Abstract: The present invention relates to melamine-formaldehyde resins comprising a guanamine, to processes for their preparation and to their use for the production of melamine resin films and edgings.

Abstract: A carrier web of a sheet-like fiber material consisting of a glass fiber mat and a mat of synthetic fibers, which and are needled together and are end-consolidated with a polymer-free low-formaldehyde melamine-formaldehyde precondensate, and a process for its preparation are described.The carrier web is preferably end-consolidated with a melamine-formaldehyde precondensate which is partly etherified and/or sulfamate-modified.

Abstract: Stabilized pulverulent red phosphorus consisting substantially of particles with a size of at most 2 mm, encapsulated in a thin layer of an oxidation stabilizer consisting of at least one scarcely water-soluble or water-insoluble metal hydroxide and a melamine/formaldehyde-polycondensation product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a particulate agent based on free-flowing pulverulent ammonium polyphosphates of the general formulaH.sub.(n-m)+2 (NH.sub.4).sub.m P.sub.n O.sub.3n+1in which n is an integer having an average value of from approximately 20 to 800 and the ratio of m to n is approximately 1, for impeding the combustibility of combustible materials. The agent is comprised of(a) approximately 75 to 99% by weight of ammonium polyphosphate, and(b) approximately 1 to 25% by weight of a hardened water-insoluble polycondensation product of melamine and formaldehyde encasing the individual ammonium polyphosphate particles.

Abstract: Low viscosity, aqueous impregnating resin solution with improved stability containing 30-70% by weight of solid resin which comprises:(A) 80-98% by weight of a melamine-formaldehyde precondensate and(B) 2-20% by weight of a water soluble copolymer.

Abstract: The invention relates to stabilized, pulverulent red phosphorus, consisting of phosphorus particles having a particle size of at most about 2 mm, and an oxidation stabilizer which envelops the phosphorus particles in the form of a thin layer, wherein(a) the oxidation stabilizer is a combination of aluminum hydroxide and a hardened epoxide resin system having an epoxide equivalent weight of about 170 to 500,(b) the total amount of the oxidation stabilizer is 0.1-5% by weight, based on the amount of red phosphorus, and(c) the proportion of aluminum hydroxide is about 0.01 to 3% by weight, and the proportion of epoxide resin is about 0.09 to 4.99% by weight, in each case based on the amount of the red phosphorous.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for making striking surfaces wherein red phosphorus, abrasive agents, and binders which are in the form of aqueous urea/formaldehyde or melamine/formaldehyde-condensates, are made into an aqueous suspension which is applied on to a striking surface substrate. More particularly, the suspension, based on the solid matter content of the condensates used as binder, is admixed with 5 to 20 weight %, calculated as solid matter, of an agent cross-linking the amine resin, the cross-linking agent being a polyester or copolymer produced by subjecting an acryl and/or methacryl ester to copolymerization with vinyl acetate in a ratio by weight of 1:9 to 9:1. A pH-value within the range 6.5 to 8.0 is established in the mixture, in the event of the cross-linking agent being a copolymer, or a pH-value within the range 7 to 11 is established, in the event of the cross-linking agent being a polyester.

Abstract: Curable, modified aminotriazine condensation product prepared by reacting an aminotriazine condensation product pre-condensed to a dilutability ratio with water of 1:0.5 to 1:5, with 65 to 500% by weight, relative to the triazine, of a lactam of an aminocarboxylic acid having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, or a diaminedicarboxylate salt of a diamine having 2 to 18 carbon atoms and a dicarboxylic acid having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof, at a temperature of no more than 65.degree. C.

Abstract: A heater assembly for a container such as a cooking vessel includes a heating coil in a tubular heater casing, with a connecting pin member connected to the heating coil and projecting through an insulating sleeve mounted to the end of the casing. A plug connecting pin is mounted to the part of the pin member projecting from the insulating sleeve. The end of the casing is butted directly against the insulating sleeve, and a casting material is cast around parts of the plug pin, the casing and the insulating sleeve to form an assembly thereof.
