Abstract
Liquid formulations for use in treating fabrics deposit a material providing a perceivable effect. The effect producing material is a component, in admixture with an organic matrix material and a cationic material, of a dispersed phase in an aqueous medium. The cationic material causes deposition of the dispersed phase onto a fabric allowing the effect producing material to act on the fabric surface. Optionally a fabric conditioning material is present in the aqueous phase.
Claims21
An improved liquid composition for use in treating fabrics to impart a sensorially perceivable effect thereto by the deposition of a sensorially perceivable effect producing material thereon and of the type comprising a sensorially perceivable effect producing material in water, the improvement comprising:
- said effect producing material being present in said composition as a component of a first dispersed phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, wherein:
- (a) said first phase is present in said composition at a level of about 0.5 to about 50 percent of said composition;
- (b) said first phase is a particulate phase comprising:
- (i) about 25 to about 90 percent by weight of said phase of a substantially water insoluble organic matrix material;
- (ii) about 0.5 to about 50 percent by weight of said phase of a cationic material;
- and
- (iii) about 0.5 to about 50 percent by weight of said phase of a sensorially perceivable effect producing material;
- and
- (c) said aqueous phase is present in said composition at a level of about 50 to about 99.5 percent by weight of said composition.
