Abstract
The present invention provides a softener composition which contains a softening base having an excellent softening effect and satisfactory biodegradability. That is, the present invention provides the softener composition which comprises (A) a nonionic compound which has at least one C5-36 alkyl or alkenyl group and an amide bond but contains no dissociative group of amino or carboxyl group; and (B) at least one member selected among (B-α) cationic or ampholytic surfactants having one C5-36 alkyl or alkenyl group or one optionally substituted aryl group and (B-β) amino compounds having at least one C5-36 alkyl or alkenyl group and salts of the compounds.
Claims18
A softener composition comprising:
- (A) a nonionic compound represented by the following formula (Ia) or (Id), or a mixture thereof:
- wherein each R1 represents a linear or branched C7-17 alkyl or alkenyl group;
- (B) an amino compound having one C8-18 alkyl or alkenyl group and salts of the compound into which an ester-, amide- or ether- bonding group is optionally inserted;
- and
- (C) water;
- wherein said softener composition has a pH of 2 to 5;
- and
- the ratio of the component (A) to (B) is from 1/4 to 4/1 by weight.
A softener composition comprising:
- (A) a nonionic compound represented by the following formula (Ia) or (Id), or a mixture thereof:
- wherein each R1 represents a liner or branched C7-17 alkyl or alkenyl group;
- and
- (B) an amino compound is represented by formula (VI) or a salt thereof:
- wherein R11 and R12 are the same or different and each of R11 and R12 represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-3 alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or aminoalkyl group or -(AO)nH, wherein each of A and n represents a number selected from 1 to 10, and R13 represents a C8-18 alkyl or alkenyl group into which an ester-, amide- or ether- bonding group is optionally inserted;
