Abstract
Softener-antistatic compositions which are effective when added to a laundry wash cycle are water insoluble organic salts of a corboxylate anion containing a hydrocarbyl moiety with at least 10 carbon atoms and a quaternary ammonium cation containing two hydrocarbyl moieties with at least 12 carbon atoms each.
Claims13
A laundry softener-antistatic composition which is a water insoluble organic salt of carboxylate anions and quaternary ammonium cations of the structure ##STR10## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms and may be the same or different, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are methyl, ethyl, or propyl;
- R.sub.5 is
- (a) straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl containing 10 to 22 carbon atoms, or ##STR11## wherein n +m is about 7 to 19, or ##STR12## wherein R.sub.6 is straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl containing 10 to 26 carbon atoms;
- Y is O, NH, or S, and Z is --CH.dbd.CH--, --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, ##STR13## wherein X is O or NH, R.sub.7 is straight or branched chain alkenyl or alkyl containing 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and R.sub.8 is straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl containing 10 to 22 carbon atoms;
- or ##STR14## wherein R.sub.9 is straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl containing 11 to 21 carbon atoms;
- R.sub.10 is methyl, ethyl, or propyl;
- and R.sub.5 is as described above.
