Abstract:
Dryer-added fabric conditioning articles that comprise friable perfume microcapsules provide consumers an impactful freshness experience while wearing clothing that is treated by the article. Manufacturing processes of incorporating friable perfume microcapsules into dryer-added articles that maximizes the yield of unruptured microcapsules are provided.
Abstract:
Optimizing water conductivity, water temperature, and fabric softener active percentage when making a concentrated fabric softener active hydrate yields fabric softener products of desired rheology and stability.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to fabric care compositions that comprise thickeners and the use of fabric care composition in high anionic surfactant conditions.
Abstract:
Dryer-added fabric conditioning articles that comprise friable microcapsules, wherein the microcapsules comprise a blooming perfume composition, provide consumers an impactful freshness experience while wearing clothing that is treated by the article. The microcapsules that are deposited on treated clothing rupture upon the mechanical stresses imposed upon the microcapsules through daily activities of wearing clothing such as putting on socks or putting on a coat. Furthermore, perfume microcapsules also allows the consumer to have a delightful scent experience on fabrics which have been stored even for long durations of time due to their ability to protect perfume from volatilization to the surrounding air space.
Abstract:
A dilute liquid fabric care compositions comprising: (a) a fabric softener active, comprising an ester quaternary ammonium compound suitable for softening fabric; the ester quaternary ammonium compound forms particles in said composition; (b) a thickener comprising a polymerization product of : (i) 5 to 80 weight percent of the thickener of an alkyl ester of acrylic acid or an alkyl ester of methacrylic acid, (ii) 5 to 80 weight percent of the thickener of a monomer chosen from : a vinyl-substituted heterocyclic compound; (meth) acrylamide; a mono- or di-alkylamino alkyl (meth) acrylate; or a mono or di-alkylamino alkyl (meth) acrylamide; (iii) 0.01 to 30 weight percent of the thickener of an associative monomer; (iv) 0 to 1 weight percent of the thickener of a cross-linking monomer having at least two ethylenically unsaturated moieties: (c) water and (d) a viscosity of from about 10 cPs to about 1000 cPs.
