Dryer sheet fabric conditioner containing compatible silicones

An article for conditioning fabrics which provides for release of a fabric conditioning composition within an automatic laundry dryer at dryer operating temperatures comprising a flexible substrate and a fabric conditioning composition, carried on said substrate, the weight ratio of total conditioning composition to the substrate being from about 10:1 to 0.5:1, said composition comprising:

• a) a fabric softening component selected from:
• i) cationic quaternary ammonium salts;
• ii) nonionic fabric softeners selected from the group consisting of tertiary amines having at least one C.sub.8-30 alkyl chain, esters of polyhydric alcohols, fatty alcohols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, alkylphenols, ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated monoglycerides, ethoxylated diglycerides, ethoxylated fatty amines, mineral oils, polyols, and mixtures thereof;
• iii) carboxylic acids having at least 8 carbon atoms;
• and
• iv) mixtures thereof;
• and
• b) an organosilicone having a % CH.sub.2 content of about 25% to about 90% and having at least one unit of Formula A:
• ##STR13## wherein m is a number from 0 to 2, R is a mono valent hydrocarbon radical and R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of:
• i) a unit of Formula A1 ##STR14## wherein a is a number of at least 1, b is a number from 0 to 10, ##STR15## a hydrocarbon radical having from 4 to 40 carbon atoms and R.sup.4 is hydrogen or hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 40 carbon atoms;
• and
• ii) a unit of Formula A2 ##STR16## wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently selected from hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 45 carbon atoms and at least one of R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 is a hydrocarbon radical having from 6 to 45 carbon atoms, R.sup.7 is ##STR17## where R.sup.8 is a divalent organic radical having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, wherein said fabric softening component and said organosilicone form a compatible mixture as determined by Silicone/Softener Compatibility Test and wherein the weight ratio of the organosilicone to the fabric softening component is from about 100:2 to about 1:100.
