Abstract: Compositions comprising at least one member of the group consisting of (A) a -N-acyl-N-alkyl-aminoacetic acid alkanolamides of the general formula R1CON(R2)CH2CONH-alkylene-OH, wherein R1 is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical containing 6-20 carbon atoms, R2 is a C1-C4 alkyl group and "alkylene" denotes an alkylene radical containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, (B) a -N-acyl-N-alkylaminoacetic acid-(hydroxy-alkylene) aminoalkyl amides of the general formula R1CON(R2)CH2CONH-alkylene-NH-alkylene-OH, wherein R1, R2 and "alkylene" are as above, (C) products obtained by the alkoxylation of the terminal hydroxyl group of compounds (A) or (B) and (D) salts of the acid sulphuric acid esters of the compounds (A), (B) or (C) and at least one member of the group consisting of (a) aliphatic alcohols having more than 5 carbon atoms, (b) alkoxylation products of the compounds (a), (c) alkoxylation products of alkyl aryl compounds having phenolic hydroxy groups and (d) salts of the acid sulphuric acid esters of the compounds (a), (b) or (c) are used (i) in admixture with mono and di iso- and isothio-cyanates to give resin finishes on fabrics, cf. Examples 12 and 13, (ii) as an anticoagulant in natural and synthetic rubber latex of Examples 6 and 7, and (iii) in the polymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene to produce a stable latex.ALSO:Capillary active compositions comprise at least one member of the group consisting of (A) a  - N - acyl - N - alkyl - aminoacetic acid alkanolamides of the general formula R1CON(R2)CH2CO.HN-alkylene-OH, wherein R1 is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical containing 6-20 carbon atoms, R2 is a C1-C4 alkyl radical and "alkylene" denotes an alkylene radical containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms; (B) a -N-acyl-N-alkylaminoacetic acid - (hydroxy - alkylene) - aminoalkyl amides of the general formula R1CON(R2)CH2CONH-alkylene-NH -alkylene-OH, wherein R1, R2 and "alkylene" have the same meanings as above; (C) products obtained by the alkoxylation of the terminal hydroxyl group of the compounds (A) or (B) and (D) salts of the acid sulphuric acid esters of compounds (A), (B) and (C) and at at least one member of the group consisting of (a) aliphatic alcohols containing more than 5 carbon atoms; (b) alkonylation products of the compounds (a), (c) alkoxylation products of alkyl aryl compounds having phenolic hydroxy groups, and (d) salts of the acid sulphuric acid esters of compounds (a), (b) and (c). Other additives specified are sodium carbonate dyes and pigments, phosphoric acid esters, mono and diisocyanates and isothiocyanates, alginates and organic solvents, e.g. those used in dry cleaning. The alkanol amides are obtained from the acid chlorides of cuprylic, lauric, coconut, palmitic or palm kernel, stearic, hydroxy stearic and ricinoleic acids.  Examples of aliphatic alcohols used are octyl, nonyl, dodecyl, lauryl, C14-C16, stearyl and cetyl-stearyl, and tridecyl alcohols.  Compounds having phenolic hydroxy groups are p-octyl phenol, p-nonyl phenol, diisobutyl-phenol, p-octylnaphthol, isooctyl-o-cresol and isobutyl or butyl-p-cresol.  Many examples of the compositions are given and in Example 14 comparison of their wetting power with that of alkyl aryl sulphonates is made.ALSO:Composition comprising at least one member of the group consisting of (A) a -N-acyl-N-alkyl-amino-acetic acid alkanolamides of general formula R1CO N(R2)CH2COHN-alkylene-OH wherein R1 is saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical containing 6-20 carbon atoms, R2 is a C1-C4 alkyl group and "alkylene" denotes an alkylene radical containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, (B) a -N-acyl N-alkylaminoacetic acid-(hydroxy-alkylene)-aminoalkyl amides of general formula R1CON(R2)CH2COHN-alkylene NH-alkylene-OH. wherein R1R2 and "alkylene" are as above, (C) products obtained by the alkoxylation of the terminal hydroxyl groups of compounds (A) or (B) and (D) salts of the acid sulphuric acid esters of the compounds (A), (B), or (C) and at least one member of the group consisting of (a) aliphatic alcohols having more than 5 carbon atoms, (b) alkoxylation products of the compounds (a), (c) alkoxylation products of alkyl aryl compounds having phenolic hydroxy groups and (d) salts of the acid sulphuric acid esters of the compounds (a), (b) or (c), are incorporated into printing pastes, padding liquors and dispersions of organic pigments and dyestuffs of Examples 1-4, 13 and 15.  Examples 8, 9 and 12 describe the use of the above compositions to produce an antistatic finish in polyamide, polyacrylonitrile and cotton poplin fabrics.
