  • An object of the invention is the obtention of washing compositions for textiles, especially fine-wash articles and easy-care textiles containing textile softeners which are substantive and compatible with neutral to alkaline textile washing agents.
  • Another object of the invention is the obtention of detergent compositions containing textile softeners consisting essentially of:
  • the invention is based on the discovery that the handle of the laundered fabrics is improved, if in the detergents or auxiliary used for the laundry in addition to anionic, non-ionic and/or amphoteric surface-active agents, and possibly traditional components of such agents, also reaction products of higher fatty acids with hydroxyalkyl polyamines as textile softeners are present.
  • the detergent compositions of the present invention containing the aforementioned textile softeners comprise:
  • the fatty acid monoamides used as textile softeners are preferably derived from the hydroxyalkyl derivatives of ethylenediamine or diethylenetriamine, such as, for example, hydroxyethylethylenediamine, dihydroxyethylethylenediamine, hydroxyethyldiethylenetriamine, hydroxypropyldiethylenetriamine, etc., that is, from hydroxyalkyl polyamines.
  • Hydroxyalkylpolyamines are understood to mean compounds possessing at least one hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl or dihydroxypropyl group and at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen.
  • the derivatives of N-hydroxyethylethylenediamine are of special practical importance.
  • Such fatty-acid monoamides are obtained by the reaction of 0.5 to 1.1, preferably 0.9 to 1.0 mols of a fatty acid radical in the form of the fatty acid itself or of a fatty acid ester, especially of a lower alkyl ester, with one mol of the hydroxyalkylpolyamine.
  • fatty acid triglycerides which in practice correspond to 3 mols of fatty acid residues, can be used as fatty acid esters.
  • the products may also contain fatty acid residues having 8 to 14 carbon atoms.
  • the textile-softening properties of the fatty acid monoamides present in the products according to the invention are not thereby impaired. It is preferable, how- .ever, as already mentioned, to use fatty acid compounds such that the fatty acid residues of the monoamides consist of at least 50%, preferably at least 80% of those having 16 to 24 carbon atoms.
  • fatty acid glycerides especially fatty acid triglycerides
  • fatty acid partial glycerides may be present in the fatty acid monoamide as associated substances in amounts less than 5% by weight, preferably less than 2.5% of weight of the textile softener.
  • the reaction is carried out simply by heating a melt of hydroxyalkylpolyamine and fatty acid, or fatty acid alkyl ester, or fatty acid glyceride, or a solution of the components in inert, non-polar solvents such as petroleum hydrocarbons, toluene, xylene, etc. of temperatures from to 180 C., preferably to C.
  • the reaction time is up to 25 hours, depending on the temperature and the fatty acid component used. If fatty acids or their lower alkyl esters are the starting materials, a practically complete reaction can then be obtained when from 90% to 95% of the calculated amount of water or alcohol formed has distilled off.
  • fatty acid partial glycerides are practically not contained in the reaction product, or at most in fractions of less than 5% by weight, preferably less than 2.5 by weight.
  • the condensation product used according to the invention therefore preferably contains no fatty acid partial glycerides as impurities.
  • the fatty acid monoamides of hydroxyalkylpolyamines used as textile softeners according to the invention represent the chief product which is obtained in the condensation of fatty acids or fatty acid alkyl esters or fatty acid triglycerides with hydroxyalkylpolyamines in the said molar ratios. If the starting substance in the preparation is, for example, N-hydroxyethylethylenediamine, the N- monoacyl-hydroxy-ethyl-ethylenediamine is obtained as the main product, of which at least 50%, preferably at least 65% is contained in the technical condensation product, and which is regarded as the active agent causing the textile-softening action.
  • the impurities may include fatty acid diamides, fatty acid monoamide esters or diamide esters as byproducts of the condensation. These impurities do not impair the textile-softening action of the fatty acid monoamides, so that the resulting products may be used withoutfurther purification, possibly after removing the solvent, as textile softeners in combination with washing compositions.
  • the technical products used according to the invention are solid or highly viscous liquid substances at normal temperature.
  • the fatty acid monoamides from hydroxyethylethylenediamine and mostly saturated fatty acid residues represent preferred forms of the textile softeners used according to the invention.
  • the degree of saturation of the fatty acid residues is unimportant, but in the compositions according to the invention with preponderantly saturated fatty acid residues (with iodine values below 30, preferably below 10) are preferred on account of their better stability on storage.
  • the fatty acid derivatives used for the preparation of the fatty acid monoamides may be derived, for example, from palmitic, stearic, oleic, arachidic or behenic acids. If fatty acid glycerides, or fats of natural origin are used, those with preferably 16 to 24 carbon atoms in the fatty acid residues are suitable. Provided the glycerides also contain fatty acid residues with 8 to 14 carbon atoms, the fraction of fatty acid residues with 16 to 24 carbon atoms, in the mixed glycerides or glyceride mixtures should amount to at least 50%, preferably at least 80%.
