Description
SOFTENER FOR FIBERS
The present invention relates to a softener. More particularly, the present invention relates to a liquid softener having excellent fluidity and stability and capable of softening fibers of various types.
Most domestic softeners now available on the market comprise a quaternary ammonium salt having one or two longchain alkyl groups in the molecule as the main component, since the quaternary ammonium salt exhibits an excellent softening effect on the fibers even when used in only a small amount.
Though most domestic softeners are in liquid form so that they can be handled easily, 'the quaternary ammonium salt has only a poor solubility in water and, therefore, it tends to gel in high-concentration aqueous solutions and no stable, low-viscosity composition can be obtained.
Efforts have been made to obtain a stable, low-viscosity composition by adding, for example, a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant such as a mono(long-chain alkyl) quaternary ammonium salt, a solvent or an inorganic salt.
However, these processes were insufficient for achieving satisfactory shelf life at temperatures over a wide range or recovery after freezing.
Further the above-mentioned quaternary ammonium salts have an insufficient softening effect on synthetic fibers such as acrylic, polyester and polyamide fibers, though their effect on cotton fibers is remarkably good. In addition, when the above-mentioned dispersion stabilizer is added, their softening effect is often impaired.
Although the use of a combination of a quaternary ammonium salt with a glyceride is described in Japanese Patent
Publication No.47384/1985 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
194274/1986, it has neither a sufficient softening effect on all sorts of fibers nor excellent dispersion stability unlike the softener of the present invention.
After intensive investigations made for the purpose of
overcoming the above-described defects, the inventors have
completed the present invention.
According to the present invention a softener composition
comprises the following components (A), (B) and (C):
(A) a quaternary ammonium salt having in the molecule one or two alkyl, alkenyl or ss -hydroxy alkyl groups each having 1Q to 24 carbon atoms:
(B) a polyamide compound having a residue of a fatty
acid having 12 to 24 carbon atoms or a cationic polyamide
compound prepared by neutralising said polyamide compound
- with an acid; and
(C) an ester derived from a fatty acid having 10 to
24 carbon atoms and glycerol;
the weight ratio of (B) and (A) being 0.02 to 5, that of (C)
to (A) being 0.01 to 3 and the sum total of (A), (B) and (C)
being 3 to 25 wt. %.
- Anexcellent softening effect is attained by the synergistic
effect of the three components, i.e. quaternary ammonium salt, glyceride and polyamide.
The quaternary ammonium salt (A) used in the present
invention includes, for examplo, ammonium, imidazolinium and amidoammonium salts each having one or two alkyl, alkenyl and/or 6-hydroxyalkyl groups each having 10 to 24 carbon atoms and represented by the following general formulae (1) to (5). They can be used either alone or in the form of a mixture of two or more of them.
i) Ammonium salts of the following formula (1) or
(2):
ii) Imidazolinium salts of the following formula (3):
iii) Amidoammonium salts of the following formula
(4) or (5):
in which R1, R2, R6 and R7 each represent an
alkyl, alkenyl or ss-hydroxyalkyl group each
having 10 to 24 carbon atoms, R3, R4 and R5
each represent an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group
each having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a benzyl
group or a -(-C2H4-)n-H group (wherein n is
1 to 3), m represents a number of 2 or 3 and
X represents a halogen or a monoalkyl sulfate
group having an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon
atoms.
- The quaternary ammonium salt (A) includes, for ~example, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride,
hexadecyldimethylethylammonium bromide, octadecyl
trimethylammonium chloride, didodecyldimethylammonium
chloride, dihexadecyldimethylammonium chloride,
dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride, di(hydrogenated beef tallow alkyl)dimethylammonium chloride, di(hardened palm oil alkyl)dimethylammonium chloride, bis(B- hydroxystearyl)diethylammonium chloride, 2-heptadecyl l-methyl-l- [ (2-octadecanoylamino) ethyl) imidazolinium methyl sulfate, di[(2-dodecanoylamino)ethyl]dimethylammonium methyl sulfate and di[(2-octadecanoylamino)ethyl]methylethylammonium ethyl sulfate. They may be used either alone or in the form of a mixture of two or more of them.
