  • Biodegradable fabric softening compositions based on pentaerythritol esters and free of quaternary ammonium compounds
    Patent number: 5290459
    Abstract: A fabric softening composition or article that is effective for its fabric softening purpose but does not include ecotoxic quaternary ammonium salt, includes, as a fabric softening component, an ester of pentaerythritol, an ester of an oligomer of pentaerythritol, an ester of a lower alkoxylated pentaerythritol or an ester of a lower alkoxylated pentaerythritol oligomer. The fabric softening component is preferably a partial higher fatty acid ester of pentaerythritol or a partial higher fatty acid ester of a pentaerythritol oligomer, the fabric softening composition is an aqueous emulsion or a particulate or powder composition (preferably with the carrier of the powder composition being a fabric softening bentonite) and the fabric softening article is an absorbent material with fabric softening component deposited on it or absorbed by it.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 1992
    Date of Patent: March 1, 1994
    Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive Company

  • Fabric conditioning composition containing alkanol amine ester and acid
    Patent number: 5288847
    Abstract: Environmentally compatible and biodegradable fabric conditioning compositions are provided having improved softening properties while providing significant reduction and solubilization of unwanted mineral encrustations on the fabrics to be softened. The compositions comprise mixtures of defined alkanolamine diesters and triesters in combination with at least one of certain organic acids such as citric acid.

  • Softening compositions and methods for making and using same
    Patent number: 5051196
    Abstract: Stable pourable aqueous fabric softening compositions based on quaternary ammonium softeners and siloxanes are provided. The softening component comprises from about 1-20% by weight of the composition. Methods for making the composition are also described. Softening performance is superior to that obtained by using quaternary ammonium compound softeners, alone or with other components absent the siloxane. The softener compositions are primarily intended for use in the rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine.
