- the 100% cotton terry towel tracers were equilibrated for at least 5 hours in a room with constant temperature (23°C) and humidity (55% relative humidity).
- the fabric to fabric kinetic friction coefficient was measured in the same room using a Thwing-Albert Friction Peel Tester with a 2.5 kg load cell and a crosshead height of 25mm.
- a first piece of fabric was laid on the sample stage of the instrument, and a second piece of the same fabric (11.43cm x 6.35cm) was attached to a 200g clamping sled attached to the load cell and placed on the surface of the first piece of fabric.
- the Friction Peel Tester is programmed to move the second piece of fabric (on the clamping sled) over the first piece of fabric (on the sample stage) at a speed of 20cm/min for 20 seconds. As the fabrics move over each other the software records the frictional force experienced by the fabric on the clamping sled. The terry towel tracers are placed on the instrument to be measured against the grain.
- the kinetic friction coefficient (referred to as "KCoF") is derived by taking the average force of the last 10 seconds of the measurement (kinetic section) divided by the normal force exerted during the measurement. This kinetic friction coefficient is used as a measure of softness. A low kinetic friction coefficient means less friction, and so better softness. The average friction result of the 10 terry towels is reported below.
- the DEEDMAC diesterquat raw material was used to prepare working standards to generate a calibration curve. This curve covered a working standard concentration range of 13.2-to-1644 ng/mL, which translates into 12.8-1596 ⁇ g/g (ppm) for the active diesterquat deposited on fabric. A labelled internal standard with deuterium was used to correct for matrix effects.
- the amount of deposited DEEDMAC diesterquat has been defined by cross-comparing the measurement on the extracted DEEDMAC diesterquat material versus the generated calibration curve. The average result of the 10 cotton terry towels has been reported.
- the below table shows the actual amount of diesterquat (DEEDMAC) softening active deposited onto the fabrics, as well as the resulting coefficient of friction measured on the fabrics. It can clearly be seen that when formulating a cationic hydroxyethylcellulose according to the invention in the main wash product, that an enhanced diesterquat softening active (DEEDMAC) deposition in the rinse and hence improved softening performance (decreased coefficient of friction - KCoF) is achieved.
- DEEDMAC diesterquat softening active
