Colorless formulations of optical brighteners from the 4,4'-bis-triazinylamino-stilbene-disulfonic acid series, which are obtained by heating the brightener together with an oxyalkylate.

Process for the transformation of comminuted and modified cellulose ether swellable with water, into a material that may easily be further processed and may thus be used without difficulty in particular in the production of hygienic pads, napkins, bandages, tampons, wrapping papers, insulating material, household papers and similar articles. In said process the modified cellulose ether is attached by electrostatic flocking to at least one surface of a web-shaped hydrophilic support that has been wetted with water and the support is dried.

Electrostatic deposition of swellable, modified cellulose ether on water

Process for the preparation of 1,4-naphthodinitrile, by reacting o-phenylene-diacetonitrile with a glyoxalbisaldimine. By this process the 1,4-naphthodinitrile is easily obtained in a one-step process. This compound is an important intermediate for the production of 1,4-naphthalene-dicarboxylic acid.

Inorganic per-compounds-containing oxidizing, bleaching and washing compositions having a content of acylated oxamides as activators for the inorganic per-compounds. Said activators permit better utilization of the active oxygen while securing good stability to storage.
