• Example 1 18 was applied as dispersions to textiles at 60 g/L, and tested according to the test methods described above.
• Examples 1 19 and 120 follow the procedure of Example 65, using DESMODUR N-100 isocyanate, sorbitan tristearate, and lauric acid as described in Table 20.
• the lauric acid was added to the reaction after the initial compound of Formula (la) and isocyanate had reacted for 6 hours, and the reaction mixture was heated at 80 °C overnight.
• Examples 1 19 and 120 were applied as dispersions to textiles at 100 g/L, and tested according to the test methods described above.
• Examples 121 to 124 follow the procedure of Example 65, using DESMODUR N-100 isocyanate, sorbitan tristearate, and an additional reagent as described in Table 22. The additional reagent was added to the reaction after the sorbitan tristearate and isocyanate had reacted for 6 hours, and the reaction mixture was heated at 80 °C overnight. Examples 121 to 124 were applied as dispersions to textiles at 60 g/L, and tested according to the test methods described above.
• Examples 125 to 131 follow the procedure of Example 65, using DESMODUR N-100 isocyanate, sorbitan tristearate, and an additional reagent as described in Table 24. The additional reagent was added to the reaction after the sorbitan tristearate and isocyanate had reacted for 6 hours, and the reaction mixture was heated at 80 °C overnight. For examples 130 to 132, sodium carbonate (0.075 g) was included during the reaction of isocyanate and sorbitan tristearate. Examples 125 to 131 were applied as dispersions to textiles at 60 g/L (Examples 125 to 128) or 100 g/L (Examples 129 to 131 ), and tested according to the test methods described above.
• Example 132 follows the procedures of Examples 1 (compounds) and Example 2 (dispersions), using DESMODUR N-3300 isocyanate, two compounds of Formula (la), and a C18 diglyceride as described in Table 24.
• the C18 diglyceride and sorbitan monostearate were added to the reaction after the initial compound of Formula (la) and isocyanate had reacted for 1 hour, and the reaction mixture was heated at 80 °C for an additional four hours.
• Example 132 were applied as dispersions to textiles at 60 g/L, and tested according to the test methods described above.
