Abstract: A leather fatliquoring agent and a process for its use in which the agent is a sulfosuccinic (C.sub.12-24 fatty residue) ester and an anionic or nonionic emulsifier. The agent is stable in the presence of tanning liquor electrolytes.

Abstract: A method and composition for fatliquoring during the leather and skin tanning process, in which an amphoteric surfactant is employed which is the condensation product of at least one C.sub.6-22 -fatty acid or corresponding ester with at least an aminoalkylalkanolamine followed by subsequent alkylation reaction with at least one vinylog compound.

Abstract: Phosphonic acid esters obtained by reacting organophosphonic acids corresponding to the general formula R--PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, in which R is preferably an alkyl group containing from 6 to 18 C-atoms, with from 1 to 10 moles and preferably with from 1 to 5 moles of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide. These esters are useful as additives to hair treatment preparations, preferably to shampoos based on anionic surfactants and, preferably, ampholytic or betaine surfactants for improving the wet combability of hair. They are added in amounts between 0.1 to 10% by weight to hair treatment preparations, and between 1 and 5% by weight to shampoos.

Abstract: An aqueous concentrate of a tenside of the sulfate and sulfonate type containing at least about 20% by weight of a water-soluble salt of at least one anionic tenside selected from the group consisting of alkyl polyalkylene ether glycol sulfates, alkaryl polyalkylene ether glycol sulfates, alkyl polyalkylene ether glycol sulfosuccinates, alkaryl polyalkylene ether glycol sulfosuccinates, alkyl sulfates, alkaryl sulfonates and alkyl sulfosuccinates and a viscosity reducing amount of a water-soluble salt of a polyglycol ether sulfate selected from the group consisting of monosulfates of poly-lower alkylene ether glycols having a molecular weight of at least 600, disulfates of poly-lower alkylene ether glycols having a molecular weight of at least 600 and mixtures thereof and from 0 to a viscosity reducing amount of a poly-lower alkylene ether glycol having a molecular weight of at least 1,500; as well as the process of improving the flow behavior of difficultly pourable aqueous concentrates of at least one tensi

Abstract: A component for parting oils or releasing agents for baked goods that can be used as substitute for natural, hardened sperm whale oil in parting oils for baked goods, comprising a synthetic wax ester of:(a) a mixture of C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 -fatty acids having an iodine number of 48-96 and a content of C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 -fatty acids of at least 90%; with(b) a mixture of C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 -fatty alcohols having an iodine number of 50-95 and a content of C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 -fatty alcohols of at least 90%,said synthetic wax ester having an iodine number of 40-110; a saponification number of about 110; an acid number of less than 1; an hydroxyl number of 5 or less; and a solidification range of from 10.degree.-30.degree. C. The parting oils for baked goods contain from 20% to 60% by weight of the above wax ester and from 80% to 40% by weight of edible liquid triglycerides of natural fatty acids with a polyene content as low as possible.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an improved process of oiling and impregnating leather or pelts in which the leather or pelts are contacted with one or more oiling substances in an aqueous liquor, wherein the improvement comprises using an alkylolamide ether sulfate or phosphate of fatty acids of the formulaR--CO--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --O--(CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.m XwhereinR represents an aliphatic radical of from about 13 to 19 carbon atoms;n is a number of from 2 to 4;m is a number of from 1 to 4;X is --SO.sub.3 Y or --PO(OY).sub.2 ; andY is a sodium, potassium, or ammonium anionas an oiling substance in the liquor bath.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a substitute beeswax composition comprised of:mono-, di-, and triglycerides of long-chain fatty acids;esters of long-chain fatty acids with higher-molecular fatty alcohols;higher fatty acids;optionally microcrystalline paraffins; andfrom about 3 to 15% by weight, based on the weight of the total composition, of .alpha.-branched, aliphatic monocarboxylic acids of the general formula ##STR1## in which R represents a linear alkyl radical with from about 12 to 20 carbon atoms. The substitute beeswax composition is useful in the preparation of cosmetic compositions.
