  • Patent number: 4016123
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of cationic resin aqueous emulsions useful for treating fiber-containing articles, comprising reacting an isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer with an excess of a polyalkylene-polyamine to form a polyurethane-urea-polyamine, reacting a part of the amino groups in the thus-formed polyurethane-urea-polyamine with a compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl isocyanates having an alkyl group of 12 to 22 carbon atoms, acyl chlorides having an alkyl group of 12 to 22 carbon atoms and .alpha.-olefin epoxides having 12 to 22 carbon atoms, thereby to introduce a long-chain alkyl group into the molecule of the polyurethane-urea-polyamine, and mixing the alkyl-containing polyurethane-urea-polyamine with an aqueous solution of an acid thereby to convert the remaining amino groups to cations.

  • Patent number: 4008196
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of amphoteric resinous aqueous emulsions useful for the treatment of fiber-containing products, comprising reacting an isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer with an excess of a polyalkylene polyamine to form a polyurethane-urea-polyamine, then partially reacting the amino groups in the polyurethane-urea-polyamine with a compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl isocyanates in which the alkyl group has 12 to 22 carbon atoms and alpha-olefin epoxides having 12 to 22 carbon atoms, thereby to introduce a long-chain alkyl group into the molecule, reacting the thus-formed product having some unreacted amino groups with a member selected from the group consisting of 1,3-propanesultone, 1,4-butanesultone, .beta.-propiolactone, .epsilon.-caprolactone and .delta.-valerolactone, thereby to render the polymer amphoteric, and mixing the resulting polymer with water.

  • Patent number: 3952128
    Abstract: A novel antistatic agent soluble in organic solvent which can afford durable antistatic property to hydrophobic fibers and fibrous structures is provided. Such antistatic agent consists substantially of a complex compound of a polyvinyl derivative having quaternary ammonium groups in its side chains, its counter anion being substituted with an anionic surfactant containing 2 to 8 ethylene oxide units, an ester-bonded sulfonate, an alkylamidocarboxylic acid salt or an amphoteric surfactant of carboxylic acid type.Hydrophobic fibers and fibrous structures having durable antistatic property, and a process for producing such hydrophobic fibers and fibrous structures also are provided, by utilizing the above antistatic agent.
