Abstract: Zirconium(IV) chelates with citric acid ester radicals and optionally with alkoxy groups are prepared from tetraalkoxy zirconate and a citric acid ester; they are useful as components of printing inks.

Abstract: Novel alkoxy titanium(IV)-chelates are used to modify printing inks based on nitrocellulose or other cellulose ester derivatives. The novel chelates comprise citric acid alkyl esters as chelate formers. They delay, as other titanium chelates do, the well-known catalytic effect of the titanium component in cross-linking reactions. When used in printing inks, the novel titanium chelates and their alcoholic solutions have the advantage that they have an insignificant color of their own, so that they practically do not discolor the printing inks. A further advantage of the novel chelates resides in that they do not enter into alteration effects with antioxidants based on phenol, so that they can also be used for printing inks which are to be applied to polymeric substrates containing such antioxidants without the occurence of discoloration.

Abstract: Titanium chelates with 1 to 2 acetoacetic acid ester ligands and one to two alkoxy groups per titanium atom the sum of these ligands and the alkoxy groups being three as well as Ti-O-Ti bridge between two titanium atoms are formed by release of alcohol and condensation of mono- or bis-acetoacetic acid ester-Ti-(IV)-chelates which have up to 4 alkoxy groups per titanium atom.

Abstract: Titanium chelate - based compositions are used as additives for liquid or pasty coating agents, especially printing inks; they consist of a mixture of titanium chelates of saturated diols and titanium acylates of saturated monocarboxylic acids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new titanium acetylacetonates. The new compounds contain one or two glycol ether groups bound to the central titanium atom. Their solutions in glycol ethers yield, after dilution with water down to chelate contents as low as 1 percent by weight, stable solutions which, even after several months of standing, display neither precipitation nor turbidity.

Abstract: New titanium chelates containing triethanolamine as chelating agent, plus one or two glycol ether groups bound to the titanium atom are disclosed. Solutions of these new titanium chelates, pure or solved in glycol ether, can be diluted with water such that even 1% aqueous solutions are stable and show no turbidity or precipitation even after several weeks of standing. The new compounds are obtained by the reaction of the known triethanolamine titanates with glycol ethers, followed by distillation of the alcohol that forms, plus the alcohol serving as solvent, if any.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new titanium chelates containing both acetylacetone and malonic acid dialkyl ester as chelating agents. The acetylacetone moiety is contained in these new chelates in amounts between 1.25 and 1.95 moles and the malonic acid dialkyl ester moiety in amounts between 0.05 and 0.75 moles per gram-atom of titanium. The new chelates have the same properties as the known titanium acetylacetonates; however, they have the advantage that they are only slightly yellow and in many applications they have an improved stability.

Abstract: Organic titanium chelates which contain only acetylacetone and triethanolamine as ligands and chelating agents and are soluble in glycol ethers are disclosed. The addition of even a small amount of the glycol ether to these new substances improve the stability of their aqueous solutions in an extraordinary manner. Preferably, solutions of 50 to 80% of these new chelates are used, from which very dilute aqueous solutions, i.e., 1 to 5% of extraordinarily high stability can be made.

Abstract: Disclosed are new zirconic acid esters which contain glycol ether moieties as the ester grouping, and which are chelated with one and up to a maximum of two moles of acetylacetone. The new compounds can also contain up to a maximum of two moles of ester groupings of low alkanols. The new partially chelated zirconic acid esters are characterized by good solubility in water, in which they do not decompose at room temperature. Accordingly, they can also be used in aqueous systems as crosslinking agents or reaction accelerators.

Abstract: The present invention relates to binding agents for coating compositions which can be used for making foundry molds. The new compositions contain known polymeric titanic acid esters which are treated with chelating agents. The preferred chelating agents are beta-dioxo compounds. The chelating agents are contained in the binding agent in amounts between 0.2 and 1 gram molecule per gram atom of titanium. The new binding agents can be prepared in a simple manner from titanic acid esters, water and the chelating agent, the amount of water being selected in accordance with the degree of condensation desired in the polymeric titanic acid ester.
