Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to an aqueous concentrated fabric softening composition, in particular to such a composition which contains more than 10% by weight of a water-insoluble cationic fabric softener.
- Concentrated fabric softening compositions containing more than 10% by weight of a water-insoluble cationic fabric softener suffer from the disadvantage of high viscosities which inter alia makes such products difficult to process. It has been proposed in European Patent Specification No EP-A-56695 (PROCTER & GAMBLE) that viscosity can be controlled by the use of small quantities, specifically up to 3% by weight of alkoxylated amines.
- We have now surprisingly discovered that the processing of concentrated fabric softening compositions can be improved by the inclusion of higher levels of other specific alkoxylated fatty compounds. The benefit of this improved processing can be seen in a lower initial product viscosity.
- Thus, according to the invention, there is provided an aqueous concentrated fabric softening composition comprising:
- ( i) an aqueous base;
- ( ii) more than 10% by weight of a water-insoluble cationic fabric softener; and
- (iii) more than 4% by weight of a nonionic material which comprises an alkylene oxide adduct of a fatty compound selected from fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty esters, and fatty acid amides, the fatty compound containing at least 10 carbon atoms and the adduct containing an average of not more than 7 alkylene oxide groups per molecule, when the fatty compound is a fatty acid or a fatty ester and not more than 4 alkylene oxide groups per molecule when the fatty compound is a fatty alcohol or a fatty acid amide,
- The level of cationic softener in the composition is preferably from 10.5% to 21% by weight. The level of the nonionic material in the composition is preferably from 4-5% to 12.0% by weight. The weight ratio of the cationic softener to the nonionic material is preferably at least 1:1, such as between about 1.5:1 and about 3:1.
- The water-insoluble cationic fabric softener can be any fabric-substantive cationic compound which has a solubility in water at pH 2.5 and 20°C of less than 10 g/1. Highly preferred materials are quaternary ammonium salts having two C12-C24 alkyl or alkenyl chains, optionally substituted or interrupted by functional groups such as -OH, -0-, -CONH, -COO-, etc.
- Well known species of substantially water-insoluble quaternary ammonium compounds have the formula
- Another class of preferred water-insoluble cationic materials are the alkylimidazolinium salts believed to have the formula:
- Representative commercially available materials of the above classes are the quaternary ammonium compounds Arquad 2HT (ex AKZO); Noramium M2SH'(ex CEKA) ; Aliquat-2HT (Trade Mark of General Mills Inc) and the imidazolinium compounds Varisoft 475 (Trade Mark of Sherex Company, Columbus Ohio) and Rewoquat W7500 (Trade Mark of REWO).
- The nonionic material is, or includes, an alkylene oxide adduct of various fatty compounds as specified above, but may also include other alkoxylated or non- alkoxylated nonionic materials.
- Alkylene oxide adducts of fatty alcohols useful in the present invention, preferably have the general formula:

- Preferably, the compositions of the invention contain substantially no anionic material, in particular no anionic surface active materials: If such materials are present, the weight ratio of the cationic material to the anionic material should preferably be more than 10:1, such as more than 100:1.
- The compositions may include electrolytes to assist in controlling the viscosity of the product. A suitable electrolyte level in the compositions is from about 0.01% to about 0.5%, most preferably from about 0.02% to about 0.2%, measured as the anhydrous salt. Examples of suitable materials include the ionic salts of sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, calcium or aluminium, such as lithium chloride, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, sodium methosulphate, sodium benzoate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride or aluminium chloride. Of these, sodium and potassium salts are less preferred.

It is preferred that the level of isopropanol or any other C1-C4 monohydric alcohol in the composition is less than about 10% by weight, most preferably less than about 5% by weight.
- Additionally the composition can contain substances for maintaining the stability of the product on cold storage. Examples of such substances include polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol. A suitable level for such materials is from about 0.5% to about 5%, preferably about 1.0% to 2.0% by weight.

- The compositions of the invention may be prepared by a variety of methods. One suitable method is to form a molten mixture of the cationic fabric softener and the nonionic material, add this molten mixture to water with stirring to form a dispersion and thereafter adding any optional ingredients.
- The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples, where all parts and percentages are by weight. Where commercially available materials are referred to, the percentages quoted are of the active ingredients therein. Viscosities were measured in a Haake Rotorviscometer (Model RV 2) at 110 sec-1 at 25°C.
- Compositions were prepared according to the formulations in the following Tables. The compositions were prepared by forming a molten mixture of the cationic and nonionic ingredients at 65°C, adding to water at the same temperature, stirring to form a dispersion, adding electrolyte in the form of a saturated solution, cooling and then adding perfume.
