A liquid low-foaming nonionic surfactant composition is provided which exhibits superior wetting characteristics and general good scouring and/or detergency properties which comprises a block-random structure represented by the formula

Low-foaming nonionic surfactants

Lubricant compositions for finishing synthetic fibers which exhibit improved thermal stability and low-fuming characteristics are provided which contain 50 to 90 percent by weight of a thermally stable lubricant and 10 to 50 percent by weight of an emulsifiably effective surfactant having the formula:

Lubricant compositions for finishing synthetic fibers

An improved method is provided for treating and processing textile materials which comprises contacting said textile materials with an aqueous composition containing a low-foaming, nonionic surfactive agent having a block-random structure represented by the formula:

Method for treating and processing textile materials

Esters of lower aliphatic dibasic acids and fatty alcohol alkoxylates have been prepared having excellent low-foaming and scouring properties.

Low foam scouring agents

A spin finish for synthetic fibers has been developed consisting essentially of a thermally stable lubricant and a surfactant derived from an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block co-polymer adduct of an alkylated phenol.

A process for the reductive alkylation of secondary amines with either aliphatic aldehydes or aliphatic ketones in contact with hydrogen, a water-segregating agent and a hydrogenation catalyst to form tertiary amines.

Production of tertiary amines by reductive alkylation

Compositions containing an amine acrylate and another radiation curable composition. The amine acrylates are produced by the reaction of a diacrylate ester and an organic amine. The compositions are rapidly cured by electron beam radiation as well as other types of radiation as well as by light curing means; they are useful in the field of protective coatings.

Amine acrylate addition reaction product compositions

Amine acrylates are produced by the reaction of a diacrylate ester and an organic amine. The amine acrylates are rapidly cured by electron beam radiation as well as other types of radiation as well as by light curing means. These compounds and coating compositions containing them are highly useful in the field of protective coatings. Illustratively, the diacrylate ester of diethylene glycol is reacted with piperazine to produce piperazine diacrylate.
