<p>1-14085/+ Wetting agents and their use as mercerising assistants A wetting agent, in particular for mercerising cotton and cotton blend fabrics, which contains (a) sulfates of a fatty alcohol having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, (b) phosphates of a monoalcohol having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, (c) alcohols having 6 to 18 carbon atoms or condensation products thereof with paraformaldehyde, (d) a hydrotropic solubilizing agent and optionally (e) an adduct of an organopolysiloxane and ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide and/or (f) a complexing agent. The wetting agents are distinguished by great wetting power and low foaming, not only in the course of the mercerisation but also in the recovery of liquor from mercerising washing baths.</p> |
