SAUREGRUPPEN ENTHALTENDE THERMOSTABILE,HYDROPHILE KONDENSATIONS PRODUKTE VON ALDEHYDEN UND KETONEN

摘要

The present invention provides acid group-containing, thermostable, hydrophilic condensation products of aldehydes and ketones, wherein the ketones used are symmetrical or asymmetrical ketones with acyclic aliphatic, araliphatic and/or aromatic radicals, at least one radical being non-aromatic. The present invention also provides processes for the production of these condensation products, which can be used as thickening agents, retention agents, surface-active agents, dispersion agents and/or liquefying agents, especially in aqueous systems.
