Abstract
Abstract Processes for the treatment of textile fabrics which comprises applying to the fabrics a finishing agent of the group consisting of (a) phosphoric acid esters of poly(oxyethylene) alkanols and salts thereof having the formulae [R--O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n ].sub.3 P═O or ##STR1## OR MIXTURES OF THESE COMPOUNDS, IN WHICH FORMULAE R is a straight-chain alkyl radical having at least 16 and at most 18 carbon atoms, n is an integer of at least 10 and at most 14, and Me is a monovalent metal ion, and (b) monoglycerides and diglycerides of saturated aliphatic straight-chain fatty acids having at least 12 and at most 14 carbon atoms, and (c) mixtures of the said finishing agents at (a), (b) and (c).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A process for the treatment of a textile fabric for improving its hand, fullness, flexibility, wrinkle recovery, and ease of cleaning which process comprises applying to the surface of the fabric a solution of a finishing agent selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid esters of poly(oxyethylene) alkanols having the formula: [R--O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n ].sub.3 P═O and mixtures of these esters with salts having the formula ##STR5## in which formulae R is a straight-chain alkyl radical having at least 16 and at most 18 carbon atoms, n is an integer of at least 10 and atmost 14 and Me is a monovalent metal ion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A process for the treatment of a textile fabric for improving its hand, fullness, flexibility, wrinkle recovery, and ease of cleaning which process comprises applying to the surface of the fabric a solution of a finishing agent selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid esters of poly(oxyethylene) alkanols having the formula: [R--O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n ].sub.3 P═O and mixtures of these esters with salts having the formula ##STR5## in which formulae R is a straight-chain alkyl radical having at least 16 and at most 18 carbon atoms, n is an integer of at least 10 and atmost 14 and Me is a monovalent metal ion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the solvent for the finishing agent is tetrachloroethylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the salt of the phosphoric acid ester is a sodium or potassium salt.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the finishing agent further includes a glyceryl laurate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
71 words
In a process for the dry cleaning of a textile fabric in a bath containing a detergent in an organic dry-cleaning solvent, the improvement which comprises adding to the bath at least one of the finishing agents defined in claim 1, the finishing agent acting as emulsifying agent in the dry-cleaning operation and the organic dry-cleaning solvent including water in an amount below that at which the emulsion formed becomes unstable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A process as defined in claim 1 in which the finishing agent is a mixture of a phosphoric acid ester of a poly(oxyethylene) alkanol and a sodium salt thereof having the formula [CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.17 --O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.10 ].sub.3 P═O and ##STR6##
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process as defined in claim 1 in which the finishing agent is a mixture of phosphoric acid esters of poly(oxyethylene) alkanols and sodium salts thereof having the formulae [CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.15 --O--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.14 ].sub.3 P═O [ch.sub.3 (ch.sub.2).sub.17 --o--(ch.sub.2 ch.sub.2 o).sub.14 ].sub.3 p═o ##STR7##
