International Classification:

D06L001/00

US Classification:

510515000

Abstract:

Liquid fabric softening compositions comprise a flame retardant. The liquid fabric softening compositions preferably further comprise a fabric softening active. In another embodiment of the invention, the present compositions comprise a flame retardant, wherein the flame retardant is a phosphorus-containing fabric softener. In another embodiment of the invention, the present compositions comprise no greater than about 21%, by weight of the composition, of a fabric softener active and at least about 0.5%, by weight of the composition, of a silicone material. The present compositions can be used to treat all types of fabrics to provide improved fabric softening and freshness, while minimizing the risk of flammability associated with cotton-containing fluffier fabrics, such as fleece and terry cloth, when treated with liquid fabric softening compositions.

The biodegradable fabric softening active preferably has the formula: wherein each R substituent is hydrogen or a short chain C-C, preferably C-Calkyl or hydroxyalkyl group, e.g., methyl (most preferred), ethyl, propyl, hydroxyethyl, and the like, benzyl, or mixtures thereof; each m is 2 or 3; each n is from 1 to about 4, preferably 2; each Y is —O—(O)C—, —(R)N—(O)C—, —C(O)—N(R)—, or —C(O)—O—, preferably —O—(O)C—; the sum of carbons in each R, plus one when Y is —O—(O)C— or —(R)N—(O)—, is C-C, preferably C, more preferably C-C, but no more than one Ror YRsum being less than about 12 and then the other Ror YRsum is at least about 16, with each Rbeing a long chain C-C(or C-C), preferably C-C(or C-C), most preferably C-C(or C-C), straight, branched, unsaturated or polyunsatruated alkyl, the average Iodine Value of the parent fatty acid of the Rbeing from about 20 to about 140. The chelating agent is preferably diaminetriaminepentaacetic acid. The compositions display excellant clarity with a percentage haze in the transmission mode of a Hunter Color analysis of less than 90%, preferably less than 50%.
