Abstract: A process for the removal or reduction of residual trimethyl amine odor resulting from the quaternization of a halogen containing precursor with trimethyl amine. Odor reduction is achieved by reacting the residual trimethyl amine with at least an equivalent amount of methyl chloride at a temperature of at least 50.degree. C. for a period of time to convert substantially all of the trimethyl amine to tetramethyl ammonium chloride.

Abstract: Monomeric, oligomeric and polymeric sulfonates are formed by the reaction of a compound containing at least one epihalohydrin residue and a sulfonate compound selected from the group consisting of phenolsulfonic acid salts, naphtholsulfonic acid salts, aminobenzene sulfonic acid salts and aminoalkyl sulfonic acid salts.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a positive drive hose reel apparatus for a cooling system mounted on the linearly movable thrust block of a piercing or reeling mill. The thrust block means is adapted to move along a path between a working position and a retracted position and includes a rotatably mounted hose reel apparatus to support a flexible hose. The hose interconnects a remote water supply with the cooling system of the thrust block. A drive cable extends between and is secured at points adjacent the working position and retracted position and is partially wrapped around the hose reel apparatus, whereby the linear movement of the thrust block will impart positive rotational movement to the hose reel apparatus and thereby coil and uncoil the hose, as needed as the thrust block moves at high speed back and forth along the path.
