mit 14 bis 18 mol Ethylenoxid pro Mol I als Textilweichmacher.The invention relates to the use of the reaction products of compounds of the formula I.

RCONHC₂H₄OH I


in the
R
is a C₁₂- to C₂₀-, preferably C₁₆- to C₂₀-, alkyl or alkenyl radical,

with 14 to 18 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of I as a fabric softener.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung gewisse der obigen Umsetzungsprodukte, Mischungen enthaltend solche Umsetzungsprodukte und Herstellungs-verfahren dafür.The invention further relates to certain of the above reaction products, mixtures containing such reaction products and production processes therefor.

Der Rest RCO leitet sich z. B. von der Laurin-, Linolen-, Stearin-, Palmitin-, Talgfett- oder Kokosfettsäure und vorzugsweise von der Ölsäure ab.The rest of RCO derives e.g. B. from lauric, linolenic, stearic, palmitic, tallow or coconut fatty acid and preferably from oleic acid.

Vorzugsweise nimmt man für die Umsetzung der Verbindungen der Formel I 16 mol Ethylenoxid pro Mol I. Die Verbindungen der Formel I sind bekannt, sie können z. B. durch Umsetzung der Säuren der Formel

        RCOOH


mit Monoethanolamin in an sich bekannter Weise hergestellt werden.
Preferably, 16 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of I are used for the reaction of the compounds of the formula I. The compounds of the formula I are known; B. by reacting the acids of the formula

RCOOH


be prepared with monoethanolamine in a manner known per se.

Die Umsetzungsprodukte aus den Verbindungen und Ethylenoxid sind zum Teil ebenfalls bekannt, beispielsweise aus der US-A 2 520 381.Some of the reaction products from the compounds and ethylene oxide are also known, for example from US Pat. No. 2,520,381.

Die Umsetzung der Verbindungen der Formel I mit Ethylenoxid erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise so, daß man die Verbindungen I unter erhöhtem Druck (2 bis 10, vorzugsweise 4 bis 8 bar) bei 100 bis 140°C, vorzugsweise 110 bis 120°C, portionsweise mit dem Ethylenoxid umsetzt. Als Katalysator wird vorzugsweise Kalium-t-butylat verwendet. Die Umsetzungsprodukte werden dann wie üblich aufgearbeitet.The reaction of the compounds of the formula I with ethylene oxide is advantageously carried out in such a way that the compounds I are added in portions with the ethylene oxide under elevated pressure (2 to 10, preferably 4 to 8 bar) at 100 to 140 ° C., preferably 110 to 120 ° C. implements. Potassium t-butoxide is preferably used as the catalyst. The reaction products are then worked up as usual.

Einzelheiten der Herstellung können den Beispielen entnommen werden, in denen sich Angaben über Teile und Prozente, sofern nicht anders vermerkt, auf das Gewicht beziehen.Details of the production can be found in the examples, in which information on parts and percentages, unless stated otherwise, relate to the weight.

Die Umsetzungsprodukte aus den Verbindungen I und Ethylenoxid werden als Weichmacher für Textilien, vorzugsweise Gewebe aus Baumwolle, Zellwolle, Polynosic oder sonstigen Celluloseregeneratfasern, sowie deren Mischungen mit vollsynthetischen Fasern, wie Polyamid-, Polyacrylnitril-, Polyester- oder Cellulosetriacetat-Fasern, verwendet.The reaction products from the compounds I and ethylene oxide are used as plasticizers for textiles, preferably fabrics made of cotton, rayon, Polynosic or other regenerated cellulose fibers, and mixtures thereof with fully synthetic fibers, such as polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyester or cellulose triacetate fibers, are used.

Sie ergeben auf den Textilien einen angenehmen, weichen, fließenden und glatten Warengriff.They result in a pleasant, soft, flowing and smooth handle on the textiles.

