A PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING A LIQUID, SOFTENING, ANTI-STATIC DETERGENT COMPOSITION BASED ON SYNTHETIC ORGANIC DETERGENT, BENTONITE AND ISOESTEARMIDE.

摘要

A fabric softening and antistatic liquid laundry detergent composition includes synthetic anionic organic detergent, bentonite and higher aliphatic isostearamide antistat in an aqueous medium. The liquid detergent composition preferably contains a builder, such as polyphosphate and/or carbonate. A process for washing and drying laundry utilizes the described liquid detergent in the washing operation and produces laundry that is soft and static-free, or of low electrostatic charge, despite having been subjected to a tumble drying process or similar static charging drying process, which normally causes laundry of similar fabrics to become electrostatically charged, resulting in objectionable "static cling". A combined softening and antistatic composition which comprises bentonite fabric softener and N-isostearamide antistat in an aqueous medium is intended for addition to liquid detergent compositions or to wash waters. The preferred isostearamides are N-cocoisostearamide, N-octylisostearamide and N-hydrogenated tallow isostearamide.
