TEXTILE SOFTENING COMPOSITION

摘要

The invention relates to a textile softening composition, comprising, as component A, a tertiary or quaternary ammonia salt of formula (I) or (II): R1R2R3N+CH2CHR4OC (=0) R5 X- (I) R1R2R3N+ (CH2) 3NHC (=0) R5 X- (II), where R1 is hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl, R2 and R3 independently of each other are C1-4-alkyl or C2-4-hydroxyalkyl, R4 is hydrogen or methyl, R5 is a linear C15-21-alkyl- or -alkenyl radical, and X- is a monovalent Anion, and as component B a non-ionic softening agent having only one long-chain hydrocarbon radical bonded to a polar radical having at least one free hydroxy group, wherein fatty alcohol alkoxylate or fatty acid alkoxylate are excepted as component B, demonstrating good softening effect and forming shelf-stable dispersions if the molar ratio of component A to component B is in the range from 2:1 to 1:3, the difference between the average chain length of the long-chain hydrocarbon radicals of components A and B is no greater than 2 carbon atoms, and the hydrocarbon radicals of components A and B comprise on average no greater than 0.5 double bonds per hydrocarbon radical. Such a composition can be produced by converting a fatty acid, a C2-6-diole or C3-9-polyol, and a tertiary alkanol amine or a diamine having tertiary and primary amino groups at a suitable molar ratio while removing water and carrying out subsequent alkylation or protonation.
