Abstract: Steel anticorrosion and lubricity composition consisting essentially of (a) a surfactant; (b) at least one neutralized alkyl phosphate in a surfactant:phosphate weight ratio in the range between 10:1 to 1:10, said phosphate having the general formula:(RO).sub.m --P--(O)--(OH).sub.nwherein R is an alkyl group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; m is 1 or 2, and n is 3m; and optionally (c) 5 to 40 weight percent, based on the combined weight of said surfactant and said phosphate, of at least one carboxylic acid which has both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic portion.

Abstract: Yellow to orange, disazo acid dyes which have excellent application and fastness properties on nylon fibers, do not change shade under basic conditions and have the formula ##STR1## wherein SO.sub.3 M is meta or para to the azo group, R.sub.1 is selected from H, CH.sub.3, OCH.sub.3 and Cl, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from H, CH.sub.3 and OCH.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are independently selected from H, Cl and CH.sub.3, but only one can be Cl, R.sub.6 is selected from CH.sub.3 and C.sub.2 H.sub.5 and M is, C.sub.1-4 alkylammonium and C.sub.1-2 alkanolammonium cations.

Abstract: Storage-stable, concentrated, aqueous, disazo acid dye solution consisting essentially of 10-25 weight % of the lithium or tri(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt of ##SPC1##Wherein one of X and Y is H and the other is CH.sub.3 and R.sup.1 is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH, CH.sub.2 CH(CH.sub.3)OH or CH.sub.2 CH(C.sub.2 H.sub.5)OH, 5-25 weight % of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and the balance, to 100%, water.
