A fabric softener composition in which a blend of high mono alkyl MDEA and TEA ester quats is provided. The fabric softener composition includes a blend of from about 15 to about 65%, by weight of the total blend, of a triethanol amine ester quat and from about 35 to about 85%, by weight of the total blend, of a methyl diethanol amine ester quat having a mono alkyl ester quat level of about 10% or greater.
Polyquat Anionic Scavengers For Rinse Cycle Fabric Softeners
A rinse cycle fabric softener concentrate having improved softening properties consisting essentially of a blend of at least one polyquat and a cationic fabric softener agent selected from the group consisting of ester-containing quaternary ammonium compounds, amido amine quaternary ammonium compounds, imidazoline quats and mixtures and salts thereof.
Polyquaternaries From Mdea Using Dibasic Acids And Fatty Acids
Polyquaternaries which are obtained by reacting at least one alkyldialkanolamine with a mixture of acids comprising at least one fatty acid and at least one dicarboxylic acid are disclosed. The inventive quaternaries have improved properties, such as softness, dispersibility and high biodegradeability; therefore, the inventive esterquats are highly useful as a component in rinse cycle fabric softeners, dryer sheets, hair conditioners, paper debonders and other applications in which a high degree of softness is required.
