Abstract: Aqueous synthetic resin dispersions are obtainable by copolymerizingA) from 70 to 97.5 parts by weight of a monomer mixture containinga) from 40 to 75% by weight of butadiene (monomer I),b) from 25 to 60% by weight of acrylonitrile (monomer II),c) from 0 to 25% by weight of styrene (monomer III),d) from 0 to 10% by weight of one or more amides of .alpha.,.beta.-monoethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids of 3 to 5 carbon atoms (monomers IV) ande) from 0 to 10% by weight of other copolymerizable monomers (monomers V) andB) from 2.5 to 30 parts by weight of one or more copolymerizable monovinyl compounds (monomers VI) in aqueous emulsion at from 30.degree. to 70.degree. C. by a method in which not less than 50% by weight of the monomer mixture A is prepolymerized to a conversion of not less than 80%, and the polymerization is then continued with the addition of the remaining monomers A and the monomers B.These dispersions are suitable as binders for protective coats on leather.

Abstract: A photosensitive recording material contains a mixture of carboxyl-containing polymers having ethylenically unsaturated side groups, one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomeric compounds, a photoinitiator and a .beta.-aminoalcohol.It is suitable for the production of printing plates.

Abstract: Condensation products which are obtained by reaction of aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids with formaldehyde in a first stage and by a subsequent condensation reaction of the products with phenol and/or phenol derivatives in the molar ratio 1:(0.8-21):(0.6-20) are suitable as fixing agents for basic dyestuffs in paper printing.
