Abstract: A radiation-curable urethane(meth)acrylate, a process for preparing a radiation-curable urethane(meth)acrylate, and a coating composition comprising a radiation-curable urethane(meth)acrylate, in which the radiation-curable urethane(meth)acrylate is tough and resilient and useful in coating systems for a variety of substrates.

Abstract: Disclosed arm solid pigment preparations containing (A) 60 to 95 per weight of at least one pigment, (B) 5 to 40 percent by weight of at least one water-soluble anionic surface-active additive from the group of the homopolymers and copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids and/or ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids which can additionally contain monopolymerized vinyl monomers having no acid function, the alkoxylation products of said homopolymers and copolymers, and the salts of said homopolymers and copolymers and the alkoxylation products thereof, and (C) 0 to 20 percent by weight of at least one nonionic surface-active polyether-based additive as essential components. Also disclosed are a method for the production thereof and methods for dyeing macromolecular organic and inorganic materials.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of polymers by free-radical polymerization from (a) ethylenically unsaturated monomers and (b) polyalkylene oxide-containing silicone derivatives, where the polymerization is carried out in the presence of alkanethiols having a carbon chain length of from C 10 to C 12.
