Abstract: A continuous process for the production of mono- or dicarboxylic acid alkyl amides is described, which is characterized in that: fresh mono- or dicarboxylic acid is placed into a first reactor (R1) connected with a distillation column (C1) and subjected to a reaction with ammonia or gaseous alkyl amine to form a pre-mixture consisting of mono- or dicarboxylic acid alkyl amide and unreacted mono- or dicarboxylic acid, while the water of condensation is distilled off; said pre-mixture is transferred into a second reactor (R2) also equipped with a distillation column (C2) and subjected to a further reaction with ammonia or gaseous alkyl amine to substantially convert all unreacted mono- or dicarboxylic acid into mono- or dicarboxylic acid alkyl amide; and all unreacted ammonia or gaseous alkyl amine is transferred into the first reactor (R1) to start the amidation reaction.

Abstract: A cardboard tube, with respect to a narrow marginal end area of the same provided with a hollow interior roll, is applied against a rotatory die which has a concave surface suitable for forming an entrant perimetric step by means of constriction of the narrow marginal area. The diameter of the riser thereof is equal to the interior diameter of the cardboard tube. At the same time, against the interior hollow roll is applied a force of enough intensity to flatten the cavity of the interior hollow roll and apply the wall thereof against the interior face of the wall of the cantilevered end of the cardboard tube formed by the action of its rotatory die.

Abstract: The invention relates to degreasing compositions comprising at least one dialkyl amide of formula (I), R1CO—NR2R3, in which R1CO represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic, optionally hydroxysubstituted acyl group having 2 to 56 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 independently represent alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The compositions are useful for degreasing hard surfaces, particularly metal surfaces.
