Abstract:
A process for preparing low-salt preparations of condensation products based onA) sulphonated aromatics,B) aldehydes and/or ketones and optionallyC) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of nonsulphonated aromatics, urea and urea derivatives,characterized in that inorganic acid present after the condensation is separated off in whole or in part from the condensation product, optionally in the form of its salts after neutralization, until the inorganic salt content is less than 10% by weight, relative to the preparation, leads to preparations which are outstandingly suitable as tanning agents, dispersants and liquefiers.
Abstract:
In the finishing of leather by spray application in an electrostatic field it is possible to use highly concentrated solutions if these solutions are sprayed into a solvent atmosphere in the presence of inert gases. The finishing process utilizes a solvent atmosphere which has a solvent content of 15-90% of the saturation concentration and a residual oxygen content of less than 10% by volume. The finishes contained are immediately stackable. By working with concentrated solutions it is possible to recycle the solvent from the waste air in an economically acceptable manner.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the production of light-stable, solvent-resistant polyurethane urea elastomer coatings by the reactive coating process wherein NCO prepolymers are reacted with 4,4'-diamino-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -tetraalkyldicyclohexylalkanes containing up to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group with continuous mixing and continuous discharge of the reaction mixture.
Abstract:
In the tanning or re-tanning of a hide with a tanning composition comprising a tanning-active substance and at least one of a Cr(III) salt, a dicarboxylic acid, a dicarboxylic acid salt, an emulsifier and an acid-binding agent, the improvement which comprises employing as said tanning-active substance a carboxylic acid carrying at least one of an ester, urethane or amide group. Advantageously the agent has at least two carboxyl groups per molecule and a molecular weight of about 170 to 30,000, preferably 310 to 10,000. The products are softer and better through-tanned and there is maximum utilization of chromium, thereby minimizing the waste disposal problem.
Abstract:
Bisulphite-blocked, polyether-modified polyisocyanates are outstandingly suitable, in combination with mineral tanning agents, for the tanning of leather.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to polyurethane ureas which may be obtained by the reaction of a hydrophilic NCO prepolymer, which has been prepared from a polyhydroxy component based on about 9 to 100% by weight of a polyether containing about 30 to 100% by weight of ethylene oxide, or a mixture of this hydrophilic NCO prepolymer and a hydrophobic NCO prepolymer, the mixture containing .gtoreq.30% by weight of the hydrophilic prepolymer, with an aldimine or ketimine-containing hardener mixture in the presence of water and organic solvents, approximately 30 to 70% of the NCO groups of the prepolymers being reacted with the amino groups of the hardener and the remainder reacting with water.The present invention is also directed to a process for the preparation of these polyurethane ureas and to coated substrates prepared from these polyurethane ureas.
Abstract:
This invention is concerned with a process for producing microporous coatings comprising (1) mixing an NCO-prepolymer prepared from polyisocyanates with compounds containing at least two isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms with about 3 to 40% by weight, based on the NCO-prepolymer, of a substantially inert, non-migrating liquid organic compound miscible with said NCO-prepolymer as a plasticizer; (2) adding about 3 to 300 weight % of water, based on the NCO-prepolymer, into the NCO-prepolymer-plasticizer mixture to form a water-in-oil emulsion; (3) adding a polyamine in a quantity substantially equivalent to the isocyanate groups; (4) applying a coating of the water-in-oil emulsion to a substrate; and (5) hardening the coating by evaporating the chemically unbound water from said coating.
