  • Publication number: 20140163199
    Abstract: In a method of preparing polyalkyleneimines from alkyleneimines in the presence of a liquid solvent, and a catalyst, the preparing is effected semi-discontinuously in one reaction container. The preparing is optionally effected in the presence of further additives. Polyalkyleneimines obtained by such methods and formulations thereof likewise form part of the subject matter of the invention, especially those having a low proportion of chloride-containing compounds. Such polyalkyleneimines have uses in the field of medical technology, printing media, wastewater treatment, surface treatment, cosmetics, laundry detergents, biotechnology, packaging, electronics, paper, building construction chemistry, textiles, chromatography, ion exchangers, oil industry, ceramics, glass, membrane technology, catalysts, electroplating, biocides or wood protection.
