Zusammenfassung:A process for making a liquid fabric softening composition is provided. The process comprises the steps of: (a) forming an aqueous phase comprising a dispersible polyolefin having a temperature of from about 50 ~C to about 90 ~C; (b) forming a molten organic phase having a temperature of from about 50 ~C to about 90 ~C, the molten organic phase including a molten fabric softening compound; (c) injecting the molten organic phase into the aqueous phase; (d) mixing during the injection to form a mixture; (e) adding a solution of an electrolyte to the mixture; (f) cooling the mixture to a temperature of from about 15 ~C to about 30 ~C; and (g) adding an additional amount of the electrolyte to form a liquid fabric softening composition. Preferably, the dispersible polyolefin is added as an emulsion or suspension of polyolefin and is an oxidized polyethylene. Additional ingredients such as chelating agents, perfumes, chlorine scavenging agents, phase stabilizing agents, dyes and mixtures may also be added.
