Abstract
A modified polyol compound having alkoxylation and having at least one anionic capping unit, uses of the modified polyol compound having alkoxylation and having at least one anionic capping unit and cleaning compositions comprising the same.
Claims2
A process for making a completely quaternized compound from a fully ethoxylated polyol compound, the polyol compound comprising at least three hydroxy moieties, all of the hydroxy moieties being substituted with an alkoxy moiety, the alkoxy moiety consisting of ethoxy;
- wherein the process comprises the steps of (a) providing an ethoxylated polyol compound comprising at least three hydroxy moieties such that the average degree of ethoxylation of each hydroxy moiety is between about 1 and about 100;
- (b) reacting all ethoxy moieties of ethoxylated polyol with an anionic capping unit selected from the group consisting of sulfate, phosphate, carbonate, or mixtures thereof to form an anionic ethoxylated polyol;
- (c) substituting all of said anionic capping units with amine capping units;
- and
- (d) quaternizing all of said amine capping units.
