Abstract: Novel colloid dispersion mixtures as protective colloid for aqueous emulsion polymerization, processes for preparing them and their use.The present invention relates to novel colloid dispersion mixtures comprising a water-soluble monomer and a water-insoluble comonomer, to processes for their preparation and to their use as protective colloid for emulsion polymerization.
Abstract: In the process and the apparatus, a gas stream is divided into three partial gas streams. The first partial gas stream transports the material to be ground into the grinding and friction space of a mill (26), while the second partial gas stream runs around the friction space in the mill. The third partial gas stream is connected to the output side of the mill and takes up the reduced and dried ground material, transported out of the mill by the first and second partial gas streams, in order to transport it to a separator (30).
Abstract: A polymer dispersion having a minimum film-forming temperature in the range from 0 to 40.degree. C., which is useful in coating compositions for substrates, in the form of varnishes or gloss paints, is obtained by stepwise emulsion polymerization, which includes polymerizing, onto a first stage having the monomer composition I comprising: from 50 to 68.5% by weight of soft monomers A whose homopolymers have a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) below 0.degree. C.; from 30 to 50% by weight of hard monomers B whose homopolymers have a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) above 65.degree. C.; from 0.5 to 5% by weight of .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acids and/or carboxamides C which are copolymerizable with A and B; from 1 to 7.
Abstract: Water-soluble, nonionic cellulose ethers selected from the group consisting of alkylcelluloses and hydroxyalkylcelluloses having an average degree of polymerization of less than 900 which is substituted by, on average, from 0.01 to 0.04 2-propenyl groups per anhydroglucose unit are used as protective colloids in the preparation of aqueous polymer dispersions.

Abstract: A silicone release polyester film coated with an aqueous silicone coating composition on one surface. The aqueous silicone release coating composition is made up of an alkylvinylpolysiloxane containing vinyl groups, a tin or platinum catalyst, a glycidoxysilane and an alkylhydrogenpolysiloxane. A process for coating a polyester film with the aqueous silicone coating composition is also disclosed, where the coating occurs in-line, disclosing the manufacturing process for the film before it is heat-set. The silicone release coated polyester film has an acceptable release value when subjected to solvents or heat.

Abstract: The invention is a method of producing a melt spun synthetic polymeric filament which has the superior deep dyeability thereof. The method includes the steps of application of a dye dispersed in water to the filaments during the drawing of the filament, and heat setting the surface dyed filaments to uniformly diffuse the dye throughout the total cross section of the filaments.
Abstract: An improved polyester/polyamide composite fiber is provided. The composite fiber includes a polyamide component generally considered to lack compatibility with a polyester component. Advantageously, the composite fiber includes an adhesion-promoting polymer in an amount effective to provide adhesion of the polyamide component to the polyester component. The composite fiber beneficially provides strength and cost advantages.
Abstract: Organic polymer surfaces are modified by contacting such surfaces with a haloester compound and a cationic compound of having a pK.sub.a >5. Preferably the organic polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyesters, aromatic polyamides, and graphitic polymers and the contacting is conducted at an elevated temperature.
