Ion-sensitive hard water dispersible polymers and applications therefor

Water soluble polymers are prepared from an allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid monomer, a methallyl sulfonic acid monomer, a copolymerizable nonionic monomer, and a copolymerizable olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer. The polymers are used to disperse particulate matter and to inhibit the formation and deposition of mineral scale in aqueous systems and are used in detergent compositions.

Compositions of water soluble polymers containing allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid monomer and methallyl sulfonic acid monomer and methods for use in aqueous systems

A process for stabilizing aqueous systems containing scale forming salts and inorganic particulates by adding to such systems an effective amount of selected low molecular weight water soluble polymers containing from about 10 to about 84 weight percent (meth)acrylic acid units, greater than 11 to less than about 40 weight percent acrylamido alkyl or aryl sulfonate units and from at least about 5 to about 50 weight percent of one or more units selected from vinyl esters, vinyl acetate and substituted acrylamides, is provided. The terpolymers and interpolymers used in the process provide improved phosphate, iron and zinc stabilization while maintaining their water solubility. Certain preferred polymers also exhibit a high degree of hydrolytic stability at high pH conditions.

Method of stabilizing aqueous systems

Water-soluble polymers are provided which are useful for stabilizing aqueous systems containing scale forming salts and inorganic particulates The polymers comprise between about 10 and about 84 weight percent of units derived from (meth)-acrylic acid and/or salt thereof, greater than about 11 to less than about 40 weight percent of units derived from acrylamido alkyl and/or aryl sulfonic acid and/or salt thereof, and from at least about 5 to about 50 weight percent of units derived from one or more of vinyl esters, vinyl acetate and substituted acrylamides These terpolymers and interpolymers, when added to an aqueous system in an effective amount provide improved phosphate, iron and zinc stabilization compared with conventional additives, while maintaining their water solubility Certain preferred polymers also exhibit a high degree of hydrolytic stability at high pH conditions Also provided are polymers formed from about 60 to about 90 weight percent (meth)acrylic acid and/or salt thereof, and from about 40 to about 10 weight percent substituted acrylamide, the polymers having a weight average molecular weight of from about 2500 to about 8000 and being unexpectedly useful as precipitation inhibitors for zinc and its salts in aqueous systems
