  • Patent number: 6528576
    Abstract: The invention relates to textile treatment compositions containing (K1) mixtures of (A) 0 to 30% by weight of polyalcohols obtained by catalyzed reaction of formaldehyde with ketones bearing at least 4 replaceable hydrogen atoms adjacent to the carbonyl group, (B) 0 to 30% by weight of polyalcohols other than (A), (C) 0.1 to 10% by weight of adducts of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, alkyl- or dialkylamines, or alkylphenols with 2 to 100 mol of ethylene oxide, and (D) 70 to 99.9% by weight of an aqueous softener formulation containing 10 to 90% by weight of softener compounds based on the aqueous softener formulation,  wherein the total amount of (A)+(B) is ≧0.1% by weight, based on the sum total of the individual components (A) to (D), and (K2) a bisulphite-blocked polyisocyanate prepolymer, wherein the weight ratio of component K1 to component K2 is 0.1:1 to 5:1.

  • Patent number: 6099594
    Abstract: Synthetic fibers and synthetic fiber textile materials finished with mineral oil finishes, silicone oil finishes or both can be simultaneously stripped of these finishes and dyed in one liquor comprising as essential ingredientsa) anionic and/or amphoteric surfactants,b) dyes, andc) optionally further compounds selected from the group consisting of the nonionic surfactants, the terpene hydrocarbons/alcohols, sorbitol esters and their alkoxylates, fatty acid ethanolamides, alkylpolyglycosides and solvents.The treatment is carried out at pH 4.0 to 7.5 at 80-110.degree. C. and at a liquor ratio of 5:1 to 100:1.

  • Patent number: 6096097
    Abstract: Raw native fibers and textile products therefrom can be simultaneously washed and bleached in one liquor if the liquor has added to it a combination product ofa) one or more bleach stabilizers,b) one or more surfactants from the group of the nonionic, amphoteric and cationic surfactants,c) optionally one or more dispersants andd) optionally further components.

  • Patent number: 5147412
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process in which a melt is mixed with, and emulsified in a colder aqueous phase at a temperature below the crystallization point of the molten compound, the melt only solidifying in the form of the dispersed particles after the emulsification step. To this end, the melt is sprayed into the aqueous phase to form a preliminary emulsion (12) and the preliminary emulsion is finely dispersed for 0.005 s to 0.15 s in a following homogenization nozzle (8) to form an emulsion (15) which then solidifies to form the final crystal suspension. The particle size can be clearly and reproducibly adjusted through the nozzle pressure during the emulsification step. The process may be used in particular for the production of highly concentrated dispersions of high-melting organic materials.

  • Patent number: 4900455
    Abstract: The invention relates to new finishing mixtures, which contain fatty acid alkanolamides having softening points above 70.degree. C. as anti-blocking components, for synthetic fibers, particularly fibers of polyacrylonitrile, which are used as staple fibers. The invention also relates to the use of these finishing mixtures for the finishing of staple fibers, particularly polyacrylonitrile-based staple fibers.
