Abstract: The present invention relates to antifouling compositions comprising copper di(ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate) (Cu(ETFAA)2) that are highly effective against marine biofouling of surfaces of ships and marine structures, their use for inhibiting marine biofouling, as well as antifouling paints comprising said compositions.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for the preparation of potassium 5-iodo-2-carboxybenzene sulfonate by diazotization of 5-amino-2-carboxybenzene sulfonate and subsequent reaction with KI.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of phenyl ketones and the preparation of phenoxyphenyl derivatives.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for preparation of an acetoacetylated polyol by reaction of a polyol with deketene in the presence of a base and in the absence of a solvent.

Abstract: Described is a high-concentrate flowable liquid anionic surfactant composition containing an alkyl ether sulfate and a viscosity modifier(s). The composition avoids the highly viscous gel phase that occurs when concentrated anionic surfactants are diluted with an aqueous solvent. Also described, is a personal care composition of the high-concentrate flowable liquid anionic surfactant composition.

Abstract: A bulk moulding compound comprising one or more cyanate ester, a catalyst, a filler and reinforcement fibres is provide, whereby the one or more cyanate ester is independently selected from a difunctional cyanate ester compound and/or a polyfunctional cyanate ester and mixtures of these cyanate esters. Furthermore, the catalyst is independently selected from the group consisting of 4,4? methylene-bis(2,6-diethylaniline) (M-DEA), 4,4?-methylene-bis(3-chloro-2,6-diethyl¬aniline) (M-CDEA), aluminum(III)acetylacetonate, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for fluoroalkylation of enamines with a fluoro alkyl halide in the presence of a base.
