Abstract
Abstract A condensate of fatty acid and hydroxyalkyl polyamine is used as an opacifier and thickener in liquid washing preparations free from anionic surfactants and containing fabric-softening quaternary ammonium compounds and at least 10% by weight of nonionic surfactants. The use of this condensate provides for excellent viscosity/temperature behavior during the storage and handling of the liquid washing preparations over a wide temperature range.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
An aqueous textile washing composition free from anionic surfactants comprising (a) from about 10 to about 70% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant which is an adduct of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with fatty alcohols and/or with oxoalcohols; (b) from about 1 to about 35% by weight of at least one imidazolinium compound which contains 2 long chain (C 10 -C 24 ) alkyl or alkenyl groups; (c) from about 0.4 to about 5% by weight of a fatty acid-hydroxyalkyl polyamine condensate which is obtained by the reaction of 1 to 4 mols of fatty acid radicals obtained from either free fatty acids, from their lower alkyl esters, from their acid halides, or from their glycerides, with one mole of hydroxylaklylpolyamine; (d) from about 1 to about 20% by weight of at least one monohydric or polyhydric alcohol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
An aqueous textile washing composition free from anionic surfactants comprising (a) from about 10 to about 70% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant which is an adduct of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with fatty alcohols and/or with oxoalcohols; (b) from about 1 to about 35% by weight of at least one imidazolinium compound which contains 2 long chain (C 10 -C 24 ) alkyl or alkenyl groups; (c) from about 0.4 to about 5% by weight of a fatty acid-hydroxyalkyl polyamine condensate which is obtained by the reaction of 1 to 4 mols of fatty acid radicals obtained from either free fatty acids, from their lower alkyl esters, from their acid halides, or from their glycerides, with one mole of hydroxylaklylpolyamine; (d) from about 1 to about 20% by weight of at least one monohydric or polyhydric alcohol.
