  • Patent number: 6881716
    Abstract: The application relates to a low viscosity and to a stable fabric softening composition process for the preparation of a stable, and particularly to a viscosity stable, fabric softening composition having a low viscosity, said composition comprising from about 1 to 18 wt. % of an oligomeric esteramine or oligomeric esterquat, obtainable by reaction of an alkanol amine with a polycarboxylic acid and with a fatty alcohol and optionally a fatty acid, optionally followed by quaternization. The process comprises melting said oligomeric esteramine or oligomeric esterquat, dispersing said melted material in hot water, and subsequently cooling. In a second aspect, the application relates to a process wherein a thickening agent or mixture of thickening agents is added to the hot water containing the melted material or after the hot water has cooled. This thickening agent is selected from the group consisting of modified cellulosic polymer, non-ionic viscosity modifier, associative thickener and polyacrylate.

  • Patent number: 6864223
    Abstract: The present invention relates to thickened fabric conditioners, which fabric conditioners contain a particular polymeric thickener, which is obtained by polymerizing from 5 to 100 mole percent of a cationic vinyl addition monomer, from 0 to 95 mole percent of acrylamide, and from 70 to 300 ppm of a difunctional vinyl addition monomer cross-linking agent. As compared to such compositions comprising a similar product but obtained from a polymerization reaction using between 5 and 45 ppm cross-linking agent considerable advantages are obtained. Especially, the delivery of fragrance present in the softening composition is more efficiently carried over to the fabrics to be treated.
