Bleaching composition

A deinking agent for regenerating waste paper, which comprises a reaction product obtained by reacting a compound having an OH group, which is represented by the following (A) or (B) with a dicarboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof as an active ingredient:

Deinking agent for regenerating waste printed paper comprising reaction

A hemolysis depressant and a plasticizer each comprising a triglyceride compound. Resin compositions for medical appliances, medical implements and blood preserving liquid using the triglyceride compound as a hemolysis depressant are capable of preventing the blood held in contact therewith from the phenomenon of hemolysis by the activity of the compound in protecting erythrocytes. Vinyl chloride type resin compositions for medical appliances and medical implement using the compound as a plasticizer are substantially deviced of toxicity and offers extremely high safety.

Hemolysis depressant and plasticizer

A process is described for the production of an alkyl glycoside which comprises distilling a higher alcohol in the presence of an alkaline substance, or washing a higher alcohol with an aqueous solution of an alkaline substance, and then reacting the higher alcohol with a sugar or a reaction product of a sugar and a lower alcohol. According to this process, an alkyl glycoside showing an excellent hue can be produced by repeatedly using unreacted alcohol recovered from the reaction mixture in the production of an alkyl glycoside.

Process for the production of alkyl glycoside

A process is disclosed for the production of an alkyl glycoside excellent in hue, which comprises (1) reacting a sugar with alcohol to obtain an alkyl glycoside reaction product containing an unreacted higher alcohol, (2) reacting the resulting product with a metal/hydrogen complex represented by formula (I)

Process for production of alkyl glycoside excellent in hue

Lactic acid esters of an .alpha.-branched fatty acid possessing an excellent hair conditioning effect are disclosed. Typical example is sodium 2-heptylundecanoyl acid lactate prepared by the reaction of 2-heptylundecanoic acid and lactic acid in the presence of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide. This compound gives a shampoo composition in conjunction with an anionic surface active agent, and a hair rinse composition when a quaternary ammonium salt is formulated. The compositions have excellent conditioning effects on use such as good slipperiness and hair curling formation or retention performance.

Novel fatty acid-lactic acid ester

A porous film comprises a polyolefin resin, a filler and a polyester obtained from a polybasic acid, a polyhydric alcohol and a monobasic acid having 14 to 22 carbon atoms and/or a monohydric alcohol having 12 to 22 carbon atoms or a polyester obtained from a polybasic acid and a monohydric alcohol, the film being obtained by melting and moulding and then stretching. It has a good permeability to moisture and impermeability to liquid, and is useful for a sanitary napkin.

Porous film

Fragrant cyclohexanol derivatives are produced by condensing 2-ethylidene-5-norbornene with a phenol compound, in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst; and hydrogenating the condensation product in the presence of a metal catalyst. The compounds so produced have a green-floral odor and are advantageously used in soaps, detergents, shampoos, hair rinse, cosmetics, colognes and perfumes.
