrylic acid copolymers, polysaccharides including starch and gelatin, natural gums like xanthan and carrageenan. More preferably, the polymers are
    selected from water-soluble polyacrylates and acrylate copolymers, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, dextrin, ethyl cellulose, hydroxy ethyl cellulose, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, maltodextrin, polymethacrylates and, most preferably, selected from polyvinyl alcohols of polyvinyl alcohol and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), as well as combinations of these substances. Preferably, the level of polymer in the pouch material, for example a PVA polymer, is at least 60%. The polymer can have any weight average molecular weight, preferably from about 1,000 to 1,000,000, more preferably from about 10,000 to 300,000, most preferably from about 20,000 to 150,000.
    Polymer blends can also be used as the pouch material. This can be advantageous for controlling the mechanical and/or dissolution properties of the compartments or the pouch, depending on your application and the needs to be met. Suitable blends include, for example, blends in which one polymer has a higher water solubility than another polymer, and/or a polymer has a higher mechanical strength than another polymer. Blends of polymers having different weight average molecular weights are also suitable, for example a blend of PVA or a copolymer thereof having a weight average molecular weight of about 10,000 to 40,000, preferably about 20,000, and of PVA or of a copolymer thereof having a weight average molecular weight of about 100,000 to 300,000, preferably about 150,000. Also suitable for use in the present invention are polymer blend compositions, for example, which comprise water-soluble, hydrolytically degradable polymer blends such as polylactide and polyvinyl alcohol, obtained by blending polylactide and polyvinyl alcohol, typically comprising approximately 1 to 35 % by weight of polylactide and about 65% to 99% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol. Preferred for use in the present invention are polymers that are about 60% to about 98% hydrolyzed, preferably about 80% to about 90% hydrolyzed, to optimize the dissolution characteristics of the material.
    Naturally, different film materials and/or films of different thickness can be employed in the production of the compartments of the present invention. A benefit of selecting different films is such that the resulting compartments may exhibit different solubility or release characteristics.
    The most preferred materials for the bag are Monosol M8630 tradename PVA films, sold by Chris-Craft Industrial Products of Gary, Indiana, USA, and PVA films having similar solubility and deformability characteristics. Other films suitable for use in the present invention include films under the trade name PT Film, or the K-Series films available from Aicello, or VF-HP Film, available from Kuraray.
    The pouch material of the present invention may also comprise one or more additive ingredients. For example, it may be beneficial to add plasticizers, for example, glycerol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, sorbitol and mixtures thereof. Other additives include functional detergent additives to be applied to wash water, e.g. organic polymeric dispersants, etc.
    For reasons of deformability, pouches or pouch compartments which contain a component which is liquid will preferably contain an air bubble which has a volume of up to about 50%, preferably up to about 40%, more preferably, up to about 30%, more preferably, up to about 20%, more preferably, up to about 10% of the volume space of said compartment.
    The water-soluble bag can be made using any suitable equipment and method. Single-compartment pouches are made using vertical, but preferably horizontal, shape filling techniques common knowledge in the prior art. The film is preferably dampened, more preferably heated to increase the malleability of the film. Even more preferably, the method also involves using a vacuum to place the film into a suitable mold. Vacuum placement of the film in the mold can be for 0.2 to 5 seconds, preferably 0.3 to 3 or even more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 seconds, once the film is over the horizontal portion of the surface. This vacuum can be such as to provide an under-pressure between -10 kPa (-100 mbar) to -100 kPa (-1000 mbar), or even from -20 kPa (-200 mbar) to -60 kPa 10 (-600 mbar ).
    The molds in which the pouches are produced can have any shape, length, width and depth, depending on the dimensions of the pouches needed. The molds can also vary in size and shape from one to the other, if desired. For example, it may be preferred that the volume of the final pouches be between 5 and 300 ml, or even 10 and 150 ml or even 20 and 100 ml and that the mold sizes be adjusted accordingly.
    Heat can be applied to the film, in the process commonly called thermoforming, eh any means. For example, the film can be heated directly by passing it under a heating element or through hot air, before feeding it over the surface, or when it is over the surface. Alternatively, it can be heated indirectly, for example, by heating the surface, or by applying a hot item to the film. Most preferably, the film is heated using an infrared light. The film is preferably heated to a temperature of 50 to 120°C, or even 60 to 90°C.
