Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to fabric softener compositions and processes for treating fabric using the same. The fabric softener compositions described herein include a smectite clay; a non-polymeric amine component selected from the group consisting of primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary amines; a water-soluble metal halide or sulfate; and optionally, an oil selected from the group consisting of a mineral oil and a vegetable oil.
Claims22
A fabric softener composition comprising:
- A) a smectite clay;
- B) a non-polymeric amine component according to the formula (I)
- in which R1 is an aliphatic branched or straight-chain hydrocarbyl group having a weight-average number of carbons in the range of 8-16 and the of sum x1 and x2 has a weight-average value in the range of 1.8-10;
- C) a water-soluble metal halide or sulfate;
- and
- D) optionally, an oil selected from the group consisting of a mineral oil and a vegetable oil.
