Abstract: Low molecular weight silicone copolymers prepared by reacting an oxamido ester-terminated silicone with a polyetheramine and a primary or secondary amine are useful in treating fabrics to obtain a soft hand and also hydrophilicity, and can be prepared without the use of highly toxic reagents.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxane copolymers having the formula are useful in treating fibrous substances, particularly textile fabrics, to produce a laundering-resistant soft hand.

Abstract: Compositions containing an aminoalkyl-containing polydimethylsiloxane, a silicon compound containing silicon-bonded alkoxy groups, and a zirconium, titanium, or zinc carboxylate catalyst provides water repellency and stain resistance to substrates, particularly woven and non-woven textile and leather substrates.

Abstract: A method for the continuous production of foam materials, wherein the foaming and/or foamed synthetic starting material is passed through the pressure zone (4) of a continuously operating press (1), and in which method at least a part of the heat required for foaming is produced in the synthetic starting material itself as dielectric heat of an electromagnetic high-frequency condenser field, wherein production of this heat in the starting material takes place at least to its greatest part within a high-frequency condenser field which is arranged in the direction of passage (8) of the material through the press (1) in front of the pressure zone (4), and that in order to supply additional heat into the foaming and/or foamed starting material or in order to prevent or delay its surface cooling, at least one of the electrodes (10, 11) between which prevails the high-frequency field and/or at least one of the pressure surfaces of the press may be heated.

Abstract: A method for producing elastomeric foils by continuously impregnating a non-woven fabric with a resinous composition in liquid form selected from the group consisting of (a) a resin based on polyhydroxy compounds or polyamines or mixtures thereof and polyisocyanates, (b) resins based or polyhydroxy compounds or polyamines or polycarboxyl compounds or mixtures thereof and polyepoxides and (c) an impregnating mixture based on rubber latex, drying and curing the impregnated fabric freely suspended in hot air and removing the dried foil which is useful as an intermediate layer in the bonding of objects with a high E-molulus and the bonded object per se.
