| abstract |
The invention relates to aqueous emulsions for softening fiber material, the asymmetrical diesters of fumaric, maleic, succinic, glutaric and / or adipic acid, and possibly also other known softening agents, selected in addition to an emulsifier or emulsifier system and other conventional components as softening agents contain. In addition, a method for softening fiber material with these emulsions is claimed, the treated material being distinguished by a particularly smooth, soft handle, reduced wet soiling and superior soil release properties. |
