Abstract: The invention relates to a novel amylolytic enzyme extracted from the micro-organism Bacillus sp. A 7-7 (DSM 12368), to sufficiently similar proteins having an amylolytic function, to methods for the production thereof and to diverse fields of application for these proteins. In addition, they can be further developed beyond the implemented fields of application for other, above all, technical purposes. The invention particularly relates to washing and cleaning agents containing amylolytic proteins of the aforementioned type, to methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces that involve the use of such amylolytic proteins or analogous agents, and to their use for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces.

Abstract: The invention is a composition and method for treating paint booth water systems to facilitate paint removal. The composition comprises water, solid particles of insoluble organic polymer, such as, by way of non-limiting example, urea methanal copolymer, preferably including less than 50 weight percent of particles of diameter of 1 micron or less, and optionally surfactants, thickeners, polymeric flocculents different from the organic polymer, clarifiers, anti-corrosive components, and/or biocides.
Abstract: An aqueous coating removal composition containing: a) an alkoxylated aromatic alcohol, b) an amine; and c) an inorganic base is provided. The coating removal compositions are useful in cleaning coatings such as paint from substrate surfaces and may be formulated to be essentially free (or, preferably, entirely free) of organic solvents classified as volatile organic compounds or HAPS.
Abstract: A preparation for coloring keratin fibers containing dyes and/or dye precursors, at least one silicone oil and/or silicone gum and at least one polymer which contains at least one monomer unit corresponding to formula (I): in which n is a number of 1 to 3 and Y is a physiologically compatible anion. Also disclosed is a method of applying this preparation to keratin fibers.

Abstract: A flushing composition comprising 50% to 95% by weight n-butanol, 0.1% to 3% by weight of a primary amine alkoxylate, and one or more secondary solvents. The flushing composition can also include 0.005% to 0.5% by weight of an aminated organic fatty acid compound formed from the addition of an organic fatty acid. The flushing compositions can be used to remove coatings that adhere to spray coating equipment.

Abstract: A protective coating is formed on a metallic surface by contacting the surface with an aqueous solution of fluorometallate followed by an aqueous solution containing vanadate ions. The process does not require the use of any organic substances, but provides a corrosion resistant surface having good heat conductivity.
Abstract: There are provided compositions for improving the washfastness and color intensity of colored fibers, especially keratin fibers, which comprise a) at least one sugar surfactant chosen from the group consisting of alkyl and alkenyl oligoglycosides or fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamides and b) at least one fatty acid partial glyceride.

Abstract: Water-soluble or water-dispersible hotmelt adhesives are prepared using graft copolymers produced by graft copolymerizing olefinically unsaturated monomers onto polyalkylene oxides. The adhesives additionally contain at least one resin which improves tackiness and the compatibility of the adhesive components. Other components such as polymers, plasticizers, and additives may also be present. The adhesives are especially suited for use in the labelling of recyclable or reuseable hollow containers. The adhesive may be completely separated from the hollow containers and dissolved in an alkaline washing liquor even at low temperatures.

Abstract: To obtain an adhesive having both a high initial adhesive capacity and high heat resistance, a fusible adhesive which can be cross-linked by radiation and a low tendency to creep is provided. The adhesive contains 0 to 40 weight percent of at least one elastomer which cannot be cross-linked by radiation, 15 to 40 weight percent of at least one compound containing at least two olefinic double bonds, and 20 to 85 weight percent of at least one tackifier. The adhesive is especially suitable for use on high speed labeling machines.
