Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a softener composition for imparting flexibility to fibers and clothing. More specifically,
The present invention relates to a liquid softener composition having good fragrance stability, which is capable of improving the scent of clothing treated with the same during dehydration and the residual scent after drying.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Important factors in selecting a softening agent to be used for washing clothes are the degree of flexibility and antistatic property imparted to the clothes, but the composition itself is not suitable. Is also an important factor in selecting a soft finish. For this reason, a fragrance is compounded in most of the soft finishes, and various measures are taken to stabilize the fragrance and the like (for example, JP-A-8-13335 and JP-A-8-113871). And JP-A-8-246345).

[0003] Here, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-13335 discloses that a tertiary amine (or a neutralized product thereof or a quaternized product thereof with an inorganic or organic acid), a fatty acid and a specific fragrance are contained. A softener composition having a pH of 6 or less is disclosed. This softener composition can impart sufficient flexibility and antistatic property to various types of clothing without causing a change in fragrance even when stored in a low pH range.

[0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-113871 discloses a softener composition containing a long-chain fatty acid, a specific amine compound, a specific fragrance and a specific alcohol. This softener composition can impart good texture, sufficient flexibility and antistatic properties to various fibers, and does not generate fatty acid odor during storage.

JP-A-8-246345 discloses that a soft base containing at least one ester bond, a specific nonionic activator, ethanol and a fragrance are contained.
Two to five liquid softener compositions are disclosed. The softener composition has excellent stability of aroma during storage, and also suppresses a decrease in aroma after storage for a long period of time.

[0006]

By the way, in selecting a softening agent, recently, not only the scent of a new softening agent and the scent after its long-term storage, but also the washing process when the softening agent is used. From the drying process to wearing
In particular, enjoyment of the aroma in the clothing immediately after the dehydration treatment and in the clothing after drying is also an important factor in selecting the soft finish.

However, the above publication (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
No. 13335, JP-A-8-113871, and JP-A-8-246345) do not consider the fragrance of the treated clothing at all. Therefore, development of a softener composition in consideration of the scent of the treated clothing has been awaited.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is intended to provide a garment which has been treated without affecting the feel, flexibility and antistatic property of the garment after washing. An object of the present invention is to provide a softener composition which can improve the fragrance at the time of dehydration and the residual scent after drying.

After washing (30 liter washing machine) to remove the fiber treating agent adhering to the fibers, 3.0 g of the softener composition shown in Tables 8 and 9 was added, and the mixture was stirred at 25 ° C. for 1 minute. Processed. Next, the fabric treated with the softener composition is treated with a vortex dehydrator for 2 minutes, air-dried indoors, and then at 25 ° C. and 65% RH.
And dried for 24 hours in a constant temperature and humidity room.

(2) Evaluation method of flexibility Regarding the flexibility after drying, the fabric was treated with 20 ml of a softening agent composed of 15% by weight of di-hardened tallow alkyldimethylammonium chloride, dried, and a pair was compared with a cloth as a control.
Evaluation was made according to the following evaluation criteria.

Flexibility evaluation criteria +2: Softer than control +1: Slightly softer than control 0: Same as control -1: Slightly softer than control -2: Softer than control

(3) Evaluation of scent standing strength of dewatered cloth The cloth immediately after dehydration was air-conditioned odorless at 25 ° C.
In a 65% RH constant temperature / humidity room, the fragrance intensity was evaluated in six steps according to the following evaluation criteria.

Evaluation criteria of aroma standing 0: Odorless 1: Degree of barely perceptible 2: Weak smell to know what smell 3: Easy smell 4: Strong smell 5: Strong smell

(4) Evaluation of residual fragrance intensity of dried cloth The dried cloth was air-conditioned odorless at 25 ° C.
In a 5% RH constant temperature / humidity room, the fragrance intensity was evaluated in six steps according to the following evaluation criteria.

Evaluation criteria for residual odor 0: no odor 1: barely perceivable 2: weak odor to know what odor 3: easily odor 4: strong odor 5: intense odor
