Abstract: A process for the production of diorganodisulfides by oxidation of meraptans in which the mercaptan is reacted with a halogen compound capable of releasing at least one halogen atom and taking up a hydrogen atom instead, the reaction being carried out at 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. in the presence of base and, optionally, a phase transfer catalyst.

Abstract: A polyurethane-based reactive mass composed of(a) at least one organic compound in the molecular weight range of from 400 to 12000 containing isocyanate reactive groups and having a functionality from 2 to 8,(b) optionally an organic compound in the molecular weight range of from 62 to 399 containing isocyanate reactive groups and having a functionality from 2 to 8.(c) catalysts,(d) aliphatic isocyanate compounds and(e) optionally other auxiliary agents and additives known per se,characterized in that the aliphatic isocyanate compound used is one based on hexamethylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate or isophorone diisocyanate containing isocyanurate and/or uretdione units and/or urethane and/or uretoneimine and/or oxadiazatrione groups is suitable for the production of lightfast coatings, including coatings in light colors, in particular for the formation of edgings round wooden panels without these panels having first to be dried down to the maximum dampness of 7% by weight.

Abstract: Epoxidized and subsequently cross-linked esters of alcohols which are at least dihydric and unsaturated fatty acids may be used as active processing substance in polymers, in particular elastomers, at higher temperatures, in particular at higher vulcanization temperatures, than "Factice". They may be produced by a particularly elegant one-shot reaction.

Abstract: Esterification products of monoalcohols and dicarboxylic acids, or of polyhydric alcohols and monocarboxylic acids respectively, containing 5 to 45% by weight of units of hydroxycarboxylic acids and having a ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms greater than 4.1 obtained from (a) aliphatic C.sub.1 -C.sub.14 alcohols, (b) aliphatic C.sub.4 -C.sub.18 carboxylic acids and optionally cycloaliphatic C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 and aromatic C.sub.7 -C.sub.12 carboxylic acids, and (c) lactones of aliphatic C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 hydroxycarboxylic acids. They are suitable for the preparation of lubricants and lubricant compositions.

Abstract: An ester base stock which comprises pentaerythritol, cyclohexyl carboxylic acid, isostearic acid and at least one other C.sub.6 -C.sub.16 saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, having low volatility, a high flashpoint, and increased basic viscosity as well as a very high viscosity index.

Abstract: Vulcanizable mixtures ofA. a high molecular weight polypentenamer containing predominantly trans-bonds having a Mooney viscosity ML4' (100.degree. C.) of from 50 to 200 andB. from 20 to 100 parts by weight of a plasticizer per 100 parts by weight of polypentenamer.

Abstract: A non-discoloring stabilizer system for trans-polypentenamer of:A. a sulphur-containing phenol of the formula: ##SPC1##In which R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are alkyl groups with 1 to 8 carbon atoms, aralkyl radicals with 7 to 9 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl radicals with 5 to 7 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 represents hydrogen, alkyl groups with 1 to 8 carbon atoms, cyclohexyl, cyclohexenyl or methylcyclohexenyl, R.sub.4 represents alkyl groups with 1 to 12 carbon atoms or ##SPC2##Where R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above, andB. a phenol ester of phosphorous acid of the formula: ##SPC3##In which R.sub.5 represents an alkyl or cycloalkyl group with 5 to 10 carbon atoms, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, alkyl and cycloalkyl radicals each with 1 to 7 carbon atoms.
