Multifunctional textile auxiliary formulations

A multifunctional textile auxiliary formulation, comprising

• (a) 10 to 60% by weight of a nonionic surfactant of formula
• (b) 10 to 60% by weight of the reaction product of one or more than one nonionic surfactant of formula
• and an ethylenically unsaturated sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid or the anhydride thereof,
• (c) 4 to 20% by weight of a hydrotropic agent selected from the group consisting of
• (c1) aromatic alcohols of formula
• wherein
• X1 is —(CH2)1-6—, —CH═CH—CH2— or —O—(CH2)2-6—, and
• R8, R9 and R10 are each independently of one another hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen or
• C1-C8alkoxy;
• (c2) alkyl sulfates of formula
• R11O—SO3X2, (7)
• wherein
• R11 is an aliphatic saturated, branched or straight-chain radical of 4 to 24 carbon atoms, and

• and
• (c3) amphoteric surfactants selected from the group consisting of sodium lauriniminodipropionate, dihydroxyethyl-tallow fatty glycinate, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, disodium capryloamphodiacetate, disodium dicarboxyethylcocopropylenediamine or tallow fatty amphopolycarboxyglycinate;
• (e) 2.4 to 8% by weight of a magnesium salt of an organic carboxylic acid,
• (f) 7.8 to 30% by weight of a chelating agent or sequestrant;
• and
• (h) 0 to 60% of water
• in which formulae (1) and (2) above
• R1 and R2 are each independently of the other C8-C22alkyl or C8-C22 alkenyl,
• R3 is hydrogen, C1-C4alkyl, a cycloaliphatic radical comprising at least 6 carbon atoms or benzyl,
• “Alkylene” denotes an alkylene radical comprising 2 to 4 carbon atoms,
• m1 is an integer from 1 to 40 and
• n1 is an integer from 1 to 60.