Among them, quaternary ammonium compounds of the formula (1) or (2) are preferred. Particularly those of the formula (1) are preferred.
The polyamide compound (B) used in the present invention includes, for example, a mixture of compounds prepared by the following process.
1 mol of diethylenetriamine or dipropylenetriamine is reacted with about 2 mol of a fatty acid having 12 to 24 carbon atoms at a reaction temperature in the range of 100 to 1600C until the condensate having an acid value of 10 or less is obtained. Then about 1 to 2 mol of epichlorohydrin is added dropwise thereto while the condensate is kept at 100 to 1600C to form an adduct practically in a moment. The adduct is cooled to about 60 to 1000C and 0.05 to 1 mol of an alkali is added thereto to conduct ring-opening polymerization.
The fatty acids having 12 to 24 carbon atoms prepared by this reaction include lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic, behenic and lignoceric acids as well as those drived from non-hardened or hardened beef tallow, palm oil, rape oil and fish oil. Although the alkali used in the ring-opening polymerization of the epichlorohydrin adduct is not particularly limited, it is preferably an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
The ring-opening polymerization product of the polyamide compound may be neutralized with a suitable acid.
In the neutralization, 0.3 to 1.5 mol of an acid is ,used per mol of the amine. The acids include, for example, mineral acids such as hydrochloric and nitric acids, and monobasic acids having 2 or 3 carbon atoms such as acetic, propionic and glycolic acids.
The petails ofthe process for the preparation of the polyamide compounds used in the present invention will be understood from Referential 'Examples described below.
The glyceride (C) used in the present invention is a monoester or diester derived from a straight chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated fatty acid having 10 to 24 carbon atoms and glycerol or from an oil or a fat comprising the above fatty acid as the constituent, or a mixture of a monoester and a diester or a mixture thereof with a triester. When the mixture is used, preferably it has a monoester content of at least 85 wt. %. When the monoester content is below 85 wt. %, no softener composition having sufficient softening effect and dispersion stability can be obtained. The glyceride of the present invention includes, for example, esters of glycerol with capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, oleic, stearic, isostearic, arachidic, behenic or lignoceric acid as well as those obtained by fractionation from non-hardened or hardened beef tallow, lard, palm oil, rape oil and fish oil. They are used either singly or in the form of a mixture of them. Particularly preferred are those obtained by fractionation from natural oils or fats such as hardened lard oil, hardened palm oil, hardened rape oil and hardened beef tallow.
The quaternary ammonium salt (A), polyamide compound (B) and glyceride (C) are used as the indispensable components in the present invention.
The weight ratio of the component (B) to the component (A) [(B)/(A)] is 0.02 to 5, preferably 0.05 to 1 and that of the component (C) to the component (A) [(C)/(A) is 0.01 to 3, preferably 0.05 to 1.
When the ratios of the components are outside these ranges, no excellent dispersion stability can be obtained and the softening effect is insufficient.
In due consideration of the current conditions of domestic use of the softener, the sum total of the components (A), (B) and (C) in the softener of the present invention in liquid form is at least 3 wt. % from the viewpoint of the softening and antistatic effects and at most 25 ,wt. % from the viewpoints of the viscosity of the liquid composition, storage stability and economy.
When the softener component (A), (B) or (C) is used singly, or a mixture of the components (A) and (B), (B) and (C) or (A) and (C) is used in amounts described above, it is difficult to obtain a softener composition having excellent shelf stability and viscosity stability. On the contrary, the softener of the present invention comprising the components (A), (B) and (C) in 'amounts within the above-described ranges have excellent shelf'stability and viscosity stability and is capable of exerting excellent softening and antistatic effects on all of cotton fibers, blended fibers and synthetic fibers.
The softener of the present invention comprising the quaternary ammonium salt (A), polyamide compound (B) and glyceride (C) as indispensable components can further contain, when it is in liquid form, nonionic surfactants such as polyethylene glycol, water-soluble salts such as common salt or ammonium chloride, solvents such as propylene glycol or ethylene glycol and urea in order to improve the shelf stability and to adjust the viscosity.
Further, a pigment or a dye can be incorporated in the softener in order to improve the appearance thereof, a fluorescent brightener can be incorporated therein to whiten the fibers and a flavor can be incorporated therein to enjoy the smell in the course of and after the softening treatment.
