Leverkusen, Germany, assignors to Bayer Aktiengesellschaft, Leverkusen, Germany No Drawing. Filed Apr. 1, 1971, Ser. No. 130,489 Claims priority, application Germany, Apr. 7, 1970, P 20 16 470.9 Int. Cl. D061 3/12 US. Cl. 252-3012 W 5 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Process for the production of stable aqueous dispersions of sparingly water-soluble optical brightening agents, characterised in that association complexes of these brightening agents and low-molecular complex formers are introduced into aqueous solutions of polymeric compounds, which may contain surface-active agents, wherein such optical brighteners are preferably used, whose association complexes with 1,3-dinitrobenzene exhibit in a dioxan solution containing the brightening agent in a molar and 1,3-dinitrobenzene in a 2.7-molar concentration at C. and a layer thickness of 1 cm. a AAm-value of between 5- l0- and 600 l0 The present invention relates to stable aqueous dispersions of sparingly water-soluble optical brightening agents and to the production and use thereof.
It is generally known to prepare dispersions of this kind by comminuting the brightening agent in a first step in a comparatively expensive way by means of suitable grinding devices, such as sand or bead mills, to an optimum granular size of 0.3 to 0.5a, and to stabilise the resultant system in a second step by the addition of dispersing agents which surround the particles of the brightening agents (cf. Ullman, Enzyklop'zidie der techn. Chemie, Edition B, volume 1, p. 718).
However, the bead or sand mills to be used for comminuting the active substance have a number of disadvantages. For example, the material to be ground must frequently be prepared by a preliminary operation because the active substance, water dispersing agent and possibly a tenside have to be mixed. Furthermore, a certain viscosity must not be exceeded. This constitutes a limitation of the concentration of the active substance and thus of the space/time yield. After removal from the mill, the ground material must be separated from the grinding media. If the tenside or dispersing agent has not been added from the start, a second mixing operation then follows, and this is succeeded by the further process steps, e.g. spray drying and others.
It has now been found that stable aqueous dispersions of sparingly water-soluble optical brightening agents are obtained in a simple way by introducing association complexes of these brightening agents and water-soluble lowmolecnlar complex formers into aqueous solutions of polymeric compounds which may contain surface-active agents.
Association complexes of optical brightening agents have not yet been described in the literature. Consequently, it was not obvious to use them for the preparation of aqueous dispersions of brightening agents.
The term complexes as used in the present case means electron donor-acceptor complexes which are frequently designated in the literature as charge-transfer complexes and are described, for example, by Brlegleb in Elektronen-Donator-Acceptor-Komplexe (Springer Verlag Berlin 1961, pp. l-7). A characteristic feature of such complexes is the so-called charge-transfer band (CT- band) in the absorption spectrum. The procedure for measuring the CT-band consists in measuring the increase of the extinction in the visible or ultra-violet range of the spectrum as compared with the extinction of the donator (D) and acceptor (A), i.e. in determining the extinction module which is suitable for comparing dilferent com plexes of the same kind. The following measuring parameters are fixed for establishing the module:
[Do] 10- molar=donor (brightening :agent) concentration [Ao] =2.7 molar=acceptor concentration total total i. Q l 450-500 450 500 Since the complex AD absorbs longer waves than the components A and D, the change of extinction depends on the formation of the complex AD and is defined as follows:
To simplify the notation, the indices are left out in the following and an A A 450-500 is replaced with AAm.
The complex is sufiiciently defined by stating the value AAm: a high value indicates a high afl'lnity.
According to the invention there are used those optical brightening agents whose solubility in water preferably is below 5 g. per litre and Whose association complex with 1,3-dinitrobenzene has AAm value of between 5-10- and 600'l0 under the standard conditions described above. They comprise, in particular: 1,3-diaryl-pyrazolines such as are described e.g. in Austrain patent specification No. 260,924; French patent specification No. 1,453,061; German patent specification No. 1,080,963; British patent specification No. 883,826; and Swiss patent specification No. 415,535, more particularly AA'm =385-10 AAm=600-10- A Am =335-10' Styrylbenzoxazoles, as eg described in the French patent specification No. 1,397,629, specifically O HZtC- A Am=13l0 3-arylor S-heteryl-coumarins, e.g.
furthermore, sparingly water-soluble optical brightening agents which contain a pyrene nucleus, such as are described e.g. in Belgian patent specification No. 625,678 and British patent specification No. 1,141,454, more particularly (lJCHa N I I NJ-O CH3 tetrahydrotliionaphthenes, more particularly bis-benzoxazolyl-thiophenes according to German patent specifications Nos. 1,166,197 and 1,226,583, c.g.
bis-benzimidazolyl-ethylenes according to German patent specifications Nos. 883,286 and 841,752, e.g.
A Am=74-10- bis-benzoxazolyl-stilbenes according to US. patent specifications Nos. 3,260,715 and 3,322,680, e.g.
as well as bis-triazinyl-stilbenes according to Swiss patent specification No. 472.416, e.g.
Suitable low-molecular complex formers are Watersoluble colourless compounds which have little odour and are physiologically unobjectionable, preferably those containing amide groupings, such as open-chain and cyclic carboxylic acid amides and imides as well as ureas, but also sulphoxides and unsaturated, preferably polybasic carboxylic acids.
Suitable amides are, for example, methyl formamide, dirnethyl formamide, diethyl formamide, dirnethyl acetamide, pyrrolidone, piperidone, N,N-dimethyl thiocetamide, acrylamicle.
Suitable imides are e.g. maleinimide, N-methyl maleinimide, N-ethyl maleiuimide, N-propyl maleinimide, N- butyl maleinimide, N-(B-hydroxyethyl)-maleinimide, succinimide, phthalimide, N-methyl phthalimide, N-butyl phthalimide, N-(fi-hydroxyethyl)-phthalimide.
Suitable ureas are, for example, urea, methylurea, N, N-dimethyl-urea, N,N'-dimethyl-urea, ethylene-urea.
Suitable sulphoxides are, for example, dimethyl sulphoxide and diethyl sulphoxide.
Suitable unsaturated carboxylic acids are, for example, maleic acid, phthalic acid, tetrachloro-phthalic acid, 4,5- dimethyl-phthalic acid, acrylic acid.
Water-soluble polymers which can be used according to the invention are primarily the following types:
(1) vinyl polymers (2) graft polymers of vinyl compounds on to polyethers and/or polyacetals (3) homoand copolymers of maleic acid and its derivatives.
Suitable vinyl polymers are homoand copolymers of vinyl-pyrrolidone, vinyl-piperidone, vinyl alcohol, vinyl acetamide, vinyl formamide, N-methyl-acrylamide, acrylamide, methacryloyl-taurine, hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl (meth)-acrylate. Water-soluble polyvinyl esters, i.e. those containing carboxyl groups, are also suitable.
Polyvinyl-pyrrolidone and polyhydroxyethyl acrylate are particularly preferred.
Suitable graft polymers are those of vinyl acetate and/ or vinyl pyrrolidone on to polyethers of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide or polyacetals from diand/or triethylene glycol and formaldehyde, provided these compounds are water-soluble.
The preparation of such graft polymers is known and is described, for example, in German Auslegeschriften (published specifications) Nos. 1,111,394; 1,077,430 and 1,161,423.
Suitable polymers derived from maleic acid are homoand copolymers of maleic acid itself or its anhydride, its esters and amides, but especially of its semiesters and/or semiamides and cyclic amides (imides), provided they contain a suflicient number of water-solubilizing groups.
The semiesters are prepared in known manner by reacting the corresponding maleic anhydride polymers with alcohols in the presence or absence of a solvent or dispersing agent. As alcohols, there are preferably used those mono-hydroxyl compounds which either contain not more than 6 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol or cyclohexanol, or which are water-soluble addition products of at least 2 mol ethylene oxide on to a starting compound containing hydroxyl groups, such as p-phenyl-phenol or oleyl alcohol, isononyl-phenol, phenol, butanol, etc.; examples are addition products of about 13 mol ethylene oxide on to p-phenyl-phenol or of about mol ethylene oxide on to isononyl-phenol. The polymeric semiesters can also be produced in a simplified way by first preparing the corresponding maleic acid semiesters and subsequently subjecting these to a homoor copolymerisation with, for example, styrene, vinyl acetate, or vinyl ethers. These alcohols may be used in stoichiometrically deficient amounts or, preferably, in excess in which case they can act as solvent, if desired.
