  • Patent number: 9701893
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for mineral oil extraction by means of Winsor type III microemulsion flooding, in which an aqueous surfactant formulation comprising at least three ionic surfactants which are different with regard to the alkyl moiety (R1)(R2)—CH—CH2— and are of the general formula (R1)(R2)—CH—CH2—O-(D)n-(B)m-(A)l-XYa?a/bMb+ is injected through injection boreholes into a mineral oil deposit, and crude oil is withdrawn from the deposit through production boreholes. The invention further relates to surfactant formulations of ionic surfactants of the general formula.

  • Publication number: 20010027234
    Abstract: The invention relates to transparent, undiscolored and uncrosslinked, radiation-curable binders of low additive content, obtainable by polymer-analogous reaction of epoxy-functional (meth)acrylate copolymers (A) with an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid (B), the reaction a) of the copolymer (A) taking place with at least 2 equivalents of the carboxylic acid (B), b) in the absence of reaction accelerators and inhibitors, c) in a continuously operated reactor, d) without solvent, e) at from 130 to 170° C., f) with a degree of conversion of at least 90% within an average residence time which is as short as possible but sufficient, and which is below 13 to 22 minutes. The reaction products contain virtually no byproducts and are advantageous binders for clearcoat materials and powder coating materials.
