Polyadducts of an alkylene oxide and styrene oxide with an aryl alcohol, especially polyadducts of formulae <IMAGE> (1) <IMAGE> (2) <IMAGE> (3) wherein the ring A is an unsubstituted phenyl radical or a phenyl radical which is substituted by halogen, methyl or C1-C3alkoxy, Q1 is alkylene of 1 to 4 l carbon atoms, preferably methylene, in the pairs of substituents (Y1 and Y2) and (Y3 and Y4) one Y is phenyl and the other Y is hydrogen, "alkylene" denotes an alkylene radical of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, and m is an integer from 1 to 80. These polyadducts are a novel class of nonionic or anionic surfactants which are used as textile auxiliaries. |
