A fabric enhancer comprising: at least one fabric softening active, wherein said at least one fabric softening active comprises a plurality of particles comprising an intensity weighted particle size distribution wherein greater than about 95% of said plurality of particles have a size below about 170 nm.

Clear and/or translucent fabric enhancers comprising nano-sized particles

A fabric enhancing composition comprising: at least one fabric softening active, wherein said fabric softening active comprises a plurality of particles comprising a intensity weighted particle size distribution wherein at least about 50% said particles have a particle size below about 170 nm.

Fabric enhancing compositions comprising nano-sized particles and anionic detergent carry over tolerance

Compositions comprising cationic high amylose starch are effective for use in fabric care compositions.

Fabric care compositions comprising cationic starch

The invention provides compositions for use as pet litters and pet bedding, or for absorption of liquids and gases. These compositions are formed as aggregates or agglomerates of different components having different hydration capacities and 5 hydration rates.

Absorbent composition and extended use pet litter

Fabric care compositions comprise cationic starch and fabric softening active, wherein the composition comprises a viscosity of less than about 2000 centipoise.

The invention provides compositions for use as pet litters and pet bedding, or for absorption of liquids and gases. These compositions are formed as aggregates or agglomerates of different components having different hydration capacities and hydration rates.

Clear or translucent fabric softening compositions having a biodegradable fabric softening active and an added chelating agent are disclosed. The biodegradable fabric softening active preferably has the formula:[(R)&#x2014;N&#x2014;[(CH)&#x2014;Y&#x2014;R]]X&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)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 &#x2014;O&#x2014;(O)C&#x2014;, &#x2014;(R)N&#x2014;(O)C&#x2014;, &#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;N(R)&#x2014;, or &#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;O&#x2014;, preferably &#x2014;O&#x2014;(O)C&#x2014;; the sum of carbons in each R, plus one when Y is &#x2014;O&#x2014;(O)C&#x2014; or &#x2014;(R)N&#x2014;O)C&#x2014;, 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%.
