Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) a quaternary ammonium compound; (b) a cationic polysaccharide; (c) a non-ionic polysaccharide; and (d) an amino silicone compound having a degree of polymerization of 300 to 10,000.

Claims (40)

1 . A composition comprising:

(a) a quaternary ammonium compound;

(b) a cationic polysaccharide;

(c) a non-ionic polysaccharide; and

(d) an amino silicone compound according to the general formula (V):

wherein:

each R 9 is independently a C 1 -C 30 alkyl, optionally substituted;

Y is a C 1 -C 30 alkylene, optionally substituted;

R 10 and R 11 is independently H or a C 1 -C 30 alkyl which is optionally substituted;

the sum of p and q is in the range of 300 to 10,000, provided that q is an integer of at least 1.

2 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium compound has the general formula:

[N + (R 1 )(R 2 )(R 3 )(R 4 )] y X −   (I)

wherein:

R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 , same or different, is a C 1 -C 30 hydrocarbon group, optionally containing a heteroatom, or an ester or amide group;

X is an anion;

y is the valence of X.

3 . The composition according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 as defined in general formula (I) contains an ester or amide group.

4 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium compound has the general formula:

[N + ((CH 2 ) n -T-R 8 ) m (R 9 ) 4-m ] y X −   (III)

wherein:

R 8 is a C 1 -C 24 alkyl or alkenyl; R 9 is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl or hydroxylalkyl;

T is —C(═O)—O—, —O—C(═O)—, —NR 10 —C(═O)— or —(C═O)—NR 10 —, wherein R 10 is H, a C 1 -C 6 alkyl or a C 1 -C 6 hydroxyalkyl;

n is an integer from 0 to 5; m is selected from 1, 2 and 3;

X is an anion; y is the valence of X.

5 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium compound is according to the general formula (IV):

[N + (C 2 H 4 —OOCR 8 ) 2 (CH 3 )(C 2 H 4 —OH)](CH 3 ) z SO 4 −   (IV)

wherein R 8 is a C 12 -C 20 alkyl;

z is an integer from 1 to 3.

6 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic polysaccharide is a cationic guar.

7 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic polysaccharide is a non-ionic guar.

8 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the amino silicone compound is according to the general formula (VI):

CH 3 ) 3 —[O—Si(CH 3 ) 2 ] p —[O—Si(CH 3 ){(CH 2 ) 3 —NH—(CH 2 ) 2 —NH 2 }] q —OSi(CH 3 ) 3   (VI)

wherein the sum of p and q is in the range of 300 to 10,000, provided that q is an integer of at least 1.

9 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the amino silicone compound has a viscosity of no less than 300 cSt, the viscosity being measured at 25° C.

10 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the weight of the quaternary ammonium compound and the total weight of the polysaccharides comprised in said composition is between 2:1 and 100:1.

11 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises a fragrance material or perfume.

12 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises the quaternary ammonium compound in an amount of from 1 wt % to 10 wt %, based on total weight of the composition.

13 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is a fabric conditioning composition.

14 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is a textile care agent.

15 . A method for conditioning a fabric, the method comprising a step of contacting the fabric with the composition according to claim 1 .
