Abstract: Sulfosuccinate diesters in which one carboxyl group of the sulfosuccinate is esterified with an ethoxylated or propoxylated non-tertiary monoamine, for instance, a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 fatty amine, ethoxylated with 3 or 4 moles of ethylene oxide, to form a hydroxyl-containing tertiary amine, and in which the other carboxyl group of the sulfosuccinate is esterified with an .alpha.-monoepoxide such as propylene oxide, or higher .alpha.-monoepoxides, and method of preparation of such sulfosuccinate diesters. The said sulfosuccinate diesters have utility as surfactants, such as detergents and emulsifiers.

Abstract: Acid esters of propylene oxide poly-adducts and their salts, which are obtained by an addition reaction of(a) propylene oxide with(b) a polyfunction amine, which contains 2 to 9 carbon atoms and at least a second reactive amino group or at least one hydroxyl group, and esterification of the poly-adduct with(c) an oxy-acid which is at least dibasic or with a functional derivative of this acid and, if appropriate, by conversion of the resulting acid ester into a salt.These acid esters of propylene oxide poly-adducts are particularly effective as dyeing auxiliaries, especially as dispersing and levelling agents for dyeing synthetic fibres and primarily for dyeing linear polyester fibres.

Abstract: Addition products of water-soluble sulfites or disulfites to maleic acid mono- or diesters of partially fluorinated alkanols or the mono-, di- or triethyleneglycol ethers of these alcohols are useful as surface active agents, especially as wetting agents, as levelling agents in wax emulsions or as dispersants.

Abstract: Sulfosuccinate ester-amides in which one carboxyl group of the sulfosuccinate is amidified with an aliphatic non-tertiary amine, for instance, a C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 aliphatic amine such as octyl or dodecyl amine, and in which the other carboxyl group of the sulfosuccinate is esterified by reaction with an .alpha.-monoepoxide such as propylene oxide, or higher .alpha.-monoepoxides, and method of preparation of such sulfosuccinate ester-amides.

Abstract: Unsymmetrical sulfosuccinate diesters in which one carboxyl group of the sulfosuccinate is esterified with an alcohol, for instance, a C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 aliphatic monohydric such as octyl or dodecyl alcohol, or with an ethoxylated or propoxylated alkyl phenol, and in which the other carboxyl group is esterified by reaction with an .alpha.-monoepoxide such as propylene oxide, or higher .alpha.-epoxides. The said diesters have utility as surfactants, such as detergents and emulsifiers.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of bisulfite-terminated oligomers as dispersants for solid particulate matter, i.e., low molecular weight bisulfite-terminated polymers containing carboxylate groups and either cyano or carbomethoxy moieties are improved dispersants for solid particulate matter like pigments such as titanium dioxide, clay, calcium carbonate, talc, and zinc oxide, as well as for organic pigments. Particularly, these dispersants have been found useful for stabilizing paper coating compositions.

Abstract: Novel sulfosuccinates of 2-hydroxy alkyl tertiary alcohol amines having the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of 8 to 24, preferably 10 to 20 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is an alkyl or alkylol (hydroxy substituted alkyl) radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R.sub.3 is an alkylol radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and salts thereof. The reaction mixture consists of sulfonated mono-, di-, and/or tri-esters, depending on the number of reactive hydroxyl groups in the alcoholamine and the amount of dicarboxylic acid utilized. These novel esters and salts thereof uniquely possess both detergency and softening properties.
