Abstract: Solid fabric conditioner compositions comprising quaternary ammonium softener compound and high molecular alcohol, said compositions imparting antistatic properties and improving water wicking of fabrics.

Abstract: Described are antistatic and softener compositions for application to textiles consisting of (a) the reaction product of a member of the group consisting of alkylating, arylating and aralkylating agents and a condensation product of alkylolamine and carboxylic acid, the carboxylic acid containing at least twelve carbon atoms, e.g., the condensate of stearic acid and diethanolamine quaternized with dimethyl sulfate, and (b) an inorganic salt of an alkali or alkaline earth metal which improves the antistatic qualities of the composition and does not significantly impair the softening qualities thereof, e.g., lithium chloride.

Abstract: An image-printing process comprising applying to a substrate a printing ink containing from about 0.01% to 1.0%, based on the total weight of the ink, of a fluorocarbon surfactant containing a fluorocarbon moiety selected from the group.Cf.sub.3 (cf.sub.2).sub.3 cf.sub.3 cf(cf.sub.3)o-, and CF.sub.3 CF(CF.sub.3)CF.sub.2 -, the surfactant containing at least 25% fluorine by weight; also, printing inks containing particular surfactants having the CF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.3 moiety.