The semiamides are preferably prepared in known manner by reacting the maleic anhydride polymer with primary or secondary amines, possibly with mixtures of amines such as ammonia, methylamine, diethanolamine, cyclohexylamine or benzylamine; cyclohexylamine and diethanolamine are preferred.
Obviously, it is also possible to prepare and to use mixed semiester-semiamide polymers by using an alcohol as well as an amine.
Suitable homoand copolymers of maleinimide are, for example, those. described in German Offenlegungsschrift (published specification) No. 1,595,704 and Belgian patent specification No. 745,157.
In this group there are preferably used copolymers of maleic anhydride and styrene which have been reacted with addition products of ethylene oxide on to phenylphenol or nonyl-phenol and cyclohexylamine and are water-soluble, either directly or in the form of their ammonium salts.
The molecular weights of the polymers should expediently lie above 10,000, preferably between 15,000 and 200,000.
The quantitative proportion between optical brightening agent and water-soluble polymer may be between 10:1 and 1:10, preferably between 5:1 and 2:1.
As surface-active substances which may be added to improve dissolving, to reduce the viscosity of highly concentrated mixtures, for spontaneous dispersion and for increasing the brightening rate, there may be used nonionic and ionic tensides such as anion-active, cation-active or amphoteric tensides. A compilation of usable ionic tensides can be found in Schwartz-Perry-Berch: Surface Active Agents and Detergents (Vol. 2, Interscience Publishers Inc., New York, 1958). The anion-active tensides may be:
alkyl-sulphonates as described 10c. cit. p. 61 71;
alkylaryl-sulphonates as described loc. cit. p. 78-100;
fatty acid amidoalkane-sulphonates as described 100. cit.
alkyl-sulphuric acid ester salts as described loc. cit.
alkyland alkylphenol ether sulphonates as described in German Pat. No. 605,973;
amophoteric compounds, e.g. alkyl-aminoalkyl-sulphonates as described in DAS (German published specification) No. 1,020,144;
alkyl-benzimidazole-sulphonates as described in DAS (German published specification) No. 1,257,779;
cation-active products are mentioned 10c. cit on pages It is also possible to use condensed aryl-sulphonic acids, such as e. g. di-naphthalene-methanesulphonic acids; condensation products from naphthol-sulphonic acid, cresol, formaldehyde and sodium bisulphite (Fiat Final Report No. 1013), diphenyl ether sulphonic acid and formaldehyde (US. Pat. No. 2,315,951), hydroxydiphenylsulphonic acid and formaldehyde, urea and phenol, such as diphenol-sulphonic acid and formaldehyde [DAS (German published specifications) Nos. 1,113,457; 1,178,081].
The amounts of these ionic tensides are established for the individual association products by preliminary experiments, but they will preferably :amount to below 10%, referred to the amount of brightening agent. The amounts used are thus far lower than those of conventional dispersing agents.
The procedure for preparing the association complexes to be used according to the invention generally consists in combining approximately equimolar amounts of the brightening agent and the low-molecular complex former, and thoroughly mxing them by mechanical means. If the complex former has a solid consistency at room temperature, it is recommended to melt the components together and subsequently to comminute the solidified melt. If the association product is not stable to hydrolysis, it is possible to evaporate the solvent and to use the residue. The brightening agents can also be stirred in an inert slightly polar solvent, e.g. benzines, lower chlorinated hydrocarbons and others, with the associating substances, and the solvent removed after formation of the association product, e.g. by filtration or centrifuging.
However, it is particularly advantageous to carry out the formation of the association complex with the crude, possibly still moist brightening agent as it is isolated, for example, from the filter press at the end of the production process. This permits of dispensing with other expensive operations such as drying and comminuting operations. The complex formation can be recognised from a change of colour towards red, green, yellow-green or yellow shades and, in the case of association products with one liquid component, by a hardening of the initially tacky and viscous mass. The reaction time lies between a few seconds and 24 hours and strongly depends on the reaction conditions and the chemical structure of the components.
With the aid of the stable dispersions which can be obtained according to the new process it is possible to achieve on synthetic fibre materials outstanding brightening efiects whose degree of whiteness is higher than that obtainable with conventional mixtures. In particular, these dispersions permit of a faultless level penetration of wound packages, cones etc. in brilliant white shades. Very good brightening effects can also be attained on paper. Furthermore, there is achieved a very rapid dispersion in the slurry of detergents and improved brightening from wash liquors.
The new process for the production of dispersions of brightening agents may be illustrated in greater detail with the aid of the following examples:
EXAMPLE 1 50 g. of an association product of dimethyl formamide and 3-(p-chlorophenyl) l-(p-sulpharnidophenyl)-pyrazoline-Z in a molar ratio of 1:1 and 13.1 g. of a conventional polyvinylpyrrolidone are triturated in a mortar with 45 ml. of water containing 2 ml. of a 7.5% aqueous oleyl-benzyl-aminoethane-sulphonic acid. The thinly liquid, finely divided dispersion becomes viscous after standing for some time. This thixotropy can be prevented by replacing the water with a solution of g. urea in 35 ml. of Water. The content of active substance amounts to 35.2% and can be adjusted os desired by diluting with Water.
The average particle size amounts to 1.1 Dyeings carried out with this preparation wield a brilliant bluish White effect on polyacrylonitrile or polyamide fibres. Wound packages such as cones can also be faultlessly dyed through in a brilliant white shade.
When the product is incorporated in a detergent, there is achieved at 40 C. and in a reaction time of 10 minutes at a concentration of 50 mg/litre, a degre of whiteness, according to the degree of whiteness formula of Berger, of 116, compared with 111 as is obtained with a conventional dispersion of the optical brightening agent.
The association product used above is obtained in the following way: 67 g. 3-(p-chlorophenyD-l-(p-sulphamidophenyl)-pyrazoline-2 (industrial product) and 14.6 g. dimethyl formamide are combined to form a tacky mass. When this is shaken over night, it solidifies to give greenyellow hard lumps which are pulverised. The association product melts at 190 C. but resolidifies immediately to melt again at 228 C.
EXAMPLE 2 5 g. 1-(dimethoxy-triazinyl)-pyrene in the form of a 1:1 complex with dimethyl fonamide are triturated in a montar with 5 g. of a 50% aqueous solution of a graft polymer obtained from equal parts of vinyl acetate and polyethylene glycol 1550 and 6 g. of a 50% aqueous urea solution. A thinly liquid dispersion of very good dyeing properties is obtained; the degree of whiteness attainable on polyester fibres is higher than that of conventional formulations.
EXAMPLE 3 Instead of the 3-(p-chlorophenyl) l-(p-sulphamidophenyl)-l-pyrazoline-2 mentioned in Example 1, there is used 3 (l-chloropyrazolyl) 7 (3-m-ethyl-pyrazolyl) coum an'n, 3-phenyl-7-[2(4-phenyl 5 methyl)-l,2,3-triazolyll coumarin or 4 methyl T-diethylamino-coumarin, dispersions of similarly good tbrightening effect being obtained.
EXAMPLE 4 24 g. 3-(p-chlorophenyl) 1-(p-sulphamido)-pyrazoline- (2)-dimethyl formamide are triturated in a mortar with g. of a 15% aqueous solution of polyacrylamide and 5 ml. of a 50% aqueous urea solution. The dispersion contains particles of an average diameter of 1.5a. When a dispersion of 34 percent by weight of an optical brightening agent which is not present in the form of a complex and 8.2 percent by weight of the same polymer is treated in an analogous way, it yields an average particle diameter of only 3.1a.
The same effect is achieved when polyvinyl acetamide is used, instead of polyacrylamide.
EXAMPLE 5 24 g. 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-(p-sulphamidophenyl -pyrazoline-Z-dimethyl formamide are triturated in a mortar with 20 g. of a 16% aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid glycol ester and 5 g. of water. In this way there are obtained dispersions with an average particle diameter of 10 with which outstanding whitening effects can be achieved, for example, on polyacrylonitrile. The polyacrylic acid glycol ester may be replaced with a copolymer from acrylic acid and hydroxypropyl acrylate, a copolymer from equal parts of acrylic acid, acrylamide and hydroxypropyl methacrylate, or a polymer prepared according to the following instruction:
