Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fabric softeners in the form of aqueous solutions, emulsions or dispersions.
  • Cationic compounds are usually used as fabric softeners, for example quaternary ammonium compounds which, in addition to long-chain alkyl radicals, can also contain ester or amide groups. Mixtures of various plasticizing components which are added to the rinsing bath in the form of aqueous dispersions are also advantageously used.
  • Backwetting capacity is generally understood to mean the absorption of moisture by the fiber. Poor network assets have a negative impact where larger amounts of moisture are to be absorbed from the skin surface by textile fabrics, e.g. B. with hand or bath towels as well as underwear or bed linen.
  • fabric softening agents consisting of ammonium compounds containing ester groups and a liquid carrier material meet these requirements.
  • the polyoxyalkylene alcohols are prepared by adding an alkylene oxide, essentially propylene oxide, ethylene oxide or a mixture of both, using a conventional method to a compound containing one or more active hydrogen atoms or by polymerizing alkylene oxides.
  • Monoalcohols such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, lauryl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, but especially methanol or glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, polyglycerol, polyvinyl alcohols can be used as compounds which contain one or more active hydrogen atoms.
  • the polyoxyalkylene alcohols have molecular weights in the range from approximately 100 to 10,000, preferably approximately 130 to 5000 and particularly preferably approximately 150 to 2000.
  • the further conversion to the amines is carried out according to methods known per se by aminolysis of the free hydroxyl groups or their esters, in particular the sulfuric acid esters.
  • the OH group is replaced by the amino group by means of homogeneous, but in particular heterogeneous, catalysis on fixed contacts.
  • two methods are available here. The one works with dehydrating, the other with hydrodehydrogenating catalysts.
  • the compounds of formula (2) are then alkoxylated by methods known per se, i.e. H. preferably ethoxylated or propoxylated.
  • the procedure is such that the amines in a pressure reactor at 120-160.degree. C., optionally in the presence of basic, in particular alkaline, catalysts at 1-4 bar with an amount of alkylene oxide corresponding to the desired degree of alkoxylation; ethylene oxide and propylene oxide are preferred according to the invention or their mixtures, reacted.
  • the fatty acids for the esterification or the transesterification are the monobasic synthetic fatty acids known and customary in this field, but in particular the fatty acids based on natural vegetable and animal oils with 6-22 C atoms, in particular with 8-18 C atoms, such as coconut fatty acids, palm, tallow, castor fatty acids. These can be used both as glycerides, as esters with short-chain alcohols or as free acids.
  • the alkanolamines of the formula (4) are reacted with an amount of fatty acid or fatty acid ester corresponding to the desired degree of esterification, optionally in the presence of a catalyst, at 160-240 ° C. and the water of reaction or the alcohol formed is distilled off continuously, to complete the If necessary, a negative pressure is applied.
  • the salts are generally prepared by adding the acids, if appropriate as aqueous or alcoholic solutions in an amount corresponding to the desired degree of salt formation, to the poly (oxyalkylene) alkanolamine esters at 20 ° -80 ° C. and, if necessary with stirring, in portions with cooling.
  • the quaternization is carried out in accordance with the generally known processes, the poly (oxyalkylene) alkanolamine esters, optionally with the use of a solvent, being heated to 40-80 ° C. and the quaternizing agent being added in portions in an amount corresponding to the desired degree of quaternization.
  • the anions Cl ⁇ , SO42 ⁇ , and or where several anions can also be present side by side and are added in an amount such that the resulting pH of the total mixture of a 30% mixture is between 2-6, preferably 3-5.
  • the compounds of the general formula (1) which are also used according to the invention can be used alone or as mixtures, the triester of the general formula (1) being predominantly in dispersions, the diesters of the - depending on the structure of the compounds of the general formula (3) general formula (1) can be converted into solutions.
  • these solutions are quaternized even without the use of conventional ammonium salts
  • Ammonium compounds and other auxiliaries and additives customary in this field give the textiles treated with them, in addition to a soft feel, an excellent rewetting capacity.
  • the diester compounds are prepared by simply dissolving in cold or accelerated in heated water, as described, the triester compounds are emulsified or dispersed by the known processes, with the customary equipment and the known auxiliaries and additives also being used.
  • the compounds according to the invention can also be used at room temperature (20-25 ° C.) be incorporated. With thorough stirring, the dye solution, then the antifoam emulsion that may be required and finally the individual plasticizers are dispersed in succession or in a mixture. After adding a portion of an electrolyte solution (if necessary), perfume oil is added, followed by the remaining amount of the electrolyte solution. According to the invention, work is preferably carried out without the addition of electrolyte solutions.
  • the customary auxiliaries and additives can also be used to produce the fabric softener according to the invention.
  • fabric softeners By combining the components according to general formula (1) and optionally the commercially available quaternary ammonium compounds and optionally auxiliaries, fabric softeners can be produced which are clearly soluble in water or have good emulsifying or dispersing properties and give textile materials, in particular those made from natural and regenerated cellulose, as well as wool and terry cloth, an improved softness and an improved rewetting capacity.
  • the fabric softeners according to the invention are therefore used in particular where larger amounts of moisture and moisture are to be removed from the body surface within a short time, such as in the case of hand towels or bath towels.
  • the fabric softeners according to the invention can also be used successfully where moisture has to be absorbed directly by the skin within a relatively long period of time, such as for bedclothes or bed linen.
  • the fabric softeners according to the invention are added after the actual washing process in the last rinse cycle.
  • the application concentration is in the range of 0.1 - 10 g of fabric softener per liter of treatment liquor, depending on the area of application.
  • GAZ Total amine number
  • TEZ tertiary amine number
  • the total amine number indicates the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide equivalent to the total amine basicity of 1 g of the amine compound (mg KOH / g).
  • the tertiary amine number indicates the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide equivalent to the tertiary amine basicity of 1 g of the amine compound.
  • the saponification number is a measure of the free and bound acids contained in fats and technical fatty acids. It indicates the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to saponify 1 gram of fat or technical fatty acids (mg KOH / g).
  • DGF German Society for Fat Chemistry
  • the hydroxyl number is used to determine the hydroxyl group content and indicates the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the acetic acid consumed by 1 gram of fat in acetylation (mg KOH / g).
