- Softening agents have heretofore been used frequently as finishing agents for textile fabrics. They are utilized mainly for-finishing underwears and diapers after washing thereof to impart soft touch to these textile fabrics. Important properties required of softening agents are as follows.
- Fabric softening agents of various compositions are known in the art, but most of them' comprise as a main ingredient a quaternary, ammonium salt having two long-chain alkyl groups.
- non-ionic surfactants such as alkylphenol-ethylene oxide adducts and solvents such as alcohols and/or glycols are added to such main ingredient so as to improve the solution stability and other properties.
- non-ionic surfactants such as alkylphenol-ethylene oxide adducts and solvents such as alcohols and/or glycols are added to such main ingredient so as to improve the solution stability and other properties.
- a fabric softening agent In order to impart antistatic activity-to a fabric softening agent, it may at first be considered to incorporate into the composition an antistatic agent.
- an antistatic agent when for instance, stearyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, which is an antistatic agent broadly used, is incorporated into a fabric softening agent comprising as a 5 main ingredient a quaternary ammonium salt having two long-chain alkyl groups, an antistatic effect may be attained, but the stability of an aqueous solution of the agent is extremely lowered, with the result that the agent is no longer applicable to practical use.
- this invention provides a softening composition which exhibits an excellent softening effect to fabrics and a sufficient solution stability even at a high concentration and which can impart an excellent antistatic property to the treated textile fabrics.
- an antistatic softening composition comprising the following four ingredients (I) to-(IV):
- At least one antistatic agent selected from compounds expressed by 'the following formula- (ea ca m R -'N R X and compounds expressed by the following formula 3 wherein R is an alkyl group havnig l6 to 22 carbon atoms, R, and R stand independently for an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and p is a number of from 1 to 4; having lll.
- IV 2 percent by weight of at least one additive selected from the group consisting of alcohols having l to 3 carbon atoms, glycols having 2 to 3 carbon atoms. glycerol. sorbitol and urea.
- the balance of the composition is water.
- the quaternary ammonium salt (I) there may be preferably mentioned, distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and di-halogenatcd-tallt)walkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride.
- the non-ionic surfactant (lll) include R,;()(CH CH Ol,,,H (in which R.; is an alkyl group having l2 to 18 carbon atoms),
- composition of this invention comprising the above ingredients alone can fully attain the intended objects of this invention, but in order to ensure the stability on storage for a long period. it is preferred that the composition is incorporated with a small amount of an inorganic salt such as NaCl and Na SO,. usually ().()l to 0.5 percent by weight.
- the composition of this invention is further characterized in that. when a fluorescent dye of the distilbene or diaminostilbene type is incorporated in the composition ofthis invention. the fluorescent dye exhausts on the fabrics and acts effectively.
- EXAMPLE l Antistatic agents were incorporated into a softening composition, and the solution stability, and the antistatic effect and other properties of treated products were 7 (in WhlCh R7 iS an alkyl group having 8 IO 12 carbon Distearyl dimethyl ammonium 6.4% by weight atoms) and R,,COO(CH CH O),,,H.(in which R, is an zl gi by weight alkyl group having 1 l to 17 carbon atoms), in each of Nrmylphenol polyoxyethylenc 1:07! by weight which it is preferred that m is a number of from to E l e s U h h 90.
- EO means C H O and Rcoco indicates a coconut alkyl (cocoyl) group.
- the viscosity is expressed in the cps unit.
- R indicates an alkyl group ofC,H and R shows the presence of a double bond.
- compositions incorporated with anionic antistatic agents H to K and non-ionic antistatic agents L and P fail to impart intended antistatic performance to treated products, and other performances and stability are also insufficient.
- Compositions incorporated with cationic antistatic agents A to D can impart sufficient antistatic property. but compositions incorporated with antistatic agents A, B, B and D are defective in solution stability and whiteness of the treated fabrics and they are not usable for practical applications.
- the composition incorporated with antistatic agent C is not completely satisfactory, it can be put into practical use.
- the composition incorporated with antistatic agent C is especially excellent in various properties.
- Compositions incorporated with amphoteric antistatic agents E to G can impart sufficient antistatic property, but compositions incorporated with antistatic agents F and G are defective in stability and whiteness of the treated product and they cannot be put into practical use.
- the sample was allowed to stand in a thermostat chamber maintained at 50C. for 1 month, and the state i of the sample was examined as to whether the phase separation was caused.
