More particularly, it relates to compositions and methods for treating metal, paper, and textiles which compositions comprise an amphoteric surfactant derived from ethyleneamines, long-chain fatty acids, 1o and acrylic acid. According to one preferred form of the invention the ethyleneamine used as a raw material from which the surfactant is derived is tetraethylenepentamine.
Background 15 US Patent 5,322,630 provides a method of acidi~ing a subterranean formation with an acqueous acid solution wherein the acid solution contains corrosion inhibiting amounts of an amine derivative prepared by reacting an unsaturated carboxylic acid with ~~) fatty amine ox polyarnine, or lb~ a fatty amido amine or polyamine, or (c) a fatty imida~oline amine or polyamine. The derivative is characterised by the absence of 20 primary amino groups, and preferably contains only tertiary amino groups.

The polyamines are first reacted with fatty acids, esters or triglycerides derived from various animal, vegetable or synthetic sources ranging in molecular distribution from butyric through erucic acids (e.g. milkfat, soy bean oil, rapeseed oil) to form polyamines or imidazolines; they are then further reacted with unsaturated or halogenated carboxylic acids, carboxylated epoxy compounds or acid anhydrides (e.g. acrylic acid, itaconic acid, chloroacetic acid, malefic anhydrides octadecenyl anhydride) to form the various amphoteric structures.
to Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to amphoteric surfactants that are useful in various applications including paper softener, fabric softener, metal working and lubrication. An amphoteric surfactant of the present invention may be made by reacting tetraethylene pentamine ("TEPA") with 2.5 to 3.0 moles of a fatty acid to form an intermediate amide compound which is then converted to an amphoteric compound by reacting it with 1 to 2 moles of an unsaturated acid species selected from the group consisting of malefic acid, malefic anhydride, vinyl sulfonic acid, 2-methyl vinyl sulfonic acid, allylsulfonic acid, and acrylic acid. Thus, the present invention concerns compositions of matter useful for to treating paper, textiles, and human skin comprising an amphoteric surfactant represented by the formula:

Brief Description of the Drawing In the annexed drawing, FIGURE 1 shows softness test results using of oleic acid and acrylic acid according to the present invention.

Detailed Descriution An amphoteric surfactant of the present invention is exemplified by the use of TEPA as a raw material, and other amphoteric surfactants according to the invention are readily prepared using the same general procedure but with ethyleneamines such as pentaethylenehexamine, hexaethyleneheptamine, heptaethyleneoctamine, etc. An amphoteric surfactant according to the invention may be prepared by first reacting TEPA
as a starting material with 2.5 to 3 moles fatty acids, to form an intermediate substituted TEPA polyamide. According to one preferred form of the invention, 3 moles of fatty acid 1o are reacted with 1 mole of TEPA to yield the triamide. According to a preferred form of the invention, the polyamide is subsequently reacted with 1 to 2 moles of an unsaturated acid species such as acrylic acid or vinylsulf~nic acid t~ f~rm an amphoteric surfactant..
According to one preferred form of the invention, 2 moles of acrylic acid are reacted with one mole of polyamide, which is preferably a triamide. The resulting amphoteric is compounds are useful as softeners for tissue paper, fabrics, hair and skin.
The resulting ampheteric cempoun~s are also useful as lubri~;ants in metal~vorl~ing.
The general reaction scheme for producing an amphoteric surfactant useful in accordance with the present invention is set forth below:
(I) H2N ~N/~/H~~NHz + 3 R-CO~H -_____~".
H H

In reaction (I), one mole of tetraethylenepentamine is caused to be reacted with three moles of the mono-carboxylic acid in which R may be any C1 through C25 alkyl group, whether straight-chain, branched, cyclic, saturated or unsaturated. In the case of unsaturated carboxylic acids used as reactant with TEPA, the present invention contemplates the use of both cis- and t~°a~s- isomers. According to one preferred form of the invention, the reactant carboxylic acid is oleic acid, although any other carboxylic acid having between about 7 and 25 carbon atoms may be used, or mixtures thereof. The product of the reaction between three moles of the carboxylic acid and TEPA is the triamide shown in formula (II):

In practice, a mixture of positional isomers is formed with the Garb~xylic acid residue being substituted upon the various possible positions of substitution having is an active hydrogen atom at which the acid function of the carboxylic acid is capable of reacting, as is known to those skilled in the art. When fewer than three moles of acid are reacted per mole of TEPA, the resulting product is a mixture of isomers substituted at the first and second; first and third; first and fourth; first and fifth; second and third; and second and fourth positions. The present invention embraces all such positional isomers 2o and mixtures thereof.

Subsequent reaction of the polyamide shown in formula (II) with an unsaturated acid, such as, but not limited to, acrylic acid according to the formula (III):

for the case ~~rhere one mole of acrylic acid is reacted. When an ~nsatur ate~l sulfonate such as vinylsulfon is acid or allylsulfonic acid is employed, the carboxylic acid group in the above structure is replaced by the group -SO3H thus providing an amphoteric 1o surfactant with a sulfonate anionic portion. The structure above represents the predominant product of such reaction according to the invention. In practice, a mixture of positional isomers is formed with the acrylic residue being substituted upon the various possible positions of substitution having an active hydrogen atom at which the unsaturated function of the acrylic acid is capable of reacting, as is known to those skilled 15 in the art. When more than one mole of acrylic or other unsaturated carboxylic or sulfonic acid is reacted, more than one of the possible positions is substituted. The present invention embraces all such positional isomers. Monomers other than acrylic acid may of course be employed in the role just described for acrylic acid, including unsaturated acid species selected from the group consisting of malefic acid, malefic anhydride, vinyl sulfonic acid, 2-methyl vinyl sulfonic acid, and allylsulfonic acid.
According to one preferred form of the invention, oleic acid is reacted with TEPA
at 144° C for about 6-10 hours and is subsequently reacted with acrylic acid in the presence of propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol at about 105° C for about 8 hours, or until the reaction is complete. The structures of the reaction product are easily confirmed using NMR and IR spectroscopy.
to The following examples are illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as being delimitive thereof in any way. In general, any polyalkylene polyamine can be reacted with a fatty acid to yield an amide which is subsequently reacted with acrylic acid to yield an amphoteric surfactants useful in treating hair, skin, paper, textiles and fibers according to the invention.

E-400 MO is an ethoxylated oleic acid surfactant available from Huntsman Company LLC of Houston, Texas.
Solutions for treating tissue paper were prepared by making up a 1.0 %
solution of each of the above samples in water. Evaluations of the effect of each solution were made by immersing a swatch of untreated tissue in each of the 1.0 % aqueous solutions containing the material in the samples above. The treated tissue swatches were held in the solution for one minute, and withdrawn. The treated tissue swatches were then dried in an oven at 25° C. The tissues so treated were evaluated for their softness to the touch by several members of our research staff and each given a rating based on the scale:

excellent/very soft texture.
