Process of improving the surface qualities of carbohydrate-free, high-polymer compounds, and products obtained thereby

Claim 1

IN A PROCESS OF IMPROVING THE SURFACE QUALITIES OF NON-CELLULOSIC HIGH POLYMER MATERIALS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SYNTHETIC PLASTICS AND NATURAL RUBBER, THE STEP COMPRISING APPLYING TO THE SURFACE OF SAID MATERIAL A WATER-INSOLUBLE ORGANIC SALT PRECIPITATE OBTAINED BY ADDING TOGETHER AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF AN ORGANIC CATIONIC SURFACE-ACTIVE ONIUM COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS, QUATERNARY PHOSPHONIUM COMPOUNDS AND TERTIARY SULFONIUM COMPOUNDS AND HAVING AT LEAST ONE ALIPHATIC PHYDROCARBON RADICAL CONTAINING 6 TO 22 CARBON ATOMS AND AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF AN ORGANIC ANIONIC SURFACE-ACTIVE COMPOUND HAVING AT LEAST ONE ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON RADICAL CONTAINING 6 TO 20 CARBON ATOMS AND AT LEAST ONE ACID RADICAL CAPABLE OF BEING NEUTRALIZED BY AN ORGANIC BASE TO FORM A SALT THEREWITH SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SULFURIC ACID RADICALS, SULFONIC ACID RADICALS, PHOSPHORIC ACID RADICALS AND CARBOXYLIC ACID RADICALS, SAID CATIONIC AND SAID ANIONIC COMPOUNDS BEING IN SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIMOLAR PROPORTIONS IN SAID PRECIPITATE.
