The invention provides improvements in processes for film and fiber production involving precipitating cellulose from tertiary amine oxide solutions wherein a water soluble polymer is incorporated into the solution in an amount sufficient to slow precipitation of the cellulose during separation of the cellulose from the tertiary amine oxide.

Processes for precipitating tertiary amine oxide cellulose solutions

A method of shirring cellulosic skinless sausage casing comprises applying shirring solution comprising a member selected from the group of proteases and lipases in an amount effective to degrade the stuffed sausage contents adjacent the casing prior to peeling of the casing.

The invention provides improvements in processes for film and fiber production involving precipitating cellulose from tertiary amine oxide solutions wherein an ester is incorporated into the solution in an amount sufficient to slow precipitation of the cellulose during separation of the cellulose from the tertiary amine oxide.

A method to impart permanent stain resistance to polyamides, including nylon fiber and fibrous articles such as carpet and carpet tile, that includes treating the fiber with an isocyanate under moderate conditions that do not damage other materials that the fiber is attached to. Nylon carpet and carpet tile treated according to this method are highly suited for commercial use because they retain their stain resistance after repeated washings.

Permanent stain resistant treatment for polyamide fibers

Chemically prepared mica and vermiculite materials are described along with the method for preparing them. The mica and vermiculite has dimethylacetamide-lithium chelation complexes at interlayer cationic sites. These materials can be made into suspensions and flocculated.

Dimethylacetamide mica and vermiculite suspensions

A biocidal phosphate ester in combination with an inert inorganic or organic particulate or polymeric carrier. The biocidal-carrier composition is useful in extending the effective lifetime of the biocidal phosphate ester when incorporated into a variety of materials including plastics, fibrous materials, and solutions. Applications of the disclosed carrier compounds include preparation of mildew resistant paints and plastics having extended antimicrobial properties despite extensive washing and wear of the surface.
