Abstract
Abstract Novel amphoteric emulsifiers are disclosed for solventless and solvent containing mixing grade, oil-in-water anionic and cationic bituminous emulsions, which emulsifiers are the modified reaction products of polyamines with certain polycarboxylic acids and sulfonated carboxylic acids. Modifications are carried out by reacting the nitrogen-containing intermediates with formaldehyde and sodium sulfite or bisulfite, chloroalkane sulfonic acid salts, gamma -propane sultone, chloroalkane phosphonic acids, acrylic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid and chloroethanoic acid.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
Amphoteric emulsifiers for anionic and cationic bituminous emulsions consisting of reaction products of nitrogen-containing intermediates with compounds selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde and sodium sulfite or bisulfite, chloroalkane sulfonic acid salts, γ-propane sultone, chloromethane phosphonic acid, acrylic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid and chloroalkanoic acids, wherein the nitrogen-containing intermediates are selected from the group of reaction products of polyamines reacted with sulfonated carboxylic acids and polyamines reacted with polycarboxylic acids corresponding to the formulae ##STR13## wherein x and y are integers from 3 to 9, x and y together equal 12, at least one Z is a carboxylic acid group and any remaining Z is hydrogen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