    Alternatively, the film can be moistened by any means, for example, directly by spraying a wetting agent (including water, film material solutions or plasticizers for the film material) onto the film, before feeding onto the surface or when onto the film. surface, or indirectly by wetting the surface or applying a wet item to the film.
    Once the film has been heated/wetted, it is placed in a suitable mold, preferably using a vacuum. Filling the molded film can be accomplished by any known method for filling (preferably in motion) items. The most preferred method will depend on the shape of the product and the filling speed required. Preferably, the cast film is filled using in-line filling techniques. The filled open pouches are then closed, using a second film, by any suitable method. Preferably, this is also done while in a horizontal position and in constant, continuous motion. Preferably, the closure is accomplished by continuously feeding a second film, preferably a water-soluble film, over and over the open pouches and then preferably sealing the first film and second film together, typically in the area between the molds and thus between the bags.
    Preferred sealing methods include thermobonding, solvent welding, and solvent or wet sealing. It is preferred that only the area which is to form the seal is treated with heat or solvent. Heat or solvent can be applied by any method, preferably to the closure material, preferably only over the areas that are for the formation of the seal. If a solder, wet seal, or solvent is used, it may be preferable that heat is also applied. Preferred solvent or wet sealing/welding methods include selectively applying a solvent to the area between the molds, or to the closure material, for example, by spraying or stamping it onto these areas, and then applying pressure over these areas to form the seal. 10 Cylinders and sealing mats as described above (optionally also providing heat) can be used, for example.
    The formed pouches can then be cut with a cutting device. Cutting can be done using any known method. It may be preferred that the cutting is also done in a continuous manner and preferably at a constant speed and preferably while in a horizontal position. The cutting device, for example, can be a sharp item 20 or a hot item, so that in the second case, the hot item 'burns' through the film/seal area.
    The different compartments of a multi-compartment pouch can be made together in a side-by-side style and consecutive pouches are not cut.
    Alternatively, compartments can be made separately.
    According to this process and preferential arrangement, the pouches are produced according to the process comprising the steps of: a) forming a first compartment (as described above); b) forming a recess within some or all of the closed compartments formed in step a) to generate a second molded compartment superimposed above the first compartment; c) fill and close the second compartments through a third film; d) sealing said first, second and third 5 films; and e) cutting the films to produce a multi-compartment pouch.
    Said recess formed in step b) is preferably achieved by applying a vacuum to the compartment prepared in step a). Alternatively, the second and optionally the third compartment(s) can be produced in a separate step and then combined with the first compartment as described in our copending application EP 08101442.5 which is hereby incorporated by reference. A particularly preferred process comprises the steps of: a) forming a first compartment, optionally with the use of heat and/or vacuum, with the use of a first film in a first forming machine; b) filling said first compartment with a first composition; c) in a second forming machine, deforming a second film, optionally using heat and vacuum, to make a second and optionally third molded compartment, filling the second and, optionally, the third compartment; e) sealing the second and, optionally, the third compartment with the use of a third film; f) placing the second and optionally the third compartment sealed over the first compartment; g) sealing the first, second and optionally third compartments; and h) cutting the films to produce a multi-compartment pouch.
    The first and second forming machines are selected based on their suitability to perform the above process. The first forming machine is preferably a horizontal forming machine. The second forming machine is preferably a rotary drum forming machine, preferably located above the first forming machine.
    Additionally, it will be understood that, through the use of suitable feeding stations, it is possible to manufacture the multi-compartment pouches incorporating a number of different or distinct compositions and/or different or distinct liquid, paste or gel compositions.