Die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Umsetzungsprodukte sind wasserlöslich und haben einen nichtionogenen Charakter. Diese beiden Eigenschaften sind vorteilhaft für die Verträglichkeit mit Farb- und Ausrüstungsmitteln, die in der Imprägnierflotte verwendet werden, beispielsweise Aminoplast-Vorkondensaten für die Knitterfrei- und Schrumpffestausrüstung, Farbstoffen, Pigmenten und Bindemitteln, optischen Aufhellern, Hydrophobier-, Egalisier- und Netzmitteln. Insbesondere bei zur Farbaufhellung nach üblichen Methoden nachbehandelten erfindungsgemäßen Produkten tritt bei der Hochveredlung keine Vergilbung auf.The reaction products used according to the invention are water-soluble and have a nonionic character. These two properties are advantageous for the compatibility with colorants and finishing agents used in the impregnation liquor, for example aminoplast precondensates for the crease and shrink-proof finish, dyes, pigments and binders, optical brighteners, water repellents, leveling agents and wetting agents. In particular in the case of products according to the invention aftertreated for color brightening by customary methods, no yellowing occurs during the high refinement.

Die Weichmachungsmittel können auf beliebige Weise, z.B. durch Aufsprühen oder Tauchen und Abquetschen (Foulardieren) auf das Textilmaterial aufgebracht werden.The softening agents can be used in any manner, e.g. by spraying or dipping and squeezing (padding) onto the textile material.

Die Einsatzmengen der erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Produkte können in Abhängigkeit von dem zu behandelnden Textilgut, von der Menge der zugesetzten Ausrüstungsmittel und von dem gewünschten Weichmachungseffekt in weiten Grenzen variiert werden. Im allgemeinen werden sie bei der Hochveredlung von Baum- und Zellwolltextilien in Mengen von 0,2 - 3 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 0,6 - 1,5 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das Warengewicht, auf das Textilgut aufgebracht.The amounts used of the products used according to the invention can be varied within wide limits depending on the textile material to be treated, on the amount of finishing agents added and on the desired softening effect. In general, they are applied to the textile goods in amounts of 0.2-3% by weight, preferably 0.6-1.5% by weight, based on the weight of the goods, for the finishing of cotton and cellulose textiles.

Gegenüber bisher üblichen Weichmachern auf Basis von alkoxylierten Fettsäuren haben die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Produkte bessere Weichmachereigenschaften und zudem noch stabilisierende Wirkung auf Produkte auf Silikonbasis.Compared to plasticizers based on alkoxylated fatty acids that have been customary to date, the products used according to the invention have better plasticizer properties and, moreover, have a stabilizing effect on silicone-based products.

Polydimethyl-Siloxanemulsionen werden bekannterweise in der Textilveredlung als ausgezeichnete Weichmacher und Glättungsmittel verwendet; sie werden überwiegend im Foulardverfahren (Tauchen, Abquetschen) auf das Textilgut aufgetragen. Der Nachteil aller handelsüblichen Polysiloxan-Emulsionen ist jedoch ihre nicht ausreichende Scherstabilität auf den Abquetsch-(Foulard)Walzen. Bei hoher Produktionsgeschwindigkeit bricht die Emulsion durch die starken Scherkräfte der Foulardwalzen zusammen, was zur Ausscheidung des reinen Silikonöls aus der Emulsion führt. Es bildet sich ein Walzenbelag, der irreparable Flecken auf der Ware verursacht.Polydimethyl siloxane emulsions are known to be used in textile finishing as excellent plasticizers and smoothing agents; they are mainly applied to the textile material using the padding process (dipping, squeezing). The disadvantage of all commercially available polysiloxane emulsions, however, is their insufficient shear stability on the squeeze (foulard) rollers. At high production speeds, the emulsion breaks down due to the strong shear forces of the paddle rollers, which leads to the separation of the pure silicone oil from the emulsion. A roller covering forms, which causes irreparable stains on the goods.

Durch Abmischen der Polysiloxanemulsionen mit den erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Produkten verbessert sich wesentlich deren Scherstabilität, so daß es dadurch möglich wird, hohe Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten einzustellen. Bezüglich der anwendungstechnischen Eigenschaften erhält man mit den Mischprodukten gleich gute Ergebnisse wie mit den reinen Silikonweichmachern allein, die vergleichsweise hohe Kosten verursachen.Mixing the polysiloxane emulsions with the products used according to the invention significantly improves their shear stability, so that it becomes possible to set high production speeds. Regarding the application properties, the mixed products give the same good results as the pure silicone plasticizers alone, which cause comparatively high costs.

