Abstract
Tertiary amides useful as low-foam wetting agents in the textile industry have the formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is straight-chain or branched C.sub.5 -C.sub.17 -alkyl or -alkenyl, R.sup.2 is straight-chain or branched C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each independently of the others hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and n is from 3 to 15.
Claims7
A process for manufacturing and finishing textiles, which comprises using tertiary amides of the general formula ##STR9## where R.sup.1 is straight-chain or branched C.sub.5 -C.sub.17 -alkyl or -alkenyl,
- R.sup.2 is straight-chain or branched C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -alkyl,
- R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each independently of the others hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and
- n is from 3 to 15,
- as low-foam wetting agents.
Tertiary amides of the general formula Ia ##STR10## where R.sup.1 is straight-chain or branched C.sub.5 -C.sub.17 -alkyl or -alkenyl,
- R.sup.3 to R.sup.5 are independently of one another hydrogen, methyl or ethyl,
- R.sup.6 is n-butyl, n-pentyl or straight-chain or branched C.sub.6 -alkyl, and
- n is from 3 to 5.
Tertiary amides of the general formula Ib ##STR11## where R.sup.2 is straight-chain or branched C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -alkyl,
- R.sup.3 to R.sup.5 are independently of one another hydrogen, methyl or ethyl,
- R.sup.7 is the radical of nonanoic or isononanoic acid, and
- n is from 3 to 5.
