  • Synergistically active composition
    Patent number: 11753526
    Abstract: The invention relates to a synergistically active composition which comprises a mixture of a sulfinic acid or a salt thereof and ascorbic acid or a salt thereof and the use of the composition as reducing agent. The reducing power of the composition of the invention is significantly higher than the reducing power of the single components.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignee: L. BRÜGGEMANN GMBH & CO. KG
    Inventors: Josef Berghofer, Stefan Mark, Stefanie Enderle
  • Synergistically Active Composition
    Publication number: 20210253748
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a synergistically active composition which comprises at least one metal sulfite and at least one metal hydroxymethane sulfmate as reducing agent in emulsion polymerizations.The reducing power of the composition of the invention is significantly higher than the additive reducing power of the components. Furthermore, the composition results in a reduced amount of free formaldehyde.

  • Mixed salts of hydroxyalkane sulfinic acid
    Patent number: 11053193
    Abstract: The preparation and use of mixed salts of hydroxyalkane sulfinic acids and optionally hydroxyalkane sulfonic acids as a reducing agent are disclosed. The reducing power of the salts is significantly higher than the reducing power of the corresponding zinc salt. The storage stability of the salts as solids and as aqueous solution is significantly higher than one of the corresponding sodium salts.

  • Sulfonic acid salt composition and use thereof for color stabilization
    Patent number: 10662150
    Abstract: A sulfonic acid salt composition includes compounds of formula (I), wherein n is 1 or 2, R1 is H or C1-C6 alkyl, R2 is COOM, SO3M or CH(OH)SO2—OM, each M is an equivalent of a multivalent metal, preferably magnesium, calcium, aluminum, zinc and combinations thereof. The molar ratio of a compound wherein n is 1 to a compound wherein n is 2 is below 0.1. The sulfonic acid salt composition is useful for color stabilization of non-living organic matter such as from lacquers, paints, powder-coatings, and polymers in particular water-absorbent polymers.
