Abstract:
A mixture of a long-chain unsaturated dimer or oligomer fatty acid and of a C6-C12 fatty acid is used as a solubilizer for non-ionic surface active agents in alkaline aqueous solutions.
Abstract:
A mixture is disclosed of at least two alkoxylated alcohols and having the formula (I), in which x is a number between 1 and 12 and y is a number between 1 and 15. One alkoxylated alcohol has as residue R a straight-chain or branched-chain C8-C18-alkyl group and the other alkoxylated alcohol has as residue R a straight-chain or branched-chain C10-C20-alkyl group, but the average number of C atoms in the residues R must differ by at least 0.5, whereas the ratio between both alkoxylated alcohols is comprised between 10 : 90 and 90 : 10. This mixture is suitable as an antifoam tenside additive in cleaning products for machine washing processes.
Abstract:
- 29 - O.Z. 0050/41484 Homopolymers and copolymers of monoethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids of K 7 - 50 which are useful as additives in textile and dishwashing detergent compositions in amounts of from 0.1 to 15% by weight are obtained by free radical polymerization of (a) monoethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, (b) hydroxy-C2-C4-alkyl (meht)acrylates and optionally (c) other water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated monomers at a degree of neutralization of the acid group-contain-ing monomers during the polymerization of from 52 to 70%, and contain not more than 1.5% by weight of unpolymerized dicarboxylic acid.