100 parts of an equimolar copolymer of vinyl acetate and maleic anhydride are hydrolysed in 200 parts of water at C., a clear solution of the acid form of the polymer being formed.
EXAMPLE 6 24 g. 3- p-chlorophenyl)-1- p-sulphamidophenyl -pyrazoline-Z-dimethyl formamide are intimately mixed with 20 g. of a 50 percent by weight aqueous solution of a polyethylene oxide graft polymer and 20 ml. of a 50 percent by weight aqueous urea solution. The average particle diameter amounts to 0.6 1., compared with 2.9;). in the case where a non-associated optical brightening agent is used.
To prepare the graft polymer, a mixture of parts of polyethylene oxide [molecular weight approx. 1500] and of a mixture of 67 parts vinyl acetate and 33 parts N-vinylpyrrolidone in which 1 part azo-diisobutyro-nitrile has been dissolved, is stirred under N at 75 C. for 20 hours. 200 parts of water are subsequently added and there is obtained a clear aqueous 50% solution of the resultant graft polymer.
Polymers which can be obtained according to the above instruction and in which (a) the vinyl acetate/N-vinyl-pyrrolidone mixture is replaced with 100 parts vinyl acetate or (b) with a mixture of 50 parts each of vinyl acetate and N-vinyl-pyrrolidone can be used with the same effect.
When 100 parts polyethylene oxide are replaced in the above instruction with a diethylene glycol-formaldehydepolyacetal with a molecular Weight of approx. 1300, then the average particle diameter amounts to 1.1g. with the use of the association product, and to 3.4 with the use of the non-associated brightening agent. A polymer in which 100 parts polyethylene oxide are replaced with 50 parts of a diethylene glycol-formaldehyde-polyacetal with a molecular Weight of approx. 1300 gives the same results. Graft polymers of 50 parts N-vinyl-pyrrolidone on to 100 parts polyethylene oxide 1550 or of equal parts of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone and polyethylene oxide 1550 can also be used.
EXAMPLE 7 24 g. 3- (p-chlorophenyl)-1- (p-sulphamidophenyl) -pyrazoline-Z-dimethyl formamide are triturated in a mortar with 20 g. of a 30 percent by weight aqueous solution of a reaction product of 1 part of an equimolar styrenemaleic anhydride copolymer and 1 part 3-dimethylaminol-amino-propane, and with 10 ml. of a 50%aqueous urea solution. The average particle diameter of the dispersion amounts to 0.4;.r.
The 3-dimethylamino-l-aminopropane can be replaced with comparable effect in the above instruction with diethanolamine or with polymers obtained according to the following instructions:
(a) 300 parts of an equimolar copolymer of maleic acid cyclohexyl se'miester and styrene with a molecular weight of approx. 30,000 are dissolved at 80 C. in 500 parts of an addition product of about 10 mol ethylene oxide on to 1 mol isononylphenol, and the solution is stirred for several hours. 55 parts of a concentrated aqueous ammonia solution and 750 parts of water are then added, and there is obtained an approx. 50% readily pourable solution which can immediately be used. The aver- 9 age particle diameter of a dispersion with 44.5% of optical brightening agent as dimethyl formamide addition product and 37% of the solution of the polymer amounts to 1.7;L.
(b) Into an autoclave there is introduced a mixture consisting of 400 parts of an equimolar copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride, molecular weight approx. 32,000, 220 parts diethanolamine, 600 parts of an addition product of about 14 mol ethylene oxide on to 1 mol p-phenyl-phenol, 2800 parts of water. The mixture is then heated at 160 C. for hours, and after cooling there is obtained a clear solution which can be immedi ately used; dry content approximately 30%.
(c) As above, but the water is replaced with a 10% aqueous ammonia solution, that is to say that an aqueous solution of the semiamide ammonium salt is formed.
EXAMPLE 8 24 g. 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-(p-sulphamidophenyl)-pyrazoline-2-dimethyl formamide are ground for /2 hour with g. of a 15% aqueous solution of a maleic acid polymer and with 10 ml. of a 50 percent by weight aqueous urea solution. The average particle size in the dispersion amounts to 1.1 1, whereas it amounts to 2.5;/. when the brightening agent was used in non-associated form. Under the same conditions the 1:1 complex of 3-(pchlorophenyl) 1 (p-methoxycarbonyl-phenyl)-pyrazoline-2 and dimethylsulphoxide yields a similar good result.
The polymer can be prepared as follows:
Into an autoclave there are introduced 3300 parts of water, 80 parts NaOH, 346 parts sulphanilic acid and 400 parts of an equimolar maleic anhydride-styrene copolymer with a molecular weight of approx. 80,000. The mixture is heated under N at 170 C. for 10 hours, and there is obtained a clear solution of the resultant imide which tends to gel upon cooling. This solution of the Na-salt is most expediently diluted to a solids content of 15% and then used.
The polymers obtained in the following way can be used with comparable effect:
(a) Into an autoclave there are introduced 800 parts of an equimolar styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer with a molecular weight of approx. 30,000, 2800 parts of water, 400 parts N-dimethyl-propylene-diamine-1,3, 240 parts acetic acid. The mixture is then heated at 170 C. for 10 hours, and after cooling there is obtained a clear solution of the basic imide in the form of the acetate.
(b) Into an autoclave there are introduced 800 parts of an equimolar styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, 800 parts of a concentrated aqueous ammonia solution and 2400 parts of water. The mixture is heated at 170 C. for 10 hours and there is obtained a slightly turbid solution of the resultant cyclic imide which is precipitated by acidification. The resultant solution is diluted to a dry content of 10 percent by weight for more convenient handling.
(c) As above, but this time there are used only 200 parts of the primary-tertiary diamine, and 200 parts cyclo hexylamine are added instead. The amount of acetic acid is reduced to 170 parts. The resultant imide likewise forms a solution; it tends to gel and is therefore expediently diluted to a dry content of EXAMPLE 9 The following low-molecular complex formers can be used, instead of the dimethyl formamide mentioned in Example 1: monomethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, phthalimide, N-butylphthalimide and tetrachlorophthalic acid.
For example, in a dispersion with a content of 15 percent by weight of the graft polymer of 1 part N-vinylpyrrolidone and 2 parts vinyl acetate on to polyethylene glycol 1550, and of 37 percent by weight of brightening agent active substance the average particle diameter achieved with the association product with dimethyl acetamide amounts to 1.01.4, with monomethyl formamide to 1.5 with dimethyl formamide to ().6,u., compared with 2.8;]. in the case of the non-associated brightening agent.
The degree of whiteness of the brightening elfects and the properties of the dispersion correspond to the data given in Example 1.
EXAMPLE 10 Instead of the oleyl-benzyl-aminoethane-sulphonic acid, the following com-pounds may be used in Example 1 as tensides or dispersing agents in the presence of polyacrylic acid glycol ester which takes the place of the polyvinyl-pyrrolidone mentioned in Example 1: bis-(hydroxydiphenyl-ether)-methane-sulphonic acid, bis-(hydroxy-trimethylene)-urea, diisobutylnaphthalene sulphonate. The degree of whiteness and the properties of the dispersion correspond to the data given in Example 1.
EXAMPLE 11 Instead of oleyl-benzyl-aminoethane-sulphonic acid, the following compounds may be used in Example 1 as tensides or dispersing agents in the presence of the reaction product of an equimolar maleic anhydride-styrene copolymer and sulphanilic acid, which takes the place of the polyvinyl-pyrrolidone mentioned in Example 1: glycerol-1,3-bis-(2-ethylhexyl-ether)-2, sulphuric acid ester, stearyl-benzyl-aminopropane-sulphonic acid, oleyl alcohol polyglycol ether (16 mol ethylene oxide), saccharose-polypropyl ethyl ether (10 mol polypropylene, 8 mol ethylene oxide). The degree of whiteness and the properties of the dispersion correspond to the data given in Example 1.
EXAMPLE 12 Instead of oleyl-benzyl-aminoethane-sulphonic acid, the following compounds may be used in Example 1 as tensides or dispersing agents in the presence of a graft polymer of 1 part N-vinyl-pyrrolidone and 2 parts vinyl acetate on to 3 parts polyethylene oxide 1350, which takes the place of the polyvinyl-pyrrolidone mentioned in Example 1: bis-diphenylether methane-sulphonate, saccharose-polypropyl ethyl ether (10 mol propylene oxide, 8 mol ethylene oxide), dodecyl-benzyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride, glycerol-1,3-bis-(2-ethylhexyl-ether)-2, sulphuric acid ester, sulphation products of the compound mentioned in German patent specification No. 740,104, Example 4.

