Abstract: The invention concerns a novel composition comprising a herbicide of the glyphosate family, a herbicide of the isoxazole family and a biological activator, wherein the herbicide of the glyphosate family is selected among N-phosphomethylglycine (glyphosate acid), N-phosphomethylglycine alkaline metal salts, N-phosphomethylglycine ammonium salts and N-phosphomethylglycine trimethyisulphonium salts (sulphosate), and wherein the biological activator consists essentially of an ammonium sulphate. The invention also concerns a method for agronomic treatment of plants tolerant to glyphosate family herbicides and to isoxazole family herbicides to eliminate weeds which consists in applying in a field containing said tolerant plants an appropriate amount of the inventive composition.

Abstract: Abrasive particles which can be used particularly as an abrasive agent in toothpaste compositions and which comprises a core of abrasive calcium-containing material, e.g. a precipitated calcium carbonate, which is coated with a fluorine-compatibilizing hydrophobic coating, e.g. sodium stearate, are provided. Methods of obtaining these abrasive particles, as well as their use in toothpaste compositions are also provided. In these abrasive particles, the compatibility between the abrasive agent and the fluorinated agent is significantly improved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new sulfur compounds which are polyol esters of mercaptocarboxylic acids. It also relates to the use of these sulfur esters for preparing polymers exhibiting a refractive index higher than 1.50. The manufacture of optical discs and of waveguides may be mentioned among the optical applications of these polymers.

Abstract: Polymer matrices, e.g., halogenated polymers such as PVC, polyolefins, polystyrenes, polyalkadienes, etc., are stabilized against the adverse effects of heat and light, by incorporating therein an effective stabilizing amount of a compound of the formula (I): ##STR1## in which n is a number ranging from 1 to 3, and R is a methyl radical or a hydrogen atom.

Abstract: Novel dihydropyridine compounds bearing substituted piperidyl substituents are effective heat/light stabilizers for a wide variety of polymer substrates, e.g., for halopolymers such as PVC, and are also effective anti-UV agents and antioxidants for such polymers as polyolefins, polystyrenes, polyalkadienes, polyurethanes, polyamides, polyesters, polycarbonates, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polyetherketones, acrylic polymers, or copolymers or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Compounds containing a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl group and a method of making them. The compounds are effective for the protection of organic polymers against degradation due to light and ultraviolet radiation.
