Abstract
The present invention is directed to a composition for improving substrate characteristics. The composition has a substrate enhancing agent, like a monohydric alcohol, and the composition reduces wrinkles in substrates that have not been subjected to ironing.
Claims8
A sprayable composition for improving substrate characteristics, comprising:
- (a) at least 3% of a C7 or greater monohydric alcohol;
- (b) at least one compound selected from a dialkyl or trialkyl quaternary methyl ammonium compound, a fatty acid or the salt of a fatty acid or fatty acid ester, a substituted vegetable oil compound or blends thereof;
- (c) wherein the alkyl group of the dialkyl or trialkyl quaternary methyl ammonium compound is C12 to C22 and is in a concentration range of about 0.1-5% by wt.;
- the fatty acid or fatty acid ester has a carbon chain length of C12 or higher and is present in the concentration range of about 0.1-10% by wt.;
- and the substituted vegetable oil compound contains a group that increases water solubility of the oil to the concentration range of about 0.1-15% by wt.;
- (d) at least one surfactant selected from nonionic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants, wherein the total concentration of surfactants is in the range of about 0.5 to 10% by wt.;
- and
- (e) water in the concentration range of about 70 to 99.9% by wt.
