The presence of water exerts an important effect on the need of the main solvents ^ P to achieve the transparency of these compositions. 5 The higher the water content, the higher the level of the main solvent (in relation to the level of softener) necessary to achieve product transparency. Conversely, the lower the water content, the lower the need for the main solvent (in ^ relationship with the softener). Accordingly, at low water levels of about 5% to 15%, the proportion of active softening ingredient to principal solvent is preferably about 55:45 to 85:15, more preferable about 60:40 to 80:20. In water levels approximately from 15% to 70%, the proportion by weight of Main active solvent softener preferably is around 45:55 to 70:30, more preferable about 55:45 to 70:30. But at water levels greater than about 70% to 80%, the weight ratio of softening active ingredient The main solvent is preferably from about 30:70 to 55:45, more preferable about 35:65 to 45:55. At higher water levels, the proportions of softener to principal solvent must be even higher.

The pH of the compositions should be about 1 to 7, preferably about 1.5 to 5, more preferably about 2 to 3.5.

The octanol / water partition coefficient is the ratio between its equilibrium concentration in octanol and in water. The coefficients of partition of the main solvent ingredients of this The invention is conveniently given in the form of its base 10 logarithm, logP. The logP of many ingredients has been reported, - for example, the Pomona92 database, available in Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylight CIS), Irvine, California, contains many, along with citations to the original literature. However, the logP values are calculated much more conveniently by the "CLOGP" program, also available in Daylight CIS. This program it also lists experimental logP values when they are available in the Pomona92 database. The calculated logP (ClogP) is determined by the fragmented method of Hansch fl and Leo (cf., A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemestry, 5 Vol 4, C. Hansch, PG Sammens, JB Taylor and CA Ramdsen, Eds., P. 295, Pergamon Press, 1990, incorporated herein by reference). The fragmented method is based on the chemical structure of each ingredient, and takes into account the numbers and types of atoms, the atomic connectivity and the ^ Chemical links. The ClogP values, which are the most reliable and widely used estimates for this psychemic property, are preferably used in place of the experimental logP values in the selection of the main solvent-ingredients which are useful in the present invention. Other methods that can be used ß? for the calculation of ClogP include, for example, the Crippen fragmentation method as described in J.Chem. Inf. Comput.Sci, 27.21 (1987); the method of Viswanadhan fragmentation as described in J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 29, 163 (1989); and Broto method as described in Eur. J. Med. Chem. -Chim. Theor. , 19.71 (1984). The main solvents herein are selected from those having an approximate ClogP of 0.15 to 0.64, preferably from about 0.25 to 0.62, and more preferable from about 0.40 to 0.60, said main solvent is preferably asymmetric, and preferably has a melting or solidification point that allows it to be liquid 9j) at or near room temperature. Solvents that have a low molecular weight and are biodegradable are also desirable for some purposes. -While solvents are more asymmetric they seem to be more desirable, while highly symmetrical solvents, which have a center of symmetry, such as 1,7-heptanediol, or 1,4- ^) bis (hydroxymethyl) cyclohexane, appear to be incapable of providing essentially transparent compositions when used alone, even if their ClogP values fall within the preferred range. The most appropriate principal solvent can be selected by determining whether a composition containing about 16-20% main solvent, and about 4-6% fl) of ethanol remains clear during storage at about 4.4 ° C and is recovered after being frozen at about -18 ° c. The most preferred main solvents can to be identified by the appearance of the freeze-dried diluted treatment compositions used to treat fabrics. These diluted compositions appear to have fabric softener dispersions that exhibit a more unilamellar appearance than the softener compositions of conventional cloth. The closer to unilaminar is the appearance, the compositions seem to behave better. These compositions provide surprisingly good fabric fleece when compared to similar compositions prepared in the conventional manner, especially when perfume is added to the compositions at, or near, room temperature. The main operable solvents are listed below in several listings, for example, diols fl | aliphatic or alicyclic with a given number of carbon atoms; monooles; glycerin derivatives; alkoxylates of diols; and mixtures of all the above. The preferred major solvents are in italics and the most preferred are in bold. The reference numbers are 15 the registration numbers of the Chemical Synopsis Service f) (CAS No.) for those compounds that have this number. The novel compounds have an identified method, described hereinafter, which can be used to prepare the compounds. Some inoperable main solvents are also listed below for comparison purposes. However, the main inoperable solvents can be used in mixtures with operable main solvents. The main operable solvents can be used to make fabric softening compositions that comply with the stability / transparency requirements defined herein. Many diol main solvents that can have the same chemical formula can exist as many stereoisomers and / or optical isomers. Each isomer is normally assigned to a different CAS number. For example, different isomers of 4-methyl-1,2, 3-hexanediol are assigned to at least the following CAS numbers: 146452-51-9; 146452-50-8; 146452-49-5; 146452-48-4; 123807-f 34-1; 123807-33-0; 123807-32-9; and 123807-31-8. In the following listings, for simplicity, each chemical formula is listed as a single CAS number. This description is for exemplification only and is sufficient to allow the practice of the invention. The description is not limiting. Consequently, it is understood that other fl) isomers with other CAS numbers and their mixtures are also included. In the same way, when a CAS number represents a molecule that contains some particular isotopes, for example, deuterium, tritium, carbon-13, etc., it is understood that materials containing naturally distributed isotopes are also included, and vice versa. The methods discussed to prepare the solvents are amply described in the pending application, serial number 08 / 679,694, filed on 11 July 1996 on behalf of E.H. Wahl, T. Trinh, E.P. Gosselink, J.C. Letton and M.R. Sivik, by Fabric Softening Compound / Composition, said application is incorporated herein by reference.

