Abstract: A composition to be used for providing a permanent hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products made thereof consists of a hydrophilically modified or amphoteric polydimethylsiloxane in a proportion of 3 to 30 weight percent, a quaternary ammonium compound in a proportion of 25 to 85 weight percent, the quaternary ammonium compound having a melting point of at least 55° C.; a fatty alcohol having a melting point of at least 60° C. in a proportion of 0 to 25 weight percent; a non-ionic consistency enhancer in a proportion of 0 to 40 weight percent and at least one dispersion additive in a proportion of 0 to 10 weight percent. The composition is preferably present as granulate and has a melting point of at least 45° C.

Abstract: A surfactant composition for use for applying a permanent hydrophilic finish to textile fibers and textile products manufactured therefrom contains 40 to 90% by weight of a mixture of at least one non-ionic surfactant and optionally at least one anionic surfactant and/or one cationic surfactant, and up to 60% by weight of a hydrophobic additive. The hydrophobic additive comprises at least one compound of the group of fatty acid esters, vegetable oils and fats, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A composition to be used for providing permanent hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products made thereof consists of at least one anionic surfactant based on a neutralized phosphoric acid ester of a fatty alcohol having at least 12 C-atoms in a proportion of 25 to 80 weight percent, a non-ionic consistency enhancer in a proportion of 10 to 50 weight percent, a hydrophilically modified polyalkylsiloxane in a proportion of 3 to 35 weight percent and a hydrotropic dispersion additive in a proportion of 0 to 5 weight percent, each based on the total weight of the composition. The composition is preferably present as a granulate and has a melting point of at least 45° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for permanently hydrophilizing polyolefin fibers and polyolefin filaments as well as nonwoven textile fabrics made thereof for use as hygiene products such as baby diapers and sanitary napkins or medicinal products such as incontinence products, wound dressings and surgical covers. The composition contains a combination of a non-ionic surfactant, a cationic quaternary ammonium compound and a neutralized phosphoric acid ester. The fiber products finished with the composition exhibit improved resistance to wet migration and dry migration and quick fluid absorption.
