Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fabric softening compositions.
  • the invention relates to fabric softening compositions that have excellent stability, dispensing and dispersing properties.
  • Rinse added fabric softener compositions are well known. Typically such compositions contain a water insoluble 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 30% in which case the compositions are considered concentrates. Fabrics can also be softened by the use of sheets coated with softening compound for use in tumble dryers. In more detail the commercially available fabric softening compounds generally form stacked lamellar structures in water which have characteristic L ⁇ to L ⁇ phase transition temperatures.
  • liquid fabric softening compositions are in the form of dispersed colloidal particles of the fabric softening compound.
  • Fabric softening compositions comprising dissolved fabric softening compound in organic solvent and powder or granular compositions have also been described.
  • Physical instability manifests itself as a thickening on storage of the composition to a level where the composition is no longer pourable, and can even lead to the irreversible formation of a gel.
  • the formation of a gel can also occur in the dispensing drawer of a washing machine when the temperature of the drawer is increased by the influx of warm water. The thickening is very undesirable since the composition can no longer be conveniently used.
  • Physical instability can also manifest itself as phase separation into two or more separate layers.
  • FR-A-1 447 334 discloses a general procedure for increasing the dispersibility and solubility of cationic compounds by the use of specific betaines but makes no reference to cationic based rinse conditioners.
  • GB-A-2 163 771 discloses wash cycle detergent compositions comprising a nonionic surfactant and a cationic quaternary ammonium compound which does not contain an ester link or a single long chain.
  • EP-A-0 354 011 discloses a fabric conditioning composition
  • a fabric conditioning composition comprising a cationic fabric conditioner having two C 15-22 alkyl or alkenyl groups and sufficient nonionic or amphoteric surfactant to lower the viscosity of the composition.
  • EP-A-0 125 031 discloses a liquid fabric softening composition comprising a cationic fabric softening agent, an amphoteric compound and a non-aqueous solvent.
  • EP-A-0 326 213 discloses a rinse conditioner comprising a water soluble amphoteric conditioning material and a co-active material. No reference is made to quaternary ammonium compounds having a single C 20 or above chain or two C 12-22 alkyl or alkenyl groups connected to the head group via at least one ester link.
  • EP-A-0 569 847 discloses a fabric conditioning composition which may comprise cationic actives and amphoteric surfactants, although no disclosure is made of the cationic actives being solubilised by the amphoteric surfactants.
  • US-A-4 789 491 discloses a specific process for the formulation of aqueous dispersions of cationic softening compounds. The process is said to overcome the difficulties of product viscosity and poor dispensing and dispersing on storage.
  • the physical stability of rinse added fabric softener compositions has been improved by the addition of viscosity control agents or anti-gelling agents.
  • viscosity control agents are added to certain concentrated compositions.
  • the agents may include C 10 -C 18 fatty alcohols.
  • EP-A-280 550 Unilever
  • EP-A-507 478 discloses a physically stable fabric softening composition comprising a water insoluble, biodegradable, ester-linked quaternary ammonium compounds and a nonionic stabilising agent.
  • EP-A-111074 is typical and uses a silica to carry the softener.
  • a disadvantage of using a carrier such as silica is that it bulks up the product and serves no function beyond making the powder compatible with other ingredients that may be contained in a washing powder.
  • EP-A-569 184 discloses use of a granular composition to form a pre-dilute which is then added to the dispenser drawer of the washing machine.
  • WO-A-92/18593 discloses a granular fabric softening composition which can be added to water to form an aqueous emulsion.
  • the composition contains a nonionic fabric softener such as a sorbitan ester and a mono-long chain alkyl cationic surfactant.
  • WO-A-93/23510 discloses liquid and solid fabric softeners comprising biodegradable diester quaternary ammonium fabric softening compounds and a viscosity and/or dispersibility modifier, the application also discloses specific processes for making these products.
  • the viscosity and/or dispersibility modifier may be a single long chain, alkyl cationic or a nonionic surfactant.
  • the solid composition when added to water forms an emulsion or dispersion.
  • US-A-3 892 669 discloses a clear, homogeneous, aqueous based liquid fabric softening composition and is limited to solubilised tetraalkyl quaternary ammonium salts having two short-chain alkyl groups and two long-chain alkyl groups, the longer chain groups having some methyl and ethyl branching.
  • the solubilisers comprise of aryl sulphonates, diols, ethers, low molecular weight quaternaries, sulphobetaines, and nonionic surfactants.
  • nonionic surfactants and phosphine oxides are not suitable for use alone and only have utility as auxiliary solubilisers.
  • the present invention discloses fabric softening compositions having excellent softening properties yet which exhibit excellent storage stability at both high and low temperatures, good freeze thaw recovery and excellent dispensability and dispersibility when the composition is concentrated and even when the fabric softening compound is concentrated to levels greater than 30 wt%. Furthermore compositions prepared according to our invention do not suffer from loss of softening performance.