There are no mono-oles of 1 to 2 carbon atoms that provide the clear concentrated fabric softening compositions of this invention. Only a mono-ol, n-propanol, provides acceptable performance (forms a transparent product and keeps it transparent at a temperature of about 4 ° C, or allows it to recover subjected to reheating at room temperature), however its boiling point (PE) is undesirably low. Of the mono-oles of 4 carbon atoms, only 2-butanol and fl 2-methyl-2-propanol provide very good performance, but 2-methyl-2-propanol has an undesirably low PE. There are no mono-oles of 5 to 6 carbon atoms that provide transparent products except the unsaturated mono-oles described above and hereinafter. It has been found that some major solvents fl} having two hydroxyl groups in their chemical formulas are suitable for use in the formulation of the clear, liquid, concentrated fabric softener compositions of this invention. It has been found that the suitability of each principal solvent is surprisingly very selective, depending on the number of carbon atoms, the degree of flj) unsaturation, etc. The main solvents with solubility characteristics similar to the previous main solvents and which have at least some asymmetry will provide the same benefit. It has been It was discovered that the appropriate main solvents have an approximate ClogP of 0.15 to 0.64, preferably of about 0.25 to 0.62, and more preferably of about 0.40 to 0.60.

For example, for the series of main solvents 1, -alkanodiol having the general formula H0-CH2-CHOH- (CHj) nH, where n is from 1 to 8, only 1, 2-hexanediol flJ (n = 4), which has a ClogP value of about 0.53, which is within the effective ClogP range of about 0.15 to 0.64, is a good principal solvent, and is within the claims of this invention, while the others, for example, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1, 2-pentanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-decanediol, which have ClogP values ^ out of the effective range of 0.15 to 0.64, they are not, furthermore, of the hexanediol isomers, again, 1,2-hexanediol is a good principal solvent, while many other isomers are 1, 3 - hexanediol, 1,4-hexanediol, 1,5-hexanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 2,4-hexanediol and 2,5-hexanediol; that have ClogP values outside the effective range of 0.15 to fl ^ 0.64, are not.

Of the nonano isomers, only 2,3,3,4- ^ tetramethyl-2,4-pentadiol is highly preferred. In addition to the major solvents aliphatic diols and some of their alkoxylated derivatives, described above and hereinafter, it was also found that some "specific dichloride ethers are solvents main suitable for the formulation of compositions ^ Liquid, concentrated, transparent fabric softeners of the present invention. Similar to the main aliphatic diol solvents, it was found that the suitability of each main solvent is very selective, depending for example on the number of carbon atoms in the specific diol ether molecules. For example, as shown in Table VI, for the series of glyceryl esters having the formula HOCH2-CHOH-CH2-O-R, wherein R is alkyl of 2 to 8 carbon atoms, only monopentyl ethers with the formula HOCHi-CHOH-CHi-O-CsHxx (3 -pentyloxy-1,2-propanediol), wherein the group C5H ?? it comprises different pentyl isomers, have flLl ClogP values of about 0.25 to 0.62 and are suitable for the formulation of the transparent fabric softeners, liquids, concentrates of the present invention. These are illustrated by the examples and comparative examples XXXIIA-7 to XXXIIA-7F. It was also found that the cyclohexenyl derivative is appropriate, but not the cyclopentyl derivative. Similarly, selectivity is demonstrated in the selection of arylglyceryl ethers. Of the many possible aromatic groups, only a few phenol derivatives are appropriate. The same narrow selectivity is also found for the di (hydroxyalkyl) ethers. It has been ^ discovered that the bis (2-hydroxybutyl) ether is appropriate, but not the bis (2-hydroxypentyl) ether. For the di (cyclic hydroxyalkyl) analogs, the bis (2-hydroxycyclopentyl) ether is appropriate, but not the bis (2-hydroxycyclohexyl) ether. Non-limiting examples of synthesis methods for the preparation of some di (hydroxyalkyl) ethers are presented below.

The unsaturated homologs / analogues have the same formulability as the predecessor saturated main solvent, with the proviso that the main unsaturated solvents have a methylene group additional (ie, CH2) for each double bond in the chemical formula. In other words, there is an apparent "rule of addition" in which for each saturated primary solvent From this invention, which is suitable for the formulation of concentrated, clear, fabric softening compositions, there are suitable unsaturated major solvents where one or more CH2 groups are added while, for each added CH2 group, two atoms are removed. of hydrogen from carbon atoms ? adjacent to the molecule to form a carbon-carbon double bond, thus keeping constant the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule with respect to the chemical formula of the saturated main solvent "predecessor". This is due to the surprising fact that adding a group - 15 CH2 - to a chemical solvent formula has an effect of fl) increasing the ClogP value by about 0.53, while removing two adjacent hydrogen atoms to form a double bond has a effect of decreasing _ its ClogP value by approximately a similar amount, namely 0.48, thus compensating for the addition of CH2. Accordingly, one goes from a saturated main solvent to the preferred higher molecular weight unsaturated analogs / homologs containing at least one carbon atom plus by inserting a double bond for each additional CH2 group, and thus the total number of Hydrogen atoms remain the same as in the predecessor saturated solvent, while the ClogP value of the new solvent remains within the effective range of 0.15-0.64, f | preferably around 0.25 to 0.62, and more preferably 5 of about 0.40 to 0.60.

The 8-hydroxylinalool (CAS No. 103619-06-3, 2,5-dimethyl-2,7-octadiene-l, 6-diol) is a preferred main solvent of 10 carbon atoms and can be considered to be derived by appropriately adding two CH2 groups and two double bonds to any of the following preferred diol main solvents of 8 carbon atoms: 2-methyl-1,5-heptanediol; 5-methyl-l, 5-heptanediol; 2-methyl-l, 6- heptanediol; 6-methyl-l, 6-heptanediol, - or 2, -dimethyl-l, 4-hexanediol. 2,7-Dimethyl-3,7-octadiene-2,5-diol (CAS No.

