An emulsifying agent for use in the preparation of water dispersible toxicant solutions which is storage stable on standing and which consists essentially of a mixture of an anionic surface active agent component and a nonionic surface active agent component, viz., an ethylene oxide adduct of an alkylphenol; the anionic component consisting essentially of amine salt of alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid; the amine being a diamine or triamine wherein the amine groups are separated by carbon atoms, oxyg...

The present invention relates to the use of certain steroid compounds as anabolic agents.

The invention relates to the use of 2,4-dioxo-1,2-dihydro-4H-benzoxazine as well as derivatives therefrom as blowing agents for the production of cellular and porous articles. These compounds do not liberate any corrosive, discolorizing, malodorous or toxic decomposition products.

Thiazolo(5,4-d)thiazoles substituted with polycyclic aromatic groups or heterocyclic groups either directly onto the 2- and 5-positions or onto the 2- and 5-positions through conjugated linking groups, are valuable brightening agents for use in photographic elements or in polymeric materials.

Algicidal compositions of, and methods of combating algae including slime bacteria, using certain N-chlorophenyl-alkylene polyamines and their corresponding water soluble salts, some of which are known, which possess algicidal and slime bactericidal properties and which may be produced by conventional methods.

Novel high molecular weight water soluble polymers containing methylolacrylamide and aminomethylacrylamide units and process for their preparation by reaction of an amine and formaldehyde with an acrylamide polymer. The polymers are superior flocculating agents especially for use with suspensions of high acid and/or ionic content and, in the form of their quaternary ammonium salts, the polymers have excellent stability.

Derivatives of benzoylacetic acids, esters and salts of the following general formula are useful as hypolipidemic agents: ##SPC1## Wherein R represents a straight or branched alkyl chain of from 10 to 17 carbon atoms; X represents oxygen or divalent sulfur; and R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, a straight or branched lower alkyl chain of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or aralkyl.

The present invention relates to compositions of matter which are especially useful as beneficiating agents in the production of well drilling muds. These compositions comprise mixtures of carboxylic acid polymers and metal salts which mixtures are water soluble at a pH of less than 7.0 wherein the metal is selected from groups IB, IIB, VIB, VIIB and VIII of the Periodic Table and lead.

Compounds of the formula ##SPC1## And derivatives thereof, including esters, thioesters, and ammonium and metal salts thereof, wherein R.sub.1 is aryl, unsubstituted 2-furyl or 2-furyl substituted at the 5-position by halogen or NO.sub.2 ; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are H or CH.sub.3 and X is Cl or Br, are selective defoliating herbicides useful to control weeds in agriculture and horticulture, e.g., cultivation of corn, rice and cotton.
