AQUEOUS RINSE TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The invention relates to rinse treatment compositions that may be used to reduce residual surfactant from water that has been utilised for washing or rinsing fabrics. It has been found that rinse treatment compositions generally have the following problems: (i) turbid appearance; (ii) comparatively lower stability, especially at elevated temperature; (iii) phase separation, particularly, a floating oily layer; and, (iv) comparatively poor performance to provide an acceptable level of foam reduction. We have determined that some or all of the problems may be overcome or ameliorated by using selected silicones in particular rinse treatment compositions. The invention provides an aqueous rinse treatment composition having pH less than 7, the composition comprising: (i) a cationic compound; (ii) an amino functional polydimethylsiloxane; (iii) a non-ionic surfactant; (iv)an organic acid; and, (v) a rheology modifier.