^ P 171436-39-8) is a preferred diol main solvent of 10 5 carbon atoms and can be considered to be derived by appropriately adding two CH2 groups and two double bonds to any of the following preferred diol solvents of 8 carbon atoms: 2, 5-octanediol; 6-methyl-1,4-heptane diol; 2-methyl-2,4-heptanediol; 6-methyl-2,4-flk heptanediol; 2-methyl-2,5-heptanediol; 6-methyl-2,5-heptanediol; and 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexanediol. 4-Butyl-2-butene-1,4-diol (CAS No. 153943-66-9) is a preferred diol main solvent of 8 carbon atoms and may be considered to be derivatized by adding A CH2 group and a double bond are suitably attached to any of the following preferred diol solvents of 7 carbon atoms: 2-propyl-l, 4-butanediol or 2-butyl-l, 3-propanediol. In the same way, there are cases where a counterpart higher molecular weight unsaturated which is derived from an inoperable poor saturated solvent, is itself a poor solvent. For example, 3, 5-dimethyl-5-hexene-2, 4-diol (for example CAS No. 160429-40-3) is a poor unsaturated solvent of 8 carbon atoms, and can considered to be derived from the following poor saturated solvents of 7 carbon atoms: 3-methyl-2,4-hexanediol; 5- methyl-2,4-hexanediol; or 2, 4-dimethyl-I, 3-pentanediol; and fl 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptene-1,2-diol (eg, CAS No. 141505-7 71-7) is a poor unsaturated solvent of 9 carbon atoms, and may be considered to be derived from the following poor saturated solvents of 8 carbon atoms: 2-methyl-1,2-heptanediol; 6-methyl-1,2-heptanediol; or 2, 5-dimethyl-l, 2-hexanediol. It has also been found that there is an exception in the previous addition rule, in which the main saturated solvents always have unsaturated analogues / homologues with the same degree of acceptability. The exception refers to the main solvents diol saturates having the two hydroxyl groups located in aphix two adjacent carbon atoms. In some cases, but not always, inserting one or more CH2 groups between the two adjacent hydroxyl groups of a poor solvent results in an unsaturated homologue of higher molecular weight than is more suitable for the transparent, concentrated, fabric softening formulation. For example, it can be considered to derive the preferred unsaturated 6,6-dimethyl-1-heptene-3, 5-diol (CAS No. 109788-01-4) which has no adjacent hydroxyl groups, from 2, 2-dimethyl- 3, 4-hexanediol inoperable, which has adjacent hydroxyl groups. In this case, it is more reliable to consider that 6,6-dimethyl-1-heptane-3, 5-diol is derived from 2-methyl-3,5-heptanediol or ^^ of 5, 5-dimethyl-2,4-hexanediol which are solvents preferred principals and do not have adjacent hydroxyl groups. Conversely, inserting CH2 groups between adjacent hydroxyl groups of a preferred principal solvent may result in an inoperable, higher molecular weight unsaturated solvent-diol. For example, it can be considered to derive the unsaturated unsaturated 2,4-dimethyl-5-hexene-2,4-diol (CAS No. 87604-24-8) which has no adjacent hydroxyl groups, starting from 2, 3- Preferred dimethyl-2, 3- pentanediol which has adjacent hydroxyl groups In this case, it is more reliable to derive the unsaturated operable 2, 4-dimethyl-5-hexene-2,4-diol either "2-methyl-2,4-hexanediol or 4-methyl-2,4-hexanediol, which are inoperable solvents and do not They have adjacent hydroxyl groups, and there are also cases where an inoperable unsaturated solvent can be considered to be derived. has no adjacent hydroxyl groups, from an inoperable solvent having adjacent hydroxyl groups, such as par 4, 5-dimethyl-6-hexene-1,3-diol and 3,4-cimethyl-l, 2-pentanediol. Consequently, in order to deduce the formulability of an unsaturated solvent that does not have groups adjacent hydroxyl, start from a saturated low molecular weight homologue that also does not have adjacent hydroxyl groups. That is, in general, the ^^ relationship is more reliable when the distance / ratio of the two hydroxyl groups is maintained. That is, it is reliable to start from a solvent saturated with adjacent hydroxyl groups to deduce the formulability of the higher molecular weight unsaturated homologs that also have adjacent hydroxyl groups. It has been discovered that the use of specific major alcohol solvents can produce stable, low viscosity, transparent fabric softening compositions at surprisingly low primary solvent levels, ie, less than 40% by weight the composition when the softening active ingredients "Have VI and cis / trans ratios has also been discovered that the use of the principal alcohol solvents can produce softener compositions highly concentrated fabric, which are stable and can be 0 diluted, for example, about 2:. 1 to 10 : 1, to produce compositions with lower levels of fabric softener that are still stable As previously discussed, it is desirable that the main solvents are kept in the lowest possible levels in the present compositions to obtain translucency or transparency. The presence of water exerts an important effect on the need for solvents ^^ Main to obtain transparency of these compositions. The higher the water content, the higher the level of the main solvent (in relation to the level of softener) necessary to achieve product transparency. Conversely, the lower the water content, the less solvent is needed (in relation to the softener). Thus, at low water levels of about 5% to 15%, the weight ratio of active softener to principal solvent is preferably from about 55:45 to 85:15, more preferable from about 60:40 to 80: twenty. At water levels of about 15% to 70%, the weight ratio of main active solvent softener is preferably from ^ * about 45:55 to 70:30, more preferable about 55:45 to 70:30. But at high water levels of around 70% to 80%, the weight ratio of active softener to principal solvent is preferably about 30:70 to 55:45, more preferably from about 35:65 to 45:55. At even higher water levels, the main solvent softener relationships should be even higher. Mixtures of the above main solvents are particularly preferred, since one of the problems associated with Large amounts of solvents is protection. The mixtures decrease the amount of any other material that is present. Odor and flammability can be ™ also minimized through the use of mixtures, especially when one of the main solvents is volatile or has an odor, which is more likely for low molecular weight materials. Suitable solvents that can be used at levels that would not be sufficient to produce a clear product are 2,2,4-fljl trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; the ethoxylated, diethoxylated or triethoxylated derivatives of 2, 2, 4 -trimethyl-1, 3-pentanediol; the ethoxylated, diethoxylated or triethoxylated derivatives of 2,, 4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; and / or 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol. For the purposes of this invention, These solvents should only be used at levels that will not provide a stable or transparent product. Preferred mixtures are those where the majority of the solvent is one, or more, of those that have been identified herein as most preferred. The use of mixtures of Solvents are also preferred, especially when one or more of the main solvents are solids at room temperature. In this case, the blends are fluid, or have lower melting points, thus improving the processability of the softening compositions.

