Abstract: A process and product formed therefrom for imparting wet strength to cellulosic sheet materials by incorporating into the materials a polymeric product having the structural characterization of a substantially completely saturated hydrocarbon polymer chain with pendant secondary and/or tertiary alkylene amine groups and alkylene quaternary ammonium groups.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to cross-linked, cationic polymers having a mixture of secondary and/or tertiary alkylene amine groups and alkylene quaternary ammonium groups pendant from a substantially completely saturated hydrocarbon polymer chain and to the use of said polymers as retention and drainage aids in paper making processes.

Abstract: A process for producing a polyurethane foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with an organic polyester polyol or polyether polyol in the presence of a catalytic amount of specific amine compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl group selected from a C.sub.4 or a C.sub.5 straight or branched chain hydrocarbon, X is an organic mono or dicarboxylic acid and n is an integer from 0 to 1.
