Abstract: | Nonionic surface active agents with two oxyalkyl chains were prepared from the triethylamine catalyzed reaction of ethylene oxide with diethanolamides of palmitic, stearic and tallow fatty acids. The addition of 4 moles of ethylene oxide was required to render these diethanolamides water soluble, whereas 9 moles were required to make the corresponding monoethanolamide soluble. Efficiency of lime soap dispersion increased as oxyethyl chain length was increased. Best detergency of soap-nonionic combinations was achieved when the oxyethyl chain length was at the minimum required for water solubility. Theγ-hydroxyethanolamides and -diethanolamides were prepared by the uncatalyzed reaction of the corresponding amines withγ-stearolactone. These compounds became water soluble at lower levels of oxyethylation, but the lime soap dispersing power and detergency were not improved over those of corresponding compounds derived from stearic acid.
