Patent GB-1007026-A (GB)
Title: Method of repelling water from a transparent member
IPC: B64C1/28
Filed: 1963-07-16
Abstract: A method of producing a water-repellent coating on a transparent member comprises applying a solution of a compound of the formula <FORM:1007026/B1-B2/1> wherein R1 is an aliphatic radical containing from 12-22 carbon atoms, R2 is a methyl radical or an aliphatic radical containing from 12-22 carbon atoms, R3 is a methyl or <FORM:1007026/B1-B2/2> p  radical, R4 is a methyl or <FORM:1007026/B1-B2/3> radical, m and n are positive integers whose sum is from 2-15, R5 is H or a methyl radical and X is an anion, to the surface of a transparent member having surface donor sites and permitting the solvent to be removed from the solution.  The process is applicable to glass and transparent plastics materials. A donor site is defined as a position available for acceptance of a water-repellent substance, especially such as an anionic charge site and also a hydrogen bond site or an acidic site.  The solvent used for making up the solution may be aqueous or non-aqueous. The solution may be applied to the surface by spraying, rubbing or splashing.  Conveniently a container of the solution may be stored on board an aircraft or boat and connected by tubing to a nozzle directed toward the windscreen.  During rain tending to reduce the visibility of the pilot, the solution may be sprayed upon the windscreen.  The impingement of raindrops assists the spreading of the solution.  During continuous rain it is necessary to repeat the application at intervals of from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to detergent alkylates
Inventor: FEIGHNER GEORGE CHRISTY
IPC: C07C17/10
Filed: 1962-07-30
Abstract: A detergent alkylate is prepared by alkylating an aromatic hydrocarbon with a chlorinated mixture of straight-chain paraffins containing 8-18 carbon atoms and comprising substantially only mono-chlorinated paraffins.  The straight-chain paraffins are separated from petroleum mixtures by a molecular sieve absorption or urea adduction and are reacted with chlorine to mono-chlorinate 10-35% of the paraffins.  Preferred paraffin mixtures contain n to n + 4 carbon atoms where n is 10, 11 or 12 and contain at least 10% wt. of each individual.  Benzene is the preferred aromatic but toluene, xylene and naphthalene are also mentioned; they are used in amounts of 1-20 parts per part of alkyl chloride by weight to obtain mono-alkyl product.  Alkylation is effected with aluminium chloride conventionally, preferably with recycle of the catalyst sludge.  The products are principally sec.-alkyl aromatics with very little n-alkyl product.  Biodegradable detergents are obtained from the above alkylates by sulphonation and forming the alkali metal salts. An example tests a formulation of 20% sulphonate, 40% sodium tripolyphosphate, 5-10% sodium silicate and 35-30% sodium sulphate.
