Abstract: A transparent and homogeneous polyimide resin solution produced by a process in which a tetracarboxylic acid component and an aromatic diamine component are subjected to polymerization and imidization by one step at 100.degree. to 200.degree. C. by use of a halogenated phenolic compound as a solvent, permits the formation of a polyimide film excellent in mechanical properties.

Abstract: A cationic adsorption agent which is obtained by reaction of(a) an amino compound which contains at least one amino group and at least one free or methylolated carbamide or thiocarbamide group, or a salt thereof,with(b) an aminoplast precondensate which does not contain amino groups.The novel absorption agent is suitable in particular for removing anionic substances, such as acid dyes or reactive dyes, from aqueous solutions, especially from wastewaters.

Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of particulate polyvinylbutyral are disclosed, said dispersions comprising an amount of hydrosolubles dissolved in the aqueous phase thereof, the content in the dispersions of said dissolved hydrosolubles being less than about 2.5% by weight, based upon the weight of the polyvinylbutyral. Said dispersions are useful in the formulation of certain coating compositions, e.g., paints and varnishes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to aqueous dispersions having a solid content of at least about 10% by weight of polymers containing from about 0.1 to 6% by weight of incorporated sulphonate groups, characterized in that cations of at least divalent metals, silver or monovalent copper are present in the dispersions as counterions to the chemically-incorporated sulphonate anions to at least about 80 equivalent percent, based on the total quantity of the cations present.Another object of this invention is a process for the production of such aqueous dispersions which is characterized in that aqueous dispersions having a solid content of at least about 10% by weight, of polymers containing from about 0.1 to 6% of incorporated sulphonate groups, in which alkali metal cations or monovalent ammonium cations are present as counterons, are treated with a cation exchanger which is charged with cations of the above-mentioned type.

Abstract: Aqueous latex base binder of a synthetic polymer for manufacturing tufted floor covering having improved wear-resistance. The content of hydrosoluble compounds dissolved in the aqueous phase in the latex is less than 0.5% by weight in relation to the polymer.

Abstract: Aqueous colloidal dispersions of fluorinated polymers can be concentrated, after adding a stabilizing emulsifier, to high solids contents by ultrafiltration over customary semi-permeable membranes if pumps which keep the dispersion free from contact with components which cause frictional forces are used for conveying the dispersion. A considerable proportion of the stabilizing emulsifier added and high proportions of the fluorine-containing emulsifier originally contained in the fluorinated polymer dispersion from the emulsion polymerization can be removed via the aqueous permeate. The fluorine-containing emulsifier can be recovered by a downwstream basic anion exchanger and the stabilizing emulsifier contained in the filtrate flowing out of the anion exchanger can be concentrated in this filtrate by reverse osmosis and optionally recycled into the ultrafiltration process.

Abstract: A method of preparing phosphor suspensions for coating fluorescent lamps wherein the temporary organic binder is an association compound of purified carboxy methyl cellulose and polyethylene oxide in such proportions as to avoid the gelation caused by ionizable phosphors releasing multivalent cations.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a substantially solvent-free molding material, comprising(A) from 92 to 30% by weight, of an active-hydrogen containing prepolymer containing: from 0.3 to 4% by weight, based on the prepolymer, of free primary and/or secondary amino groups, from 1.5 to 10% by weight, based on the prepolymer, of urethane groups, and from 1.5 to 10% by weight, based on the prepolymer, of urea groups;(B) from 24 to 1% by weight of a polyisocyanate having a melting point above 120.degree. C.; and(C) from 5 to 69% by weight of an organic or inorganic fibrous material with a fiber length of from 0.1 to 100 mm, the equivalent ratio between NCO groups, including masked NCO groups, and active H-atoms of components (A) and (B) is between 1:1 and 1:1.75. The instant invention is also directed to a process for the production of the substantially solvent-free molding material.
