Fabric conditioning compositions

摘要

A fabric softening composition comprising from 1 to 80% by weight of ester-linked quaternary ammonium fabric softening material comprising a quaternised mixture of mono- di- and tri-ester of alkanolamine in which the tri-ester content of said mixture is from 25 to 50% by weight of said mixture, wherein: (i) when the tri-ester content is from 25 to 30% by weight of said mixture the free amine content of the composition is less than 0.5% by weight on the weight of said mixture, (ii) when the tri-ester content is more than 30% by weight of said mixture the free amine content of the composition is less than 6% by weight based on the weight of said mixture, the composition containing less than 1% by weight of free fatty acid based on said mixture.
