Abstract
Process for the treatment of textile fibre materials with foams, which contain (a) a first surface-active agent with a HLB value of 0.1 to 10.0, for example a fatty alcohol which can be ethoxylated, and is a major constituent, (b) a second surface-active agent with a HLB value of more than 8.5, as a minor constituent, the HLB value being at least 3.0 units higher than that of component (a), for example an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a fatty acid, of an alkylarylsulfonic acid, of an alkylsulfonic acid, of a sulfuric acid alkyl ester or of a glycol-ether-sulfate, or a fatty acid/alkanolamine reaction product or an ethoxylated fatty alcohol, and (c) a dye, a fluorescent brightener and/or a textile chemical.
