Abstract
The present disclosure relates to fabric care agents and fabric softener formulations with clear, transparent optical qualities and a viscous consistency, comprising a combination of specific esterquats with at least one non-ionic or cationic thickener and at least one aminosiloxane, and to the use of these fabric care compositions and fabric softener formulations. The present disclosure further relates to the use of a combination of specific esterquats with at least one non-ionic or cationic thickener and at least one aminosiloxane for preparing said fabric care agents and fabric softener formulations.
Claims17
A liquid, clear, homogeneous fabric treatment agent comprising:
- a. at least one cationic compound obtained by reacting
- i. a mixture of at least one dicarboxylic acid of formula (I)
- wherein X stands for a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon residue having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and
- at least one monocarboxylic acid of formula (II)
- wherein R1 stands for a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon residue having 5 to 21 carbon atoms, and
- ii. at least one tertiary amine of formula (III)
- wherein R2, R3, and R4—independently of one another—stand for a C2 to C6 hydroxyalkyl group, and;
- iii. at least one quaternizing agent for quaternizing at least one amino group included in the obtained reaction product, and
- b. at least one non-ionic or cationic thickener, and
- c. amodimethicone/morpholinomethyl silsesquioxane copolymer.
A method comprising
- treating fabric with a liquid, clear, homogeneous, and fabric-softening fabric treatment agent, wherein the agent comprises:
- a. at least one cationic compound (EQ) obtained by reacting
- i. a mixture of at least one dicarboxylic acid of formula (I)
- wherein X stands for a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon residue having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and
- at least one monocarboxylic acid of formula (II)
- wherein R1 stands for a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon residue having 5 to 21 carbon atoms, and
- ii. at least one tertiary amine of formula (III)
- wherein R2, R3, and R4—independently of one another—stand for a C2 to C6 hydroxyalkyl group, in particular, 2-hydroxyethyl, and;
- iii. at least one quaternizing agent for quaternizing at least one amino group included in the obtained reaction product, and
- b. at least one non-ionic or cationic thickener, and
- c. amodimethicone/morpholinomethyl silsesquioxane copolymer.
