Abstract

A quaternary ammonium composition is claimed which essentially consists of a) a cationic compound with general formula (I) wherein R1 is C8-C22-alkenyl, C8-C22-alkylamidopropyl, C8-C22 alkenyl-amidopropyl, C8-C22-alkyl/alkenyl(poly)alkoxyalkyl, C8-C22-alkanoylethyl or C8-C22-alkenoylethyl, R2, R3 and R4 are C1-C22-alkyl, C2-C22-alkenyl or a group of the formula -A-(OA)n, —OH, A is —C2H4— and/or —C3H6—, n is a number from 0 to 20 and X is an anion, b) water and c) a non-ionic solvent of the general formula R—O-(AO)nH, where R is hydrogen, alkyl or alkenyl containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms, or phenyl, A is C2H4 and/or C3H6, and n is a number from 0 to 20, which composition is characterized in that it contains less than 20% by weight of water.

A quaternary ammonium composition consisting essentially of

a) a cationic compound with general formula:
wherein R1 is C8-C22-alkyl, C8-C22-alkenyl, C8-C22-alkylamidopropyl, C8-C22-alkenyl-amidopropyl, C8-C22-alkyl/alkenyl(poly)alkoxyalkyl, C8-C22-alkanoylethyl or C8-C22-alkenoylethyl, R2, R3 and R4 are C1-C22-alkyl, C2-C22-alkenyl or a group of the formula -A-(OA)n—OH, A is —C2H4— and/or —C3H6—, n is a number from 0 to 20 and X is an anion,
b) less than 20% by weight of water based on said composition and
c) a non-ionic solvent selected from the group consisting of an alcohol or an ethoxylated alcohol with the general formula R—O-(AO)nH, where R is alkyl or alkenyl group containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms, A is C2H4 or C3H6 and mixtures thereof, and n is a number from 0 to 20, nonylphenol or ethoxylated nonylphenol with the general formula C9H19-phenyl-O-(AO)nH, where A and n are as defined above, and mixtures thereof.
