Definitions

  • the disclosed technology relates to esterquat free liquid fabric softener compositions having good stability, dispersibility and conditioning properties.
  • the disclosed technology relates to a fatty acid soap dispersed in aqueous media in which the soap dispersion is stabilized with a cationic polymer.
  • the stabilized soap dispersions of the disclosed technology are capable of imparting softness to fabrics treated with such dispersions, particularly in the rinse cycle of a laundering procedure.
  • esterquats Quaternary ammonium salts of alkanolamines esterified with an average of two fatty acid aliphatic moieties per molecule are commonly referred to as esterquats.
  • Esterquats e.g., tallowquats
  • esterquat fabric softeners are replacing the more environmentally challenging dialkyldimethyl ammonium salt fabric softeners owing to the inclusion of ester linkages into the aliphatic moieties which significantly enhances biodegradation and lowers environmental exposure levels.
  • the formulation of esterquat fabric softeners in aqueous based liquid formulations have been challenging because the ester linkages contained in the compound are susceptible to hydrolysis leading to shelf-life instability.
  • Most fabric softening quats are water dispersible and are not water soluble to ensure a better deposition efficiency of the softening ingredient.
  • the fatty acid/soap used in the composition of the present technology have limited solubility in water.
  • the solubility of saturated fatty acid soaps in water is highly limited in comparison to detersive surfactants. Due to the formation of a liquid crystal phase, a soap solution can solidify even at a low soap concentration. For instance, a 0.5% stearate soap in water can form a solid. In contrast, the water solubility of an unsaturated soap is much higher.
  • the water solubility of an unsaturated fatty acid can be tailored by the degree of neutralization.
  • Unsaturated fatty acids neutralized to a lesser degree than a fully neutralized unsaturated fatty acid will be less soluble in aqueous media. Accordingly, to ensure a better deposition efficiency of an unsaturated fatty acid soap to a fabric surface, it is sometimes preferred not to fully neutralize the fatty acid.
  • the combination of free unsaturated fatty acid and neutralized unsaturated fatty acid soap provides the same water dispersibility profile mimicking the deposition efficiencies of traditional quats that are commonly employed in fabric softening products.
  • the combination of free fatty acid to neutralized fatty acid soap in the liquid fabric softening compositions of the present technology is not isotropic and light transmittance is limited (could be less than 50% for a 1 cm cuvette at 520 nm wave length).
  • Another method to reduce the water solubility of a soap is by salting out the soap by the means of reducing the degree of hydration of the head groups and/or forming coacervates with a cationic polymer.
  • a transparent liquid soap system is indicative that the soap is fully solubilized in water.
  • an opaque system is indicative that the soap molecules are not fully dissolved in water but are dispersed in water.
