  • Process for coagulating lacquers and the like
    Patent number: 4933091
    Abstract: Removal of wet overspray from lacquer or similar water insoluble coatings by predominantly aqueous cleaning liquids is improved by including in the cleaning liquids as a coagulation agent a salt of a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid that contains 8 to 25% by weight of acrylic acid units and 92 to 75% by weight of ethylene units in its acid form.

  • Process for the preparation of 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane
    Patent number: 4927946
    Abstract: Unpurified 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol is used as the starting material for a process for the preparation of 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane from 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol without the use of an organic solvent on an industrial scale. This is carried out in such a way that in a first stage a mixture of bromine and aqueous hydrogen bromide solution is cooled and an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or an alkaline-earth metal salt of 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol is added at such a rate that, with cooling, the maximum reaction temperature does not exceed 30.degree. C., and then in a second reaction stage paraformaldehyde and sulfuric acid are added, left to react above room temperature, and the organic phase separated.
