Abstract: A self-pumping hydropneumatic suspension strut includes a high pressure area and a low pressure area, wherein pressurized medium is exchanged between the high pressure area and the low pressure area via a passive pump device. At least two separate channel systems with connection orifices which determine level position and are controlled depending on the position of a piston rod are provided between the high pressure area and the low pressure area. One of the channel systems can be blocked by a valve device, and wherein the suspension strut has a displacing device with a spring seat for a supporting spring. The displacing device is operated via the working movement of the piston rod.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the fluid-phase synthesis of a polymer formed from n monomers.

Abstract: The invention is a process for degreasing animal skins in which the animal skin to be degreased is contacted with a mixture of a predominantly saturated C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty alcohol ethoxylate having an average of not more than 15 EO groups and a predominantly saturated C.sub.6-10 fatty alcohol ethoxylate having an average of not more than 3 EO groups.

Abstract: A method for imparting hydrophobicity and softness to leather and skins comprising treatment thereof with at least one sulfosuccinic acid monoamide of the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R' are, independently, H or a C.sub.12-24 alkyl, andone of x or y is SO.sub.2 and the other is H; either alone, or in sequence or simultaneously with at least one other hydrophobicizing agent, at least one impregnating agent, or at least one neutral oil; as well as a composition having the above ingredients.

Abstract: A process for leather tanning having the improvement of imparting waterproof properties to the leather by incorporating a sulfosuccinic monoester in the fatliquor.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing waterproof leathers and skins by tanning, retanning, dyeing, stuffing, and fixing which is characterized in that, after tanning and, optionally, dyeing, stuffing agents (A) in the form of oxidized or oxidized and partly sulfonated long-chain hydrocarbons of waxes and impregnating agents (B) in the form of copolymers or from 60 to 95 mol percent of (meth) acrylic acid and from 5 to 40 mol percent of an ester, amide or nitrile of (meth) acrylic acid having a molecular weight of from 800 to 10,000 in salt form are successively used in the same bath, followed by acidification, fixing and finishing. The co-use of the impregnating agents (B) with the particular stuffing agents (A) results in much greater degree of resistance to water penetration than that obtained by the use of the stuffing agent (A), alone.
