Provided are oligomeric amidoamines, an oligomeric amidoamine salt of the oligomeric amidoamine, and/or an oligomeric amidoquat of the oligomeric amidoamine. These materials can be used as fabric softeners in fabric softener compositions or as a hair treatment in hair treatment compositions.

Oligomeric amidoamines or amidoquats for fabric or hair treatment compositions

Fabric softening compositions providing enhanced performance and containing cationic softeners and fatty amides

A fabric softening product which is a composition or an article for application to fibrous materials so that a fabric softening component thereof is deposited on the fibrous materials and softens the same, the fabric softening component comprising at least one higher aliphatic acid ester selected from the group consisting of: I. an ester having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may be the same or different and are H, (--H.sub.2).sub.x OR.sub.5 or (--H.sub.2).sub.y CH.sub.3 ; R.sub.5 is H, --OCR.sub.6, [--(--CH.sub.2 --].sub.n H or [--(--CH.sub.2 --).sub.m O]--.sub.n OCR.sub.6 and --OCR.sub.6 is a higher fatty acid acyl group having 8 to 24 carbon atoms; x is an integer from 0 to 3, y is an integer from 0 to 4, m is an integer from 1 to 3, and n is an integer from 1 to 10; with the proviso (1) that only two of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may be H or --(CH.sub.2).sub.y CH.sub.3 and (2) that there be at least 2 higher fatty acid acyl groups; II. an oligomer of I; and III. an ester having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.7 and R.sub.6 may be the same or different and are H or --OCR.sub.6, a is an integer from 1 to 3, b is an integer from 1 to 20 and --OCR.sub.6 has the meaning ascribed above; with the proviso that only one of R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 may be H; and a dispersing agent therefor.

Fabric softening composition based on higher fatty acid ester and

In a liquid laundry detergent composition containing a perborate bleach, hydroxylamine sulfate is added as a bleach stabilizer and specifically as an inhibitor of catalase, an enzyme present in natural body soils, which enzyme will rapidly decompose hydrogen peroxide, the active bleaching component of the perborate bleach. The preferred compositions are non-aqueous liquids based on liquid nonionic surfactants and preferably include a detergent builder salt suspended in the liquid nonionic surfactant.

Liquid laundry detergent-bleach composition and method of use

A nonaqueous liquid nonbuilt laundry detergent bleach booster composition comprising a suspension or solution of diacetyl methyl amine (DAMA) organic liquid peroxy compound precursor in liquid nonionic surfactant. The bleach booster composition comprises a nonaqueous liquid nonionic surfactant containing a stable suspension or solution of diacetyl methyl amine (DAMA) and an anti-gel and viscosity control agent. The bleach booster composition is easily pourable and readily disperses on contact with water.

Nonaqueous liquid nonbuilt laundry detergent bleach booster composition

A nonaqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition with improved rinse properties and method of using the detergent composition. The dishwashing composition comprises a liquid nonionic surfactant containing a stable or readily redispersible suspension of polyphosphate builder salt.

Nonaqueous liquid automatic dishwashing detergent composition with

A liquid heavy duty laundry detergent composition comprising a suspension of builder salt in liquid nonionic surfactant. To improve dispensibility in automatic washing machines, the composition contains also a nonionic surfactant which has been modified to convert a free OH group thereof to a moiety having a COOH group, e.g., by reaction withh succinic anhydride.

Liquid laundry detergent composition

A particulate bleaching detergent composition is provided comprising (a) a bleaching agent comprising a peroxyacid compound and/or a water-soluble salt thereof; (b) a polymer containing momomeric units of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and M represents hydrogen, or an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or ammonium cation: and (c) one or more surface active detergent compounds.

Stabilized bleach and laundering composition

A particulate bleaching detergent composition is provided comprising (a) a bleaching agent comprising an inorganic peroxygen compound in combination with an activator therefor; (b) a polymer containing momomeric units of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and M represents hydrogen, or an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or ammonium cation; and (c) one or more surface active detergent compounds.

Stabilized bleaching and laundering composition

An improved granular bleaching detergent composition is provided comprising (a) a bleaching agent comprising a peroxyacid compound and/or a water-soluble salt thereof; and (b) at least one surface active agent selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, nonionic, ampholytic and zwitterionic detergents; said bleaching detergent composition being substantially free of silicate compounds.

Silicate-free bleaching and laundering composition

An improved granular bleaching detergent composition is provided comprising (a) a bleaching agent comprising a peroxygen compound in combination with an activator therefor; and (b) at least one surface active agent selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, nonionic, ampholytic and zwitterionic detergents; said bleaching detergent composition being substantially free of silicate compounds.
