Abstract: As a leather fatting agent a solution, emulsion or dispersion of a pulverulent, free-flowing form product derived from a substance having a liquid or pasty consistency, especially fatty, oil and waxy substances, especially those prepared by drying aqueous solutions or dispersions containing these substances together with carrier compositions having the dry weight analysis of from 0.1 to 35% inorganic or organic salts, 0.1 to 90% albumin or albumin derivatives and 0.

Abstract: Urinary and intestinal tract excrement, such as from a stoma patient, is thickened by admixture with a cross-linked water-swellable polymer, preferably including (meth)acrylic acid, nitrile and/or amide units. A hydrophilic adsorption agent such as silicic acid may also be included along with perfume materials, binders and/or enzyme inhibitors. By thickening, it prevents sloshing of the contents, reduces odors and facilitates ultimate disposal.