Bombardier Transportation officially launched the construction of a new Bogie Technical Center in Siegen, Germany.
The new center of excellence is due to begin operations by mid-2014. The site will bring together Bombardier's engineering experts with the necessary tools and means to continue to develop and test the Flexx bogie portfolio to better fulfill customer requirements, in particular in terms of strict certification and homologation processes.
The Siegen site will form a unique production and innovation hub. It will comprise Bombardier Transportation's bogies headquarters, the new Bogie Technical Center, the existing final assembly area, Wheelset Center, and crash repair and overhaul center.
The multi-colored LED displays, part of the subway system's Public Address Customer Information System, will feature next train arrival and destination information as well as graphical information. A text to speech function aids visually impaired transit riders with clear and easy to access messaging.
To further enhance the agency's customer connectivity options, Metra will also be installing free Wi-Fi in the waiting areas of downtown stations within 45 days, and it recently announced plans to test Wi-Fi on 11 cars systemwide before January 2016.
Keolis selected HASTUS-Rail after receiving on-site demonstrations of the software handling various scenarios that showed significant efficiency gains, cost savings and flexibility to adapt to Keolis' operations, including compliance with the FRA's hours of service regulations, according to the company.
The strategic combination will create one of the world's largest public rail equipment companies, with revenues of about $4.5 billion and a presence in all key freight rail and passenger transit geographies worldwide.
The engine, rated at 4400 hp (3281 kW) will be delivered to Siemens® manufacturing facility in Sacramento, Calif., where it will be installed into a Charger® locomotive.

