- the active substances in fabric softening formulations are "esterquats", quaternary ammonium compounds having two hydrophobic radicals, such as, for example, disteryldimethylammonium chloride, which, however, due to its insufficient biodegradability, is increasingly being replaced by quaternary ammonium compounds which contain ester groups as predetermined breaking points in their hydrophobic residues contain the biodegradation.
- Such "esterquats" with improved biodegradability can be obtained, for example, by esterifying mixtures of methyldiethanolamine and / or triethanolamine with fatty acids and then quaternizing the reaction products with alkylating agents in a manner known per se. Further suitable as a finish is dimethylolethyleneurea.
