Abstract
Provided herein are solid textile treating compositions; compositions containing colorants stabilized with one or more colorant stabilizers; compositions containing colorants that do not need to be stabilized by one or more colorant stabilizers; solid wash cycle conditioning agents; liquid textile treating compositions; cleaning agent compositions containing these; methods of making these; methods of treating textiles with these; textiles treated by these; containers containing the compositions; and methods of visually designating when a composition has reached or passed its pull date.
Claims25
A solid wash cycle conditioning agent, comprising a composition of:
- (a) a non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) an EO/PO/EO block copolymer, a PO/EO/PO block copolymer, a EO/PO block copolymer, a PO/EO block copolymer, or a combination thereof;
- (ii) a sorbitan ester;
- and
- (iii) a combination thereof;
- and
- (b) a fabric conditioning agent;
- wherein the composition forms a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture and the mixture is solid at 25° C. and is soluble in water;
- wherein the non-ionic surfactant is present in an amount from 60% to 90% by weight based on the weight of the solid wash cycle conditioning agent.
A solid wash cycle conditioning agent comprising a composition of:
- (a) a non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) an EO/PO/EO block copolymer, a PO/EO/PO block copolymer, a EO/PO block copolymer, a PO/EO block copolymer, or a combination thereof
- (ii) a sorbitan ester;
- and
- (iii) a combination thereof
- (b) a fabric conditioning agent;
- and
- (c) a plasticizer being a combination of PEG 100-stearate and glyceryl monostearate;
- wherein the composition forms a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture and the mixture is solid at 25° C. and is soluble in water.
A solid wash cycle conditioning agent comprising a composition of:
- (a) 60% to 80% by weight of the a non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of (i) a EO/PO/EO block copolymer, a PO/EO/PO block copolymer, a EO/PO block copolymer, a PO/EO block copolymer, or a combination thereof;
- (ii) a sorbitan ester;
- and (iii) a combination thereof;
- (b) 10% to 25% by weight of the a fabric conditioning agent;
- and
- (c) 8% to 15% by weight of the a plasticizer,
- wherein the % by weight is based on the weight of the solid wash cycle conditioning agent;
- wherein the composition forms a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture and the mixture is solid at 25° C. and is soluble in water.
