Abstract
The present invention relates to an auxiliary composition in particulate form for the laundering or treatment of fabrics, the auxiliary composition comprises a co-particulate admix of: (i) clay; and (ii) silicone; and (iii) optionally, a charged polymeric fabric-softening boosting component; and (iv) optionally one or more adjunct components; wherein the auxiliary composition has a Flowability Index (FI) of from 0.5 to 21, wherein FI=P×R, wherein P=the weight average primary particle size of the clay expressed in micrometers, and R=the weight ratio of silicone to clay.
Claims22
An auxiliary composition in particulate form for the laundering or treatment of fabrics, the auxiliary composition comprising:
- a co-particulate admix of:
- (i) clay;
- (ii) polydimethylsiloxane;
- (iii) optionally, a charged polymeric fabric-softening boosting component;
- and
- (iv) one or more adjunct components comprising an emulsifier;
- wherein the auxiliary composition has a Flowability Index (FI) of from about 0.5 to about 21, wherein
- FI=P×R
- wherein, P=the weight average primary particle size of the clay expressed in micrometers of greater than 20 micrometers, and R=the weight ratio of polydimethylsiloxane to clay of from 0.05 to 0.3.
The auxiliary composition in particulate form for the laundering or treatment of fabrics, the auxiliary composition consisting essentially of a co-particulate admix of:
- (i) a clay;
- (ii) a silicone comprising a polydimethylsiloxane;
- (iii) an emulsifier comprising water and a detersive surfactant;
- wherein the auxiliary composition has a Flowability Index (FI) of from about 0.5 to about 21, wherein
- FI=P×R
- wherein, P=the weight average primary particle size of the clay expressed in micrometers of greater than 20 micrometers, and R=the weight ratio of silicone to clay of from 0.05 to 0.3.
