Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for coloring keratinaceous fibers and a method of using the same. The composition of the present invention contains (a) at least one pyrimidine derivative and (b) at least one compound selected from an m-phenylene derivative, an m-aminophenol derivative, a pyridine derivative, a resorcinol derivative, a methylenedioxybenzene derivative, or 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid or combinations thereof. The method of the present invention includes applying the coloring composition to keratin-containing fibers and subsequently rinsing the coloring composition from the fibers.

Abstract: A process for permanently deforming keratin fibers is provided wherein the fiber is treated with 1) a keratin-reducing substance, 2) a physiologically compatible salt of an organic or inorganic acid anion and a divalent cation or Al.sup.3+, and 3) a compound selected from the group consisting of Vitamin C, Vitamin B.sub.5, derivatives thereof and mixtures thereof. The salt 2) and compound 3) can be applied in the form of a wave lotion or an intermediate treatment formulation. Also provided are wave lotions and hair treatment formulations comprising the salt 2) and the compound 3).

Abstract: Provided are thickeners based on an aqueous preparation of nonionic, water-dispersible or water-soluble polyurethanes, to their production and to their use. The nonionic, water-dispersible or water-soluble polyurethanes are obtainable by reaction of polyfunctional isocyanates with polyether polyols, monohydric alcohols and, if desired, polyhydric alcohols, wherein the monohydric alcohols contain at least one other polar group. Also provided is a process for the production of such thickeners. The thickeners are particularly suitable for thickening emulsion paints.

Abstract: Polyacrylates and their use for powder coatings are disclosed. In order to prepare the polyacrylates, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, their esters with C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alcohols, and/or fumaric acid, maleic acid, and their anhydrides are first polymerized. The polymers are then reacted with long chain alcohols, one alcohol having an aliphatic chain with 6 to 36 carbon atoms and a second alcohol having a cyclic amide structure. This polyacrylate is suitable as a levelling agent for powder coatings, in particular for powder lacquers. It improves the flowing behavior by reducing the orange peel effect and improves flowability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for deinking wastepaper in the presence of at least partly water-soluble polymers and/or copolymers containing amino and/or ammonium groups. Two examples of appropriate polymers/copolymers are neutralized polyethyleneimine and quaternized hydroxyethyl cellulose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the removal of fillers from waste paper, after floatation of the printing ink, in the presence of at least partly water-soluble polymers and/or copolymers having number average molecular weights of 1,000 to 500,000 by flotation.

Abstract: Copolymers of long-chain alkyl acrylates corresponding to the following formulaCH.sub.2 .dbd.CR.sup.1 --CO--OR.sup.2 (I)in which R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and R.sup.2 is the residue of a C.sub.16-34 fatty alcohol, with N-containing olefins containing acrylate or methacrylate functions can be used as flow control agents for powder coatings.

Abstract: Copolymers of long-chain alkyl acrylates or methacrylates of the formulaCH.sub.2 .dbd.CR.sup.1 --CO--OR.sup.2 (I)in which R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and OR.sup.2 is a fatty alcohol radical with 16 to 34 carbon atoms and nitrogen-containing olefins can be used as flow improvers for crude oils.

Abstract: The invention relates to polymers of formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent optionally substituted alkylene, cycloalkylene or phenylene radicals, A represents hydrogen or carboxyl groups, B represents hydrogen or groups derived from carboxylic acids or isocyanates. The invention also relates to aqueous epoxy resin dispersions containing one or more polymers of general formula (I) in addition to bases, acid, one or more emulsifiers and, optionally, other active substances and auxiliaries typically used in epoxy resin dispersions and also water.The invention also relates to a process for the production of such aqueous epoxy resin dispersions and to the use of such resins in processes for the autophoretic coating of metallic surfaces.
