Abstract: The invention provides new compounds which are cyclic alkylene ureas produced by the reaction of an alkylene urea selected from the group consisting of a mono-(alkylene ureido alkyl) urea, a bis-(alkylene ureido alkyl) urea, and mixtures thereof, with an unsaturated glycidyl ether or ester, such as allyl glycidyl ether. The new compounds are monomers which may be incorporated in aqueous emulsion polymer systems and are useful as wet adhesion promoters for latex paints.

Abstract: The invention provides new compounds which are cyclic alkylene ureas having hydroxyl and amine functionalities and which are produced by the reaction of an omega-amino alkyl alkylene urea, such as 2-aminoethyl ethylene urea, with an unsaturated glycidyl ether or ester, such as allyl glycidyl ether. The new compounds are monomers which may be incorporated in aqueous emulsion polymer systems and are useful as wet adhesion promoters for latex paints.

Abstract: 1-Hydroxy-2-Bromo-3-Allyloxypropane (allyl glycidyl ether bromohydrin) and 1-hydroxy-2-bromo-3-allyloxypropane phophoric acid ester (allyl glycidyl ether bromophosphate), which are useful as polymerizable flame-retardants, are described. 1-Hydroxy-2-bromo-3-allyloxypropane was prepared by the reaction of equimolar amounts of allyl glycidyl ether and hydrobromic acid, in acetic acid, preferably at a temperature in the range of 25.degree.-50.degree. C. and the thus obtained allyl glycidyl ether bromohydrin was phosphated by reaction with a substantially equimolar amount of polyphosphoric acid, preferably at a temperature in the range of about 40.degree.-50.degree. C., to produce the 1-hydroxy-2-bromo-3-allyloxypropane phosphoric acid ester.

Abstract: Air-curing copolymer latices are described. The preferred copolymer latices are prepared by emulsion copolymerization, in the presence of a free radical polymerization catalyst such as inorganic or organic peroxide polymerization catalysts, with a blend (in % by weight based on the total weight of all monomers used) of (a) about 1% to about 20% of dicyclopentadienyl acrylate or dicyclopentadienyl methacrylate, (b) about 99% to about 20% of an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, including mixtures of such monomers, and preferably a lower alkyl acrylate or methacrylate in which the alkyl groups contain from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, (c) 0% to about 5% of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and (d) 0% to about 85% of other monoethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable monomers.

Abstract: This application discloses a process for manufacturing glycidol and, if desired, glycerol, by epoxidizing allyl alcohol with a 5 to 40% solution of peracetic acid in a substantially anhydrous, inert, organic solvent to produce glycidol in high yield and purity. Formation of by-products is minimized by rapid removal of co-product acetic acid. The glycidol can then be hydrolyzed to form a readily purifiable glycerol.
