Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dryer-added fabric treatment compositions which comprise a fragrance delivery system having enhanced fragrance longevity benefits for fabric.
  • the fragrance delivery system is a ternary system comprising one or more free perfume ingredients, a perfume admixture complexed with one or more cyclodextrins, and one or more ⁇ -ketoester pro-fragrances.
  • dryer-added fabric conditioning formulators have attempted to deliver a "fresh” or “clean” odor to washed clothing via the automatic dryer to provide an olfactory aesthetic benefit and to serve as a signal that the product is effective.
  • Dryer-added substrates are currently formulated with perfume and fragrance ingredients which are aesthetically pleasing to the consumer and which attempt to deliver a prolonged "fragrance” or “pleasurable smell” to fabric which has been laundered via automatic appliance.
  • fragrance raw materials are delivered to fabric by way of a substrate added fabric conditioning composition comprising one or more pro-fragrance compounds having high fabric substantivity and delayed release of fragrance.
  • the present invention meets the aforementioned needs in that it has been surprisingly discovered that fragrance raw materials can be delivered onto fabric "via dryer-added fabric conditioners" by way of a ternary component fragrance delivery system having high fabric substantivity and that the materials which comprise this system are capable of releasing their fragrance raw materials thereby imparting a "fresh" or “clean” aesthetic odor benefit to the fabric for an extended period of time. Therefore, in addition to the short-term pleasurable odor benefits, the fragrance delivery systems according to the present invention continue to release their fragrance raw materials for as long as several weeks depending upon the selection of delivery system components.
  • the first aspect of the present invention relates to dryer-added fabric conditioning compositions comprising:
  • a fabric conditioning composition said composition disposed on said sheet, and said composition comprising: a) from about 1% to about 80% by weight, of a fabric softening active; b) from about 0.1% by weight, of a fragrance delivery system, said fragrance delivery system comprising: i) from about 1% to about 50% by weight, of a ⁇ -ketoester pro- fragrance; ii) from about 50% to about 99% by weight, of a cyclodextrin inclusion complex delivered fragrance raw material admixture, said inclusion complex comprising: a) from about 8% to about 18% by weight of a fragrance raw material admixture; b) the balance one or more cyclodextrins; iii) from about 1% to about 90% by weight, of a fragrance raw material admixture comprising one or more fragrance raw materials; iv) the balance carriers; c) from about 0.01 % by weight, of a fabric color care agent; and d) the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients.
  • the present invention also relates to methods for providing extended fragrance benefits to fabric by contacting fabric in an automatic dryer with the fragrance delivery systems of the present invention.
  • the preset invention relates to dryer-added fabric softener compositions which provided an enhanced perfume or fragrance benefit to the consumer.
  • the novel fragrance delivery system of the present invention insures that the fabric will retain a pleasurable aesthetic quality for days, preferably weeks after the fabric has been treated by the dry-added material.
  • the dryer added fabric softening compositions of the present invention are deposited upon a substrate, preferably a sheet, and are used to provide an enhanced perfume benefit to fabric.
  • the fabric softening compositions of the present invention comprise from about 0.1%), preferably from about 1%, more preferably from about 5%, most preferably from about 10%) to about 20%, more preferably to about 15%> by weight, of a fragrance delivery system as described herein.
  • the fragrance delivery system of the present invention is a ternary component system wherein fragrance raw materials are delivered to fabric via three "vectors" or in three ways: a) by way of one or more cyclodextrin inclusion complexes; b) by way of an uncomplexed fragrance raw material admixture; and c) by way of a pro-fragrance.
  • the fragrance delivery system of the present invention comprises from about 50%, preferably from about 55%), more preferably from about 60%>, most preferably from about 65%> to about 99%>, preferably to about 95%>, more preferably to about 90% by weight of a cyclodextrin inclusion complex which comprises one or more fragrance raw materials which are complexed with one or more cyclodextrins.
  • the loading of fragrance raw materials in the cyclodextrin complexes of the present invention is from about 8%> to about 18%.
  • cyclodextrin includes any of the known cyclodextrins such as unsubstituted cyclodextrins containing from six to twelve glucose units, especially, alpha-, beta-, gamma-cyclodextrins, and mixtures thereof, and/or their derivatives, and/or mixtures thereof, that are capable of forming inclusion complexes with fragrance raw materials or pro-accords.
