  • Super concentrate emulsions with fabric actives
    Patent number: 5750491
    Abstract: The present invention relates to fabric softening compositions of insoluble, degradable cationic fabric softeners at high concentrations. In particular, the present invention addresses the problem of dispersibility which is usually associated with concentrations of biodegradable cationic fabric softeners above 30%. Including a mixture of aromatic acids, especially benzoic acid and salicylic acid, at an amount of at least 10% in total, has proven to eliminate the dispersibility drawbacks and stabilize the high concentration of the fabric softener active.

  • Textile treatment compositions
    Patent number: 4162984
    Abstract: A textile treatment composition in emulsion form which is based on a mixture of cationic and nonionic softener includes an aromatic mono- or di-carboxylic acid as a viscosity modifier. The presence of a carboxylic acid such as benzoic acid or salicylic acid in emulsified mixtures of a di-higher alkyl quaternary ammonium salt and a nonionic material having at least one higher alkyl chain gives a significant increase in viscosity.
