What is Fabric Softeners ?

Fabric Softener is a liquid composition added to washing machines during

the rinse cycle to make clothes feel softer to the touch

Since 1990’s, secondary benefits have driven innovation & marketing

Additional

Benefits

• Limit static cling

• Improve Iron glide

• Reduce wrinkle formation during washing

• Improve wrinkle removal after washing

• Enhance stain protection

• Bring a fresh Fragrance

• Color protection

• Fabric shape retention

• …

Handling Softening agents

Softening

Composition

Aqueous media Softening agent

Particles in suspension

– Softening Agents (EsterQuat,…) are mainly supplied as solid/wax

– Dispersion made in water at controlled T°C & shear rate

These dispersions are subjected to stability issues & require additional thickening

Agitation

Flosoft FS222 polymer is delivered

in inverse emulsion

(oil-based system)

Swelling mechanism

Flosoft Polymer is released and

perform thickening

(water-based system)

Handling Flosoft Polymer

Flosoft Handling Procedure

1. Homogenize/stir Flosoft before use

2. Incorporate slowly Flosoft to your system while stirring (300-500rpm)

3. Keep on stirring until full homogenization

4. Ensure pH is in range 2,0-5,0. For optimized performance delivery, preferred range is 3,0-4,0

Advices for easier handling / better performances

Suited for batch and continuous production process

Flosoft can be added at any steps of your process (pre- and post-addition)

Parameter which can help for a better/faster homogenization are

Higher mixing speed (rpm)

Longer mixing time

Add Flosoft in initial water

Temperature

Addition of acidic material (citric acid,…)

Flosoft well inverted in water

Dispersing properties

Why use dispersants in laundry ?

• For years, STPP (Sodium TriPolyPhosphate = inorganic sequestrant for ions Ca2+) was used for hardness removal + soil dispersion.

• Zeolite has been prefered because of recuded impact on environment, but still not well biodegradable.

• As dispersing molecule, Flosperse PolyAcrylate are preventing fabric incrustation

by affecting Ca-type cristal formation

by keeping in suspension freshly removed soils from fabrics

Water hardness can interact with surfactant efficiency / detergency process

but also generate incrustation of fabrics due to Ca-species precipitation
