Definitions

  • acylated alkanolamines which, for example, in K. Lindner's "Tenside-Textile Aid Wash Raw Materials", 2nd Edition, Volume 1, pp. 904 and 993, and in Schwartz-Perry "Surface Active Agents” 1949, Vol. 1, P. 173, contain amide and / or ester groups, depending on the alkanolamines used.
  • Carboxylic acids of natural or synthetic origin are used in their production, e.g. Lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid, oleic acid or their mixtures, e.g. be made from coconut oil, palm kernel oil or tallow, or branched chain acids from oxosynthesis, e.g. Isostearic acid, or its acid chlorides use.
  • Lauric acid and behenic acid are preferably used in the form of their technical qualities.
  • Suitable amines containing hydroxyl groups include monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine, N- (2-aminoethyl) -ethanolamine, 1-aminopropanol and bis- (2-hydroxypropyl) amine.
  • N- (2-Aminoethyl) ethanolamine, monoethanolamine and diethanolamine are preferably used.
  • Preferred compounds B are reaction products of technical stearic acid or behenic acid with 3-amino-1-dimethylamino-propane or 3-amino-1-diethylamino-propane, which are quaternized with dimethyl sulfate or dimethyl phosphite.
  • the quaternization is carried out by conventional methods without a solvent or in a solvent, and in addition to water or ethyl alcohol, the acylated alkanolamines A. can also be used in molten form, provided that they do not contain a tertiary nitrogen atom.
  • Suitable quaternizing agents are: methyl chloride, dimethyl sulfate, dimethyl phosphite or ethylene oxide, in which case the reaction is carried out in sulfuric or phosphoric acid solution.
  • the substances of the two groups of substances A and B can also be prepared in a one-pot process by reacting mixtures of the amines mentioned for both groups with fatty acids and then quaternizing the proportion of tertiary amino groups.
  • Mono- to tetravalent alcohols having 3-20 C atoms, the alkyl chains of which may be interrupted by oxygen, are preferably used to prepare the carboxylic acid esters C.
  • Ethylene oxide adducts of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty amines or alkylphenols can optionally be used to improve solubility.
  • the optimal degree of oxyethylation differs from case to case and can be from 3-50 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of starting substance.
  • aqueous emulsions of Emul Sion polymerization produced dimethylpolysiloxanes with average molecular weights of 1000 to 100,000 can be used.
  • compositions according to the invention can also contain other constituents as are customary in textile auxiliaries. These include protective colloids, perfumes, fungicides or bactericides as well as anti-foaming agents.
  • the mixtures according to the invention are converted into water-containing preparations.
  • the mixtures are heated above the melting point and, with stirring after the appropriate amount of warm water has been added, are stirred homogeneously.
  • liquid stable solutions or emulsions are obtained which preferably contain 10-30% by weight of the textile treatment agents according to the invention.
  • the mixtures can be applied to the textile material by known methods in the exhaust process (reel runner, nozzle-dyeing unit), by padding or by spraying. It is a particular advantage that the textile treatment agents according to the invention can be applied with nozzle-dyeing units.
  • Textile processing processes such as sewing or tufting, place high demands on the textile material with regard to surface smoothness.
  • High needle speeds lead to thermal and mechanical stress on the material to be sewn, which is due to a lack of surfaces smoothness can lead to thread breaks and stitch detonation damage.
  • This disadvantage can be avoided by providing the textile material with a smoothing finish.
  • emulsions or dispersions of paraffinic hydrocarbons or waxes for this purpose.
  • German Offenlegungsschriften 26 21 881, 27 33 493, 28 16 196 and 28 30 173 describe cationic emulsions of paraffin hydrocarbons, cationic surfactants serving as emulsifiers.
  • DE-OS 30 03 851 describes dispersions of oxidized waxes, while DE-OS 25 35 768 uses dispersions of polysiloxanes and hydrocarbons or fluorine-containing polymers to achieve high surface smoothness. It is also known to use fatty acid esters as lubricants together with paraffin hydrocarbons.
  • the agents according to the invention are excellent plasticizers and smoothing agents for textile materials of all kinds.
  • Table 1 shows the molar amounts of the components used for the preparation of the acylated alkanolamines A and the acid numbers as they were obtained after the reaction under reduced pressure and elevated temperature.
  • Table 2 shows the molar ratio in which the individual components for the production of the basic fatty acid amides or fatty acid esters were used, which serve as starting products for the production of the quaternary ammonium salts.
  • the last line shows the acid numbers obtained when the components reacted at elevated temperature and pressure.
  • Table 3 gives an overview of the production of the quaternary ammonium salts used.
  • the following components are mixed to produce the textile treatment agents according to the invention:
  • the figures given are percentages by weight.
  • the components are heated to 80 ° C, stirred and made 20% by adding 80 ° C warm water. After homogeneous stirring, the mixtures are cooled to room temperature with stirring. Liquid, cream-colored formations form which can be easily diluted to the concentration intended for use in practice by adding warm water.
  • Part of the material was dried at 80 ° C, steamed twice for 10 seconds at 120 ° C and at 23 ° C u. 65% rel. Conditioned moisture.
  • Another part of the finished material was steamed twice at 120 ° C for 10 seconds after drying at 80 ° C, then fixed at 170 ° C for a further 20 seconds and then at 23 ° C and 65% rel. Conditioned moisture.
  • the fabric sections were then stretched in a stenter under an elongation of 88% and the number of stitch blasting damage over a seam length of 80 cm was determined in the backlight.
  • Table 6 shows the determined test data in comparison to an untreated product.
  • the product T 2 was used according to the following recipe: cotton interlock, reactive-dyed black.
  • Nozzle dyeing apparatus "Surfer”, from ESPA Fleet ratio 1:12 Concentration 4% based on the weight of the goods 20 min at 40 ° C, acetic acid pH 5 After spinning, it was dried at 80-100 ° C and steamed with saturated steam.
