DRYER-ACTIVATED FABRIC CONDITIONING COMPOSITIONS WITH IMPROVED STABILITY CONTAINING SUGAR DERIVATIVES

摘要

Dryer-activated fabric softening compositions and articles having improved stability, for use in an automatic clothes dryer consisting essentially of: (A) from about 30 % to about 75 % of a diester quaternary ammonium (DEQA) compound having the formula: [CH2CH2OH] [CH3]+N[CH2CH2OC(O)R]2X<->, wherein R is a long chain, saturated and/or unsaturated, C8-C30 hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl substituent and mixtures thereof, and the counterion, X<->, can be any softener-compatible anion; and, (B) nonionic softener at a level of from about 15 % to about 50 %, where the nonionic softener is fatty acid partial ester of sorbitan; and wherein the ratio of component (A) to component (B) is from about 3:1 to about 1:1.
