Abstract
Abstract Surface active agents are obtained by reacting, in water as solvent and under normal pressure, cresol, formaldehyde, sodium sulfite, and 2-hydroxynaphthalene. The surface active agents exhibit excellent high dispersing power upon finely grinding with disperse dyes and in use at high temperatures whereby they are effective in giving level dyeing to polyester fibers in high temperature dyeing processes and give little or no cellulose staining in dyeing a polyester/cellulose blended yarn or fabric by the thermosol process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
A process for the preparation of a surface active agent which comprises first adding cresol, sodium sulfite and 2-hydroxynaphthalene to water as solvent, then adding formaldehyde to the resultant solution and reacting the mixture under normal pressure to obtain said surface active agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
43 words
A process for the preparation of a surface active agent which comprises first adding cresol, sodium sulfite and 2-hydroxynaphthalene to water as solvent, then adding formaldehyde to the resultant solution and reacting the mixture under normal pressure to obtain said surface active agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