- compositions were allowed to stand at room temperature for l month after blending, and the viscosities were measured at 30C.. each value being expressed in the cps unit.
- a cotton towel cloth, a bleached cotton diaper cloth and an acrylic blanket were respectively washed according to an ordinary method, and treated with a ().l or 0.3 percent solution of the softening composition, followed by drying.
- Each sample was subjected to the touch test by 5 men and 5 women, and the softness was evaluated based on points given to the sample.
- Each value shown in Table 4 is the sum of points given by each tester. Thus, a higher value means a higher softness.
- a cotton broadcloth was treated with a ().l or 0.3 percent solution of the softening composition and dried.
- the resulting cloth was used'as a test sample.
- the water absorption was measured according to Klemm method (the method in which the sample cloth is kept in the vertical state, the bottom 'is'dipped in water, and the rate of water rise is measured).

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Softening agents have heretofore been used frequently as finishing agents for textile fabrics. They are utilized mainly for-finishing underwears and diapers after washing thereof to impart soft touch to these textile fabrics. Important properties required of softening agents are as follows.
a.'They impart a soft touch or feeling to treated textile fabrics.
b. They impart an antistatic property-to treated textile fabrics.
c. They do not reduce water absorption of treated textile fabrics.
d. Even in the form of concentrated liquid fabric softener solutions, they are stable at the temperature encountered during the marketing process and during the laundering process and they can maintain 1 low viscosity under such environmental changes.
Among the above properties, the property (a) should naturally be required at'first and is most important among the above properties. However, also each of properties (b) to (d) has a great significance in actual applications.
Fabric softening agents of various compositions are known in the art, but most of them' comprise as a main ingredient a quaternary, ammonium salt having two long-chain alkyl groups.
In some instances, non-ionic surfactants such as alkylphenol-ethylene oxide adducts and solvents such as alcohols and/or glycols are added to such main ingredient so as to improve the solution stability and other properties. Although fabric softening agents of known compositions can give satisfactory softening effects, any of them fails to exhibit sufficient effects with respect to properties (b) to (d), especially antistatic property and stability.
Consumption of clothes and garments composed of synthetic fibers has recently increased very rapidly, but clothes of synthetic fibers are fatally defective in, that they are readily statically charged as compared with clothes of natural fibers. When the fabrics are statically charged, they tend to catch dust thereon very easily or cling to the body, or tend to generate sparks on wearing or undressing. It is well known that these undesired phenomena caused by accumulation of static chargesare great disadvantages of clothes and garments of synthetic fibers.
It is necessary to solve the problem that liquid soften-- ers frequently undergo phase separation and have a tendency to be very viscous under various climate and temperature conditions unless the active softening ingredients are present only in low concentrations. Further, it is also required that softening agents are hardly frozen or solidified at temperatures around the freezing point and, if they become frozen or become extremely viscous at these low temperatures, they must readily recover their original viscosities when the temperature is returned to room temperature.
In order to impart antistatic activity-to a fabric softening agent, it may at first be considered to incorporate into the composition an antistatic agent. However, when for instance, stearyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, which is an antistatic agent broadly used, is incorporated into a fabric softening agent comprising as a 5 main ingredient a quaternary ammonium salt having two long-chain alkyl groups, an antistatic effect may be attained, but the stability of an aqueous solution of the agent is extremely lowered, with the result that the agent is no longer applicable to practical use. Further,
the incorporation of such antistatic agent is accompanied with a disadvantage-that discoloration or quenching of fluorescence is brought about in the case of clothes treated with an anionic direct dye or an anionic fluorescent dye. Further, even if such softening agent comprising the above quaternary ammonium salt and an antistatic agent-is incorporated with a known solution stabilizer comprising an alkylphenol-ethylene oxide adduct or other similar non-ionic surfactant and a solvent such as alcohols and glycols, the resulting composition is still inferior in the solution stability. On the other hand, when other well-known anti-static agents are employed, the resulting compositions are more or less defective in the point of antistatic performance, solution stability, yellow discoloration of solutions and so on, and they cannot be applied to practical use. As a result of research works made with a view to developing an antistatic softening composition free of the above-mentioned defects, we have found that when a specific antistatic agent is incorporated into a specific softening composition, the above defects can be overcome, and based on this finding we have arrived at this invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, this invention provides a softening composition which exhibits an excellent softening effect to fabrics and a sufficient solution stability even at a high concentration and which can impart an excellent antistatic property to the treated textile fabrics. ln accordance with this invention, there is provided an antistatic softening composition comprising the following four ingredients (I) to-(IV):
I. 4 10 percent by weight of a quaternary ammonium salt having two long-chain alkyl groups having 16 to 22 carbon atoms;
II. 0.5 3.0 percent by weight of at least one antistatic agent selected from compounds expressed by 'the following formula- (ea ca m R -'N R X and compounds expressed by the following formula 3 wherein R is an alkyl group havnig l6 to 22 carbon atoms, R, and R stand independently for an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and p is a number of from 1 to 4; having lll. 0.5 2.0 percent by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant containing an alkyl group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms and having 40 90 moles of ethylene oxide units; and
IV. 2 percent by weight of at least one additive selected from the group consisting of alcohols having l to 3 carbon atoms, glycols having 2 to 3 carbon atoms. glycerol. sorbitol and urea.
