  • cyclized by-products herein is meant the undesirable reaction by ⁇ products of the primary reaction wherein it appears that the multiple hydroxyl groups in the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can form ring structures.

  • EXPERIMENTAL Undesirable transfer of dyes from one fabric to another in consumer laundry can be determined as follows. White fabrics are laundered in the presence of a controlled amount of dyed fabric.

The amount of dye released and then retained is in part a function of the composition of the detergent solution.

Abstract

Des tissus de couleur sont lavés à l'aide de tensioactifs d'amides d'acides gras N-alkyl ou N-alkoxy polyhydroxy avec un transfert de couleur minimal entre les tissus. Ainsi, un bain de lavage contenant un glucamide de C12-C14 N-méthyle permet l'inhibition du transfert de couleur sur des tissus en cours de lavage. D'autres agents d'inhibition de transfert de couleur tels que poly(4-vinylpyridine-N-oxyde) peuvent être utilisés dans ces compositions pour en améliorer les résultats.
