Abstract: Polyoxylalkylene ether with an average molecular weight of 400 to 10,000 with at least one terminal hydroxyl group and at least one lateral --SO.sub.3 X group (X=hydrogen, alkali metal or ammonium ion) is disclosed. The polyoxyalkylene ether is obtainable by the statistical or blockwise addition reaction of (a) .alpha.-alkylene oxides with 2 to 14 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof and (b) allyl and/or methallyl glycidyl ethers to monohydric to quadrihydric aliphatic alcohols with up to 8 carbon atoms, the ratio of component (a) to component (b) being selected so that at least one allyl ether group is linked to the average molecule, reacting the polymer by a known reaction with, based on the allyl ether groups, at least equimolar amounts of a compound of the formula HSO.sub.3 Y (Y=alkali or ammonium ion) and if necessary, exchanging the cation Y against a hydrogen ion also by a known procedure.

Abstract: A backing sheet for the weathering-resistant coating of thin, plane backings in continuous presses without recooling comprising(A) a paper impregnated with curable melamine resin in an amount of 40 to 60 weight percent of aminoplast resin, based on the weight of the paper, in the dried state, and(B) a coating of curable acrylic resin on the impregnated paper in an amount of 60 to 150 g/m.sup.

Abstract: A thermosetting adhesive containing as the active components(a) a copolymer which is obtained by the polymerization of(a.sub.1) 35 to 70 weight percent of one or more alkyl esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid, with 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical,(a.sub.2) 20 to 45 weight percent of acrylonitrile and/or methacrylonitrile and/or vinyl acetate,(a.sub.3) 10 to 20 weight percent of one or more .omega.-hydroxyalkyl esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical,(a.sub.4) 0 to 15 weight percent of acrylamide and/or methacrylamide, and(a.sub.5) 0 to 35 weight percent of acrylic or vinyl monomers, whose composition deviates from that of components (a.sub.1) and (a.sub.4), whereinthe sum of the monomers (a.sub.1) to (a.sub.5) amounts to 100 weight percent and the copolymer has a limiting viscosity of 0.05 to 0.6 (100 ml.multidot.g.sup.-1) at 25.degree. C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for flexibilizing epoxide resins by the addition of polymers which contain carboxyl groups by adding to the epoxide resins before they are cured, copolymers which are obtained by the conventional polymerization of:(a.sub.1) 40 to 87 weight percent of one or several alkyl esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical,(a.sub.2) 10 to 40 weight percent of vinyl acetate and/or acrylonitrile,(a.sub.3) 1 to 20 weight percent of acrylic, methacrylic and/or itaconic acid,(a.sub.4) 1 to 5 weight percent of glycidyl acrylate and/or glycidyl methacrylate, and(a.sub.5) 0 to 35 weight percent of acrylic and/or vinyl monomers, which are different from the monomers a.sub.1 to a.sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to a curable adhesive based on a reactive acrylate and/or methacrylate copolymer. The reaction principle, on which the curing of the adhesive is based, is the reaction of the hydroxyl groups of the .omega.-hydroxyalkyl esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acids with the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanates or their partial reaction products with polyols. The inventive adhesives can be used without solvents or with only a slight content of organic solvents. They adhere well to plastic and metal surfaces, even when exposed to the effects of water or water vapor. The best values for the drum peel strength are obtained from acrylic copolymers whose molecular weight falls in the range of 1,000 to 3,000.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hardenable adhesive, which contains as effective components at least one polyol and one polyisocyanate and/or their prepolymers as well as additionally conventional additives, such as, accelerators, gluing auxiliaries, pigments and/or fillers. It is characteristic of the inventive adhesive that it contains, as a polyol, the reaction product of a novolak of average molecular weight from 300 to 1200 with an oxirane of the general formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, or an optionally halogenated hydrocarbon group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or the --CH.sub.2 OR.sup.2 group, in which R.sup.2 represents an alkyl or an alkenyl group, the R.sup.1 group within the polymeric molecule being the same or different, there being added, on the average, 1 to 7 moles of the oxirane per hydroxyl group of the novolak, and the polyol and the polyisocyanate being present in such a ratio that 0.95 to 1.25 isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate correspond to one hydroxyl group of the polyol.

Abstract: A process for making carrier sheets of paper, treated with aqueous solutions of heat-hardenable, aminoplast condensation resins, such as, the reaction products of melamine, urea, thiourea, and like aminoplast constituents with formaldheyde, in which the treated sheet is stretched, as by passing it over broad-drawing rollers while it is in a warm-deformable condition (at a temperature between about 80.degree. to 130.degree.C), transversely with respect to the grain of the paper and, if desired, longitudinally with respect to the grain of the paper, and the treated stretched sheet is then cooled to a temperature of about 30.degree.C by blowing with air or passing the same over cooling rollers.