  • the specific coupling and conformation of the glucose units give the cyclodextrins a rigid, conical molecular structure with a hollow interior of a specific volume.
  • the "lining" of the internal cavity is formed by hydrogen atoms and glycosidic bridging oxygen atoms, therefore this surface is fairly hydrophobic.
  • the unique shape and physical-chemical properties of the cavity enable the cyclodextrin molecules to absorb (form inclusion complexes with) organic molecules such as fragrance raw material molecules which can fit into the cavity.
  • the fragrance raw material/cyclodextrin complex is thus an example of molecular encapsulation.
  • Beta-cyclodextrin is the most preferred cyclodextrin and the one whose complex benefits most from its affinity to form inclusion complexes.

It is known that most substances are able to absorb a liquid substance to some degree; however, the term "absorbent” as used herein, is intended to mean a substance with an absorbent capacity (i.e., a parameter representing a substrate's ability to take up and retain a liquid) from 4 to 12, preferably, 5 to 7, times its weight of water.

  • absorbent capacity 3.5 to 4
  • commercially available household one-ply toweling paper has a value of 5 to 6
  • commercially available two-ply household toweling paper has a value of 7 to about 9.5.
  • Using a substrate with an absorbent capacity of less than 4 tends to cause too rapid release of the fabric treatment composition from the substrate resulting in several disadvantages, one of which is uneven conditioning of the fabrics.
  • Using a substrate with an absorbent capacity over 12 is undesirable, inasmuch as too little of the fabric treatment composition is released to condition the fabrics in optimal fashion during a normal drying cycle.
  • Such a substrate comprises a nonwoven cloth having an absorbent capacity of preferably from about 5 to 7 and wherein the weight ratio of fabric treatment composition to substrate on a dry weight basis ranges from about 5:1 to 1 : 1.
  • Non-woven cloth substrate preferably comprises cellulosic fibers having a length of from 3/16 inch to 2 inches a denier of from 1.5 to 5 and the substrate is adhesively bonded together with a binder resin.
  • the flexible substrate preferably has openings sufficient in size and number to reduce restriction by said article of the flow of air through an automatic laundry dryer.
  • the better openings comprise a plurality of rectilinear slits extended along one dimension of the substrate.
  • the dispensing means will normally carry an effective amount of fabric treatment composition.
  • Such effective amount typically provides sufficient fabric conditioning agent and or anionic polymeric soil release agent for at least one treatment of a minimum load in an automatic laundry dryer.
  • Amounts of fabric treatment composition for multiple uses, e.g., up to about 30, can be used.
  • Typical amounts for a single article can vary from about 0.25g to about 100 gm.
  • One such article comprises sponge material releasably enclosing enough fabric treatment composition to effectively impart fabric soil release and softness benefits during several cycles of clothes.
  • This multi-use article can be made by filling a hollow sponge with about 20 gms of the fabric treatment composition.
  • the substrate embodiment of this invention can be used for imparting the above- described fabric treatment composition to fabric to provide softening and/or antistatic effects together with color fidelity benefits to fabric in an automatic laundry dryer.
  • the method of using the composition of the present invention comprises: commingling pieces of damp fabric by tumbling said fabric under heat in an automatic clothes dryer with an effective amount of the fabric treatment composition.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for using the fragrance delivery system of the present invention to provide fabric with enhanced fragrance longevity benefits delivered via the automatic dryer.
  • the method comprises the step of contacting clothing in an automatic dryer with an article of manufacture which comprises:
  • a fabric conditioning composition said composition disposed on said sheet, and said composition comprising: a) from about 1% to about 80% by weight, of a fabric softening active; b) from about 0.1 % by weight, of a fragrance delivery system, said fragrance delivery system comprising: i) from about 1%> to about 50%> by weight, of 3,7-dimethyl-l,6- octadien-3-yl 3-( ⁇ -naphthyl)-3-oxo-propionate; ii) from about 50% to about 99%> by weight, of a cyclodextrin inclusion complex delivered fragrance raw material admixture, said inclusion complex comprising: a) from about 8%> to about 18% by weight of a fragrance raw material admixture; b) the balance one or more cyclodextrins; iii) from about 1%> to about 90% by weight, of a fragrance raw material admixture comprising one or more fragrance raw materials; iv) the fragrance delivery
