Abstract: The invention relates to the use of compounds of the general formula (VII) as stabilizers in the preparation of polyurethane foams.

Abstract: The invention provides hydroxyl-containing surfactants with low surface tension and provides for their use as surfactants in aqueous coating formulations, the surfactants being preparable by reacting one or more epoxides of formula (I) with at least one hydroxy compound of formula (II) and/or at least one, or two or more, amine(s) of formula (III) reacted in preferably either approximately equivalent amounts of hydroxy and/or amino groups with epoxide groups, or with an excess of hydroxy or amine hydrogen atoms, respectively.

Abstract: The invention relates to a catalytic system for the dehydrogenative condensation of polyorganosiloxanes with alcohols, consisting of at least one boron compound and at least one synergistically active compound, and to a process for converting polyorganosiloxanes, in which one hydrogen atom bonded to the silicon is replaced by an alkoxide radical using the inventive catalytic system.

Abstract: The invention provides low surface tension surfactants based on ether alcohol and provides for their use as surfactants in aqueous coating formulations, said surfactants being preparable by reacting at least one hydroxy compound of formula (I): with at least one epoxide of formula (II): and/or at least one epoxide of formula (V): in substantially equivalent amounts of hydroxyl and epoxide groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of compounds of the general formula (VII) in which R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are identical or different radicals selected from linear or branched, saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl radicals having 1 to 20, in particular 1 to 10, carbon atoms, haloalkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, siloxy groups and triorganosiloxy groups, in particular where each of the organo moieties independently having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or is phenyl; R6 is at least one radical selected from the group consisting of CH2—CH2—(CH2)a-A or CH?CH—(CH2)a-A, where a is an integer between 0 and 10; and A is a radical which is selected from polyoxyalkylene radicals or linear, branched or cyclic, saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl radicals having 1 to 100, in particular 1 to 50, carbon atoms, which optionally contain hetero atoms; Z is a triorganosilyl radical, in particular where each of the organo moieties ind
