A quaternary fatty diester of 2-hydroxypropyl diethanol amine and aqueous dispersions thereof useful as fabric softening products, laundering products, household cleaning products and personal hair and skin care products. Methods for softening textiles, fabrics or laundry articles with the quaternary fatty diesters of the present invention are also disclosed.

Quaternary fatty diesters of hydroxypropyl diethanol amine

Fatty alkoxylate esters consisting of diesters of aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids, formed by reacting the acid with a stoichiometric excess of one or more polyalkoxylated fatty alcohols having fatty moieties containing from 14 to 22 carbon atoms. Non-aqueous compositions for topical application are also disclosed including one or more active ingredients, and an emollient agent of the fatty alkoxylate esters of the present invention.

Fatty alkoxylate esters of aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids

Non-aqueous compositions for topical application comprising one or more active ingredients and a fatty alkoxylate ester emollient agent comprising a diester or triester of an aliphatic or aromatic tricarboxylic acid formed by reacting the acid with a stoichiometric excess of one or more polyalkoxylated fatty alcohols.

Non-aqueous emollient compositions for topical application

Fatty alkoxylate esters which are diesters or triesters of an aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic or tricarboxylic acid formed by reacting the acid with a stoichiometric excess of one or more polyalkoxylated fatty alcohols. Compositions for topical application are also disclosed including one or more active ingredients, water and an emollient agent of the fatty alkoxylate esters of the present invention.

Fatty alkoxylate esters of aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic and

Alkyl ether sulfuric acid half-esters are neutralized in the presence of polyhydroxy oligomers such as polyglycerol to provide half-ester salt compositions of high activity and good viscosity characteristics. The products are particularly useful in shampoo formulations.

Neutralized alkyl ether sulfuric acid half-ester compositions containing

An improvement in the production of Guerbet alcohols by the condensation of alcohols in the presence of a catalyst and an alkali consisting of utilizing from 0.05 to 3.0 gm per mol of total alcohol of an insoluble lead salt of an oxyacid of a group IV element having a molecular weight greater than 27, such as oxyacids selected from the group consisting of the silicate, the titanate, the zirconate, the germanate and the hafnate, as said catalyst.
