Abstract
Abstract A textile treatment composition comprising a mixture of (A) a dispersion accelerator selected from aldoses and ketoses; polyhydroxyl compounds obtained therefrom by hydrogenation; natural and synthetic hydrophilic polymers; and mixtures thereof; and (B) a fatty acid condensation product obtained by reacting aliphatic C 8 -C 22 monocarboxylic acids or amide-forming derivatives thereof with polyamines and subsequent neutralization of unreacted amino groups; a process for producing such composition; and methods for its use. Preferably, the polyamines correspond to the formula ##STR1## wherein: R is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, or hydroxyethyl, R 1 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, hydroxyethyl, or --(CH 2 ) n -NHR, n is 2 to 4, and m is 1 to 4.
