Reaction products prepared by processes which comprise reacting:

Polyfluorinated compounds useful as surfactants, foam control agents and/or rheology modifiers

Lithographic fountain solutions containing a surfactant-effective quantity of at least one reaction product comprising the following reactants: (A) at least one compound of formula IR(X)&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)wherein each X group is a halogen atom or one X group is a halogen atom and two X groups represent an epoxy oxygen atom, which is attached to two adjacent carbon atoms in the Rgroup to form an epoxy group, and Ris an alkanetriyl group containing from 3 to 10 carbon atoms; and (B) at least one compound having formula IIRX(AO)Y &#x2003;&#x2003;(II)wherein Ris a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, organic group having from 1 to 36 carbon atoms; X is &#x2014;O&#x2014;, &#x2014;S&#x2014;, or NR&#x2014; where Ris hydrogen or a C&#x2013;Calkyl group; each AO group is independently an ethyleneoxy, 1,2-propyleneoxy, or 1,2-butyleneoxy group, n is a number of from 0 to 200; and Y is hydrogen, or Y can be a mercapto group or an amino group or a C&#x2013;Calkylamino group in place of a terminal &#x2014;OH group, provided that when Y is mercapto or an amino group or a C&#x2013;Calkylamino group, n is at least 1.

Lithographic fountain solutions

Methods for treating wastewater comprising adding to wastewater a defoaming and/or surfactant-effective quantity of at least one base-catalyzed branched reaction product comprising the following reactants:

Wastewater treatment

Coating compositions for paper

Defoamers for aqueous systems

Compounds and compositions useful as surfactants and methods for their preparation

Ink compositions and methods of use therefor

Defoaming compositions

Branched polymeric surfactant reaction products, methods for their preparation, and uses therefor

Silica is rendered hydrophobic by a catalyst-free, in-situ process that includes contact with a hydrophobing agent under vacuum at elevated temperature for a time sufficient to replace adsorbed water in the silica with the hydrophobing agent. The resulting dispersion of hydrophobic silica in an inert, liquid, hydrophobic carrier medium is then subjected to high shear forces for a time sufficient to produce a homogeneous dispersion of hydrophobic silica particles in a defoaming composition.

Process for making defoaming compositions

Products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin and compounds having the formula II

Alkyl polyglycoside compositions having reduced viscosity and inhibited

Polymeric thickeners for aqueous compositions

Defoamers are the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin and compounds having the formula II
