Clariant International Ltd 1 Polyesters The present invention relates to specific anionic polyesters, a process for the preparation of such polyesters and solutions or dispersions comprising such polyesters. The polyesters may be applied in fabric and home care compositions, preferably in laundry detergent compositions, e. g. as soil release polymers. Soil release polymers are known and used in fabric and home care formulations. In the washing process, soil release polymers can deposit on fibers, which changes the surface properties of the fabric and in particular delivers the benefit of easier soil removal from fabrics which have been treated with a soil release polymer in a previous washing process. Anionic soil release polymers typically have poor biodegradability, which limits their application in green and sustainable fabric and home care formulations such as laundry detergent compositions. It was an object of the present invention to provide substances which show advantageous performance in laundry detergent compositions, preferably advantageous washing performance in laundry detergent compositions, and possess advantageous biodegradability.

During the use of fabric and home care compositions comprising the polyester of the invention, the polyester can deposit on surfaces, especially fabric surfaces which comprise synthetic fibers, such as polyester, etc. The deposition of the polyester of the invention gives anti-fouling properties to the fabric surfaces: various soil (including body soil, grease soil, clay, biological stains, or microorganisms) have reduced adhesion to the polyester treated fabric surfaces, so that less soil can deposit on these surfaces during wash and wear. Furthermore, when soil is attached to a fabric surface treated with a polyester of the invention, it can be more easily removed in later washing procedures because of reduced adhesion between soil and fabric.

EXAMPLES The examples below are intended to illustrate the invention in detail without, however, limiting it thereto. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all percentages given are percentages by weight (% by wt. or wt.-%). Polyester preparation General procedure for the preparation of the polyesters of the examples. The polyester synthesis is carried out by the reaction of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), dimethyl-5-sulfoisophthalate sodium salt (5-SIM), 1,2-propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, alkyl capped polyalkylene glycol (mono hydroxyl-functional polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ether), and optionally polyalkylene glycol, using sodium acetate (NaOAc) and tetraisopropyl orthotitanate (IPT) as the catalyst system. The synthesis is a two-step procedure. The first step is a trans- esterification and the second step is a polycondensation. Key to reactants or ingredients used in the examples: 5-SIM is dimethyl-5-sulfoisophthalate sodium salt AE NI is alkyl ethoxylate (EO)7 AES is alcohol ethoxysulfate DMT is dimethyl terephthalate EG is ethylene glycol HEDP is 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid IPT is tetraisopropyl orthotitanate LAS is linear alkyl benzene sulphonate MGDA is methylglycine-diacetic acid mPEG2000 is mono hydroxyl-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, average molecular weight 2000 g/mol mPEG3000 is mono hydroxyl-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, average molecular weight 3000 g/mol mPEG4000 is mono hydroxyl-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, average molecular weight 4000 g/mol NaOAc is sodium acetate PEG300 is di-hydroxyl-functional poly(ethylene glycol), average molecular weight 300 g/mol PG is 1,2-propylene glycol Inventive polyester example 1 83.22 g (0.42 mol) of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), 42.3 g (0.14 mol) of dimethyl- 5-sulfoisophthalate sodium salt (5-SIM), 40.05 g (0.53 mol) of 1,2-propylene glycol (PG), 34.60 g (0.56 mol) of ethylene glycol (EG), 200 g (0.10 mol) of mPEG2000 and 0.5 g of sodium acetate (NaOAc) (anhydrous) are weighed into a reaction vessel at room temperature.

During the transesterification methanol is released from the reaction and is distilled out of the system. Once the head-temperature is below 55 °C, nitrogen is switched off and the pressure is reduced to 10 mbar. PG and EG are distilled out of the system. The mixture is stirred for further 4 hours at a pressure of 10 mbar. The reaction mixture is cooled down to 140 150 °C. Vacuum is released with nitrogen and the polyester is transferred out of the reactor.