We need to improve the defense more than we need to have two starters in my opinion. If we can't improve the defense in a trade involving Howard, it's a non-starter to me though, to be clear. Then you definitely still want two good goalies for a minute, because as I've said, I don't expect Mrazek to have miraculously cleaned up all his consistency issues over the course of the lull-filled regular season. Bug again, getting a decent d-man for Howard would help more long term than keeping Howard in the short term.
This thread should be locked
Howard is not being traded or going anywhere, Petr and Jimmy will be rotated out, plain and simple

Glitter is bleeding from the corners of her baby blue eyes
I knew I was writing about someone when I was
Spellbound by a pearl white smile long lashes brushing against
Nearly faultless skin lips that twist only to pout out;
But wait are you seeing this as her real life or a mere picture?
The world inside isn't changing as her smile lights up the known-
Loathing what life has become for most.
She makes my world go dizzy as the colour spins
I never know where to stand in this insanity she whispered the story
When she fell down that rabbit hole life was never the same
Looking to find herself find her place only for it to fade away.
Because she's the one with the silver stars gleaming in hopeful dreaming eyes
"I'm the one they all know and admire they don't understand what it's like to be the lady of the flowers."
Words are spilling trickling like peaceful woodland fountains
Throw a pebble into the clear river see her reflection turn it cloudy limestone

