Quaternized epichlorohydrin adducts of perfluoro substituted ethanols

Abstract

A composition represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein x is an integer of from 2-12; y is an integer or fractional integer of from 1-20; Q is chosen from the group consisting of: (a) chloro, bromo, and iodo halogen radicals, and (b) a cationic nitrolgen radical represented by the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals which contain from 1-30 carbon atoms and are further selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, alkaryl and cyclo aliphatic radicals, with the proviso that when any of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 exceed four carbon atoms, the other two hydrocarbon radicals are each chosen from the group consisting of ethyl and methyl hydrocarbon radicals; Z is a halogen anion chosen from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, and iodide with the further proviso that at least 50% of the radicals represented by Q are (b) radicals.
