Filed:

Dec 13, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/449260

Inventors:

Pallassana N. Ramachandran - Robbinsville NJ
Kenneth S. Peterson - Keasbey NJ

Assignee:

Colgate-Palmolive Company - New York NY

International Classification:

C11D 312
C11D 320
D06M 1324
D06M 1350

US Classification:

252 87

Abstract:

A particulate fabric softening detergent composition comprises certain proportions of synthetic organic detergent, builder salt, bentonite (preferably a swelling Wyoming bentonite) and water insoluble soap (preferably aluminum stearate). The detergent composition preferably comprises spray dried built detergent beads with which are blended agglomerated beads of the bentonite and water insoluble soap. The combination of water insoluble soap and bentonite greatly increases the softening action of the composition when it is employed for hand washing of laundry. Also disclosed are: particulate compositions intended for addition to a detergent composition to increase fabric softening action thereof, which comprise bentonite and a water insoluble soap; a process for improving the fabric softening properties of a particulate detergent by blending bentonite and water insoluble soap with it; a process for washing and softening laundry by hand washing it in wash water containing a built heavy duty synthetic organic detergent, bentonite and water insoluble soap; and a process for making an agglomerate of bentonite and water insoluble soap.

US Classification:

252 87

Abstract:

A fabric softening heavy duty liquid detergent, useful for both cleaning and softening laundry, includes synthetic organic detergent, preferably sodium higher alkylbenzene sulfonate, builder salt, preferably including sodium tripolyphosphate, finely divided swelling bentonite, water insoluble soap, and water. Such product is a stable pourable liquid, convenient for use in hand or machine washing of laundry. Preferably, the liquid detergent comprises about 9% of sodium linear tridecylbenzene sulfonate, about 2% of sodium alkyl polyethoxy sulfate wherein the alkyl is of 12 to 15 carbon atoms and the polyethoxy is of 3 ethylene oxide groups, about 11% of sodium tripolyphosphate, about 4% of sodium carbonate, about 12% of Wyoming bentonite, about 2% of aluminum stearate, about 1% of adjuvant(s), and about 59% of water.
