Patent ID: 8603961

Claim:
A method of making a fabric care composition comprising the steps of: a) combining a molten mixture of glycerol esters, wherein each glycerol ester in the mixture of glycerol esters has the structure of Formula I wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of fatty acid ester moieties comprising carbon chains having a carbon chain length of from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms; —OH; and combinations thereof, a molten fabric softener active and water to form a mixture; said fabric softener active being selected from the group consisting of: (i) bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-dimethylammonium chloride fatty acid ester having an average chain length of the fatty acid moieties of from 16 to 20 carbon atoms; (ii) bis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-dimethylammonium methylsulphate fatty acid ester having a molar ratio of fatty acid moieties to amine moieties of from 1.85 to 1.99, an average chain length of the fatty acid moieties of from 16 to 18 carbon atoms and an iodine value of the fatty acid moieties, calculated for the free fatty acid, of from 0.5 to 60; (iii) N,N-bis(stearoyl-oxy-ethyl) N,N-dimethyl ammonium chloride; (iv) N,N-bis(tallowoyl-oxy-ethyl) N,N-dimethyl ammonium chloride; (v) N,N-bis(stearoyl-oxy-ethyl) N-(2 hydroxyethyl) N-methyl ammonium methylsulfate; (vi) dicanoladimethylammonium chloride; (vii) di(hard)tallowedimethylammonium chloride; (viii) dicanoladimethylammonium methylsulfate; and (ix) mixtures thereof.
