Claims
- 1. An odor-stable composition for coating a flexible textile sheet for the treatment of moist wash in a mechanical clothes drier consisting essentially of an active softening composition selected from the group consisting of:
- (1) mixtures of cationic quaternary nitrogen compounds having at least one alkyl group having 8 to 26 carbon atoms with small amounts of scenting agents,
- (2) mixtures of said quaternary nitrogen compounds with small amounts of scenting agents, with up to an equal part by weight of nonionic surface-active compounds, and
- (3) mixtures of either of components (1) and (2) above wherein part of said quaternary nitrogen compound has been replaced by the condensation products of the condensation of 1 mol of a higher fatty acid triglyceride with a mol of a hydroxy-lower alkyl-loweralkylenediamine or a hydroxy-lower alkylpolyloweralkylene polyamine, in a ratio by weight of from 4:1 to 1:4 of quaternary nitrogen compounds to condensation products,
- wherein said composition contains from 0.2% to 3% by weight of at least one acid selected from the group consisting of hydroxy-lower alkane-carboxylic acid having from 1 to 2 hydroxyls and from 1 to 3 carboxyls, as well as none or from 0.05% to 1% by weight of at least one optical brightener, both based on the total weight of said active softening composition.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said hydroxy-lower alkane-carboxylic acid is a member selected from the group consisting of malic acid, tartaric acid, tartronic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid and mixtures thereof.
- 3. The composition of claim 2 wherein said hydroxy-lower alkane-carboxylic acid is a member selected from the group consisting of lactic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid and mixtures thereof.
- 4. The composition of claim 3 wherein said hydroxy-lower alkane-carboxylic acid is citric acid.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said quaternary nitrogen compounds are ditallow alkyldimethylammonium salts.
- 6. The composition of claim 5 wherein said salts are selected from the group consisting of the chloride and the methosulfate.
- 7. The composition of claim 1 wherein said active textile softening and antistatic substances are said mixtures of said quaternary nitrogen compounds with said condensation product in a weight ratio of 4:1 to 1:4.
- 8. The composition of claim 7 wherein said higher fatty acid ester is a triglyceride.
- 9. The composition of claim 7 wherein said hydroxy-lower alkylpolyamine is hydroxyethylethylenediamine.
- 10. The composition of claim 7 wherein said condensation product is a condensate of 1 mol of a hardened tallow fatty acid triglyceride and 1 mol of hydroxyethylethylenediamine.
- 11. The composition of claim 1 wherein said quaternary nitrogen compounds are in admixture with said nonionic surface-active compounds.
- 12. The composition of claim 11 wherein said nonionic surface-active compounds are present in an amount of from 5% to 60% by weight and are ethoxylated alcohols selected from the group consisting of higher alkanols and alkylphenols having from 8 to 18 carbons in the alkyl.
- 13. The composition of claim 1 wherein said at least one optical brightener is present and is an optical brightener for cotton.
- 14. An odor-stable composition for coating a flexible textile sheet for the treatment of moist wash in a mechanical clothes drier consisting essentially of an active softening composition selected from the group consisting of:
- (1) mixtures of cationic quaternary nitrogen compounds having at least one alkyl group having 8 to 26 carbon atoms with small amounts of scenting agents,
- (2) mixtures of said quaternary nitrogen compounds with small amounts of scenting agents, with up to an equal part by weight of nonionic surface-active compounds, and
- (3) mixtures of either of components (1) and (2) above wherein part of said quaternary nitrogen compound has been replaced by the condensation products of the condensation of 1 mol of a higher fatty acid triglyceride with a mol of a hydroxy-lower alkyl-loweralkylenediamine or a hydroxy-lower alkylpolyloweralkylene polyamine, in a ratio by weight of from 4:1 to 1:4 of quaternary nitrogen compounds to condensation products,
- wherein said composition contains from 1% to 3% by weight of at least one acid selected from the group consisting of hydroxy-lower alkane-carboxylic acid having from 1 to 2 hydroxyls and from 1 to 3 carboxyls, as well as none or from 0.05% to 1% by weight of at least one optical brightener, both based on the total weight of said active softening composition.
