Abstract: The application relates to oral care compositions comprising substantive polyesters formed from xylitol, polycarboxylic acids (or esters, acid halides or anhydrides thereof) and optionally arginine. The formed polyesters or polyesteramides are active in biofilm inhibition and dissolution to maintain clean teeth.

Abstract: The application relates to oral care compositions comprising substantive polyesteramides formed from polyols, polycarboxylic acids (or esters, anhydrides or halides thereof) and arginine. The formed polyesteramides are active in biofilm inhibition, biofilm dissolution and retarding or preventing acid production from oral bacteria.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of a synthetic textile (T) with a cationic biocide (B) and at least one anionic polymer (P) which comprises the step of treating the synthetic textile with an aqueous composition containing the cationic biocide (B) in a concentration (c1) and containing the anionic polymer (P) in a concentration (c2), wherein the concentrations (c1) and (c2) are selected so that the ratio (R) of negative charges of the anionic polymer (P) to the positive charges of the cationic biocide (B) is between 10:1 and 1:1, leads to textiles with long term biocide activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of protecting wood against light-induced degradation by treatment with an impregnation which penetrates the surface of the wood comprising a) water without an organic solvent and b) a selected sterically hindered amine N-oxyl or N-hydroxyl. A further subject is the use of a sterically hindered amine N-oxyl or N-hydroxyl for the stabilization of wood.

Abstract: 1,2-Bis-adducts of stable hindered nitroxide compounds with substituted ethylenes are prepared by reacting two equivalents of nitroxyl compound with an ethylenically unsaturated compound such as styrene or an acrylate ester. These adducts are very effective inhibitors to prevent the premature polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers when such monomers are distilled, processed or stored.
