Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for purifying N-vinylformamide capable of producing high-quality N-vinylformamide for making a polymer having especially high molecular weight having a K value by Fikentscher's method larger than 200. SOLUTION: This N-vinylformamide distillate is obtained by fractional distillation of N-formamide using a column under reduced pressure. The distillation is continuously carried out in the presence of formamide under 0.5-30 millibar measured at the top of the column. The distillation is controlled so that N- vinylformamide having 1-6wt.% formamide content as the distillate is obtained to give the objective N-vinylformamide for producing an N-vinylformamide polymer having a K value larger than 200, containing 1-6wt.% formamide.
Abstract:
Water-soluble copolymers containing copolymerized vinylamine units are prepared by copolymerizing (a) from 95 to 10 mol % of N-vinylformamide and (b) from 5 to 90 mol % of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer from the group consisting of vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, C1-C4-alkyl vinyl ethers, the esters, nitriles and amides of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid and N-vinylpyrrolidone, and then eliminating from 30 to 100 mol % of the formyl groups from the copolymer. Preferred copolymers are copolymers of N-vinylformamide and vinyl acetate, in which from 30 to 100 mol % of the monomer units are hydrolyzed. The copolymers are used in papermaking to increase the dry strength and wet strength of the paper.

Abstract:
PROCESS FOR DRESSING LEATHER AND SYNTHETIC LEATHER SUBSTITUTES BY APPLYING TO THE LEATHER A COMPOSITION COMPRISING (A) A COPOLYMER CARRYING ACETYL ACETATE GROUPS OR CYANO ACETATE GROUPS, IN THE FORM OF A SOLUTION OR DISPERSION IN AN ORGANIC LIQUID, AND (B) ONE OR MORE ALDEHYDES OR A COMPOUND CAPABLE OF DISSOCIATING TO GIVE AN ALKEHYDE, AND DRYING THE COATING. THE RESULTING DRESSING IS WATERPROOF AND RESISTANT TO SOLVENTS.
