Described are anionic surfactants which are made by (1) reacting maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid or mixtures thereof with at least one selected poly (oxyalkylated) alcohol in the presence of a peroxy-type free radical initiator to form a carboxylic acid group-containing addition product and (2) neutralizing said addition product with a sufficient amount of a neutralizing agent to convert at least a major proportion of said carboxylic acid groups to salt groups. These surfactants exhibit excellent surface activity as well as being highly soluble in caustic solutions.
所述阴离子表面活性剂是通过以下方法制成的:(1) 在过氧型自由基
引发剂的存在下,
马来酸、
富马酸、
衣康酸或其混合物与至少一种选定的聚(氧烷基化)醇反应,形成含
羧酸基团的加成产物;(2) 用足量的中和剂中和所述加成产物,使所述
羧酸基团的至少大部分转化为盐基。这些表面活性剂具有极佳的表面活性,在苛性溶液中的溶解度也很高。
