Alkylated aminoether surfactants

摘要

This invention provides water-based compositions, particularly coating, ink, and agricultural compositions, manifesting reduced equilibrium and dynamic surface tension by the incorporation of a surface tension reducing amount of certain alkylated aminoether compounds of the structure R-HN(CH2)p[O(CH2)n]mO(CH2)qNH-R'where n is 2-6, m is 0-4, and p and q are 2-6, and R and R' independently are an alkyl group comprising 5 to 18 carbons, preferably which is branched or in which the point of attachment to nitrogen is on a nonterminal carbon.