It has also been found possible to replace part of a principal solvent or a mixture of principal solvents of this invention with a secondary solvent, or a mixture of secondary solvents, which by themselves are not 5 operable as a principal solvent of this invention, "as long as an effective amount of the main solvent (s) of this invention is still present in the concentrated, transparent fabric softener composition, an effective amount of the main solvent (s) ( It is ? this invention is at least greater than about 5%, preferably more than about 7%, more preferably greater than about 10% of the composition, when at least about 15% of the active softener is also present. The substitute solvent (s) can be used in any level, but preferably almost equal to, or less ^^ a, the amount of operable master solvent, as defined above, which is present in the fabric softening composition. For example, even when 1,2-pentanediol, 1,3-20 octanediol and the hydroxy pivalyl hydroxy pivalate (hereinafter HPHP), having the following formula: H0-CH2-C (CH3) 2-CH2-0-C0-C (CH3) 2-CH2-0H (CAS # 115-20-4) are inoperable solvents according to this invention, the mixtures of these solvents with the main solvent, for example, with the preferred main solvent 1,2- ^ hexanediol, where the main solvent 1,2-hexanediol is present in effective levels , also provides transparent, concentrated fabric softening compositions. Some of the secondary solvents that can be used are those listed as inoperable above ™ J 'and hereafter, as well as some predecessor, non-alkoxylated solvents shown in Tables VIIIA-VIIIE. The main solvent can be used either to make a translucent or transparent composition, or to reduce the temperature at which the composition is translucent or transparent. Thus, the invention also ^ includes the method for adding the main solvent, at the levels previously indicated, to a composition that is not translucent, or transparent, or that has a temperature where too high instability occurs, to make the Translucent or transparent composition, or when the composition is clear, for example, at room temperature, or below a specific temperature, to reduce the temperature at which instability occurs, preferably at least about 5 ° C, more preferable to the less near 10 ° C. The main advantage of the main solvent is that it provides the maximum advantage for a given solvent weight. It is understood that "solvent" as used herein, refers to the effect of the main solvent and not to its physical form at a given temperature, since some of the major solvents are solids at room temperature.

ALKYL LACTATES Some ethers of alkyl lactates, for example, ethyl lactate and isopropyl lactate, have ClogP values within the effective range of about 0.15 to 0. 64, and can form clear, concentrated fabric softening compositions with the softening active ingredients of this invention, but need to be used at a slightly higher level than the more effective diol solvents such as 1,2-hexanediol. They may also be used to replace some of the other major solvents of this invention to form clear, concentrated fabric softening compositions. This is illustrated in the example I-C III. OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS (A) Solvents soluble in water of low weight ^ * molecular can also be used at levels from 0% to 12%, preferably from about 1% to 10%, more preferably from about 2% to 8%. Water-soluble solvents can not provide a transparent product at the same low levels of principal solvents described above, but can provide a transparent product when the The main solvent is not enough to provide a completely transparent product. The presence of these water-soluble solvents is therefore highly desirable.

These solvents include, ethanol, isopropanol; 1,2-propanediol; 1,3-propanediol; propylene carbonate, etc., but do not include any of the main solvents (B).

^ These water-soluble solvents have a higher affinity for water in the presence of hydrophobic materials as active softeners than the main solvents.20 (B) POLISHERS The compositions herein may also optionally contain about 0.005% to 5% by weight of certain types of hydrophilic optical brighteners that they also provide an inhibition action of color transfer.

(C) OPTIONAL VISCOSITY / DISPERSIBILITY MODIFIERS 20 Relatively concentrated compositions containing saturated and unsaturated diester quaternary ammonium compounds can be made stable without the addition of concentration aids. However, compositions of the present invention may require organic and / or inorganic concentrating aids to achieve even higher concentrations and / or to comply with «I stability standards depending on the others ingredients These concentration aids which typically can be viscosity modifiers, may be necessary, or preferred, to ensure stability under extreme conditions when using levels of particular softening active ingredients. The concentration auxiliary surfactant lffs are typically selected from the group consisting of (1) simple long chain alkyl cationic surfactants; (2) nonionic surfactants; (3) amine oxides, - (4) fatty acids; and (5) mixtures thereof.

