Fabric conditioning compositions containing an amine acid softening compound

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition formed from granules of softener, which granules are formed from a powder of said clay component wherein the amount of moisture in said clay component is from about 3% to about 10%, by weight, and wherein the total amount of moisture in the compacted fabric softener composition is from about 3% to about 25% by weight.

Wash cycle unit dose softener containing a controlled amount of moisture

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition in an amount sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine, and wherein said fabric softener composition comprises (A) a treated montmorillonite-containing clay selected to have initial properties as follows: (i) a montmorillonite content of at least 85%; and (ii) when said clay is activated with sodium ions, dried and ground to particles, said ground particles do not swell more than about 2.5 fold over a period of 24 hours when added to deionized water at room temperature; and wherein said montmorillonite-containing clay is treated by the process comprising the following sequential steps: (a) drying said clay to a moisture content of from about 25 to about 35%, by weight; (b) extruding the dried material through a die to form a paste; (c) drying said paste to a moisture content of from about 10% to about 14% by weight; and (d) calcining at a temperature of about 120&deg; C. to about 250&deg; C.; and (B) at least one disintegration agent to enhance the dispersibility of said compacted granular composition in water selected from the group consisting of swelling polymers; cellulose; and electrolytes.

Wash cycle unit dose softener containing a disintegrating agent

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition comprising a softening clay component in an amount sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine.

A particulate built synthetic organic detergent composition which includes a synthetic organic detergent which is an anionic detergent, a nonionic detergent or a mixture thereof, and a building proportion of a water soluble and/or water insoluble builder, includes a dispensing assisting proportion of a siliconate. The detergent composition described preferably also includes bentonite as a fabric softening agent. Also described is a method of making the heavy duty laundry detergent composition which includes spray drying a crutcher mix of the synthetic organic detergent(s) and the builder(s) to particles of desired size and applying to the surfaces of such particles a dispensing assisting proportion of a siliconate.

Particulate detergent containing siliconate, composition and method for

Enzyme particles are coated or at least partially coated with a salt of a lower alkyl siliconic acid and/or polymerization product(s) thereof which may be formed from such acid on storage. The coated enzyme particles are useful as components of heavy duty fabric softening laundry detergent compositions, such as those which contain bentonite to soften laundry. The coating material, which may be more simply referred to as the siliconate, assists in stabilizing the enzyme when such is incorporated in detergent compositions, helps to prevent adherence of the coated particles to container or compartment walls and can aid in controlling the foaming activity of the built synthetic organic detergents.
