  • softeners The use of such compositions reduces hardening of the fabric caused by drying and has an attractive effect on the handle of the treated fabric.
  • creasing it is also possible to reduce creasing so that, ideally, after treatment ironing is not necessary or is at least made substantially easier because of the reduced creasing.
  • Water-insoluble quaternary ammonium compounds are usually used as active substances. Particularly widely used are, for example, esters of quaternary ammonium compounds, so- called “esterquats", that have at least one long-chain hydrophobic alkyl or alkenyl group interrupted by carboxy groups. Such compounds are described, for example, in EP-A-0239 910 or in WO-A-95/24460. Also widely used is distearyldimethylammonium chloride (DSDMAC). Active substances in softeners have the disadvantage that they reduce the water absorption capacity of the textile fabrics treated with the softener, especially cotton fabric. Also, not all softeners exhibit satisfactory properties in respect of dye fixing.
