Fabric treating agent, process for producing fabric, and fabric for vehicle interior materials

A fabric treating agent comprising:

• at least one wax (a) selected from the group consisting of a paraffin wax having a melting point of 60° C. or higher, an oxidized paraffin wax having a melting point of 60° C. or higher, a polyethylene wax having a melting point of 100° C. or higher, and an oxidized polyethylene wax having a melting point of 100° C. or higher;
• and
• a nonionic surfactant (b);
• wherein said at least one wax (a) comprises a mixture of a paraffin wax (a1) having a melting point of 60° C. or higher and an oxidized paraffin wax (a3) having a melting point of 60° C. or higher,
• and wherein a weight ratio between the component (a1) and the component (a3) ranges from 98:2 to 80:20.

• a nonionic surfactant (b);
• and
• an anionic surfactant (c);
• wherein a ratio of the wax (a) in a total of the wax (a), the nonionic surfactant (b), and the anionic surfactant (c) ranges from 60 to 90 wt %;
• wherein said at least one wax (a) comprises a mixture of a paraffin wax (a1) having a melting point of 60° C. or higher and an oxidized paraffin wax (a3) having a melting point of 60° C. or higher,
• wherein a weight ratio between the component (a1) and the component (a3) ranges from 98:2 to 80:20;
• and wherein the anionic surfactant is represented by the following chemical formula (1) or (2):
• [Chem. 1]
• R1—OSO3M1 (1)
• (where R1 is an alkyl group having from 8 to 40 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having from 8 to 40 carbon atoms, M1 is a hydrogen atom, alkaline metal, alkaline earth metal or a group represented by NR3R4R5R6, and each of R3, R4, R5 and R6 is independently a hydrogen atom or an organic group;
• [Chem. 2]
• R2—SO3M2 (2)
• (where R2 is an organic group having from 8 to 40 carbon atoms, M2 is a hydrogen atom, alkaline metal, alkaline earth metal or a group represented by NR3R4R5R6, and each of R3, R4, R5 and R6 is independently a hydrogen atom or an organic group.)
