FABRIC SOFTENING COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A liquid fabric softening composition contains (i) an aqueous base; (ii) a water-insoluble cationic fabric softener such as a quaternary ammonium salt or an imidazolinium salt; (ii) a nonionic material having an HLB of not more than 10 such as fatty acids, fatty esters of monohydric or polyhydric alcohols and fatty alcohols, the ratio of the cationic to nonionic materials being less than 5:1; and (iv) an electrolyte selected from salts of lithium, calcium, magnesium and aluminium. The specified electrolytes improve the stability of the composition.
