Abstract: A laminar structure (1) for providing foam within cavities such as those in automobile pillars and rails is provided comprising a metal foil (4) having a central section (2) and two end sections (3, 4), the central section carrying a foamable material (5) and the end sections being securable to the flanges (8, 9, 15, 16) of the cavity forming members (7, 14). The cavity containing the foam after foaming is also provided.

Abstract: Aluminum salts of N-nitroso-N-alkylhydroxylamines are produced by the reaction of an aluminum salt with an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal salt and/or ammonium salt of an N-nitroso-N-alkylhydroxyl-amine and/or the aftertreatment of an appropriate aluminum salt in the presence of water and an organic solvent. The products have fungicidal properties and are starting materials for the production of fungicides for wood preservatives, colored surface coatings, synthetic resins and dye formulations.

Abstract: The reaction zone of a free-flow refractory lined partial oxidation gas generator is preheated by the complete combustion of fuel gas, supplied by means of a preheat burner, with air at atmospheric pressure. The preheat burner is replaced by the main process burner and the heating is continued by the complete combustion of said fuel gas and air at atmospheric pressure. The main burner is then made pressure tight to the reaction zone, and the heating is continued. When the temperature of the reaction zone reaches the temperature for ignition of the autothermal partial oxidation reaction of the liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel and free-oxygen containing gas in the presence of a temperature moderator, fuel gas and air are cut-off, and are respectively replaced by a stream of said liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel, optionally in admixture with a temperature moderator, and a separate stream of free-oxygen containing gas, optionally in admixture with a temperature moderator.

Abstract: Pinacol is manufactured by electrolytic hydrodimerization of acetone in a compartmented cell using a catholyte which contains from 10 to 90% by weight of acetone, from 1 to 60% by weight of water and from 1 to 50% by weight of a quaternary ammonium salt.

Abstract: Cyclic phosphorus nitride esters are prepared as flameproofers of high durability for use on regenerated cellulose. The known synthesis from cyclic phosphorus nitride chlorides with alcohols in the presence of amines is controlled under specific temperature conditions such that desired side-reactions permit the production, in a simple manner and in very high yields, of products showing a durability to washing not hitherto achieved.
