CATIONIC DETERGENT COMPOUNDS

摘要

There is provided a cationic ester surfactant comprising at least one ester linkage and at least one cationically charged group characterized in that said ester linkage is separated from said cationically charged group by a spacer group consisting of a chain comprising at least three atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen and nitrogen atoms, wherein any oxygen or nitrogen atom in the chain connects only with carbon atoms in the chain. Surfactant systems and detergent compositions suitable for use in laundry and dishwashing methods containing the cationic ester surfactants are also provided.
