Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fabric care composition containing non-ionic softening compounds, antistatic agents and perfume. Particularly, it relates to a fabric care composition for use in the rinse cycle of a textile laundering operation to provide excellent fabric softening/static control benefits, and surprisingly improved perfume freshness and longevity.
  • the primary focus is on incorporation of the actives into the products and delivery of the actives onto the fabrics such that the treated fabrics exhibit the desired fabric care benefits.
  • Through-the-rinse applications pose special challenges in the area of effective deposition from the rinse medium to the fabrics.
  • fabric care actives having cationic moieties and long alkyl chains e.g., alkyl quats
  • certain detergent components e.g., anionic surfactant
  • anionic detergent components may interact with the cationic fabric care actives, forming cationic-anionic complexes that may precipitate out of the rinse medium and/or neutralize the softening actives.
  • the former reduces deposition onto fabrics and the latter reduces effectiveness of the fabric care actives.
  • prior fabric care compositions typically contain actives that require a low pH environment to be functional and stable.
  • such compositions also contain other important actives, such as certain perfume microcapsule materials, silicone surfactants, quaternary ammonium compounds, that may undergo changes or become unstable and/or non-functional at low pH. Therefore, active ingredients that are stable and function in a neutral or higher pH environment are desirable in formulating fabric care compositions.
  • nonionic fabric softening actives include fatty acid partial esters of polyhydric alcohols and anhydrides, especially sucrose esters, sorbitan esters, glycerol esters and polyglycerol esters. To ensure effective deposition onto fabrics, these nonionic fabric care actives may be used in combination with other co-actives or deposition agents.
  • compositions comprising nonionic fabric softening actives and/or deposition agents are disclosed in US 4,162,984 ; US 4,237,016 ; US 4,439,330 ; US 5,476,599 ; US 5,559,088 ; US 5,830,835 ; US 6,165,953 ; US 6,277,796 .
  • fragrance materials in the treatment product either fail to deposit onto the fabrics or are washed away. Additional amount of fragrance materials are released from the fabrics and lost through the dryer vent during the heat drying cycle. Each of these intrusions not only results in a diminished level of perfume raw materials, but also a loss of fragrance "balance" or aesthetic character. Since fragrance materials are expensive, the inefficient use in the product or in the delivery to fabrics results in a high cost to both the consumers and the product manufacturers.
  • fragrance materials have been found to react with amine-containing compounds and the resulting products have shown to provide long lasting perfume release from the treated fabrics. It has also been found that these fragrance materials and amine-containing compounds can be separately added to the product and still provide long lasting fragrance benefit.
  • the amine-assisted perfume delivery systems are disclosed in, for example, WO 00/02991 ; WO 00/02981 ; WO 00/02982 ; WO 00/02987 ; US 6,858,575 ; US 6,916,769 ; US 2003/0,134,772 ; US 2005/0,123,497 .
