Quaternary ammonium compounds of the formula (I) are proposed in the R 1 CO for a saturated and / or unsaturated ethoxylated hydroxyacyl radical with 16 to 22 carbon atoms and 1 to 50 oxyethylene units, A for a linear or branched alkylene radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 independently of one another represents hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 5 represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a benzyl radical and X represents halogen, alkyl sulfate or alkyl phosphate. The QAV are also clearly soluble in cold water and are suitable as emulsifiers for the production of cosmetic products and as biocides for cleaning agents. |
