Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to new, hydrophilic, fabric softener foam compositions having improved release ability of the fabric softener abetted by the addition of a hydrophilic polyether polyol release agent to the aqueous reactant containing the fabric softener prior to reacting the aqueous reactant with a hydrophilic, isocyanate-terminated prepolymer to form the foam.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A fabric softener-containing, urethane foam-forming composition comprising (a) a water reactant; (b) a prepolymer comprising at least one isocyanate-capped polyol having a reaction functionality of at least two, the total of said polyol present having an ethylene oxide content of at least 40 weight percent before capping; (c) when the reaction functionality of (b) is two, a crosslinking agent containing at least three functional groups; (d) a hydrophilic polyether polyol release agent and (e) a fabric softener, the weight ratio of (a):(b) being 0.3 to 2.0:1.0.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
