Abstract:
A solid fabric softening composition is disclosed which includes a quaternary ammonium fabric softening compound which is stabilized to form a solid with a mixture of a water soluble organic salt and a medium to long chain carboxylic acid. This stabilizing combination has been shown to effectively form a solid quaternary ammonium based fabric softening composition with up to as much as 70% by weight of quaternary ammonium compound. The formulations are stable at typical storage temperatures of up to 110° F. and provide fabric softening similar to and even superior to other traditional liquid formulations.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of making a solid cast fabric softening composition comprising:\n (a) mixing from about 35 wt. % to about 65 wt. % of a quaternary ammonium compound;\n from about 8 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of water soluble organic salt; \n from about 0.5 wt. % to about 4.5 wt. % of a medium to long chain carboxylic acid and any other additional components, \n (b) heating and stirring the mixture obtained in step (a) to form a melt, and thereafter (c) allowing the mixture to cool to room temperature and to solidify wherein said cast solid is non-weeping at 110\u00b0 F.
