Abstract: A process for making the known fungicide intermediate 2-(4-chlorophenyl ethyl)-2-tert.-butyloxirane of the formula ##STR1## comprising (a) mixing a solution of trimethylsulphonium bromide of the formula(CH.sub.3).sub.3 S.sup..sym. Br.sup..crclbar. (II)in a methanol/toluene mixture with preheated toluene and simultaneously distilling off a methanol/toluene mixture at a temperature between 65.degree. and 110.degree. C. until a suspension having a solids content between 10 and 70% by weight is formed, and(b) reacting the suspension of trimethylsulphonium bromide in toluene thus obtained with 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethylpentan-3-one of the formula ##STR2## in the presence of solid potassium hydroxide, diethylene glycol and water at a temperature between 20.degree. and 120.degree. C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the continuous production of aqueous polyurethane dispersions, i.e. dispersions or suspensions both of pure polyurethanes and of polyurethane ureas, by mixing a product, which has been obtained by reaction of polyisocyanates with compounds having a molecular weight of 400 to about 10,000 and containing at least two isocyanate-reactive groups, with water, characterized in that the mixing of the polyisocyanate reaction product with water is carried out in a co-current reactor, one of the components to be mixed or a mixture containing one of the two components to be mixed being compressed to an initilal pressure of from about 20 to 500 bar and expanded through a coaxially arranged nozzle into the short residence time mixing tube where it is mixed with the other component or with a mixture containing the other component.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a method for improving the water storage capacity of textile substrates, particularly fleece based artificial leathers by treatment with a hydrophilizing agent. This agent, once applied to the substrate is insoluble in but swellable in water. The agent in an uncross-linked state is water soluble and has a turbidity point of between about 25.degree. and 95.degree. C. in a 25% aqueous solution. The agent may be applied to the substrate from aqueous solution and then cross-linked or it may be applied to an inert carrier such as kaolin, cross-linked and applied to the substrate from an aqueous suspension. A particularly suitable agent is a polyether with a molecular weight of between 500 and 8500, an ethylene oxide content of about 35 to 80 wt. % and cross-linkable end groups. The end groups may be self cross-linking such as vinyl groups or they may be cross-linkable via a cross-linking promoter such as hexamethylol melamine.
