Title: Improvements in the production of aminoplastic precondensates
IPC: C07G99/00
Filed: 1958-06-03
Abstract: In the process of the parent Specification in which formaldehyde is reacted with the adduct of an epihalogenhydrin and a resin forming amino compound, two improvements are described: (1) the reaction is effected in the presence of a hydroxide of Ca, Ba, Mg or Sr, and (2) the methylol groups of the reaction product are alkylated with an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of C1-6.  Urea and/or melamine are the only amino-compounds disclosed, and epichlorohydrin is the only epihalohydrin.  In process (2) the formaldehyde reaction may have been carried out in the presence of NaOH, and if phosphoric acid is used as the subsequent alkylating catalyst, the resultant sodium phosphate may be filtered off; HCl is also mentioned as an alkylating catalyst. Aqueous solutions of the products of either improved process are used to impregnate cellulosic textile material (see Group IV(c)), in which case MgCl2 may be added as a hardener.  In the examples the amino compound and the epihalohydrin are reacted in aqueous solution and the formaldehyde is in aqueous or methanolic solution.ALSO:In the process of the parent Specification in which formaldehyde is reacted with the adduct of an epihalogenhydrin and a resin forming amino compound, two improvements are described:-(i) the reaction is effected in the presence of a hydroxide of Ca, Ba, Mg or Sr, and (ii) the methylol groups of the reaction product are alkylated with an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of C1-C6.  Urea and/or melamine are the only amino compounds disclosed, and epichlorohydrin is the only epihalohydrin.  In process (ii) the formaldehyde reaction may have been carried out in the presence of NaOH, and if phosphoric acid is used as the subsequent alkylating catalyst, the resultant sodium phosphate may be filtered off; HCl is also mentioned as an alkylating catalyst.  Aqueous solutions of the products of either improved process (see Group IV(a)) may be used to impregnate cellulosic textile materials (see Group IV(c)).  In the examples the amino compound and the epihalohydrin are reacted in aqueous solution and the formaldehyde is in aqueous or methanolic solution.ALSO:Cellulosic textile materials, e.g. cellulose, regenerated cellulose, modified cellulose and viscose rayon staple which has never been dried, may be impregnated with an aqueous solution of a stable, water-soluble, aminoplast precondensate described below, and heated to insolubilize the resin and reduce the water imbibition of the impregnated material.  The precondensates are modified forms of the reaction products of formaldehyde with the adduct of an epihalogenhydrin and a resin-forming amino-compound of the parent Specification.  The modifications are either in the catalyst (see Groups IV(a) and IV(b)) or in that the methylol groups of the reaction product are alkylated with an aliphatic C1-6 hydrocarbon radical.  Urea and/or melamine are the only amino compounds disclosed, and epichlorohydrin is the only epithalohydrin. Magnesium chloride may be added as a catalyst. Examples are given.

Abstract: 530,339. Electric heating resistances. BRITISH THOMSON - HOUSTON CO., Ltd. (General Electric Co.). June 21, 1939, No. 18107. [Class 39 (iii)] [Also in Group II] An electric heating element of the type described in Specification 144,767, [Class 39 (iii)], is provided with an integral coating of metallic oxide on the inner surfaces of the sheath. This inner surface is first sand-blasted, and pickled by treating with a 50 per cent. solution of hydrochloric acid containing 3 per cent. hydrofluoric acid at about 180‹F. for half an hour, after which it is treated with hot concentrated sulphuric acid. Instead of pickling, the tube may be treated with hydrogen sulphide gas for five minutes at about 1100‹F. After one of these treatments oxygen at atmospheric pressure is passed through the tube for five minutes at 2200‹F., whilst the outer surface of the tube may be provided with an inert or reducing atmosphere. In an alternative method, the tube after sandblasting is coated with a 68 per cent. suspension of alumina in a glycerol-phthalate resin, and heated to 250‹F. for one hour, to 400‹F. for another hour, and then heated to 2200‹F. for about twenty minutes. The coating may also be of beryllium oxide. The resistance 10 may be an alloy of nickel 80 per cent. and chromium 20 per cent., and may be spaced by magnesium oxide 12 from a sheath 11 which may be an alloy of nickel 79 per cent., chromium 13 per cent. and iron 8 per cent.

Patent GB-1013577-A (GB)
Title: A process for the modification of proteins
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1963-05-09
Abstract: Modified proteins, e.g. gelatine, useful in the preparation of blood plasma substitutes, are prepared by causing the free carboxyl groups of the protein to react with the amino groups thereof to cause inter- and intra-molecular cross-linking and subsequently preferentially splitting some of the original peptide bonds. The cross-linking reaction may be brought about by activation of the reacting groups by methods known per se, e.g. the carboxyl groups may be activated with carbodiimidines, e.g. dicyclohexyl- and cyclohexylmorpholinyl ethyl carbodiimide, or with nitrogen analogues of ketenes, whereby the carboxyl groups will react under mild conditions with the amino groups in the protein molecules.  The subsequent splitting of some of the original peptide links may be achieved by chemical means, e.g. with trypsin or acid, or by heat.ALSO:Blood plasma substitutes comprise proteins, e.g. gelatine, which have been modified by causing reaction of the carboxyl and amino groups and consequent inter-and intra-molecular crosslinking and sub-sequently preferentially splitting some of the original peptide linkages (see Division C3). The modified proteins may be dispersed in water and the solutions made isotonic and sterile.
