Abstract: The invention relates to linear carboxy-functional organosiloxane compounds of the general formula (I) 1

Abstract: The invention provides for the use of silicone resins obtainable by reacting

Abstract: The invention provides for the use of quaternary polysiloxanes of the general formula (I) and/or cyclic quaternary polysiloxanes of the general formula (IIa) and/or linear quaternary polysiloxanes of the general formula (IIb) in laundry detergent formulations.

Abstract: This invention provides for, inter alia, coatings, printing inks or paint varnishes that are curable cationically by radiation and to methods for improving the slip and release properties or the leveling and wetting properties of a coating.

Abstract: Diaryliodonium salts are disclosed, as well as a method for preparing them, in which one of the aryl groups bonded to the positively-charged iodine ion contains a methyl substituent, and the other one contains a hydroxyl-substituted alkoxy group. The salts are synthesized from (o, m, or p)-iodotoluene, as opposed to iodobenzene, and therefore do not pose a carcinogenic risk. In addition, the present salts are unexpectedly more soluble in most organic solvents, as well as in nonpolar monomers, than the corresponding benzene catalysts. The salts are useful as cationic photoinitiators, cationic thermal initiators (often combined with a cocatalyst, e.g. copper), and as starting materials in the synthesis of urethane-containing iodonium salts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to UV-light-absorbing quaternary polysiloxanes that exert a care effect on natural or synthetic fibers, exhibit high substantivity to fibers, and offer protection against damage caused by UV-light. The UV-light-absorbing quaternary compounds can be used in formulations for textile care products and cosmetic, including skin and hair, products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to linear polyalkylorgano-siloxanes having polyoxyalkylene and amino-functional groups which additionally have terminal alkoxy groups, and to the preparation and use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to iodonium salts containing urethane groups of reduced crystallization tendency, to a process for their preparation, and to their use for the radiation curing of cationically curing compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to modified cationic photoinitiators which exhibit a reduced tendency to crystallize, to a process for reducing the crystallization tendency of cationic photoinitiators, and to the use of the photoinitiators of the invention for the radiation curing of cationically curing compositions. The inventive cationic photoinitiators have the formula (IV): [R1—I—R2]+X− where R1 is a radical R2 is a radical in which Ar is a monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon radical and D being a radical and the remaining variables are defined herein.
