Amine functional silicones can also provide softening benefits comparable to those obtained with cationic rinse cycle softeners, but these silicones are expensive and can cause yellowing in fabric after repeated washing. Silicone fluids in softergent formulations do not cause yellowing. [Pg.289]

Dimethicone copolyol has been used to help make stable emulsions and dispersions of silicone fluid in detergent applications. In addition, the fact that the dimethicone copolyol is nonionic makes it compatible with both cationic and anionic systems. Consequently, one would expect to encounter the use of these materials to couple silicone fluid into fabric softeners and laundry detergent systems. [Pg.297]

In fact, U.S. Patent 4,818,421 to Colgate Palmolive discloses that a silicone-fluid-free cationic fabric softener contains a dimethicone copolyol. The dimethicone copolyol surprisingly improves the fabric-softening capabilities of the fatty quat. [Pg.298]

Chloromethane has a global production capacity of ca. 900 kton worldwide [53]. The compound is used in a wide range of products including water treatment, fabric softening, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, high-performance polymers, and silicone fluids such as bathroom sealants. The most important method for its large-scale production today is by the... [Pg.205]