Günstige Mischungen enthalten z.B. 1 - 6 Gew.-Teile Silikonemulsion (Siliziumgehalt 10 - 12 %) und 9 - 4 Gew.-Teile der erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Umsetzungsprodukte.Favorable mixtures contain e.g. 1 to 6 parts by weight of silicone emulsion (silicon content 10 to 12%) and 9 to 4 parts by weight of the reaction products used according to the invention.

Mischprodukt I:Mixed product I:

6 Teile 30%ige wäßrige Lösung vom Umsetzungsprodukt, hergestellt nach Beispiel 3, und 4 Teile 30%ige Emulsion vom Silikonweichmacher aus Versuch d).6 parts of 30% aqueous solution of the reaction product, prepared according to Example 3, and 4 parts of 30% emulsion of the silicone plasticizer from experiment d).

Der Unterschied im Warengriff zwischen b, c und d ist nicht erkennbar. Die ausgerüstete Ware fühlt sich in den Versuchen b - d gleich weich an, mit charakteristischer silikonspezifischer Glätte. Dagegen fühlt sich das nach Versuch a) ausgerüstete Gewebe hart und rauh an.The difference in the handle between b, c and d is not recognizable. In the trials b - d, the finished goods feel equally soft, with a characteristic silicone-specific smoothness. In contrast, the fabric finished after trial a) feels hard and rough.

Zur Prüfung der Scherstabilität wurden die Versuchsflotten a - d zuerst mit einem Rührer bei 3000 U/min 10 Min. gerührt. Danach wurde die Walzenbelagsbildung wie folgt geprüft:To test the shear stability, the test liquors a - d were first stirred with a stirrer at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. The formation of the roller cover was then checked as follows:

Von der Flotte werden 450 ml in das Chassis eines Foulards gegeben. Der Foulard hat zwei horizontal gelagerte Walzen von 9 cm Durchmesser und 15 cm Länge. Der Antrieb erfolgt elektrisch über ein stufenlos regelbares Getriebe. Der Walzendruck wird über einen Hebelarm von 35 cm Länge eingestellt; am Ende des Hebelarms hängen etwa 12 kg Bleigewicht. Die Härte der Foulardwalzen beträgt 72° Shore (Antriebswalze) und 84° Shore Härte (Druckwalze).450 ml of the liquor are added to the chassis of a foulard. The foulard has two horizontally mounted rollers, 9 cm in diameter and 15 cm in length. The drive takes place electrically via a continuously variable transmission. The roller pressure is set using a lever arm 35 cm long; at the end of the lever arm there are about 12 kg of lead weight. The hardness of the paddle rollers is 72 ° shore (drive roller) and 84 ° shore hardness (pressure roller).

Ein endloses Bw-Gewebe von 12 cm Breite und 56 cm Länge läßt man 30 Minuten lang durch die Flotte von unten in das Quetschwerk mit etwa 12 m/min einlaufen. Der Walzenbelag wird visuell bewertet von 1 (kein Walzenbelag) - 5 (starker Walzenbelag).An endless web fabric 12 cm wide and 56 cm long is allowed to run through the liquor from below into the crushing unit at about 12 m / min for 30 minutes. The roller covering is visually rated from 1 (no roller covering) to 5 (strong roller covering).

Die Flotten, die die Mischprodukte (b + c) enthalten, ergeben keinen Walzenbelag. Die Oberfläche der Walzen ist glatt und sauber. Die Note 1 bekam auch die Flotte a). Die Flotte d) bekam jedoch die Note 3 - 4; auf den Walzen waren deutlich Silikonablagerungen zu sehen.The liquors, which contain the mixed products (b + c), do not result in a roller coating. The surface of the rollers is smooth and clean. The fleet a) also received the grade 1. The fleet d), however, received a grade of 3-4; Silicon deposits were clearly visible on the rollers.