[Effect of the invention]
The softener of the present invention imparts sufficient softness and antistatic property to various fibers and has excellent shelf stability at various temperatures and recovery after freezing.
[Examples)
The following Examples will further illustrate the present invention, which by no means limit the invention.
The following Referential Examples will illustrate the processes for preparing the polyamide compounds used in the present invention.
Referential Example 1
52 g of diethylenetriamine was added to 280 g of stearic acid and the mixture was heated at 120 to 140"C for 4 h. During this step, about 15 g of water distilled. The mixture was further heated at 140 to 1500C for 6 h to obtain a condensate having an acid value of 5.9. 69 g of epichlorohydrin was added dropwise thereto at that temperature. The mixture was cooled to 80eC. 165 g of isopropyl alcohol and 13 g of a 30 % aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were added thereto and the reaction was conducted for 6 h to obtain a polyamide compound.
Then 70 % aqueous glycolic acid was added thereto in such an amount that the molar ratio thereof to diethylenetriamine would be 1:1 to obtain a neutralized product. The physical properties of the non-neutralized product and the neutralized one are shown in Table 1.

The reaction was conducted in the same manner as that of Referential Example 1 except that stearic acid was roplaced with 350 g of behenic acid and glycolic acid was replaced with hydroxyacetic acid to obtain non-neutralized and neutralized polyamide compounds.
The molar ratio of the starting materials were: diethylenetriamne/fatty acid/epichlorohydrin/sodium hydroxide/hydroxyacetic acid = 1/2/1.5/0.2/1.2.
Referential Examples 3 to 6
The same procedure as that of Referential Example 1 was repeated except t-hat various starting materials were used and the molar ratio of them was altered to obtain non-neutralized and neutralized products.
The starting materials and the molar ratio of them are shown in Table 2.

The sum total of (A), (B) and (C) was 5 wt. %, the amount of water was the balance, the ratio of (B) to (A) was 0 to 10 (see Table 3) and the ratio of (C) to (A) was 0 to 10 (see Table 3).
The viscosity of the above-mentioned composition immediately after the preparation, that of the composition after freezing at -200C followed by thawing, and softening effect thereof on various fibers were examined to obtain the results shown in
Tables 3 and 4, respectively.
The viscosity was determined with a BM viscometer at 300C and the recovery after freezing was determined by repeating freezing at -200C followed by leaving to stand at 300C td effect thawing five times. The recovery after freezing was not examined when the composition had a high viscosity immediately after the preparation thereof or when the composition was a gel or phase separation was observed therein.
The softening effect was evaluated as follows: (1) softening method:
Commercially available cotton towels and acrylic jersey clothes were washed with a commercially available detergent tabu" (registered trademark of
Kao Corporation) repeatedly five times to remove treatments from them. They were then stirred in a 0.067 % solution of the above-mentioned composition in hard water (3.50DH) at a bath ratio of 1/30 at 250C for 5 min.
(2) Evaluation -method:
The towels and clothes treated as described above were air-dried in a room and then left to stand in an air-conditioned room at 250C and 65 % RH for 24 h.
The softness of them was evaluated by a paired comparison with a cloth treated with a softener comprising 5 wt. % of a di(hydrogenated beef tallow alkyl)dimethylammonium chloride as the control. The criteria were as follows:
+2: The sample was softer than the control.
+1: The sample was a little softer than the
control
0: The sample was as soft as the control -1: The control was a little softer than the sample.
-2: The control was softer than the sample.

Even when distearyldimethylammonium chloride is used in combination with the glyceride, no stable liquid product can be obtained, since it has too high a viscosity or eventually gels, or otherwise it causes phase separation.When the polyamide compound is incorporated therein, a liquid product of a lower viscosity can be obtained and it has an excellent viscosity recovery after freezing.
Even when the products having an excellent initial dispersibility was left to stand in a constanttemperature bath at 50eC for 4 weeks, neither phase separation nor viscosity change was observed.
Table 4 indicates that when distearyldimethylammonium chloride is used in combination with the polyamide compound and glyceride, a synergistic softening effect on both cotton and synthetic fibers can be exhibited.
