Patent number: 6726798Abstract: The invention relates to polystyrene binders modified by fatty compounds. The fatty compounds used are, in particular, esters of fatty acids or fatty alcohols, more especially triglycerides of higher fatty acids, preferably natural fats and oils. They may be added to the binder in high concentrations without adversely affecting the properties of the binder. However, their addition is of advantage in regard to the wetting properties, resistance to water and, above all, hardness. Dispersion adhesives, hotmelt adhesives and sealing compounds in particular can be improved with the binders according to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1998Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Henkel Kommanditgesellschaft auf AktienInventors: Kai Boege, Michael Dziallas, Klaus Helpenstein, Wolfgang Klauck, Johann Klein, Helmut Loth, Hartmut Urbath, Udo Windhoevel

Patent number: 6719811Abstract: The use of indolines of formula (I): in which R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 independently of one another represent hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl groups, or R4 and R5 together with the oxygen atoms to which they are attached may represent an alkylenedioxy group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or their salts, as oxidation dye precursors gives natural brown hair colorings. The indolines of formula (I) are also suitable as couplers in oxidation hair dyes with a conventional primary intermediate, in which they result in a modification of the tints obtainable with the primary intermediate. They are used in conventional carriers, e.g., in gel or emulsion form, preferably mixed before use or on the hair with an oxidizing agent to develop the color.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1992Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Henkel Kommanditgesellschaft auf AktienInventors: Guenther Konrad, Iduna Matzik, Edgar Lieske

Patent number: 6716799Abstract: The invention relates to the use of linear and/or branched fatty alcohols containing at least 12 carbon atoms in the molecule and/or to the use of mixtures of such fatty alcohols with carboxylic acid esters as a lubricating additive in water-based drilling fluids for their use in geological exploration by drilling. The fatty-alcohol-based lubricants or lubricant systems are particularly suitable for use in water-based alkali metal silicate drilling muds which are known to be distinguished by comparatively high pH values. The additives according to the invention combine their lubricating effect with a foam-suppressing effect, i.e. prevent unwanted foaming.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1999Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Cognis Deutschland GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Heinz Mueller, Claus-Peter Herold, Stephan Von Tapavicza

Patent number: 6705142Abstract: A process for the cutting or non-cutting forming of metals using two cooling lubricants, wherein an oil or a first emulsion having an oil content of at least 10 wt. % is applied to the workpiece, as a first cooling lubricant, at the tribo-zone and, at the same time, an oil-free cooling lubricant or a second emulsion that is an oil-in-water emulsion having an oil content of less than 10 wt. % is applied, as a second cooling lubricant, adjacent to the tribo-zone. Depending on the metal-working technique, a two-component nozzle is preferably used for supplying the first and second cooling lubricants, the jet of second cooling lubricant surrounding the jet of first cooling lubricant concentrically. Alternatively, it is possible to supply the first cooling lubricant directly to the tribo-zone through channels in the tool, while the second cooling lubricant is applied at the periphery.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Henkel Kommanditgesellschaft auf AktienInventors: Hartmut Rieger, Daniel Juzl
