Abstract
Homogeneous liquid cationic compositions are produced by combining one or more cationic agents with one or more compounds of the formula HO(X--O).sub.x --R--(O--Y).sub.y --OH wherein each X is ethylene, straight or branched propylene, or straight or branched butylene; x is 0 to 40; each Y is ethylene, straight or branched propylene, or straight or branched butylene; y is 0 to 40; the sum of (x+y) is 0 to 40; and R is saturated straight, branched or cyclic alkylene containing 4 to 12 carbon atoms or, if (x=y=0), R contains 7 to 12 carbon atoms. Compositions are easily dispersed in water, even at room temperature, at any concentration and can be made to form clear or translucent products having a desirable uniform appearance, by appropriate selection of components and their amounts.
