Textile-treatment agents which contain A. 50-80% by weight of acylated alkanolamines formed from saturated or unsaturated fatty acids having 12-22 C atoms and alkanolamines containing 1 or 2 nitrogen atoms, 1-3 hydroxyl groups and 2-6 C atoms, in a molar ratio of 1:1 to 3:1, B. 10-30% by weight of water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts of the general formula <IMAGE> wherein R1 denotes an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 14-25 C atoms which is interrupted by an amide or ester groups, R2 denotes a radical such as R1 or an alkyl radical having 1-4 C atoms, R3 denotes an alkyl radical having 1-4 C atoms or an hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl radical, R4 denotes an alkyl radical having 1-4 C atoms or an hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl or benzyl radical and X(-) denotes an anion. C. 2-20% by weight of a fatty acid ester formed from saturated or unsaturated fatty acids having 12-22 C atoms or dicarboxylic acids having 4-10 C atoms and monohydric to tetrahydric alcohols having 3-20 C atoms, D. 0-20% by weight of ethylene oxide adducts formed from fatty acids having 12-22 C atoms or from fatty alcohols having 8-18 C atoms or from alkylamines or dialkylamines having 12-36 C atoms or from alkylphenols having 10-24 C atoms and 3 to 50 mols of ethylene oxide and E. 0-25% by weight of diorganopolysiloxanes having a viscosity of 1,000 to 100,000 cSt, and a process for finishing natural and synthetic textile materials, characterized in that they are treated with these textile-treatment agents. |
