Abstract: Process for the preparation of polymer dispersions with particle diameters of 50 to 1000 nm, wherein there are employed, as emulsifiers for the emulsion polymerization citric acid derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## in which, independently of one another, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote C.sub.6 -C.sub.20 -alkyl, (including cycloalkyl) hydrogen, sodium, potassium, lithium or ammonium andR.sub.4 denotes hydrogen or acetyl,with the proviso that at least one of the radicals R.sub.1 to R.sub.3 denotes alkyl, and as initiators water-soluble agents which form free radicals or redox systems with at least one water-soluble component.

Abstract: Aminosuccinic acid derivatives corresponding to the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms which may be branched and/or interupted by one or more oxygen atoms;n represents the number 2 or 3; andK represents hyrogen or a cation;a process for their preparation and their use.

Abstract: New sulfosuccinamic acids and derivatives thereof corresonding to the following formula ##STR1## in which R represents a linear or branches, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms or a group of the formula R.sup.4 --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --(R.sup.4 =C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl), R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent hydrogen or --SO.sub.3 M.sup.1 and R.sup.3 represents a group corresponding to the formula; ##STR2## or to the forumla ##STR3## n is an integer of from 2 to 4 and M and M.sup.1 independently of one another represent hydrogen or an alkali metal, an ammonium, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylammonium or C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 hydroxyalkylammonium group and their use as surfactants and emulsifiers in aqueous systems.

Abstract: The dyeing of cellulose fibres or fibre blends containing cellulose fibres with reactive dyes by a cold pad-batch or pad-steam process is effected with aqueous padding liquors which contain water-soluble reaction products of copolymers of maleic anhydride and ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, diisobutylene or styrene with ammonia or amines of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 stand for hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new dyeing process based on the exhaustion principle. It is characterized in that dyeing liquors are used which, in addition to the dyestuff or dyestuff mixture, contain one or more salts, at least one compound having a glycidyl radical and, if appropriate, further auxiliaries.

Abstract: Phosphonic acid esters of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent optionally halogen-substituted alkyl or together with --O--P--O-- form a five-membered to seven-membered heterocyclic structure,X represents oxygen or ##STR2## wherein R.sub.4 represents hydrogen or alkyl,R represents alkylene with 1 - 4 carbon atoms andA represents alkylene or 1,2-phenylene, which is optionally substituted by halogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl and is required to complete a five-membered to seven-membered ring system,Are suitable as flameproofing agents for textiles, plastics and paper.
