A composition comprising: (a) a compound of structural formula (1), wherein each of R* and R** is independently a linear, branched or cyclic alkylene group containing 2 to 12 carbon atoms, wherein no two nitrogen atoms are separated by fewer than 2 carbon atoms; each of A?1, A2, A3, A4, and A5¿ is independently a straight or branched alkylene containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms; each of R?1, R2, R3, R4, and R5¿ is independently -H or RAC(O)- wherein RA is straight or branched alkyl or alkenyl containing 7 to 21 carbon atoms and 0 to 4 carbon-carbon double bonds; provided that at least one of R?1, R2, R3, R4, or R5 is RA¿C(O)-; each of Q?1, Q2 and Q3¿ is indepently -H, -CH¿3?, -C2H5, -C3H7, -C4H5, benzyl, -CH2COOH, or CH2COOA?-¿; or, if R* is a -CH¿2?CH2- group, Q?1 and Q3¿ together or Q?1 and Q2¿ together may be a -CH¿2?CH2- group to form a six-membered piperazine ring; or, if R** is a -CH2CH2- group, Q?3 and Q3¿ together may be a -CH¿2?CH2- group to form a six-membered piperazine ring; m is 0 to 4; r is 0 to 2; each of v, w, x, y, and z is independently 1 to 8; i is 0 to 1, j is 0 to 1, and each k is 0 to 1, and the sum of (i+j+k) is 0 to 4; each A?-¿ is independently an anion as defined below; and n is the mumber of modles of A- needed to give the compound of structural formula (1) a zero net charge; and water, wherein the composition does not contain a significant amount of textile resin treating compounds or silicones. |
