Abstract: Aminoplastic resin based on one or more amino derivatives and one or more aldehydes in which the amino derivative is melamine, glycoluril or their mixture in variable proportions and that the aldehyde is a product of formula (I) R--CHO where R=a dialkoxymethyl, 1,3-dioxolan 2-yl group optionally substituted on the vertex 4 and/or 5 by one or more alkyl groups or a 1,3-dioxan 2-yl group optionally substituted on vertices 4, 5 and/or 6 by one or more alkyl groups, optionally mixed with glyoxal, preparation process and use as a crosslinking agent for cellulose.

Abstract: A resin composition useful as a binder is provided comprising the reaction product of an amine derivative chosen from melamine, glycolurile or their mixtures with a C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 dialkoxyethanal, the reaction product is then mixed with a polyol.

Abstract: A surfactantless, formaldehyde-free polyvinyl alcohol graft copolymer binder emulsion for non-woven products is prepared comprising: 12% to 35% of a fully hydrolyzed low or ultra low molecular weight PVOH and 65% to 88% of a vinyl and/or acrylic monomer which is graft copolymerized with the PVOH through emulsion polymerization.

Abstract: A paper coating composition is provided comprising pigment, binder and a cyclic phosphate salt as an insolubilizer for the binder.

Abstract: A paper coating composition is prepared containing a pigment, a binder and as an insolubilizer for the binder a zirconium chelate containing an alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid ligand.

Abstract: A cationic polyvinyl alcohol binder additive is prepared suitable for addition in the wet-end of a paper making process by reacting a blocked glyoxal resin, a cationic water-soluble aldehyde reactive polymer and a polyvinyl alcohol polymer.

Abstract: A water-dispersible, self-crosslinking non-formaldehyde latex is prepared by reacting a starch-polymer graft with a glyoxal compound at temperatures of at least 70.degree. C. to produce a stable emulsion with low viscosity and which upon drying and curing provides a film having good tensile, elongation, water resistance and anti-wicking properties.

Abstract: Monomers such as hydrophobic olefinically unsaturated monomers have been grafted onto maltodextrins and other low molecular weight starch hydrolyzates to prepare stable fluid emulsions of coatable viscosity and reduced graininess. Polymer films of high tensile strength which are useful in a variety of applications, including high temperature applications may be formed by casting and drying these emulsions.

Abstract: Modified starch dispersions are prepared by gelatinizing various starches and starch blends and reacting the starch in the presence of a glyoxal compound to produce an aqueous starch dispersion having a storage-stable and coatable viscosity. The starch dispersions provides a film which displays good tensile strength and elongation properties.

Abstract: A binder for non-woven fibers or fabrics is prepared comprising a starch-polymer graft, starch and a starch crosslinking agent. An acrylamide copolymer may optionally be included. The binder is useful for non-woven fibers such as a polyester fiber mat, and particularly single ply, bitumin roofing materials.

Abstract: A coating binder additive is prepared comprising a blocked glyoxal resin mixed with a vinyl or acrylic water soluble polymer which is reactive with free glyoxal.

Abstract: N-acyl substituted cyclic ureas are prepared which are useful as blocked isocyanates in one-component polyurethane systems.

Abstract: A coating binder additive is prepared comprising a blocked glyoxal resin mixed with a vinyl or acrylic water soluble polymer which is reactive with free glyoxal.

Abstract: Paper coating compositions contain at least one pigment, at least one binder, and, as an insolubilizer for the binder, the product of the reaction of glyoxal and a vicinal polyol.

Abstract: Cyclic urea/glyoxal/polyol condensates are excellent formaldehyde-free crosslinking resins for cellulosic textile fabrics and insolubilizers for binders in paper coating compositions.