The long single chain materials correspond to the softening active ingredients discussed previously, where only one R1 group is present in the molecule. The group Rl or the group YR1, is usually replaced by a group R. ™ Although the main function of the auxiliary " of dispersibility is to increase the dispersibility of the ester softener, preferably the dispersibility aids of the present invention also have some softening properties to boost the softening performance of the composition. Accordingly, preferably the compositions of the present invention are essentially free of non-nitrogenated ethoxylated nonionic dispersion aids, which will reduce the overall softening performance of the compositions. _ ^ Also, the quaternary compounds that have a long simple alkyl chain, can protect the The cationic softener is to interact with ammonium surfactants and / or detergency builders which are transported to the rinse from the wash solution.

(E) MUGRE'S ELIMINATING AGENT In the present invention, an optional grime remover may be added. The addition of the soil release agent can occur in combination with the premix, in combination with the acid / water seat, before or after the addition of electrolyte, or after that the final composition is elaborated. The softening composition prepared by the process of the present invention may contain from 0% to about 10%, ™ 'preferably from 0.2% to about 5% of a soil removing agent. Preferably, this grime remover is a polymer. The grime removal agents useful in the present invention include copolymer blocks of terephthalate and polyethylene oxide or polypropylene oxide, and the like. fl,) A preferred soil removal agent is a copolymer having blocks of terephthalate and polyethylene oxide. More specifically, these polymers are composed of repeating units of ethylene terephthalate terephthalate of polyethylene oxide in a molar ratio. units of ethylene terephthalate to fljl terephthalate oxide units. polyethylene from about 25:75 to 35:65, said e.thylene oxide terephthalate contains polyethylene oxide blocks having molecular weights of about 300 to 2000. The molecular weight of this agent grime remover is on the scale of about 5,000 to 55,000. Another preferred grime remover is a crystallizable polyester with repeated units of ethylene terephthalate units containing from about 10% a about 25% by weight of the ethylene terephthalate units together with from about 10% to 50% by weight units of polyethylene oxide terephthalate, derivatives ^ a polyethylene glycol of approximate average molecular weight from 300 to 6,000, and the molar ratio of ethylene terephthalate units to polyoxyethylene terephthalate units in the crystallizable polymer compound is between 2: 1 and 6: 1. Examples of this polymer include the commercially available materials Zelcon 4780® (from lOWDupont) and Milease T® (from ICI). The most preferred filtering agents are polymers of the generic formula: O O O O 15 X- (OCH2CH2) p (0-C-R14-C-OR15) u (0-C-R4-OC-0) (CH2-CH20-) n-X In which each X can be an appropriate crown group, with each X typically being selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl or acyl groups containing from about 1 to 4 carbon atoms, p is selected for its solubility in water and generally it is about 6 to 112, preferably about 20 to 50. U is critical for the formulation in a liquid composition having a relatively high ionic strength. There will be very few materials in which u is greater than 10. Furthermore, there must be at least 20%, preferably at least 40%, of material in which u reaches about 3 to 5. ^ 'The portions R14 are essentially portions 1,4- 5 pentylene. As used herein, the term "the R14 portions are essentially portions 1, 4 -pentylene" refers to the compounds where the R14 portions consist entirely of 1, 4-pentylene portions, or are substituted-Partially with other arylene portions or alkarylene, alkenyl portions, alkenylene portions, or mixtures thereof. The arylene and alkarylene portions which may be partially substituted by 1,4-phenylene include 1,3-phenylene, 1,2-phenylene, 1,8-naphne-ylene, 1,4-naphthylene, 2,2-biphenylene, 4, 4-biphenylene, 4, 4-biphenylene, and mixtures thereof same. The alkylene and alkenylene portions which may be partially substituted include 1,3-propylene, 1,4-butylene, 1,5-pentylene, 1,6-hexamethylene, 1,7-heptamethylene, 1,8-octamethylene, , 4-cyclohexene and mixtures thereof. For the R14 portions, the degree of partial substitution with portions other than 1,4-phenylene should be such that the dirt removal properties of the compound are not adversely affected to any great extent. Generally the degree of partial substitution that can be tolerated depends on the length of the main structure of the composite, that is, longer main structures may have larger partial replacements for the 1, 4-phenylene portions, usually the compounds, where the R14 contains around from 50% to 100% of 1, 4-phenylene portions (from 0% to about 50% of portions other than 1,4-phenylene) have a suitable grime removal activity, for example, polyesters made in accordance with The present invention with a ratio of lIPJ 'moles of 40:60 of isophthalic acid (1,3-phenylene) to terephthalic acid (1,4-phenylene) have a suitable grime removal activity. Most polyesters used in the manufacture of fibers contain units of ethylene terephthalate, usually desirable minimize the degree of partial substitution with portions WV other than 1, 4-phenylene for better grime removal activity. Preferably, the portions R14 consist entirely (i.e., contain 100%) in 1,4-phenylene portions, that is, each R 14 portion is 1,4-20 phenylene. For the R15 portions, the appropriate ethylene or substituted ethylene portions include ethylene, 1,2-propylene, 1,2-butylene, 1,2-hexylene, 3-methoxy-1, 2-propylene, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the R15 portions are essentially ethylene portions, portions 1, 2 -propylene, or mixtures thereof. The inclusion of a higher percentage of ethylene portions tends to improve the.

^ Elimination activity of dirt from the compounds ._ Surprisingly, the inclusion of a higher percentage of 1,2-propylene portions tends to improve the water solubility of the compounds. Accordingly, the use of 1,2-polypropylene portions or a similar branched equivalent is pJ! desirable for the incorporation of any substantial part of the soil removal component in liquid fabric softening compositions. Preferably, about 75% to 100% are 1, 2- ropylene portions. The value for each p is at least about 6, and preferably at least about 10. The value for each n ^ usually reaches about 12 to 113. Typically, the value for each p is in the range of about 12 to 43.

