Abstract:
Carboxylic acid diesters are employed for treating, in particular for cleaning textile materials, and more particularly for removing paint stains from textile fibers to improve the cleaning thereof; the subject dicarboxylic acid diesters have the formula (I), R1—OOC-A-COO—R2, in which R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are each a linear or branched, cyclic or non-cyclic C1-C20 alkyl, aryl, alkyaryl, or arylalkyl radical, and the group A represents a branched divalent C3-C10 alkylene radical.
Abstract:
Carboxylic acid diesters are employed for treating, in particular for cleaning textile and other materials, and more particularly for removing paint stains from textile fibers to improve the cleaning thereof; the subject formulations contain at least one dicarboxylic acid diester having the formula (I), R1—OOC-A-COO—R2, in which R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are each a linear or branched, cyclic or non-cyclic C1-C20 alkyl, aryl, alkyaryl, or arylalkyl radical; and the group A is a branched divalent alkylene radical; and including at least one nonionic polyalkoxylated terpene surfactant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to yarns, fibres or filaments made of thermoplastics and to their manufacture. It relates more particularly to yarns, fibres or filaments exhibiting good fire resistance properties and to processes for the manufacture of these articles. These yarns or fibres made of polymer are obtained by spinning a polymer comprising an additive possessing flame-retardant properties composed of at least particles of a solid substrate on which a flame-retardant compound is adsorbed.
Abstract:
Fire-retardant and intumescent compositions, especially for fireproofing such plastics as polyolefins, e.g., polypropylenes and polyethylenes, and such copolymers as polyethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), contain at least one organophosphorus compound that has at least one carbon-phosphorus covalent bond and at least one carboxyl functional group, at least one swelling agent selected from among organic compounds containing at least one nitrogen atom and at least one silicon mineral structuring agent that is not decomposed during the combustion thereof, e.g., a silicate and/or a silicon oxide.
Abstract:
A stripping composition that includes a dicarboxylic acid diester is described. The composition is useful and particularly efficient for stripping paint.
Abstract:
Novel dicarboxylic acid diesters and admixture thereof have the formula (I): R1—OOC-A-COOR2 (I) and are advantageously prepared from fusel oils; these are particularly suited for formulation into useful solvent, cosolvent, stripping, crystallization inhibiting, cleaning and degreasing compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an aqueous treatment composition for inhibiting corrosion and acid attack on metallic surfaces that comprises a thiourea organic derivative, a polyalkoxylated terpene nonionic surfactant and an acid. The invention also relates to a process for cleaning industrial metallic equipment, in particular heat exchangers in which a heat transfer fluid, generally based on air or on water, flows, with a view to cleaning them and removing scale and other soiling.
