FATTY ACID DERIVATIVES AND THE USE THEREOF AS SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS IN WASHING AND CLEANING AGENTS

摘要

The fatty acid derivatives described are based on epoxidized unsaturated fatty acid esters or triglycerides and are reacted with amines such as hydroxy- and/or amino-substituted hydrophilic amines or amino acids and/or with alkanoles or with water on the epoxy group and/or the carboxylic ester group. These fatty acid amides can be used as surface active agents in washing and cleaning agents.
