[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a fabric softener, and more particularly, to a concentrated type clothing fabric softener that can impart excellent flexibility and antistatic properties to various types of fibers and that does not thicken over time. Regarding fabric softeners. [Prior Art and its Problems] When clothing is repeatedly worn and washed, the fiber treatment agent may be washed off, or the fibers themselves may deteriorate and become stiff, resulting in an undesirable feel. Therefore, in recent years, fabric softeners that can impart flexibility and antistatic properties to fibers have been frequently used in many households. Currently, most of the commercially available household fabric softeners contain cationic surfactants with one to two long-chain alkyl groups in one molecule, especially di(hardened tallow alkyl) dimethylammonium salts. It is the main ingredient. These soft bases mainly composed of quaternary ammonium salts are poorly soluble in water, and are usually 3 to 5% by weight.
It is produced in the form of an aqueous dispersion or emulsion. With the increase in the number of garments that use fabric softeners, concentrated fabric softeners, which are highly concentrated aqueous dispersions, have been developed to reduce distribution costs, packaging costs, and inventory space at homes and retail stores. Finishing agents are in high demand. However, when the concentration exceeds 5% by weight,
The above aqueous dispersion greatly thickens, causing various troubles in handling. Conventionally, in order to produce such high-concentration fabric softeners, 1. A method of adding a water-soluble cationic activator. 2. A method of adding ethylene oxide adducts of higher alcohols and alkylphenols. 3. A method of adding urea, ethylene glycol, etc. Addition method 4 A method of adding a water-soluble salt is known. However, in the case of 1 to 3, the degree of concentration is insufficient or the viscosity increases over time, making it impossible to obtain sufficient effects. In the case of No. 4, although the effect of reducing the initial viscosity is observed, the effect of suppressing the increase in viscosity over time is small, and if a large amount of salt is added, the aqueous dispersion tends to separate easily, making it a satisfactory concentrated type. Softeners for clothing have not been obtained. [Means for solving the problem] Under these circumstances, the present inventors conducted intensive research to solve the above problem, and found that when dispersing a high concentration of quaternary ammonium salt, We have obtained the knowledge that when an oxyalkylene adduct is applied, initial physical properties can be improved and viscosity increase over time can be significantly suppressed. Based on this knowledge, we have completed the present invention regarding a concentrated clothing fabric softener. It came to this. That is, the present invention comprises (a) 7 to 30% by weight of a quaternary ammonium salt, and (b) ethylene oxide alone or ethylene oxide and propylene oxide added to a compound having 5 or more active hydrogen atoms, and a polyoxyethylene chain portion. The total weight of the polyether compound is 50% or more of the total weight, and one or more polyether compounds or fatty acid esters or cations thereof having a molecular weight of 5,000 to 200,000 are 0.2 to 200,000.
The present invention provides a concentrated clothing fabric softener characterized by containing 10% by weight as an active ingredient. In the present invention, (a) quaternary ammonium salts used as the flexible base material for clothing include the following, and two or more kinds may be used in combination. R1 : C8 - C22 saturated or unsaturated straight-chain or branched alkyl group or hydroxyalkyl group R2 : C8 - C24 saturated or unsaturated straight-chain or branched alkyl group or hydroxyalkyl group R3 , R 4 , R 6 : C 1 to C 3 alkyl group or hydroxyalkyl group or