    Polyorganosiloxane-Resin Fluid Emulsion
    Silicone - Any of the Emulsions in Example 1, 2, 9 or 10 Processes for producing cleaning compositions
    Cleaning compositions, including but not limited to the fabric care compositions of the present description, may be formulated in any suitable manner and prepared by any process chosen by the formulator, with some non-limiting examples of which are described in the US Patent Nos. 5,879,584; 5,691,297; 5,574,005; 5,569,645; 5,565,422; 5,516,448; 5,489,392; and 5,486,303. Methods of using the fabric treatment compositions
    The fabric care compositions disclosed in this specification can be used to clean or treat a fabric such as those described herein. Typically, at least a portion of the fabric is brought into contact with one embodiment of the aforementioned fabric care compositions, in its pure form or diluted in a liquor, for example a washing liquid, and then the fabric may optionally be washed and /or rinsed. In one aspect, a fabric is optionally washed and/or rinsed, contacted with one embodiment of the aforementioned fabric care compositions, and then optionally washed and/or rinsed. For the purposes of this description, washing includes, but is not limited to, scrubbing and mechanical agitation. The fabric can comprise almost any fabric capable of being washed or treated.
    The fabric care compositions presented in this specification can be used to form aqueous solutions for wash intended for use in washing fabrics. Generally, an effective amount of these compositions are added to water, preferably in a conventional automatic washing machine, to form these aqueous laundry solutions. The aqueous washing solution thus formed is then brought into contact, preferably under agitation, with the fabrics to be washed. An effective amount of fabric treatment composition, such as the liquid detergent compositions set forth in this specification, can be added to water to form aqueous laundry solutions that can range from about 500 to about 7,000 ppm, or even about from 1,000 to about 3,000 ppm of fabric treatment composition.
    In one aspect, the fabric care compositions can be used as a laundry additive, a pre-treatment composition and/or a post-treatment composition.
    While several specific embodiments have been described in detail herein, the present description is intended to cover several different combinations of the disclosed embodiments and is not limited to those specific embodiments described herein. The various embodiments of the present description can be better understood when read in conjunction with the representative examples set forth below. The representative examples presented below are included for illustrative purposes and not by way of limitation. Test Methods Time <Absorption Measurement Protocol (T2W)
    The fabric's absorption time property is measured as follows: The test is conducted in a chamber or at room temperature with an air temperature of 20-25 °C and a relative humidity of 50-60%. All paper and tissue products used in the test are equilibrated at the temperature and humidity conditions of the test site for 24 hours prior to measuring the results. On a flat, horizontal and level waterproof surface, place an 8 cm x 10 cm piece of test fabric on top of a sheet of kitchen towel paper (eg Bounty). The face-up fabric surface that is not in contact with the paper towel can be either side of the fabric. Visually confirm that the fabric is seated and in even contact with the paper towel before proceeding. Distilled water is used as the test liquid. Single or multi-channel automated pipettes (eg Rainin, Gilson, Eppendorf) are used to deliver a liquid droplet size of 300 µL of the test liquid onto the tissue surface. A stopwatch or timer is used to count the time, in seconds, from when the liquid drops make contact with the tissue surface. The timer is stopped when the entire droplet of test liquid wets the tissue. The point at which the liquid drop wets the fabric is determined by visual observation of the moment when the liquid drop moves from the fabric surface into the fabric and has completely penetrated the fabric. The period of time shown elapsed on the stopwatch is the moment of measurement of the absorption time. The test is stopped after 20 minutes if wetting of the liquid drop is not yet visible. The absorption time measurement is recorded as > 20 minutes in this case. If wetting of the liquid is seen immediately after contact of the drop with the tissue surface, the absorption time property is then recorded as 0 for that tissue. Multiple repetitions are performed for each test fabric. These repetitions are comprised of 10 pieces of each test fabric, and 3 drops of test liquid per piece of fabric, resulting in a total of 30 drops to be measured per test fabric. In addition to the mean of 30 measurements of absorption time, the standard deviation and confidence interval of 95 must also be reported.
    The dimensions and values presented in the present invention are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values mentioned. Rather, unless otherwise specified, each of these dimensions is intended to mean both the stated value and a range of functionally equivalent values around that value. For example, a dimension displayed as "40 mm" is intended to mean "about 40 mm".
    All documents cited in the Detailed Description of the Invention are, in their relevant part, incorporated herein by reference.

If there is a conflict between any meaning or definition of a term mentioned in this document and the meaning or definition of the same term in a document incorporated by reference, the meaning or definition ascribed to the term mentioned in this document shall take precedence.
    While specific embodiments of the present description have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
