Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing a pigment-organic vehicle product, commonly referred to as "flush" by those versed in the art, which comprises forcing a pigment-containing aqueous pulp-organic vehicle mixture through a chamber comprising a set of at least two adjoining partial cylindrical surfaces, said chamber having defined at one end thereof at least one axial opening and at least one second opening spaced from the axial opening. The mixture is forced through the chamber and axial opening by a set of at least two rotating helical surfaces whereby the product is extruded through the axial openings. The water exits from the chamber through the second opening or openings.

Abstract: A method of forming soluble collagen fibers from raw animal hides is disclosed. Raw animal hides are treated with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide and a dehydrating agent to remove the hair and fat therefrom to yield a substantially fat-free corium. The interfibular bonds of the collagen in the corium are stabilized with an aqueous solution of an alkali sulfate. The corium is neutralized and dissolved in an aqueous acid solution to yield a collagen solution. The pH of the aqueous collagen solution is adjusted to the isoelectric point of the collagen to precipitate the collagen fibers from the solution. The collagen fibers are dried. The collagen fibers so produced are useful in edible food, may be redissolved and further processed for a plurality of uses.

Abstract: For coloring in the mass and spin dyeing water-insoluble thermoplastic polymers and polycondensates, especially polyesters, nickel complex disazomethine compounds are used consisting of 2 molecules of 2-hydroxy-naphthaldehyde possibly substituted in 6-position by halogen, cyano, carboxy, a carboxylic acid alkyl ester or an optionally substituted carboxylic acid amide group, and 1 molecule of an o-phenylene diamine possibly substituted in 4 and 5-position by non-ionic substituents, the nickel atoms being bound in complex manner to the nitrogen atoms of the phenylene diamine and the oxyen atoms of the hydroxynaphthaldehyde. Disazomethine compounds in which the phenylene diamine radical is unsubstituted if the hydroxynaphthaldehyde radical is not substituted in 6-position are excluded. The coloring compounds can be added to the polymeric material without previous dispersion. They dissolved in said material in molecular disperse form so that generally brilliant and clear colorations are obtained.
