Abstract: Disclosed are computer-implemented systems and methods for an automated determination of a mass balance feedstock demand for chemical products produced in a chemical production process of a production plant.

Abstract: A process for producing a liquid formulation of salts of sulfonated azo dyes by coupling an at least equimolar amount of diazotized aminoarylsulfonic acids I H2N—Ar—SO3H??(I), where Ar is phenylene (which may be monosubstituted by sulfo) or naphthylene (which may be mono- or disubstituted by sulfo and/or monosubstituted by hydroxyl) onto the coupling product of an unsubstituted or methyl-substituted phenylenediamine with itself comprises dissolving the azo dye in a basic medium and then subjecting the solution to a nanofiltration.

Abstract: An epichlorohydrinamine polymer has a ratio of amine units to epichlorohydrin units of from 0.8:1.2 to 1.0:1.0, dimethylaminopropylamine and benzylamine preferably being used as amine and/or ammonium units. The novel epichlorohydrinamine polymer is used, for example, for the surface treatment of semifinished leather products and textile materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous liquid formulations comprising 5-25% by weight of a dye composition comprising 70-95% by weight of a dye obtainable by reduction or thermal treatment of Direct Yellow 11 1-30% by weight of a blue direct dye and 0-20% by weight of a red direct dye (all based on the dye composition) 1-15% by weight of a saturated, cyclic or acyclic water-soluble amine comprising a primary, secondary or tertiary amino group and at least one further functional group selected from primary, secondary and tertiary amino groups, OH groups and ether groups, and 1-30% by weight of urea based on the total weight of the aqueous liquid formulation, wherein the total amount of water-soluble amine and urea does not exceed 40% by weight, and also their use for dyeing cellulose material especially paper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one polyfunctional aziridine compound and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of this composition as a curing component for formulations in the area of leather treatment, of coatings, of textile printing and of surface coatings.

Abstract: In order to increase the safety of vehicle occupants, in particular in order to reduce the stresses acting in a vehicle deceleration in the event of an impact, a force-transmission element (1) having two different levels is provided for an engine compartment. According to the invention this force-transmission element is incorporated into the force path which is initiated by the impact and it can be shifted from one level to another according to the position of the engine in the engine compartment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one polyfunctional aziridine compound and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and a process for its preparation. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of this composition as a curing component for formulations in the area of leather treatment, of coatings, of textile printing and of surface coatings.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyurethane foams comprising
