SupraCare™ 420 Softness Booster is a water-soluble polymer developed for fabric softeners to deliver softening performance while improving water absorption. It can increase fabric softness compared with esterquat used alone and may allow lower esterquat levels while maintaining softness. The product is described as effective across a broad pH range and may contribute to higher fragrance retention. Its mechanism of action is linked to hydrogen bonding affinity that helps improve deposition of polar compounds such as esterquat onto fabrics.
