Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing products based on wood as a raw material. The method includes wood, in the form of wood particles, being subjected to an extraction treatment using an extracting agent. The extracting agent may include one or more organic solvents in an organic-aqueous mixture of the solvent or solvents with water. A content of fatty acids in the wood particles is reduced, by the extraction treatment of the wood particles using the solvent, by at least 70%, measured as hexanal content in wt. % after accelerated aging for 72 h at 90° C., while the content of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin is largely maintained during this extraction treatment.

Abstract: Water-dilutable, cationically stabilized epoxy resins ZYX are obtained by reacting, in the first stage, aromatic or aliphatic epoxide compounds Z with aliphatic amines Y to form epoxy-amine adducts ZY which are neutralized and then in aqueous dispersion are reacted in a second stage with a further epoxy resin X. The resins ZYX may be formulated without additional curatives to give aqueous coating materials which exhibit a good corrosion protection effect.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with stabilized metal pigments, in particular aluminum pigments, particularly against water and moisture, with improved resistance characteristics in aqueous paints. The stabilization of the metal particles is carried out through treatment with carboxyalkylene phosphoric acid esters, and/or carboxyalkylene phosphonic acids, and/or carboxyalkylene phosphinic acids. The carboxylic group of the compounds can be at least partially neutralized if desired.
