Abstract
Water-dilutable, amphoteric-surfactant-containing wax compositions (P) comprising as wax (W) an oxidized and optionally partially saponified hydrocarbon wax or a mixture of such waxes and as surfactant (A.sub.1) at least one amphoteric surfactant that contains one polyethyleneglycolether chain and optionally further surfactants and additions, are excellently suitable as softeners of high hydrophilicity, which are highly compatible with optical brighteners and synthetic resin finishes.
Claims24
A water-dilutable wax composition comprising
- a wax
- (W) which is an oxidized and optionally partially saponified hydrocarbon wax or a mixture of such waxes
- and a surfactant
- (A.sub.1) which is at least one amphoteric surfactant that contains a polyethylene-glycolether chain.
An amphoteric surfactant mixture comprising at least one amphoteric surfactant that contains a polyethylene glycol ether chain (A.sub.1), and at least one monocationic amphoteric surfactant, which is free of polyethylene glycol ether chains and contains at least one lipophilic radical (A').
An amphoteric surfactant mixture comprising at least one amphoteric surfactant that contains a polyethylene glycol ether chain (A.sub.1) and at least one amphoteric surfactant having a generic betaine structure that contains no polyethylene glycol ether chains (A).sub.2.
An amphoteric surfactant mixture comprising at least one amphoteric surfactant that contains a polyethylene glycol ether chain (A.sub.1), and at least one non-quarternary amphoteric surfactant that contains no polyethylene glycol ether chain (A.sub.3).
The process for the production of a polyethyleneglycolether- containing amphoteric surfactant, wherein a mixture of polyglycolether-chain-containing and polyglycolether-chain-free surfactants, which contain each an optionally protonated basic amino group, are reacted with reactants capable of introducing anionic groups.
