Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fabric softening compositions, in particular the invention relates to aqueous dispersions of biodegradable fabric softening compositions comprising a water insoluble cationic fabric softening agent and perfume.
  • the compositions are stable on storage and exhibit excellent perfume delivery when removed from a washing machine.
  • Rinse added fabric softener compositions are well known. Typically such compositions contain a water insoluble quaternary ammonium fabric softening agent dispersed in water at a level of softening agent up to 7% by weight in which case the compositions are considered dilute, or at levels from 7% to 50% in which case the compositions are considered concentrates.
  • fabric softening compositions desirably have other benefits such as delivering perfume onto fabrics.
  • the fabric conditioning market is moving towards more concentrated compositions.
  • One of the problems associated with such fabric softening compositions is that on storage they are physically unstable. This problem is accentuated by the presence of a perfume; the greater the level of perfume the worse the stability problem becomes.
  • EP 280 550 (Unilever) it has been proposed to improve the physical stability of dilute compositions comprising biodegradable, ester-linked quaternary ammonium compounds and fatty acid by the addition of nonionic surfactants.
  • EP 507 478 (Unilever) discloses a physically stable fabric softening c mposition comprising a water insoluble, biodegradable, ester-linked quaternary ammonium compounds and a nonionic stabilising agent .
  • compositions comprising biodegradable ester-linked quaternary ammonium compounds the problem of physical instability is more acute than with traditional quaternary ammonium compounds .
  • CA 1 111 616 discloses a fabric softening composition comprising 0.1 to 10 wt% ⁇ > ⁇ a cationic fabric softener and 0.1 wt% to 20 wt % of particles.
  • the particles are comprised of a carrier substance and a perfume and have a melting point of from 38°C to 150°C, preferably from 65°C to 100°C.
  • fabric softening compositions comprising quaternary ammonium compounds may exhibit excellent perfume substantivity and good storage stability.
  • a fabric softening composition comprising: i) a quaternary ammonium fabric softening agent,
  • the slip point of the perfume/carrier substance mix is measured as defined by British Standard BS 684 section 1.3 1991 ISO 6321:1991 (UK) .
  • a further aspect of the invention is provided by a process for preparing a fabric softening composition as defined above, which comprises of the following steps:
  • a further advantage afforded by the present invention is that the degree of fabric softening may be varied to suit different customer requirements in different markets, while maintaining high perfume delivery.
  • the invention also allows perfume to be incorporated without excessive perfume intensity from the undiluted product.
  • the perfume carrier substance mix has a slip point below 37°C; preferably from 0 to 37°C. More preferably it has a slip point between 20°C and 37°C.
  • compositions of the invention are liquids, more preferably comprising an aqueous base.
  • the carrier substance is an organic material.
  • the carrier substance is a fatty ester of a mono or polyhydric alcohol having from 1 to about 24 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in the carrier substance is equal to or greater than 16 and that at least one of the hydrocarbons radicals in the ester has 12 or more carbon atoms.
  • fatty esters are preferably odourless.
  • the carrier substance in the perfume/carrier substance mix is a fatty acid glyceride or mixtures of fatty acid glycerides .
  • Especially preferred carrier substances are triglycerides, most preferred are palm oil and tallow oil.
  • the perfume/carrier substance mix is preferably present at a level of from 1 to 10% of the composition, more preferably 3 wt% to 7 wt% of the total composition.
  • the ratio of perfume to carrier substance is from 1:50 to 1:1, more preferably 1:20 to 1:2, most preferably 1:7 to 1:2.
  • the ratio of perfume/carrier substance mix to quaternary ammonium fabric softening agent is in the ratio of 5:1 to 1:10, more preferably 2:1 to 1:10.
  • the quaternary ammonium compound is biodegradable and has at least one ester link.
  • Advantageously th- ⁇ fabric softening composition comprises a water insoluble cationic compound having two C 12 . 28 alkyl or alkenyl groups connected to the N atom via one or more ester links.
  • a preferred type of ester-linked .quaternary ammonium fabric softening agent for use in the compositions according to the invention can be represented by the formula:
  • each Rj group is independently selected from C ⁇ alkyl, or hydroxyalkyl or C__ 4 alkyl groups; and wherein each R 2 group is independently selected from C s _- ⁇ alkyl or alkenyl groups;
  • T is -C-O- or -C-0-; and n is an integer from 0-5.
  • a second preferred type of quaternary ammonium fabric softening agent can be represented by the formula:
  • R 1# n and R 2 are as defined above.
  • Preferred materials of this class- and their method of preparation are, for example, described in US 4 137 180 (Lever Brothers) .
  • Preferably these materials comprise small amounts of the corresponding monoester as described in US 4 137 180, for example 1-tallowoxy, 2-hydroxytrimethyl ammonium propane chloride.
  • the level of ester linked quaternary ammonium compounds is at least 1% by weight of the composition, more preferably more than 7% by weight of the composition; especially interesting are concentrated compositions which comprise between 10 and 30 % by weight of ester-linked quaternary ammonium compound.
  • compositions of the invention may also contain nonionic stabilisers.
  • Suitable non. c stabilisers which can be used include the condensation products of C-, - C 22 primary linear alcohols with 10 to 25 moles of ethylene oxide. Use of less than 10 moles of ethylene oxide, especially when the alkyl chain is in the tallow range, leads to unacceptably high aquatic toxicity.
  • nonionic stabilisers are preferred: Genapol T-110, Genapol T-150, Genapol T-200, Genapol C-200 all ex Hoechst AG, Lutensol AT18 ex BASF, Genapol C-100 and Genapol C-150 ex Hoechst, or fatty alcohols for example Laurex CS, ex Albright and Wilson or Adol 340 ex Sherex (all Trade Marks) .