She was tragically convinced flowers bloomed in the winter. Naked, she sits in the bathroom. Next to the only window no one could see into. Next to the sink that only had cold water. She takes her lipstick and writes on the mirrors when something particularly artistic and witty clogs her throat. The steam makes it run in long red streaks. She assumes her writing is so wounded that it bleeds. The real answer is that art is always cliche. Always she assumes the worst. Maybe she'll find that written on the mirror one morning. Clothes make her feel disgusting, like she's trying to hide something, some secret that everyone already knows anyway. She feels safer this way. Sometimes, when she cries her makeup runs just like her lipstick on the mirror. She lets it run dark trails down her shoulders to her stomach, then takes her finger and runs zigzag lines through it.

Treatment of injured donor lungs ex vivo to accelerate organ recovery and ameliorate reperfusion injury could have a major impact in lung transplantation. We have recently demonstrated a feasible technique for prolonged (12 h) normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP). This study was performed to examine the impact of prolonged EVLP on ischemic injury. Pig donor lungs were cold preserved in Perfadex® for 12 h and subsequently divided into two groups: cold static preservation (CSP) or EVLP at 37°C with Steen™ solution for a further 12 h (total 24 h preservation). Lungs were then transplanted and reperfused for 4 h. EVLP preservation resulted in significantly better lung oxygenation (PaO2 531 ± 43 vs. 244 ± 49 mmHg, p < 0.01) and lower edema formation rates after transplantation. Alveolar epithelial cell tight junction integrity, evaluated by zona occludens-1 protein staining, was disrupted in the cell membranes after prolonged CSP but not after EVLP. The maintenance of integrity of barrier function during EVLP translates into significant attenuation of reperfusion injury and improved graft performance after transplantation. Integrity of functional metabolic pathways during normothermic perfusion was confirmed by effective gene transfer and GFP protein synthesis by lung alveolar cells. In conclusion, EVLP prevents ongoing injury associated with prolonged ischemia and accelerates lung recovery.

With a gentle nuzzle and the wag of a tail, Rusty creates a sense of normalcy and helps make Trinity Place feel like a home rather than an institution. Audine Page, a resident at Trinity Place, pets Rusty.
Increasingly, science backs up the idea that dogs make us feel better. Interacting with dogs can help reduce stress, according to research from Kean University School of Nursing in Atlanta.

