Abstract
An antistatic composition, useful for addition to laundry detergents, shampoos and other preparations for treating fibrous and other materials to diminish tendencies thereof to accumulate electrostatic charges, comprises an amide of trialkylacetic acid and/or an amide of isostearic acid, and a quaternary ammonium salt in a certain range of proportions, with the proportion of amide(s) being greater than that of quaternary ammonium salt. The antistatic composition and the components thereof, in described proportion, are compatible with anionic detergents and other anionic compounds and good antistatic effects are obtainable on washed laundry, dryer-treated laundry and on shampooed hair when the antistatic composition or the components thereof is/are included in the laundry detergent composition, in the dryer product or in the shampoo, and such effects are obtained without the disadvantages attendant the presence of quaternary ammonium halide in anionic synthetic organic detergent based laundry detergent compositions and shampoos in sufficient proportion for the quaternary ammonium halide to make washed laundry or shampooed hair antistatic.