Method of Testing Biodegradability of polyesters: The biodegradability of polyesters is determined following the OECD 301B Ready Biodegradability CO2 Evolution Test Guideline. In this study, the test substance is the sole carbon and energy source and under aerobic conditions microorganisms metabolize the test substance producing CO2 or incorporating the carbon into biomass. The amount of CO2 produced by the test substance (corrected for the CO2 evolved by the blank inoculum) is expressed as a percentage of the theoretical amount of CO2 (ThCO2) that could have been produced if the organic carbon in the test substance was completely converted to CO2. Method of Evaluating Whiteness Benefit of polyesters During the laundry process, soil which has been removed from dirty clothes is suspended in the detergent solution. Some suspended soil can redeposit back onto clothes. Whiteness maintenance performance is the ability of a detergent to keep white items from whiteness loss when they are washed in the presence of soils. The whiteness benefit of polyesters is evaluated using automatic Tergotometer with 10 pots for laundry formulation testing. SBL2004 test soil strips supplied by WFK Testgewebe GmbH are used to simulate consumer soil levels. On average, every 1 SBL2004 strip is loaded with 8g soil. The SBL2004 test soil strips were cut into 5×5 cm squares for use in the test. White Fabric swatches below from WFK Testgewebe GmbH are typically used as whiteness tracers. Codes for the used fabric are summarized in Table 2. Table 2 Codes for fabrics Additional ballast (background fabric swatches) is also used to simulate a fabric load and provide mechanical energy during the real laundry process. Ballast loads are comprised of cotton and polycotton knit swatches at 5×5 cm size. 4 cycles of wash are needed to complete the test: Cycle 1: Desired amount of detergent is fully dissolved by mixing with 1L water (at defined hardness) in each tergotometer pot.60 grams of fabrics, including whiteness tracers (4 types, each with 4 replicates), 31 pieces 5×5 cm SBL2004, and ballast are washed and rinsed in the tergotometer pot under defined conditions. Cycle 2: The whiteness tracers and ballast from each pot are then washed and rinsed again together with a new set of SBL2004 (5×5cm, 31 pieces) following the process of cycle 1. All other conditions remain the same as in cycle 1. Cycle 3: The whiteness tracers and ballast from each pot are then washed and rinsed again together with a new set of SBL2004 (5×5cm, 31 pieces) following the process of cycle 1. All other conditions remain the same as in cycle 1. Cycle 4: The whiteness tracers and ballast from each pot are then washed and rinsed again together with a new set of SBL2004 (5×5cm, 31 pieces) following the process of cycle 1. All other conditions remain the same as in cycle 1. After Cycle 4, all whiteness tracers & ballast are tumble dried between 60-65°C until dry, then the WI(CIE) of the dry tracers is measured using Konica Minolta CM-3610D spectrophotometer. Method for Evaluating Soil Release Performance of polyesters Soil release test were performed to assess how easily the stains can be removed from a fabric surface after the fabric surface has been modified by polyesters in previous washing cycles. Polyester (PE) fabrics from WFK Testgewebe GmbH were cut into 5×5 cm fabric swatches for the soil release test.3 pieces of 5×5 cm fabric swatches were washed 4 cycles using detergent composition in an automatic tergotometer. After drying overnight under humidity and temperature control (50% RH, 20 ± 2 °C), 200 µl dirty motor oil (DMO) was applied onto each square of fabric swatches. After drying overnight, the DMO soiled fabric swatches are then washed again using detergent compositions, together with knitted cotton ballast (total weight of ballast and DMO soiled fabric swatches is 60g, in every 1L pots of tergotometer). The washed polyester swatches are then dried overnight for image analysis. Stain images were collected before and after washing against a white background with a reflection spectro-photometer (DigiEye). Images were analyzed using DigiEye software. For each fabric the color of the motor oil stains was evaluated by measuring the coordinates Ln*, an*, and bn* defined in the CIELAB colour system. From the measured coordinates the differences in ligh coordinates variation before (n = 1) and after the wash (n = 2) by applying the following equations: Lastly, the stain removal index (SRI) was assessed as follows: Biodegradability of polyesters Biodegradability of polyesters is evaluated using the method described above.
