Polyaralkylated hydroxybenzamides, process for their preparation and their use

A polyaralkylated hydroxybenzamide of the formula ##STR11## in which n is an integer from 1 to 10 and

• y is an integer from 1 to 4, with the proviso that the product n.multidot.y has a maximum value of 20,
• R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of each other are hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl,
• R.sup.3 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, O-C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkoxycarbonyl, haloen, carboxyl, carboxamide, sulpho, sulphonate or amino,
• R.sup.4 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 aralkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkylcarbonyl,
• R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 independently of each other are hydrogen, hydroxyl, halogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, A and B are identical or different and denote hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.18 -aralkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.15 aryl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkylcarbonyl or are a group of the formula ##STR12## in which R.sup.7 to R.sup.11 independently of each other denote hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.18 -aralkyl or C.sub.6 -C.sub.15 -aryl,
• X.sup.- is anion,
• m is a number from 2 to 8 and
• p is a number from 1 to 50.
