Abstract

Cationic textile agent compositions having improved cold water solubility consisting of from 99% to 70% by weight of at least one catonic textile brighening agent, a long-chain compound which contains basic salt-forming nitrogen atoms, and from 1% to 30% by weight of salt of the condensation product of a primary amine of the formula EQU R -- NH.sub.2 wherein R is a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, alkenyl having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, alkadienyl having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and phenylalkyl having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the alkyl, with from 6 to 30 mols of an alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide and mixtures of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, reacted at a temperature of from 40.degree. C to 100.degree. C under a pressure of at least one excess atmosphere in the presence of at least 5 mols of water per mol of amine and the absence of an alkoxylation catalyst, said salt being of an anion of an acid selected from the group consisting of inorganic acids and low-molecular-weight organic acids; as well as the method of improving the cold water solubility of cationic textile brightening ag…
