Abstract
The present patent relates to a solid softener composition suitable for treatment of fabrics and garments, composed by: a) a cationic compound with softener properties; b) an organic/inorganic carrier system; c) a solubilizer system; and d) optionally a fatty system. Methods for production and application of the softener composition are also disclosed.
Claims26
A solid softener composition comprising:
- a) A cationic compound of the formula:
- wherein:
- A is a group of the formulas —(CH2)n-Q-T1 or
- Q is selected from —O—C(O)—, —C(O)—O—, —O—C(O)—O—, —NR5—C(O)—, —C(O)—NR5—;
- R1 is (CH2)n-Q-T2 or T3 or R3;
- R2 is (CH2)m-Q-T4 or T5 or R3;
- R3is H, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl or C1-C6 hydroxyalkyl;
- R4 is T1, T2, T3, T4 or T5;
- R5is H, C1-C6-alkyl, C2-C6-alkenyl or C1-C6-hydroxyalkyl;
- T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 are independently C8-C22-alkyl or C8-C22-alkenyl;
- n and m are integers from 1 to 6;
- and
- X− is a softeners-compatible anion selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, sulfate, methosulfate, hydrogensulfate, carbonate, hydrogencarbonate, phosphate, mono- and di-hydrogenphosphate, pyrophosphate, metaphosphate, nitrate, phosphonate, methylphosphonate, methandisulfonate, methylsulfonate, ethansulfonate, and mixtures thereof,
- b) A carrier system selected from the group consisting of one or more organic solid material, at least one inorganic solid, and mixtures thereof,
- c) A solubilizer system selected from the group consisting of one or more solvents, at least one nonionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof,
- d) Optionally a fatty system selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty esters, and mixtures thereof.
