Definitions

• Yellowing may be mitigated by providing for an anionic surfactant in combination with the cationic fabric softener.
• the anionic surfactant forms a complex with the cationic'fabric softener, which, under proper conditions, may be deposited on the fabric to be softened without causing yellowing.
• This approach to the control of the discoloration caused by fabric softeners is not without difficulties.
• the principal disadvantage of it is that the presence of an anionic surfactant interferes with the softening efficiency of most cationic fabric softeners.
• Alkanols suitable for use in the present invention usually contain from 12 to 22 carbon atoms.
• linear alcohols may be used, whether of natural or synthetic origin, such as dodecyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and mixed alcohols such as C to C alcohols prepared by Ziegler polymerization of ethylene.
• Alkane diols such as octadecane diol may also be used if desired.
• EXAMPLE 1 25 the distearyldimethyl ammonium chloride as a fabric softener, sodium lauryl sulfate and various alkyl alcohols.
• Five 4X6 inch terry cloth swatches were treated in a Terg-O-Tometer pot for 15 minutes with 1,000 ml. of 90 p.p.m. hard water artificially hardened with calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 ratio and additionally containing 4 ppm. of Fe.
• the washing temperature was 120 F. 1.94 grams of built nonionic detergent composition and 0.1 grams of distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride were added.
• the amounts of sodium lauryl sulfate and alkyl alcohol were varied as set forth below,
• EXAMPLE 2 The test described in Example 1 was repeated substituting fabric softener 1-methyll-alkylamido-ethyl-Z-al- TABLE I.TERG-O-TOMETER SOFTENING ACTION AND YELLOWING DATA Detergent, Softener, Job Pot percent percent Antiyellowant AS Ah I 1 0. 194 s t 0. 0 0. 0 2 0.194 0.01 2.5 12.8 3 0. 194 0.01 .0034%* Na lauryl sulfate-.25 0c 2. 5 11.9 4 0. 194 0.01 .0067% Na lauryl sulfate-.25 octadecanol 0. 0 2.0 II 1 0. 194 0. 0 2 0. 194 0. 01 .4 10.
