The present invention relates to an agricultural film (AF) comprising at least one copolyamide, wherein the copolyamide has been prepared by polymerizing at least one lactam and a monomer mixture (M). The present invention further relates to a process for producing the agricultural film (AF) and to the use of the agricultural film (AF) as mulch film, as silage film, as greenhouse film or as silo film.

Agricultural film comprising a copolyamide of a diamine, a dimer acid and a lactam

A method for cleaning a substrate which is or comprises a textile, the method comprising agitating the substrate and a cleaning composition comprising: i. cleaning particles comprising a thermoplastic polyamide and a hydrophilic material at least part of which is located inside the cleaning particle, said cleaning particles having an average particle size of from 1 to 100 mm; and ii. a liquid medium. An apparatus suitable for performing said method comprising a rotatable cleaning chamber and a particle storage tank containing the cleaning particles. Use of the cleaning particles for cleaning a substrate which is or comprises a textile.

Cleaning method, apparatus and use

Thermoplastic polyamide particles comprising at least one polyamide and at least one polymeric ionic compound comprising imidazolium groups (imidazolium compound), the thermoplastic polyamide particles having an ellipsoidal or approximately ellipsoidal shape with the largest diameter of 1 to 100 mm, preferably 2 to 10 mm, more preferably 3 to 8 mm.

Thermoplastic polyamide particles

The present invention relates to a process for producing a diblock copolymer comprising the reaction of at least one aromatic polyester having a melting point in the range from 160&#xb0; C. to 350&#xb0; C. and at least one polymer diol having a melting point of less than 100&#xb0; C. at a temperature of greater than 200&#xb0; C. to obtain a mixture (G-a); and the reaction of the mixture (G-a) with at least one diisocyanate, wherein the diisocyanate is employed in a molar amount of at least 0.9 based on the alcohol groups of the polymer diols. The present invention further relates to diblock copolymers obtained or obtainable according to such a process and to the use of such diblock copolymers for producing extruded, injection molded and pressed articles and also foams, cable sheaths, hoses, profiles, drive belts, fibers, nonwovens, films, moldings, plugs, housings, damping elements for the electricals industry, automotive industry, mechanical engineering, 3-D printing, medicine and consumer goods.

Method for producing a diblock copolymer

This invention relates to cleaning particles, methods for their preparation, cleaning compositions and their use for laundry cleaning of soiled substrates.

Cleaning particles and their use

A method for cleaning a substrate which is or comprises a textile, the method comprising agitating the substrate in the presence of a cleaning composition comprising: i. cleaning particles comprising a thermoplastic polyamide and a particulate inorganic filler having a density of at least 2.5 g/cm, said cleaning particles having an average particle size of from 1 to 100 mm, wherein the cleaning particles have an average density of at least 1.65 g/cmand/or the particulate inorganic filler has a Dparticle size of at least 10 microns and/or a Dparticle size of at least 40 microns; and ii. a liquid medium.
