Claims20
An aqueous composition comprising a cationic surfactant system consisting essentially of (i) microfibrous cellulose at a concentration of about 0.06% to about 0.075% (w/w), (ii) at least one cationic surfactant at a concentration between about 40% and about 50% (w/w active surfactant), and (iii) a suspended particulate.
Method of preparing an aqueous composition comprising a cationic surfactant system consisting essentially of:
- combining microfibrous cellulose with water and mixing,
- adding cationic surfactant and then mixing, and
- adding a particulate followed by mixing,
- wherein the resulting cationic surfactant system is clear and the particulates are suspended therein and wherein the microfibrous cellulose is present at a concentration between about 0.05% and about 0.09% (w/w) and the cationic surfactant is present at a concentration between about 40% and about 50% (w/w active surfactant).
An aqueous composition comprising a cationic surfactant system consisting essentially of (i) microfibrous cellulose at a concentration between about 0.05% and about 1.0% (w/w), (ii) at least one cationic surfactant at a concentration between about 40% and about 50% (w/w active surfactant), and (iii) a suspended particulate.
