Abstract:
A bath for dry cleaning solid articles, consisting essentially of at least one usual hydrocarbon dry cleaning solvent having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, which contains per liter 0.5 to 50 grams of water, 1 to 20 grams of isopropylamine-dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and 0.05 to 10 grams of a copolymer of at least 10 moles of a first monomer selection from the group consisting of methacrylic acid with at most 90 moles of a second monomer and consisting of alkyl acrylate and alkyl methacrylate the alkyl of which has 1 to 8 atoms, the molecular weight of the copolymer being 2,000 to 100,000.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF WASHING SOLID, MORE PARTICULARLY TEXTILE ARTICLES WITH AN ORGANIC SOLVENT, IMPROVED BY ADDING AN INTENSIFIER. THE INTENSIFIER IS A PRIMARY OR SECONDARY AMIDE OF A DICARBOXYLIC ALIPHATIC ACID OR ANHYDRIDE WHEREIN ONE CARBON ATOM IN THE CHAIN CONNECTING THE TWO ACID GROUPS BEARS AN ALKYL OR ALKENYL RADICAL CONTAINING AT LEAST SIX CARBON ATOMS. THE METHOD GIVES BETTER WHITENESS AND MORE PARTICULARLY PREVENTS THE RE-DEPOSITION OF DIRT.
Abstract:
A process for obtaining water-soluble acrylic polymers and copolymers by depositing a concentrated aqueous solution of the monomer(s) having a pH of at least 8 and a photopolymerization initiator, onto a substrate, either moving or not, as a continuous layer or as distinct droplets and subjecting the solution to a luminous irradiation for 30 sec.-15 minutes while controlling the temperature of the reaction mixture by cooling.