These grime removal agents can also act as foam dispersants. or (F) FOAM DISPERSANT In the present invention, the premix can be combined with an optional foam dispersant, other than the grime removal agent, and heated to a temperature up to or above the melting point (s) of the ^ components. The preferred foam dispersants herein are formed by highly ethoxylating hydrophobic materials.

(I) CHELATING AGENTS 20 The compositions and methods herein may occasionally employ one or more chelating agents ("chelators") of copper or nickel. These water-soluble chelating agents can be selected from the group consisting of amine carboxylates, amino phosphonates, polyfunctionally substituted aromatic chelating agents and mixtures thereof, as defined below. The whiteness and / or gloss of the fabrics 5 are substantially improved or restored by these chelating agents and the stability of the materials in the compositions is improved. Amine carboxylates useful as chelating agents herein include those ^ l ethylenediaminetetraacetates (EDTA), N-hydroxyethylenediaminetriacetates, nitrilotriacetates (NTA), ethylenediamine tetrapropionates, NN'-ethylenediamine diglutamates, N, N'-2-hydroxypropylenediamine disuccinates, triethylenetetramine hexaacetates, diethylenetriaminepentaacetates (DTPA), and ethanediglycine, ^ 'including its water soluble salts such as the alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts and mixtures thereof. The amino phosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the invention when at least low levels of total phosphorus are allowed in the detergent compositions, and include ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates), diethylenetriamine-N, N, N ', N ", N" -pentakis (methane-phosphonate) (DETMP) and 1-hydroxyethane-1, 1-diphosphonate (HEDP).

Preferably, these amino phosphathates do not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than 6 carbon atoms. Chelating agents are typically used in ^ * the current rinse procedure at approximate levels of 2 ppm to 25 ppm, for periods of 1 minute to several hours of soaking. The preferred EDDS chelator used in this (also known as N-N'-ethylenediamine disuccinate) is the material described in US Pat. No. 4,704,233, cited hereinabove, and has the formula (shown in free acid form): HN (L) C2H4N (L) H wherein L is a group CH2 (COOH) CH2_ (COOH). ^ P ^ As described in the patent, EDDS can be prepared using maleic anhydride and ethylenediamine. The preferred biodegradable [S, S] isomer of EDDS can be prepared by reacting L-aspartic acid with 1,2-20 dibromoethane. EDDS has advantages over other chelators in that it is effective for chelating copper and nickel cations, is available in biodegradable form, and does not contain phosphorus. The EDDS used herein as a chelator is typically in its salt form, ie in where one or more of the four acidic hydrogens is replaced by a water-soluble M cation, such as sodium, potassium, ammonium, trimethylammonium and the like. How it was made ^ 'Notice above, the EDDS chelator is also used typically in the present rinse process at approximate levels of 2 ppm to 25 ppm for periods from 1 minute to several hours of soaking. At certain pH the EDDS are preferably used with zinc cations. A wide variety of chelators can be used in the present. Undoubtedly, simple polycarboxylates, such as citrate, oxydisuccinate, and the like, can also be used, although these chelators are not as effective as amino carboxylates and phosphonates, on a weight basis. According to this, the levels of use can be adjusted to take the grades into account ^ V different chelating effectiveness. Chelators of the present preferably will have a constant stability (of the fully ionized chelator) for copper ions of at least about 5, preferably at At least about 7. Typically, chelators will contain about 0.5% to 10%, more preferably about 0.75% to 5%, by weight of the compositions herein, in addition to those which are stabilizers. The Preferred chelators include DEMTP, DETPA, NTA, EDDS and mixtures thereof.

(J) CATIÓNIC POLYMERS 5 The compositions herein may contain from about 0.001% to 10%, preferably about 0.01% to 5%, more preferably from about 0.1% to 2%, of catidic polymer, which typically has a weight molecular lfl, * about 500 to 1,000,000, preferably about 1,000 to 500,000, more preferable about 1,000 to 250,000, and even more preferable about 2,000 to 100,000, and a charge density of at least about 0.01 meq / gm. , preferably from about 0.1 to 8 meq / gm, more preferable from about 0.5 to 7, and even more preferable from about 2 to 6.

In order to provide the benefits of the cationic polymers, and especially the cationic polymers containing amine, or imine groups, said cationic polymer is preferably primarily in the aqueous phase continues. The cationic polymers of the present invention can be amine salts or quaternary ammonium salts. Preferred are quaternary ammonium salts. These include catidnic derivatives of natural polymers such as some polysaccharides, gums, starch and certain synthetic catidnic polymers such as polymers and copolymers of cationic vinylpyridine or vinylpyridinium halides.

