Abstract: Novel fluorescent polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) colorants are provided. The colorants are strongly fluorescing and long lasting with excellent light stability. The novel colorants can be prepared from chromophores found in common pigments and provide a simple way to convert an insoluble pigment into a soluble fluorescent colorant.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to polymeric compounds comprising a main backbone derived from at least the following monomeric components: (I) 20 to 99.9% by weight, preferably 50% to 99% by weight, of at least one cationic monomer according to formula (I), and (II) 0.1 to 80% by weight of a hydrophobic unsaturated nonionic monomer that polymerizes in the presence of an initiator, optionally a water-soluble monomer (III) different from either monomer (I) and monomer (II), and optionally a crosslinking agent (IV). Said compounds are particularly useful to overcome the problem of dye bleeding and/or dye transfer in laundry processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coating having a thickness of from 5 to 25 ?m, comprising a high-molecular-weight organic material and from 5 to 9 g/m2 colored pigments, wherein, based on the total amount of colored pigments, (a) from 30 to 90% by weight of 3,6-di(4?-biphenyl)-2,5-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,4-c]-pyrrole-1,4-dione having a specific surface area of from 20 to 50 m2/g and (b) from 10 to 70% by weight of a further organic colored pigment, selected from the series consisting of quinacridone, diketo-pyrrolo[3,4-c]-pyrrole, dioxazine, indanthrone, perylene, phthalocyanine and 3-amino-1H-isoindol-1-one-oximatometal complex pigments and solid solutions and mixtures thereof, are present.
