Concentrated fabric softening compositions

Claim 1

A concentrated homogeneous aqueous fabric softener composition which is pourable at 40° F., the said composition comprising: A. from about 2% to about 11% of a quaternary ammonium salt having the formula ##STR15## wherein R 1 and R 2 can be the same or different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of C 14 to C 20 alkyl and alkenyl groups, R 3 and R 4 can be the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of C 1 to C 3 alkyl and --(C n H 2n O) x H groups wherein n is 2 or 3, x is from about 1 to about 3, and wherein X - is an anion selected from halide, methylsulfate and ethylsulfate; B. from about 2% to about 14% of a di(2-amidoethyl) methyl quaternary ammonium salt having the formula ##STR16## wherein R 5 and R 6 are the same or different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of C 14 to C 20 alkyl and alkenyl groups, wherein R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H, methyl, ethyl and (C n H 2n O) x H wherein n is 2 or 3 and x is from 1 to about 5 and wherein X - is selected from halide, ethylsulfate and methylsulfate; C. from about 2% to about 13% of an imidazolinium quaternary salt having the formulas ##STR17## wherein R 8 and R 9 are the same or different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of C 14 to C 20 alkyl and alkenyl groups, wherein X - is halide, ethylsulfate or methylsulfate; ##STR18## wherein R 10 and R 11 can be the same or different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of C 14 to C 20 alkyl and alkenyl and X - is halide, methylsulfate or ethylsulfate; and ##STR19## wherein R 12 , R 13 , and R 14 are the same or different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of C 14 to C 20 alkyl or alkenyl, wherein X - is halide, methylsulfate or ethylsulfate; D. from about 0.05% to 0.6% of an inorganic water-soluble ionizable salt; and E. water; wherein the total amount of Components A+B+C is from about 15% to about 22.5%, wherein there is unsaturation present on at least one of Components A, B or C such that the cationic active system, components A+B+C, has an Iodine Value of at least about 4.2.
