Abstract: Compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which R is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms;R.sub.1 is aryl;R.sub.2 is branched alkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms; andtheir use as insecticides and nematocides, e.g., in controlling corn rootworm and southern armyworm.
Abstract: A coating formulation comprises an oil-in-water emulsion of a solution of epoxy resin or capped epoxy resin in an alkoxy alcohol, such as 2-hexoxyethanol, as the dispersed phase, a curing agent, and a water-dispersible epoxy resin emulsifier. The emulsion is stable and has spreading and wetting properties over low energy and lubricated surfaces and aluminum, thus yielding films free from surface imperfections.
Abstract: There is provided a stable paste comprising a diethanolamide of a fatty acid having 12-16 carbon atoms, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and water. In another embodiment, this paste is admixed with a paste of the diethanolamide, sodium chloride, and a saturated solution of sodium chloride. Both formulations can be used full strength for scrubbing stubborn stains, scuff marks and the like and diluted for cleaning surfaces, such as floors and walls.
