Abstract
The present invention relates to fabric treatment compositions containing multi-phase systems, polymers for use in multi-phase systems as well as products comprising such systems and methods of making and using same. Such treatment compositions may be used for example as laundry additives, and/or through the rinse to provide benefits including enhanced softening, color benefits, and wrinkle reduction.
Claims15
A fabric treatment composition comprising, based upon total composition weight:
- a) from about 0.05% to about 5% of a dialkyl quaternary ammonium compound;
- b) from about 0.01% to about 1% of a polymeric material comprising one or more polymers said polymeric material having:
- i. comprising a polymer produced by the process of inverse emulsion polymerization or solution polymerization;
- and/or
- ii. a polymer comprising a multi-dentate cross-linking agent;
- and at least one ethylenically unsaturated cationic monomer;
- with the proviso that at least 40% of said polymers' monomeric units are ethylenically unsaturated cationic monomer units and said polymer's overall net charge is cationic;
- c.) from about 0.05% to about 10% of a silicone polymer, said silicone polymer having a structure selected from:
- wherein:
- k is an integer from 2 to about 100;
- m is an integer from 4 to about 5,000;
- each X is a substituted or unsubstituted divalent alkylene radical comprising 3-4 carbon atoms;
- R1, R2 and R3 and R4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, OH and CH3 groups;
- wherein at least one Q in said silicone polymer is independently selected from the group consisting of —CH2—CH(OH)—CH2—R5;
- and each additional Q in said silicone polymer is independently selected from the group comprising of H, C1-C32 alkyl, C1-C32 substituted alkyl, C5-C32 or C6-C32 aryl, C5-C32 or C6-C32 substituted aryl, C6-C32 alkylaryl, C6-C32 substituted alkylaryl;
- —CH2—CH(OH)—CH2—R5;
- and
- w is an integer from 1 to about 10;
- wherein each R5 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C32 alkyl;
- each R6 is independently selected from H, and C1-C18 alkyl;
- and
- d.) from about 1% to about 30% of a fabric softener active, said composition being a fluid.
