Fabric care conditioning composition in the form of an article
Fabric conditioning compositions such as those that are typically provided to the consumer in liquid form are disclosed. The fabric care conditioning composition is in the form of a porous, dissolvable substrate. The substrate comprises diester quaternary ammonium compound, water soluble polymer and Remaining Water. The substrate may take any number of suitable shapes.
1. A process of making fabric care conditioning article comprising a porous dissolvable solid structure said process comprising the steps of:
a. preparing a solution comprising water, film-forming water-soluble polymer water soluble polymer, plasticizer, diester quaternary ammonium compound and optionally nonionic surfactant wherein said solution:
i. comprises from about 20% to about 50% solids by weight of said pre-mix; and
ii. has a viscosity of from about 2,500 centipoise to about 150,000 centipoise;
b. aerating said solution by introducing gas into said solution to form a wet aerated product;
c. forming said wet aerated product into a desired shape to form a shaped wet product;
d. drying said shaped wet product to a desired Remaining Water content to form a porous dissolvable solid structure; and
e. adding perfume to said porous dissolvable solid structure by spraying said perfume onto said structure.
2. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of adding perfume microcapsules to said porous dissolvable solid structure by spraying a perfume microcapsule slurry onto said structure.
3. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of adding perfume and perfume microcapsules to said porous dissolvable solid structure.
4. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of adding perfume particles to said porous dissolvable solid structure by dusting said structure with said particles.
