Surfactant compounds are claimed which consists essentially of a) fatty alcohol alkoxylates, b) amorphous silica, c) a carrier material and optionally d) an assistant.

Surfactant composition comprising fatty alcohol alkoxylates and amorphous silica

The invention relates to a method for producing hydrolysis-stable ammonium nitriles by reacting a compound of formula (1), wherein R, R, and Rare identical or different and represent linear or branched C&#x2013;C-alkyl groups, C&#x2013;C-alkenyl groups, substituted or non-substituted benzyl or C&#x2013;C-alkoxy-C&#x2013;C-alkyl groups, or wherein Rand R, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, form a ring with 4 to 6 C-atoms which can be substituted with C&#x2013;Calkyl, C&#x2013;Calkoxy, C&#x2013;Calkanoyl, phenyl, amino, ammonium, cyano, cyanamino, chlorine or bromine and which can contain in addition to the nitrogen atom, instead of the carbon atoms, one or two oxygen or nitrogen atoms, a group N&#x2014;Ror a group R&#x2014;N&#x2014;R, wherein R6 is hydrogen, C&#x2013;C-alkyl, C&#x2013;C-alkenyl, C&#x2013;C-alkinyl, phenyl, C&#x2013;C-aralkyl, C&#x2013;C-cycloalkyl, C&#x2013;C-alkanoyl, cyanomethyl or cyan, Rand Rare hydrogen, C&#x2013;C-alkyl, C&#x2013;C-alkenyl, C&#x2013;C-alkoxy-C&#x2013;C-alkyl, phenyl or C&#x2013;C-alkylphenyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or phenyl, Respecially meaning hydrogen when Rdoes not mean hydrogen, and X represents an anion; with an alkaline or ammonium salt of an alkane sulfonate, paraffin sulfonate, aryl sulfonate, alcohol sulfate or fatty acid alkyl carboxylate in the presence of water, at a high temperature
