A fabric softener composition, comprising 1% to 49% by weight of a bis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-dimethylammonium methylsulphate fatty acid ester having a molar ratio of fatty acid moieties to amine moieties of from 1.85 to 1.99, wherein the average chain length of the fatty acid moieties is from 16 to 18 carbon atoms and the iodine value of the fatty acid moieties, calculated for the free fatty acid, is from 0.5 to 50.
摘要:
Clear/translucent formulations comprise polyquaternary ammonium actives with lower, or no, solvent levels except the solvent which is normally present in the polyquaternary raw material stocks by choosing highly efficient principal solvents within a specific Clog P range, employing higher levels of polyquaternary ammonium actives, and/or augmenting the bilayer with surfactants and/or polar oils. Compositions with lowered solvent levels have at or below about 5% by volume of secondary dispersed phases, preferably below about 3% by volume of secondary dispersed phases, and more preferably below about 1% by volume of secondary dispersed phases. The most preferred compositions are essentially free of secondary dispersed phases. High-speed centrifugation easily and quickly reveals the % volume of secondary phase(s).

Clear or translucent rinse-added fabric softening compositions are provided via the present invention which have reduced solvent or solvatrope levels. The composition according to the invention comprise: a) a fabric softening active; b) a principal solvent; c) a principal solvent extender; and d) the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients. Preferred embodiments include low perfume level formulations. A preferred class of principal solvent extenders includes hydrophobic oils that aids in fluidizing the system which is characterized by a freezing point of less than 22° C. for in a mixture of the principle solvent extender and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol (20%/80% by wt). These principal solvent extenders include materials such as benzyl benzoate, methyl esters derived from canola oil, and mixtures thereof. Alternatively, the preferred principal solvent extenders include cumene sulfonates, xylene sulfonates, toluene sulfonates, C6-C14 sulfonates and sulfates, and mixtures thereof.

Compositions for effectively delivering a water-soluble active material to a surface comprise: (a) from about 1% to about 30%, by weight of the composition, of a dialkyl quaternary ammonium compound having the formula: wherein R1 and R2 are independently C12 to C20 saturated alkyl chains; Y is wherein R4 is ethyl or isopropyl; R3 and R5 are independently methyl, ethyl, hydroxyethyl, or hydroxypropyl; m is 1, 2, or 3; n is 1 or 2; p is 0 or 1; and X− is a suitable anion; (b) from about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of water-soluble active material having a ClogP of less than about 2.0; and (c) at least about 60%, by weight of the composition, of water; wherein the compositions contain vesicles having a vesicle permeability index of less than about 1.3. Processes to make the compositions comprise the steps of dispersing the dialkyl quaternary ammonium compound and the water-soluble active material in an aqueous solution to form vesicles having a vesicle permeability index of less than about 1.3.

摘要:
Clear, or translucent fabric softener compositions comprise fabric softener compound, principal solvent system, and high electrolyte levels. The high electrolyte level allows for a broader range of principal solvents to be used and/or reduces the incidence of increased viscosity when low levels of principal solvent are used. Phase stabilizers which are primarily ethoxylated hydrophobic materials can be used to reduce the amount of principal solvent that is needed and/or to stabilize the compositions in the presence of the highest levels of electrolyte. Specific phase stabilizers provide additional benefits including improved softening. Specific electrolytes provide improved results. Addition of primary solvents and/or phase stabilizers to the softener compounds can improve the viscosity/handling of the compounds and the ability to create the finished compositions.
