DRYER-ACTIVATED FABRIC CONDITIONING ARTICLES WITH SOFT POLYESTER SUBSTRATE

摘要

Dryer-activated fabric softening articles having improved spun-bonded polyester substrates having improved feel characteristics as compared to conventional polyester substrates and/or feel characteristics that are not significantly different from conventional rayon substrates, after use in an automatic clothes dryer, said articles comprising: (A) at least about 5 % fabric conditioning composition comprising fabric conditioning active; and (B) a polyester non-woven fabric substrate prepared from a polyester fiber having a denier of from about 2 to about 6, said substrate having a basis weight of from about 0.52 oz/yd<2> to about 0.58 oz/yd<2>, a thickness of from about 0.16 mm to about 0.22 mm, and, preferably, a tear strength of at least about 3 lbs/in<2> in both the cross direction and the machine direction, preferably from about 4 to about 7 lbs/in<2> in the cross direction and from about 3.1 to about 6 lbs/in<2> in the machine direction, said polyester having at least improved feel characteristics as compared to conventional substrates of this type, after said article is used in said automatic clothes dryer and after said fabric conditioning composition has been substantially completely removed from said substrate.
