Textile treatment compositions and preparation thereof

Claim 1

An aqueous textile treatment composition from about 12% to about 25% of an active mixture consisting essentially of (a) from about 8% to about 22% of a substantially water-insoluble cationic fabric softener having the general formula I ##STR7## wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl and alkenyl groups having from about 12 to about 24 carbon atoms. R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl and hydroxyalkyl groups containing from about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms; and X is an equivalent amount of a counteranion, (b) from about 0.6% to about 3% of water-soluble surfactant comprising apolyalkoxylated ammonium salt having the general formula II ##STR8## wherein R 9 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl and alkenyl groups of from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, and each R 10 is independently selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl, --(C 2 H 4 O) p H, --(C 3 H 6 O) q H and --(C 2 H 4 O) r (C 3 H 6 O) s H; wherein n is an integer from 2 to about 6; m is an integer from 1 to about 5; p,q,r,s, are each a number average in the range from 0 to about 14, the sum total of p,q,r, and s in the molecule being from 2 to about 14, X is an equivalent amount of a counteranion and (c) from about 0.2% to about 5% of a fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, the ester having a total of from about 10 to about 40 carbon atoms and at least one free hydroxy group per molecule.
