Abstract: The invention relates to water-in-oil polymer dispersions consisting of a continuous organic phase and water-soluble polymers finely distributed therein, wherein said polymers have a radical monomer content of less than 1,000 ppm. The invention also relates to a method for producing the inventive polymer dispersions and to their use of flocculation auxiliary agents, thickening agents and as additives for phytosanitary and anti-erosion agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a printable one-component swelling paste made of an aqueous mixture of a water-soluble polymer containing carboxyl groups, and at least one multifunctional alcohol as crosslinker and optionally further additives such as thickeners, the carboxyl groups of the polymer being neutralized to 40-65 mole-%. The invention also relates to the use of the swelling paste for producing water-swellable yarns, fabrics, nonwovens, or films. After coating the swelling paste on a support, a thermal subsequent treatment is effected for the purpose of drying and crosslinking the swelling paste.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus with a self-displacing device for its advance in the interior of a duct for remote inspection and/or treatment. The apparatus comprises a plurality of elements coupled to one another so as to make up a train, each element of which constitutes a wagon independent of the other elements and interchangeable at will, each element fulfilling a definite function and being of a length adapted for the curves to be taken, at least one of the elements constituting a displacing element and advantageously another one of the elements constituting an element for operating the displacing element. At least one element is a holding element including a holding device bearing selectively upon the internal wall of the duct, whereas the displacing element preferably is a puller-pusher element. The apparatus is supplied with electric power and with compressed-air through a cable and a compressed-air conduit, respectively.
