Abstract
Abstract Quaternary ammonium compounds are provided which are useful in the treatment of substrates such as plastic materials and textile materials, both woven and nonwoven, from natural and synthetic fibers and mixtures thereof, to impart antistatic properties. A process is also provided for the preparation of such compounds, and for the treatment of substrates with such compounds.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
Quaternary ammonium compounds capable of imparting excellent antistatic properties to a substrate, having the general formula: ##EQU1##wherein: R 1 and R 2 are aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, having from about eight to about 22 carbon atoms; R 3 and R 4 are methyl, ethyl or hydroxyethyl; n is a number from 2 to 4, representing the number of carbon atoms in the oxyalkylene substituent; n 1 and n 2 are numbers within the range from 0.5 to about 10, representing the number of oxyalkylene groups present in each substituent; and represent average values; and X is an anion selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, hydroxyl, phosphate, methyl sulfate, formate acetate, proprionate citrate and tartarate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