^^ Preferably the polymers are soluble in water, per instance up to the extent of at least 0.5% by weight at 20 ° C. Preferably they have molecular weights of from about 600 to 1,000,000, more preferable from 600 to 500,000, still more preferable from 800 to 300,000, and especially from about 1,000 to 10,000. As a rule J ^ ß general, the lower the molecular weight, the higher the degree of substitution (DS) by catidnical groups, usually quaternary, which is desirable, or correspondingly, the lower the degree of substitution, the higher the weight desirable molecular, but There does not seem to be a precise relationship. In general, The cationic polymers should have a charge density of at least about 0.01 meq / gm, preferably from about 0.1 to 8 meq / gm, more preferably from about 0.5 to 7, and even more preferably from about 2 to 6. 20 The appropriate desirable cationic polymers are described in the Ingredients Dictionary "CTFA International Cosmetics, Fourth Edition, JM Nikitakis and coinventores, editors, published by the Cosmetics, Toiletries and Fragrances Association, 19gi, incorporated here as a reference. The list includes the following: Polysaccharide gums, guar gum and bean grasshoppers, which are galactomanam gums available in the trade, and are preferred. Thus Guar gums are marketed under the trade names CSAA M / 200, CSA 200/500 by Meyhal and Stein-Hall, and hydroxyalkylated guar gums are available from the same suppliers. Other polysaccharide gums available in the trade include: Xantan gum, Ghatti gum, tamarind gum, gum arabic, and agar, cationic guar gums and methods for making them are discussed in British Patent 1,136,842 and US Patent 4,031,307. have a 5 SD from 0.1 to about 0.5. J An effective cationic guar gum is the Jaguar C-13S (Trade name Meyhall) Cationic guar gums are a highly preferred group of cationic polymers in the compositions according to with the invention and act as scavengers for residual anionic surfactants and also enhance the softening effect of cationic textile softeners even when used in restrooms containing little or no residual anionic surfactant The other polysaccharide based rubbers can be quaternized similarly and act sustantially in the same way with variations of degrees of effectiveness.

The appropriate starches and derivatives are starches 'natural as those obtained from corn, wheat, barley, etc., and of roots such as potatoes, tapioca, etc., and dextrins, particularly pyrodextrins such as British gum and white dextrin. Some very effective individual cationic polymers are the following: polyvinyl pyridine, weight 0 * ßrmolecular about 40,000, with about 60% of the quaternized pyridine nitrogens available; the copolymer of molar proportions 70/30 of vinyl pyridine / styrene, approximate molecular weight of 43,000, with about 45% of the quaternized pyridine nitrogens 5 available as above; the copolymers of ™ ^ 77/23 and 57/43 molar proportions of vinyl priridine / methyl methylacrylate, molecular weight of about 43,000, with about 97% of the quaternized pyridine nitrogens available as above. 0 Cationic polymers are effective in compositions at very low concentrations per instance of 0.001% by weight to 0.2% especially from 0.02% to 0.1%. In some instances the effectiveness seems to fail. when the content exceeds some optimum level, as for polyvinylpyridine and its styrene copolymer about 0.5%. Some other effective cationic polymers are: '' The vinyl pyridine copolymer and the N-vinyl pyrrolidone (63/37) with about 40% of the quaternized pyridine nitrogens available; the copolymer of vinyl pyridine and acrylonitrile (60/40), quaternized as above; the copolymer of N, N-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate and styrene (55/45) quaternized as previously in about 75% of the available amino nitrogens. The Eudragit E (Trade name of Rohm GmbH) quaternized as previously in about 75% of the available amino nitrogens. It is believed that Eudragit E is a copolymer of N, N-dialkyl amine alkyl methacrylate and a neutral acrylic acid ester, and has molecular weight of around 100,000 to 1,000,000; he ? copolymer of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and N, N-diethyl amino methyl methacrylate (40/50), quaternized in about 50% of available amino nitrogens. These cationic polymers can be prepared in a known manner quaternizing the basic polymers. Still other cationic polymer salts are the quaternized polyethylene imines. These have at least 10 repeated units, some of which are quaternized. Commercial examples of polymers of this class are also sold under the generic trade name 'lcostat by Allied Colloids. Typical examples of polymers are discussed in US Pat. No. 4,179,382, incorporated herein by reference. Each polyamine nitrogen, provided it is primary, secondary or tertiary, is defined below as a member of one of three general classes: simple substituted, quaternized or oxidized. The polymers are made neutral by soluble anions such as chlorine (Cl "), bromine (Br"), iodine (I ") or any other negatively charged radical such as sulfate (S042") and methosulfate (CH3SO3"). Polyamine-specific major materials are described in U.S. Patent 2,182,306, Ulrich Flj 'and co-Inventors, issued December 5, 1939; US 3,033,746, Mayle and co-inventors, issued May 8, 1962; US Patent 2,208,095, to Esselmann and co-inventors, issued July 16, 1940; US Patent 2,806,839, of 20 Crowther, issued September 17, 1957, and the patent US 2,553,696, Wilson, issued May 21, 1951; all incorporated here as reference.

Examples of modified polyamine cationic polymers of the present invention comprising PEI are illustrated in formulas I-II: "Formula I reviews a cationic polymer containing a PEI backbone where all substitutable nitrogens are modified by hydrogen replacement with a polyoxyalkylenoxy unit, - (CH2CH2O) 7H, which has the formula FORMULA I This is an example of a cationic polyamine polymer that is completely modified by a type of portion. Formula II delineates a cationic polyamine polymer comprising a PEI backbone where all substitutable primary amine nitrogens are modified by replacing hydrogen with a unit polyoxyalkyleneoxy, - (CH2CH20) 7H, the molecule is then modified by subsequent oxidation l all oxidizable primary and secondary nitrogens to N-oxides, "said cationic polyamine polymer has the formula: FORMULA II Another polyamine cationic polymer comprises a PEI backbone wherein all of the hydrogen atoms in the backbone are substituted and some amine units in the backbone are quaternized. The substituents are polyoxyalkyleneoxy units - (CH 2 CH 20) 7 H, or methyl groups. Yet another related polyamine cationic polymer comprises a PEI backbone where the nitrogens of the backbone are modified by substitution (ie say by - (CH2CH20) 7H, or methyl), quaternized, oxidized to N-oxides or combinations thereof. Naturally, mixtures of any of the cationic polymers described above can be employees, and the selection of individual polymers or particular mixtures can be used to control the physical properties of the compositions such as their viscosity and the stability of the aqueous dispersions. In order to be more effective, the cationic ifl polymers herein must be, at least at the level discussed herein, in the continuous aqueous phase. To ensure that the polymers are in the continuous aqueous phase, they are preferably added at the end of the process for making the compositions. The active ingredients fabric softeners are normally present in the formula "ß of vesicles After the vesicles have formed, and while the temperature is lower than about 29 ° C, the polymers are added.

