Dryer-added fabric treatment article of manufacture containing antioxidant and sunscreen compounds for sun fade protection of fabrics

An article of manufacture comprising:

• I. a composition comprising:
• A. from about 5% to about 75% by weight of the composition, of a non-fabric staining, light stable antioxidant compound selected from the group consisting of:
• ##STR16## wherein each R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are the same or different moiety selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkoxy groups, branched or straight chained C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl groups, and mixtures thereof;
• each R.sup.2 is a hydroxy group;
• each R.sup.4 is a saturated or unsaturated C.sub.1 to C.sub.22 alkyl group or hydrogen;
• each R.sup.5 is a saturated or unsaturated C.sub.1 to C.sub.22 alkyl group which can contain ethoxylated or propoxylated groups;
• each R.sup.6 is a branched or straight chained, saturated or unsaturated, C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl group;
• each T is ##STR17## each W is ##STR18## wherein Y is a hydrogen or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.5 alkyl group;
• wherein Z is hydrogen, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl group (which may be interrupted by an
• ester, amide, or ether group), a C.sub.1 to C.sub.30 alkoxy group (which may be interrupted by an ester, amide, or ether group);
• each m is from 0 to 4;
• each n is from 1 to 50;
• each q is from 1 to 10;
• and
• wherein the antioxidant compound also comprises quaternary ammonium compounds of Formulas I, III, IV, and V;
• B. from about 10% to about 95% by weight of the composition of a highly ethoxylated sugar derivative containing from about 5 to about 40 ethylene oxide groups per molecule, wherein said sugar moiety is sorbitan and wherein there are from about 1 to about 3 hydrophobic moieties which are part of a fatty acyl group containing from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms attached to said sugar moiety by ester linkages;
• and wherein the composition optionally includes a non-fabric staining, light stable sunscreen compound;
• and
• II. a substrate, on which said composition is attached, which provides for release of an effective amount of said composition onto fabrics in an automatic laundry dryer at automatic laundry dryer operating temperatures;
• wherein said antioxidant compound is a solid having a melting point of less than about 80.degree. C., or a liquid at a temperature of less than about 40.degree. C.;
• and wherein said optional sunscreen compound absorbs light at a wavelength of from about 290 nm to about 450 nm and is a solid compound having a melting point of from about 25.degree. C. to about 90.degree. C., or a viscous liquid at a temperature of 0.degree. C. to about 25.degree. C.
