Definitions
- the present invention relates to the selection of certain water soluble dyes to be incorporated into liquid fabric softener compositions to reduce staining of fabrics.
- Fabric softening compositions have long been known in the art and are widely utilized by consumers during the rinse cycles of automatic laundry operations.
- fabric softening refers to a process whereby a desirably soft hand and fluffy appearance are imparted to fabrics.
- Dyes are often used in consumer products to provide pleasing aesthetics.
- fabric care products one wants to be able to provide the desired color aesthetics with as little dye as possible to minimize chances for staining clothes.
- WO 94/10285 fabric softening compositions comprising a dye system with water soluble Liquitint R dyes.
- Liquitint R dyes available from Milliken Chemical Co., also reduce staining as disclosed in said WO 94/10285, however a disadvantage of Liquitint R dyes is its color strength. It appears that the color strength of Liquitint R is very low and thus in order to obtain a satisfactory level of colorant in a finished fabric softener product, one need to add high amounts of said Liquitint R dye.
- Said water soluble dyes when applied in fabric softening compositions also give less hueing than with conventional dyes.
- Vitasyn R dyes are known as colorants in food, however nowhere is disclosed that Vitasyn R dyes can be used in liquid fabric softener compositions leading to a reduced staining potential. In addition, it appears that the presence of Vitasyn R dyes in the fabric softener compositions surprisingly also leads to less hueing on fabrics.
- the present invention relates to fabric softener compositions especially liquid fabric softener compositions, comprising a water soluble dye system.
- This dye system comprises dyes selected from the group consisting of :
- compositions Most preferred in a composition are the combinations of Vitasyn R dyes Patent Blue V85 and Ponceau or Patent Blue AE85 and Ponceau.
- Said dyes are to be mixed at a certain level and ratio viz. the dyes are present from O.lppm to 1000 ppm, preferably from lppm to lOOppm while the ratio of the present dyes ranges from 19:1 to 1:19.
- the present invention is concerned with fabric softener compositions comprising
- the dye system consists of a) 4 parts Patent Blue V85/V50 with color index no. 42051 and 1 part Ponceau 4RC82 with color index no. 16255 or b) 4 parts Blue AE85 with color index no. 42090 and 1 part Ponceau 4RC82 with color index no. 16255.
- Patent Blue V85/V50 with color index no. 42051 and 3 parts Tartrazine XX90 with color index no. 19140 or b)2 parts Patent Blue V85/V50 with color index no. 42051 and 3 parts Quinoline Yellow 70 with color index no.
- the dyes according to the invention can also be mixed with other commercially available conventional dyes which are for instance Acid Red 52 with color index no. 45100, Acid Yellow 3 with color index no. 47005, Acid Blue 127 with color index no. 61135, Acid Blue 5 with color index no. 42051, Acid Blue 80 with color index no. 61585 and mixtures thereof.
- the pH of the composition is less than about 6, preferably less than about 4 and more preferably from 1.8 to 3.5.
- 2 parts Patent Blue V85/V50 can be mixed with 3 parts Acid Red 52 or 2 parts Blue AE85 can be mixed with 3 parts Acid Red 52.
- the Vitasyn R dyes are highly water-soluble. So a high color intensity is possible because of the high color strength of the Vitasyn R dyes itself. Consequently only small amounts of the respective Vitasyn R dye is needed to obtain the desired color in the finished fabric softening product.
- the dyes are water soluble and non-reactive and are therefore compatible with fragrances and preservatives and tend not to complex with other usual ingredients of the composition.
- the dyes are stable in a wide pH range, especially at a lower pH in the range of 1.8 to 3.5 which is important in especially biodegradable softener compositions.
- the dyes can be added to the composition at any point during the processing including into the water seat, after the addition of electrolyte (hot) or post-addition to the cooled product or mixed with any other raw material prior to the addition into the final mix.
- Fabric conditioning compositions in particular fabric softening compositions to be used in the rinse cycle of laundry washing processes, are well known.
- the fabric softening materials may be selected from cationic, nonionic, amphoteric or anionic fabric softening material.
- compositions of the present invention preferably comprise from 1 to 80% by weight of fabric softening active, more preferably from 2 to 70% by weight, most preferably from 5 to 50% by weight of the composition.

- the alkyl, or alkenyl, chain T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , T 4 , T 5 must contain at least 11 carbon atoms, preferably at least 16 carbon atoms.
- the chain may be straight or branched.
- Tallow is a convenient and inexpensive source of long chain alkyl and alkenyl material.
- the compounds wherein T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , T 4 , T 5 represents the mixture of long chain materials typical for tallow are particularly preferred.
- quaternary ammonium compounds suitable for use in the aqueous fabric softening compositions herein include :
- compounds 1-7 are examples of compounds of Formula (I); compound 8 is a compound of Formula (II) .
- N,N-di (tallowoyl-oxy-ethyl) - N,N-dimethyl ammonium chloride where the tallow chains are at least partially unsaturated.
- the level of unsaturation of the tallow chain can be measured by the Iodine Value (IV) of the corresponding fatty acid, which in the present case should preferably be in the range of from 5 to 100 with two categories of compounds being distinguished, having a IV below or . above 25.
- IV Iodine Value