(K) OTHER OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS SILICONES The silicone herein can be a polydimethyl siloxane (polydimethyl silicon or PDMS), or a derivative thereof, for example, aminosilicones, ethoxylated silicones, etc. The PDMS, preferably is one with a low molecular weight, for example, one having a viscosity V 'is about 2 to 5000 cSt, preferably about 5 to 500 cSt, more preferable about 25 to 200 cSt. Silicone emulsions can be conveniently used to prepare the compositions of the present invention. However, preferably, the silicone is such that it is, at less initially, not emulsified. That is, the silicon * V must be emulsified in the composition itself. In the process of preparing the compositions, the silicone is preferably added to the "water seat", which comprises the water and, optionally, any other ingredients that normally remain in the aqueous phase. The low molecular weight PDMS is preferred for use in the fabric softening compositions of this invention. The lower the molecular weight of the PDMS, the easier it is to formulate without pre-emulsification.

Silicone derivatives such as aminofunctional silicones, quaternized silicones and silicone derivatives, which contain Si-OH, Si-H, and / or Si-Cl bonds, "ß * can be used, however, these silicone derivatives are usually more substantive for the fabrics and can be intensified on the fabrics after repeated treatments to cause a true reduction in the absorbency of the fabric. When added to the water, the cloth softener composition deposits the biodegradable cationic fabric softening active ingredient on the surface of the fabric to provide softness effects on the fabric. However, in a typical washing procedure, using an automatic washing machine, the absorbency of water of the cotton fabric is appreciably reduced fl, l when there is more than about 40 ppm, especially when there is more than 50 ppm, of the biodegradable cationic fabric softener active ingredient in the rinse water. Silicone improves the water absorbency of the fabric, especially for fabrics treated recently, when used with this level of fabric softener without adversely affecting the fabric's softness performance. The mechanism by which this improvement in water absorbency occurs is not understood, since silicones are inherently hydrophobic It is very surprising that there is an improvement in water absorbency, rather than additional loss of water absorbency. '' The amount of PDMS needed to provide a remarkable improvement in water absorbency depends on the initial performance of soapability, which, on the other hand, depends on the type of detergent used in the wash. The effective amounts reach approximately from 2 ppm to 50 ppm in the rinse water, preferably around 1 to 20 ppm. The ratio of PDMS to softening active ingredient is about 2: 100 to 50: 100, preferably about 3: 100 to 35: 100, more preferably about 4: 100 to 25: 100. As noted above, this typically requires about 0.2% to 20%, preferably about 0.5% to 10%, more preferably about 1% to 5% silicon. The PDMS also improves the ease of ironing as well as improving the soaking characteristics of the fabrics. When the composition for the care of fabrics contains an optional grime remover polymer, the amount of PDMS deposited on the cotton fabric increases and the PDMS improves the removal benefits of grime on the polyester webs. Also, the PDMS improves the rinsing characteristics of the compositions for care of fabrics reducing the tendency of the compositions to foam during rinsing. Surprisingly, there is little, if any, reduction in the smoothing characteristics of the compositions for fabric care as a result of the presence of relatively large amounts of PDMS. The present invention may include other optional components conventionally used in textile treatment compositions, for example, dyes, preservatives, surfactants, anti-shrinking agents, fabric crispers, locating agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants such as proteases, cellulases, amylases, lipases, etc., and the like. The particularly preferred ingredients include water-soluble calcium or magnesium compounds, 'J' that provide additional stability. Chloride salts are preferred, but salts of acetate, nitrate, etc. can be used. The level of said calcium and / or magnesium salts is from 0% to about 2%, preferably around from 0.05% to 0.5%, more preferable from about 0.1% to 0.25%. The present invention may also include other compatible ingredients, including those described in the pending applications with serial numbers: 08 / 372,068, filed on January 12, 1995, by Rusche et al. co-inventors; 08 / 372,490, filed on January 12, 19g5, by Shaw and co-inventors, and 08 / 277,558, filed on July 1, 1994, by Hartman and co-inventors, incorporated into the '' present as a reference. Many synthesis methods can be used to prepare the main solvents of this invention. Appropriate methods are described in the pending application mentioned above, but are not considered to be limiting. All parts, percentages, proportions and reasons herein are by weight unless otherwise specified and all numerical values are approximations based on normal confidence limits. All the documents cited are, in their relevant part, incorporated herein by reference. flj 'The following non-limiting examples show transparent or translucent products with acceptable viscosities. The compositions in the following examples are made by first preparing a seat _ of oil of active ingredient softener at room temperature. The softening active ingredient may be heated, if necessary, to melt if the softening active ingredient is not fluid at room temperature. The ingredient Active softener is mixed using a 1KA RW 25® mixer for about 2 to 5 minutes at about 150 rpm. Separately, an acid / water seat is prepared by mixing the HCl with deionized water (DI) at room temperature. If the active softener and / or main solvent (s) are not fluid at room temperature and need to be heated, the acid / water seat must also be heated to an appropriate temperature, for example, around of 38 ° C and maintaining ío'jdicha temperature with a bain-marie. The main solvent (s) (melted at appropriate temperatures if their melting points are higher than room temperature) are added to the softening premix and said premix is mixed for about 5 minutes. He acid / water seat is then added to the premix Smoothing and mixing for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the composition is clear and homogeneous. The composition is allowed to cool to room temperature.
