A composition and method for providing a non-formaldehyde durable press finish to cellulosic fabrics by employing polyphosphinocarboxylic acids are disclosed. The polyphosphinocarboxylic acid is preferably polyphosphinoacrylic acid, and is optimally used in combination with phosphonoalkylpolycarboxylic acid, and, for cost effectiveness, a low-cost polycarboxylic acid such as citric acid. The catalyst for the curing reaction is preferably a phosphorus-containing acid or alkali metal salt thereof such as a mixture of sodium monophosphate and sodium hypophosphite.

A composition and method for providing a non-formaldehyde durable press finish to cellulosic fabrics by employing phosphonoalkylpolycarboxylic acids are disclosed. The phosphonoalkylpolycarboxylic acid is optimally used in combination with another polycarboxylic acid, such as polyacrylic acid, and/or, for cost effectiveness, a low-cost polycarboxylic acid such as citric acid. The catalyst for the curing reaction is optimally a phosphorus-containing acid or alkali metal salt thereof, such as a mixture of sodium monophosphate and sodium hypophosphite.

A method for reducing abrasion of plastic surfaces in moving contact with parts of processing equipment is disclosed involving the use of a novel lubricant which is the reaction product of a short chain alcohol and a short chain oxide, preferably glycerol and a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, in aqueous solution.

The tendency of microporous material to discolor over a period of time when exposed to the atmosphere during normal usage can be reduced if the microporous material comprises whiteness retaining organic surface active agent.

Disclosed is a soil release composition for application to or finishing on polyester textile that is heat set at a temperature of 375.degree. F. (191.degree. C.) or higher, said composition comprising a non fiber forming polyester-polyether copolymer and an antioxidantly effective amount of the butylated reaction product of dicyclopentadiene with p-cresol.

Oil-in-water microemulsion cleaning compositions comprising four principal components are described. These four components are a terpene solvent, e.g., d-limonene, an aliphatic glycol monoether co-solvent, e.g., dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, a mixture of non-ionic surfactants selected from (1) a capped alkylphenol ethoxylate or an ethoxylated higher aliphatic alcohol, and (2) a fatty acid alkanolamide, and water. The cleaning composition may be used in concentrated form or in a diluted form. The composition may be used for cleaning soil from among others glass and metal parts.

Describes alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated poly(alkyleneoxy) compounds that display surfactant activity and that polymerize when used in the emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, including vinyl monomers. Certain of the polymer products are useful in imparting improved hand or feel to textile fabrics.

Polymerizable surfactant

Disclosed are concentrated water-in-oil neem oil emulsions containing a pesticidally effective amount of azadirachtin, which concentrated emulsions, upon dilution with water, form storage stable oil-in-water emulsions.