Please see our web site for some additional details on Boykins. The one thing I have noticed on this site is that very few of the Boykin pups and kennels listed reveal any health certifications of their dogs. When your paying $1000 or more for a puppy, you would think that the breeder would at least state some of the health requirements/recommendations of BSS dogs. OFA HIPS, CERF EYES, OFA HEART and EIC. The society helps owners with the cost of many of these test, many times at little or no cost. Do not take the risk of Paying $1000 for what may well turn out to be a very expensive health issue that the breeder will say they are sorry it happen to your pup. Increase your odds of a healthy Boykins by finding one from a breeder that has health certifications on their breeding adults. All of our health certifications are on our web site. showmeboykins.com

Doing 'right thing' is praised
Gothenburg is very fortunate to have corporate citizens like Dawson Tire & Wheel. I had an incident recently with a Dawson truck on I-80. The incident is not important but the actions of Dawson Tire are.
The insurance company denied my claim. Honestly, if one were to evaluate the circumstances there were unknowns to the extent that this was a fair call. In spite of this, Dawson Tire personnel advised me they would make it right and subsequently paid my deductible.
I wish Dawson Tire sold car tires as I would be a customer. I have been in business a long time and can verify that the expense of what Dawson Tire has done will prove to be beneficial as it is never a losing proposition to treat the public with respect. Here is a company that did what they thought was right even though they had a pass not to. It is obvious the attitude of this company resides with the employees. Gothenburg is fortunate to have such people for neighbors.

"From our first hello to the last goodbye, the hosts Joanie and Robert were fantastic people to have close by. We chose the Sunflower for our first leg of our honeymoon (7 nights) and we couldn't be more happier with our choice. Very centrally located in a peaceful neighborhood right above the Red Hook. Close to beaches, St. John ferry (which is a must), wonderful restaurants and night life. We had everything that we needed including FREE snorkel gear, beach chairs and also a cooler. Well furnished studio with a fridge, AC, comfortable bed and a flat screen TV. Waking up every morning, having our coffee on our private patio, watching the boats flying by, many rainbows after a short island rain as well as deer coming to feed 20 feet away... Just amazing... The words can't describe this place and the owners hospitality that we've experienced. Thumbs up!!! We are already planning a trip back and would love to stay at Sunflower again. Thank you Joanie and Robert. We've made some pretty amazing memories while staying in USVI"Guest: Michal F. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 15, 2015View listing
"We wanted a place where we could make memories for our kids and grandkids and Secret Haven fit the bill perfectly. Samantha made sure we had a great time, meeting us at the airport and being available for recommendations and small issues. Her home is lovely, close to the beach and the pool was a huge hit. Her recommendation for an all day powerboat ride to many St.Thomas beaches for snorkeling was the top experience for our kids. Great time!"Guest: Susan A. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 6, 2015View listing
"I highly recommend this beach side abode to a couple or person traveling to St Thomas for the first time or for the experienced traveler. It's above Secret Harbor Beach, the swimming is great, the unit is perfectly appointed and you can walk to the beach / restaurant . It's on a small hill and the sunrise / sunsets are amazing. You won't be disappointed."Guest: Liz Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 3, 2015View listing
"My girlfriend and I visited St. Thomas for a friend's wedding and came across this wonderful rental on VRBO. Jan, the owner, was super-friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and knew where we were going on the island. The house is located on the hill above Secret Harbor, and the views were breathtaking at all hours of the day. The place itself was spacious, clean, and centrally located within the East End. Would highly recommend this unit to anyone contemplating a visit to this beautiful island."Guest: Greg Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: June 29, 2015View listing

Feedback: Death
Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Our segment with Anneli Rufus today provoked an avalanche of emails about the inappropriate emotions we sometimes experience around someone's death. Here's a sampling:
Subject: DeathWhen my brother died suddenly, my first thought was, "At least that's one funeral where he won't show up drunk." At my sister's funeral, he stood up and argued with the minister. Later he similarly disrupted other family funerals and weddings. All this while insisting on a myth of family togetherness. I was glad in a way to have that particular struggle over with.
Subject: the farewell chronicles: comment
Just last week I attended the funeral of my 86 year old grandfather,
who died of cancer and in a sever stage of alzhiemers. this topic is very real for me right now. One thing that I found most difficult about the funeral was how to responds to the sympathy of others when I felt more relieved than anything else about the entire situation. i think it is ironic that as soon as the person passes away, that the death becomes more about the feelings of the people left behind than the person that died.

Call him Aaron History. Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill became the second player in major league history to hit for the cycle twice in a season when he repeated in a 9-3 victory at Milwaukee on Friday. It was the second time Hill had done it in 11 days and the first double-cycle since Babe Herman had two for the Brooklyn Robins in 1931. "He's been locked in lately," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "It's a great, great feat." Hill hit a ground-rule double that bounced over the fence down the left-field line in the first inning, looped a single to left-center to help ignite a five-run third, hammered a hanging breaking ball from Randy Wolf for a two-run homer and an 8-1 lead in the fourth, and tripled to right center to drive in the D-backs' final run in the sixth. Hill hit his first cycle in four plate appearances in a 7-1 victory over Seattle on June 18. He struck out in his fifth at-bat Friday. "It feels great.

