Abstract
A fabric conditioning composition comprises from 7.5 to 80% by weight of a ester-linked quaternary ammonium fabric softening material comprising at lease one mono-ester linked component and at least one tri-ester linked component, from 0.01 to 10% by weight of a nonionic surfactant and greater than 1.5 to 15% by weight of a fatty complexing agent wherein the weight ratio of the mono-ester component of compound (a) to fatty completing agent (c) is from 5:1 to 1:5. The compositions have good viscosity profiles.
Claims7
A fabric conditioning composition comprising:
- (a) from 7.5 to 80% by weight of a ester-linked quaternary ammonium fabric softening material comprising at least one mono-ester linked component and at least one tri-ester linked component;
- (b) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of a nonionic surfactant;
- and
- (c) greater than 1.5 to 15% by weight of a fatty complexing agent;
- wherein the weight ratio of the mono-ester component of compound (a) to fatty complexing agent (c) is from 5:1 to 1:5.
Use of from more than 1.5 up to 15% by weight of a long chain organic compound in a concentrated fabric conditioning composition comprising an ester-linked quaternary ammonium fabric softening material comprising at least one mono-ester component and at least one tri-ester component to improve storage stability of the composition.
