Abstract
Optimizing water conductivity, water temperature, and fabric softener active percentage when making a concentrated fabric softener active hydrate yields fabric softener products of desired rheology and stability.
Claims10
A method of making a concentrated fabric softener active (CFSA) hydrate comprising the steps:
- (a) providing a fabric softener active concentrate comprising a fabric softener active;
- (b) providing heated water wherein the water has a conductivity between 0 and 300 microsiemens;
- and
- (c) combining the fabric softener concentrate and the water to make the fabric softener hydrate, wherein the resultant CFSA hydrate is:
- substantially free of non-melted or non-hydrated softener active;
- comprises a temperature from 55° C. to 80° C.;
- and has 14% to 28% of the fabric softener active by weight of the CFSA hydrate.