A finding of emancipation terminates the parental obligation to pay child support. For this reason, the issue is oft litigated.
The typical divorce settlement agreement provides that child support will terminate on the happening of an "emancipation event" which is defined by parties' settlement agreement, but generally includes the child's death, marriage or entry into the military.
Many agreements also provide that a child should be deemed emancipated if the child enters the workforce on a full time employment. However, the Appellate Division, First Department ruled last week that a child's full time employment alone does not constitute an emancipation event; the child must also be fully self supporting and economically independent.

Numerix to Open Brazilian Office to Address Valuation Complexity and Risk Management Challenges Impacting the Brazilian Derivative Markets
Numerix Pricing & Risk Analytics help Institutions find Opportunity and Increased Cost-effectiveness Amid Regulatory Changes
New York and Sao Paulo – May 12, 2014 – Numerix (www.numerix.com), the leading provider of cross-asset analytics for derivatives valuations and risk management, announced today expansion into the Latin American market, including a new sales office to open in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The purpose of the new office is twofold: to better serve Numerix's expanding client base in Brazil and to empower local financial services companies with innovative analytics solutions that support them in recognizing, and taking advantage of new opportunities amid ongoing regulatory change.
Market participants across Brazil are operating under new derivative regulations impacting how portfolios of fixed income, money market, and derivative instruments are fundamentally priced and risk managed. Compliance with minimum standards for fair value calculations, new approaches to measuring Market Risk and the calculation of Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) under Basel III present new and complex valuation challenges. However, the introduction and growth of Brazilian structured note issuance also presents an opportunity to enter and potentially benefit from a new market.
Consistent Pricing and Risk across Operations
Broad coverage of Brazilian financial instruments and local market expertise are the core strengths Numerix brings to the region. To help Brazilian capital market institutions achieve accurate, transparent valuations, Numerix offers a single cross-asset analytics platform for the pricing and risk management of a wide range of Brazilian derivative instruments. Consistent pricing and risk across operations enables greater visibility for decision makers in terms of derivative trading profitability, PnL impact and anticipating previously unforeseen risks.
"Today's market is not only about compliance, but being able to recognize imbedded opportunity in regulatory changes while minimizing operational and outsourcing costs," said Steven R. O'Hanlon, Chief Executive Officer & President of Numerix. "As the appetite for more diverse derivatives products grow, and firms seek to expand into the Brazilian COE [structured note] market, Numerix's cross-asset analytics platform provides the advanced pricing capabilities needed to produce market consistent valuations with better risk management and faster time to market."
To speak with Numerix about solving your analytics challenges within the Latin American market please contact Luis Gustavo Penteado, VP of Latin American Sales or visit Numerix at Risk & Return Brazil 2014 on May 13 in Sao Paulo.

Yet another Pokémon soundtrack is joining the existing lineup on iTunes. Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection is available today.
"December of 2014 will be 25 years since the birth of the SaGa series," says director Akitoshi Kawazu. "With that in mind, we're making various preparations."
With help from Nintendo, Level-5 localized the Inazuma Eleven games for Europe. So far, none of those games have been released in North America, but maybe Level-5 is thinking about bringing Inazuma Eleven here.
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have sold over 4 million copies in their first two days on the market, worldwide, Nintendo announced this morning.
GameStop and EB are collaborating with The Pokémon Company to give away a trio of shiny legendary Pokémon for Pokémon Black/White and Black 2/White 2 in Dialga, Palkia and Giratina.
h.a.n.d., the developer of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded appear to have made quite the name for themselves since their involvement in those two games.

Although Pokémon X and Pokémon Y are set to release in less than a month, The Pokémon Company is still supporting the previous set of games with Pokémon distributions.

Effective immediately, the residents of the Skaneateles Fire District need to dial 911 in case of an emergency! Do not dial the former "Fire line" (685-5222) since it has been forwarded to the Onondaga County Emergency 911 Center.
Since the Village of Skaneateles Board of Trustees has decided to close the Skaneateles
Communications Center, there will no longer be a local dispatcher stationed at the fire station to assist community members in their time of greatest need. Emergency responders will need to solely rely on the 911 center when it comes to the mitigation of emergency incidents within the Skaneateles Fire District.
The officers and members of the Skaneateles Fire Department would like to thank all of the present and former dispatchers of the Skaneateles Communications Center for their years of dedicated service to the Skaneateles Fire Department and the residents of the Skaneateles Fire District. You will be truly missed!
New siren cycles
To alleviate the concerns of a few residents, the Skaneateles Fire Department has installed a new siren control box to limit the "noise" produced when the members of the fire department are activated for an emergency call. When the members of the Skaneateles Fire Department are activated for an EMS call, the siren will cycle two times. For all other emergency alarms; including fire, rescue and water rescue calls, the siren will cycle six times.
August fire calls
For the month of August, the members of the Skaneateles Fire Department responded to a total of 27 calls bringing the yearly total to 212 calls.
