DRYER-ACTIVATED FABRIC CONDITIONING ARTICLES WITH IMPROVED SUBSTRATE

摘要

Dryer-activated fabric softening articles having improved spun-bonded polyester substrates having improved feel characteristics and increased thickness as compa red to conventional polyester substrates and/or feel characteristics that are not signi ficantly different from conventional rayon substrates, after use in an automatic clothes dryer, said articles comprising: at least about 5% fabric conditioning composition comprisin g fabric conditioning active; and a polyester non-woven fabric substrate prepared from a polyester fiber having a denier of from greater than 4 to about 8; having a basi s weight of from about 0.51oz/yd2 to about 0.56 oz/yd2; a thickness of from about 0.16 mm to about 0.22 mm; belt fuzz of from about 1.8 to about 4.2; jet fuzz of from about 3.0 to about 5.0; a modulus of elasticity in machine direction and cross direction, of from about 1.5 to 4.2 pli; and, preferably, a tear strength of at least about 3 pli in both the cross direction and the machine direction; said polyester having improved feel characteristics as co mpared to conventional substrates of this type.
