  • Jumbo particulate fabric softner composition
    Patent number: 5002681
    Abstract: A pouched, detergent-compatible, through-the-wash, dryer-released, jumbo particulate fabric softening composition. The particle size of this particulate is from about 5 mm to about 30 mm, and preferably at least 10 mm. The low viscoisty jumbo particulate fabric softener is made to survive the wash more so than comparable smaller particulates and release more in the dryer than higher viscosity softener. The softener particulate of this invention has a low viscosity at about its melting point for good softener transferability from the pouch to the fabric, superior release in the dryer, and reduced residual pouch staining.
