Abstract

A liquid fabric softening composition comprising: i) an aqueous continuous phase; ii) a disperse phase comprising a cationic softening agent; iii) a nonionic surfactant; and iv) an associative thickener, wherein the disperse phase has a phase volume of 0.75 or less and the cationic softening agent comprises 5% or greater by weight of the total composition.

Claims (15)

1. A liquid fabric softener composition comprising:
i) an aqueous continuous phase ii) a disperse phase containing a cationic softening agent in an amount of at least 5% by weight of the total composition iii) at least 0.05% by weight of the total composition of an non-ionic surfactant (iv) a fatty complexing agent selected from C8 to C22 fatty acids and C8 to C22 fatty alcohols characterised in that the composition comprises (v) an associated thickener which is a hydrophobically modified cellulose ether and wherein the disperse phase has a phase volume of 0.75 or less.
2. A fabric softening composition according to claim 1, having a viscosity at 20 /s of from 200 to 450 mPa.s.
3. A fabric softening composition according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the disperse phase comprises fragments of lamellar phase cationic softening agent stabilised by non-ionic surfactant and linked by associative thickener.
4. A fabric softening composition according to any of preceding claims, having a phase volume of 0.70 or less.
5. A fabric softening composition according to any of preceding claims, wherein the cationic softening agent has an iodine value of from 0 to 20, more preferably 0 to 2.
6. A fabric softening composition according to any of preceding claims, wherein the non-ionic surfactant has an HLB of from 7 to 20, more preferably 15 to 20.
7. A fabric softening composition according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is present at a level of 0.35% or greater, based on the total weight of the composition.
8. A fabric softening composition as claimed in any preceding claim in which the fatty complexing agent is a C8 to C22 fatty alcohol.
9. A fabric softening composition according to any of preceding claims, wherein the associative thickener has a molecular weight of from 50,000 to 500,000.
10. A fabric softening composition according to any of preceding claims, wherein the associative thickener is present at a level of from 0.001 to 0.5% by weight of the total composition.
11. A fabric softening composition according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a quaternary ammonium compound having a single C12-28 group connected to the nitrogen head group.
12. A fabric softening composition according to claim 11, wherein the mole ratio of the fatty complexing agent to the quaternary ammonium compound having a single C12-28 group connected to the nitrogen head group is from 1:3 to 3:1.
13. A method for the treatment of fabrics comprising contacting fabrics with a liquid fabric softening composition according to any of the preceding claims.
14. A method for the manufacture of a liquid fabric softening composition as claimed in any preceding claim comprising the steps of dispersing a cationic softening agent and a non-ionic surfactant in an aqueous continuous phase, reducing the phase volume of the disperse phase, and using an associative thickener to thicken the composition, wherein the disperse phase is reduced to a phase volume of 0.75 or less and the cationic softening agent comprises 5% or greater of the total composition.
15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the phase volume is reduced by the addition of an electrolyte and/or milling the formulation.
