Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing aqueous solutions of acrylic acid polymers by polymerizing acrylic acid in feed mode with a radical starter in the presence of hypophosphite in water as a solvent, wherein (i) water and optionally acrylic acid in acidic, non-neutralized form, optionally one or more ethylenically unsaturated comonomers, optionally aqueous hypophosphite solution, and optionally initiator are introduced, (ii) acrylic acid in acidic, non-neutralized form, optionally one or more ethylenically unsaturated comonomers, aqueous radical starter solution, and aqueous hypophosphite solution are added, (iii) after the end of the acrylic acid feed, a base is added to the aqueous solution, wherein the comonomer content does not exceed 30 wt% with respect to the total monomer content, characterized in that the acrylic acid, the aqueous radical starter solution, and the aqueous hypophosphite solution are added in such a way that, over a time period in which at least 75% of the acrylic acid is converted, the molar ratio x of acrylic acid to phosphorus-bonded hydrogen [AA]/[P-H] has a value x that is constant to ±0.5 and that lies in the range of 0.8 to 2.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of poly(oxyalkylene)oxy- and/or poly(oxyalkylene)aminoalkyltrialkoxysilanes of the general formula (I) where the symbols and indices in the formula (I) have the following definitions: -X- is -O- or -N(R 4 ) 2-a -; -Y- is -CH 2 -; -z- is -O-(CH 2 ) d -C(R 5 ) 2-c -; a is 1 if -X- = -O-, and 1 or 2 if -X- = -N(R 4 ) 2-a -; b is 0 or 1; c is 0, 1 or 2; d is 0 or 1; m is selected independently from an integer from 1 to 6; p is a number from 7 to 200; R 1 is identical or different and selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, and phenyl; R 2 is H or methyl; R 3 , R 4 , R 5 are each identical or different and selected independently from the group consisting of H and linear or branched C 1 -C 6 alkyl; R 6 is identical or different and selected independently from the group consisting of H, methyl and ethyl; and R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H, linear or branched C 1 -C 6 alkyl, linear or branched C 1 -C 10 alkanoyl, and C 6 -C 10 aryloyl; as dispersants for aqueous suspensions composed of aggregates and hydraulic binders, and also to the aqueous suspensions as such. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the alkyltrialkoxysilanes, and to the alkyltrialkoxysilanes as such.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for preparing a composition comprising an isoprenol- alkoxylate having an isoprene-content of not more than 1000 ppm. The present invention also relates to compositions prepared or obtainable by such methods. The present invention further relates to the use of peroxides for decreasing the isoprene-content in a composition.
