摘要:
A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition formed from granules of softener, which granules are formed from a powder of said clay component wherein the amount of moisture in said clay component is from about 3% to about 10%, by weight, and wherein the total amount of moisture in the compacted fabric softener composition is from about 3% to about 25% by weight.

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition in an amount sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine, and wherein said fabric softener composition comprises (A) a treated montmorillonite-containing clay selected to have initial properties as follows: (i) a montmorillonite content of at least 85%; and (ii) when said clay is activated with sodium ions, dried and ground to particles, said ground particles do not swell more than about 2.5 fold over a period of 24 hours when added to deionized water at room temperature; and wherein said montmorillonite-containing clay is treated by the process comprising the following sequential steps: (a) drying said clay to a moisture content of from about 25 to about 35%, by weight; (b) extruding the dried material through a die to form a paste; (c) drying said paste to a moisture content of from about 10% to about 14% by weight; and (d) calcining at a temperature of about 120° C. to about 250° C.; and (B) at least one disintegration agent to enhance the dispersibility of said compacted granular composition in water selected from the group consisting of swelling polymers; cellulose; and electrolytes.

摘要:
The stability and softening performance of amidoamine fabric softeners, such as bis(hydrogenated tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine) is improved by protonating the amine with a neutralizing inorganic or organic acid and incorporating certain stabilizing emulsifiers, such as, N,N',N'-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-tallow-1,3-diaminopropane, dimethylhydrogenated tallow amine, methyl dihydrogenated tallow amine, and oleic imidazoline). Mixtures of bis(hydrogenated tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine and bis(tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine also provide improved softening and form stable aqueous dispersions. The compositions may be highly concentrated for use at low levels or for further dilution prior to use.
摘要:
Agglomerated particles of finely divided fabric softening bentonite and sodium sulfate particles have been found to possess improved fabric softening properties, compared to agglomerated bentonite, especially when employed in the hand washing of laundry which is subsequently line dried. Such agglomerates are also of excellent particle strength and are readily dispersible in water. The described product may be made by agglomerating finely divided bentonite and sodium sulfate powders with the aid of excess moisture, after which the agglomerated particles resulting are dried and those of desired size, preferably in the No's. 30 to 100 sieve size range (U.S.), are obtained. The fabric softening agglomerate made may be mixed with spray dried synthetic organic anionic detergent composition beads of about the same or lower bulk density, preferably in the 0.3 to 0.5 g./cc. range, with about 5 to 30% of the agglomerate particles being present, to make a non-segregating fabric softening particulate detergent composition of improved softening properties. Detergency, soil anti-redeposition properties, bead physical characteristics and processing are improved by the presence in the detergent composition of a minor proportion of a water soluble copolymer of maleic and acrylic acids which, unlike other polymers which can impart such properties to detergent compositions, does not adversely affect the softening of hand washed laundry by the present agglomerate. Soda ash may be used in place of some or all of the sodium sulfate of the agglomerate and a good softening additive will also be obtained.
