Aqueous solutions of N-methylol compounds of carboxamides, urethanes, ureas and aminotriazines or of N-methylol ethers of these compounds that are suitable for finishing cellulose-containing textile materials are prepared by reaction of compounds having one or more N--H groups in aqueous solution with formaldehyde and, in the case of N-methylol ethers, with an alcohol by adding boron trifluoride, a boron trifluoride addition compound or tetrafluoroboric acid or a salt thereof to the aqueous solutions during or immediately after the reaction.

Catonic urea/formaldehyde resins, their preparation and their use in the

Cationic urea/formaldehyde resins are obtainable by condensing urea and formaldehyde in a molar ratio of from 1:1.5 to 1:3 in the presence of polymers which contain not less than 1 mol % of polymerized vinylamine units and have Fikentscher K values of from 5 to 300, in an amount of from 5 to 50 g per mole of urea in the end product, where the mixture is first a) precondensed at a pH of from 8 to 14, then acidified and b) condensed at a pH of from 1 to 5 until gel formation begins, c) then from 0.3 to 1.5 moles of formaldehyde are added per mole of urea used, d) post-condensation is carried out and e) the resin solution is subsequently neutralized. The resins thus obtained are used in papermaking as assistants for increasing the dry and wet strength of paper and result in less dulling of the whiteness of the paper.

Cationic urea/formaldehyde resins, their preparation and their use in

Aqueous nonwoven binders that give reduced formaldehyde emission on curing are based on condensation products of urea or derivatives thereof, formaldehyde and glyoxal in a molar ratio, based on the solid binder, of from 1.5 to 2.5 moles of formaldehyde and from 0.1 to 0.5 mole of glyoxal per mole of the total urea used.
