Fabric-softener compositions
Abstract
Abstract A WASHING-CYCLE FABRIC SOFTENER CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A CATIONIC QUATERNARY AMMONIUM FABRIC SOFTENER AND AN AMINO POLYUREYLENE RESIN WHEREIN THE WEIGHT RATIO OF SOFTENER TO RESIN IS FROM ABOUT 0.16:1 TO ABOUT 4:1 FOR DI-HIGHER ALKYL QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SOFTENERS AND 0:5:1 TO 2:1 FOR IMIDAZOLINE SOFTENERS. SUCH COMPOSITIONS EFFECTIVELY SOFTEN TEXTILES IN THE PRESENCE OF ANIONIC DETERGENT COMPOSITONS. ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE INVENTION IS DETERGENT-SOFTENER COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE WASHINGCYCLE SOFTENER COMPOSITION IN COMBINATIN WITH AN ANIONIC DETERGENT AND, OPTIONALLY, A WATER-SOLUBLE BUILDER SALT. ALSO WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE INVENTION IS A METHOD OF SOFTENING TEXTILES.