The balance of the composition is water.
Now, description will be made on preferred compounds.
As the quaternary ammonium salt (I), there may be preferably mentioned, distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and di-halogenatcd-tallt)walkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. Preferable examples ofthe non-ionic surfactant (lll) include R,;()(CH CH Ol,,,H (in which R.; is an alkyl group having l2 to 18 carbon atoms),
The composition of this invention comprising the above ingredients alone can fully attain the intended objects of this invention, but in order to ensure the stability on storage for a long period. it is preferred that the composition is incorporated with a small amount of an inorganic salt such as NaCl and Na SO,. usually ().()l to 0.5 percent by weight. The composition of this invention is further characterized in that. when a fluorescent dye of the distilbene or diaminostilbene type is incorporated in the composition ofthis invention. the fluorescent dye exhausts on the fabrics and acts effectively.
This invention will now be illustrated more specifically by reference to Examples.

5. Each mark has the following meaning:
@ particularly excellent 0 excellent and sufficient A performance being slightly insufficient and state being accompanied with a little degradation X insufficient performance and state with a considerable degradation and not applicable to practical use.
From the above results, it is recognized that compositions incorporated with anionic antistatic agents H to K and non-ionic antistatic agents L and P fail to impart intended antistatic performance to treated products, and other performances and stability are also insufficient. Compositions incorporated with cationic antistatic agents A to D can impart sufficient antistatic property. but compositions incorporated with antistatic agents A, B, B and D are defective in solution stability and whiteness of the treated fabrics and they are not usable for practical applications. Although the composition incorporated with antistatic agent C is not completely satisfactory, it can be put into practical use. The composition incorporated with antistatic agent C is especially excellent in various properties. Compositions incorporated with amphoteric antistatic agents E to G can impart sufficient antistatic property, but compositions incorporated with antistatic agents F and G are defective in stability and whiteness of the treated product and they cannot be put into practical use.
EXAMPLE 2 In connection with the antistatic agent-containing compositions (C, C and E) which exhibited excellent properties in Example I, the influences of the number of moles of the ethylene oxide (EO) units of the nonionic surfactant and the additives to those compositions were examined to obtain compositions having more excellent properties and being applicable to practical use.

The cloths were allowed to stand at a temperature of C. and a relative humidity of percent for 2 days. The resulting fabrics were used as samples. The frictional electrification voltage was determined by employing a rotary static tester (Kaken type of Kyoto University). in general, it is admitted that, when the frictional electrification voltage is lower than 300 volts (V), troubles due to static electricity can be neglected.
incidentally, when the above starting fabric swatches were subjected to this static testwithout treatment with the antistatic softening composition of this invention, it was found that the-polyester fabric swatches exhibited a frictional electrification voltage of-2,2OO V and the acrylic fabric swatches exhibited 1,900 V.
3. Softness:
A cotton towel cloth, a bleached cotton diaper cloth and an acrylic blanket were respectively washed according to an ordinary method, and treated with a ().l or 0.3 percent solution of the softening composition, followed by drying. Each sample was subjected to the touch test by 5 men and 5 women, and the softness was evaluated based on points given to the sample. Each value shown in Table 4 is the sum of points given by each tester. Thus, a higher value means a higher softness.
4. Water Absorption:
A cotton broadcloth was treated with a ().l or 0.3 percent solution of the softening composition and dried. The resulting cloth was used'as a test sample. The water absorption was measured according to Klemm method (the method in which the sample cloth is kept in the vertical state, the bottom 'is'dipped in water, and the rate of water rise is measured). In Table 4', the position of water rising within 1 minute from dipping was expressed in the cm unit.
