Definitions

  • This invention relates to wash cycle unit dose laundry compositions for softening or conditioning fabrics. More particularly, this invention relates to unit dose fabric softening compositions which are compacted granular compositions spherical in shape and suitable for use in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine.
  • Detergent compositions manufactured in the form of tablets of compacted detergent powder are known in the art.
  • U.S . 5 ,225 , 100 for example, describes a tablet of compacted powder comprising an anionic detergent compound which will adequately disperse in the wash water.
  • unit dose softener One possible option for providing a unit dose softener is to introduce the softening ingredients directly into the rinse cycle. But, for this type of product to be effective several practical requirements must be met. To begin with, the size and shape of the unit dose container must be readily compatible with the geometry of a wide variety of rinse cycle dispensers designed for home washing machines in order to insure its easy introduction into the dispenser.
  • the unit dose composition must be formulated to readily dispense its contents upon contact with water in a period of time corresponding to the residence time of the unit dose in the dispenser, namely, the period of time during which water enters and flows through the rinse cycle dispenser.
  • Wash cycle softeners are known in the art which condition fabrics during the period of the wash cycle.
  • Tablet unit doses for detergent compositions are also known.
  • Such tablets are typically flat compacted unit compositions which conceptually offer numerous advantages to the consumer such as: ease of dosing; cleaner wash cycle dispensers resulting from not being dosed with loose powder; less bulk to carry and dispense; ease of handling relative to liquids; and environmental benefits attendant to reduced packaging requirements.
  • Some tablet manufacturers provide a net or sachet designed to contain the tablet unit dose, and thereby avoid the problem of direct contact between the tablet and the seal.
  • Another proposed solution involves providing a rapidly dispersible tablet in the wash water by incorporating an effervescent matrix and/or a disintegration agent into the tablet. But, these proposed options are generally uneconomical and often result in an unduly fragile tablet unable to readily withstand normal handling by the consumer without fracturing.
  • an economical unit dose tablet capable of providing conditioning of fabrics, and which retains its physical integrity during normal handling prior to being introduced into the washing machine.
  • the present invention provides a unit dose ' laundry composition for softening or conditioning fabrics which is suitable as an additive to the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose composition comprising a compacted granular composition comprising a fabric softener or a fabric conditioner, said compacted granular composition being characterized by having a spherical shape and having no discrete outer layer surrounding said fabric softener or conditioner, which outer layer is comprised of an alkaline material such that the pH of the wash water is increased upon the dissolution of said outer layer in said wash water.

  • the clays that are useful components of the invented products are those which cooperate with the organic fatty softener materials to provide enhanced softening of laundry.
  • Such clays include the montmorillonite-containing clays which have swelling properties (in water) and which are of smectite structure, so that they deposit on fibrous materials, especially cotton and cotton/synthetic blends, such as cotton/polyester, to give such fibers and fabrics made from them a surface lubricity or softness.
  • the best of the smectite clays for use in the present invention is bentonite and the best of the bentonites are those which have a substantial swelling capability in water, such as the sodium and potassium bentonites.
  • Such swelling bentonites are also known as western or Wyoming bentonites, which are essentially sodium bentonite.
  • Other bentonites such as calcium bentonite, are normally non-swelling and usually are, in themselves, unacceptable as fabric softening agents.
  • a source of alkali metal or other solubilizing ion such as sodium (which may come from sodium hydroxide, added to the composition, or from sodium salts, such as builders and fillers, which may be functional components of the composition).
  • bentonites are those of sodium and potassium, which are normally swelling, and calcium and magnesium, which are normally non-swelling. Of these it is preferred to utilize calcium (with a source of sodium being present) and sodium bentonites.
  • the bentonites employed may be produced in the United States of America, such as Wyoming bentonite, but also may be obtained from Europe, including Italy and Spain, as calcium bentonite, which may be converted to sodium bentonite by treatment with sodium carbonate, or may be employed as calcium bentonite.
  • other montmorillonite-containing smectite clays of properties like those of the bentonites described may be substituted in whole or in part for the bentonites described herein and similar fabric softening results will be obtained.

  • a main component of the invented compositions and articles of the present invention, and which is used in combination with the fabric softening clay is an organic fatty softener.
  • the organic softener can be anionic or nonionic fatty chains (C ⁇ o-C 2 2 preferably C 12 -C ⁇ 8 ).
  • Anionic softeners include fatty acids soaps.
  • Preferred organic softeners are nonionics such as fatty esters, ethoxylated fatty esters, fatty alcohols and polyols polymers.
  • the organic softener is most preferably a higher fatty acid ester of a pentaerythritol compound, which term is used in this specification to describe higher fatty acid esters of pentaerythritol, higher fatty acid esters of pentaerythritol oligomers, higher fatty acid esters of lower alkylene oxide derivatives of pentaerythritol and higher fatty acid esters of lower alkylene oxide derivatives of pentaerythritol oligomers.

Synthetic acids of odd or even numbers of carbon atoms may also be employed. Of the fatty acids lauric and stearic acids are often preferred, and such preference may depend on the pentaerythritol compound being esterified.
