Abstract: The invention relates to side-chain-modified copolymer waxes consisting of long-chain olefins, acrylic acid esters, acrylic acid and/or acrylic acid amides, said waxes being characterised in that they are produced from wax-like copolymers of long-chain ?-olefins comprising between 18 and 60 C atoms, acrylic acid methyl esters, acrylic acid and/or acrylic acid amides, the carboxyl functionality thereof having been modified by chemical reaction with nucleophilic constituents. The invention also relates to a method for producing such copolymer waxes and to the use of the same.

Abstract: Mixtures of finely ground waxes, including two or more components A, B, C, and/or D, wherein ester waxes are used as component A, amide waxes are used as component B, hydrocarbon waxes are used as component C, and oxidized long-chain hydrocarbon waxes are used as component D. The mixtures of the present invention are useful as additives in printing inks, coatings, plastics and crop-protection formulations; as a lubricant in plastics, and as a pigment dispersant.

Abstract: The invention provides for the use of mixtures of waxes which comprise a) a homopolymer or copolymer of C2-C18 &agr;-olefins, prepared by means of metallocene catalysis, and, as auxiliaries, one or more other waxes selected from the group consisting of b) PE waxes, c) PTFE waxes, d) PP waxes, e) amide waxes, f) FT paraffins, g) montan waxes, h) natural waxes, i) macrocrystalline and microcrystalline paraffins, j) polar polyolefin waxes, or k) sorbitan esters for improving the properties of coating materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to surface-modified phosphinic salts of the formula (I) and/or diphosphinic salts of the formula (II) and/or polymers of these, 1

Abstract: The present specification relates to wax blends comprising partial esters of polyols and montan wax acid, hydrocarbon wax, long-chain carboxylic acids and long-chain alcohols and to their use. With such blends it is possible, without water-soluble emulsifier and permanent soaps, to produce aqueous pastes which can be applied in use to leather surfaces to give water-resistant, non-tacky, elastic films without gray break. The drying times are shorter than with the known formulations, and the dried coat applied can easily be polished to highly glossy films.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wax mixture comprising a) 10-80% by weight of partial esters of polyols with carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid mixtures having a chain length of C16-C36; b) 0-30% by weight of partial esters of polyols with polybasic carboxylic acids having a chain length of C4-C36; and c) 20-90% by weight of alkaline earth metal soaps of the abovementioned carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid mixtures, with the proviso that 1,2-ethanediol and 1,3-butanediol are excluded. The wax mixtures are highly suitable for the preparation of solvent pastes as a single component or in combination with synthetic, natural or semi-synthetic wax-like products, as lubricants or release agents in plastic or metal processing, and for the preparation of microfine wax powders.

Abstract: Copolymers which have been prepared by copolymerization of long-chain .alpha.-olefins with olefinically unsaturated acids and esters and, if appropriate, vinyl-aromatic compounds are particularly suitable for economical preparation of aqueous emulsions. The emulsions are suitable as care agents for flooring, automobiles, furniture and leather and for hydrophobizing, for treatment of textiles, for coating glass, for anticorrosive preservation, for example of automobiles, as facade protection and for sealing concrete.

Abstract: Copolymers prepared by free radical polymerization of a C.sub.12 --C.sub.60 -.alpha.-olefin with a carboxylic acid of the formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CR.sup.1 --COOH, a carboxylic acid ester of the formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CR.sup.1 --COOR.sup.2 and, if appropriate, a styrene compound prove to be highly active lubricants and release agents in polymers, in particular in polyvinyl chloride, which scarcely influence the transparency of the polymers.
