Abstract: Latex dispersions are concentrated by a process in which, in a two-stage crossflow filtration, the latex dispersion is first concentrated under pressures of 2 to 7 bar and at temperatures of 20.degree. to 70.degree. C. under turbulent flow conditions, the permeate accumulating together with the emulsifier present therein is then also concentrated at 10 to 40 bar and at temperatures of 20.degree. to 50.degree. C. and the concentrate obtained is returned with the emulsifier to the first stage of the crossflow filtration process while the permeate of the second stage is returned to the production process.

Abstract: Crosslinkable compounds obtainable by reaction of water-soluble mono- or polyamines with 2,3-epoxypropyl sulphonates or 2-hydroxypropyl 1,3-bis-sulphonates or their mixtures with up to 15 mol % of an epihalogenohydrin or diyhalogenohydrin are used for imparting wet strength to paper.

Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of copolymers and graft copolymers which are formed from ethylenically unsaturated perfluoroalkyl monomers and ethylenically unsaturated monomers from from perfluoroalkyl groups and which are prepared in the presence of emulsifiers containing cationic groups are used for imparting a water-repellent and oleo-repellent finish to textiles, leather and paper.

Abstract: Cationic crosslinkable polyamidoamine resins which are obtainable by reaction of(A) a water-soluble polyamidoamine prepared from(1) aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids or functional derivatives thereof, such as anhydrides, esters or half-esters, and .omega.-aminocarboxylic acids containing at least 3 C atoms or lactams thereof, and(2) a polyamine mixture of (.alpha.) polyamines which contain at least two amino groups which are capable of amide formation and at least one further secondary or tertiary amino group, and (.beta.) polyamines which contain only two amino groups which are capable of amide formation,(B) with an epihalogenohydrin, in a molar ratio of 0.7 to 3.5 mol of epihalogenohydrin per mol of basic nitrogen in component (A),(C) with an inorganic base and(D) with 0.2 to 9.0 mol of a halogen-free mineral or carboxylic acid, the acid being added in at least an amount to give a pH of at least 5,are used as agents for imparting wet strength to paper.

Abstract: Water-soluble crosslinkable polymeric compounds which are obtainable by reaction of reaction products, containing halogenohydrin groups, of ammonia or mono- or polyamines and an epihalogenohydrin with inorganic bases and subsequent reaction of the resulting compounds containing epoxide groups with halogen-free sulphonic acids to give compounds containing sulphonic acid ester groups are used for imparting wet strength to paper.

Abstract: Water-soluble crosslinkable compounds which are obtainable by reaction of reaction products, containing halogenohydrin groups, of ammonia or mono- or polyamines and an epihalogenohydrin or 1,3-dihalogeno-2-hydroxypropane with inorganic bases and subsequent reaction of the resulting compounds, which contain epoxy groups, with halogen-free acids or derivatives thereof to give compounds containing 1-acyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl groups are used for providing paper with a wet-strength finish, for aftertreatment of cellulose dyed with reactive and direct dyestuffs and for finishing wool.
