1. 1-Naphthalenamine, N-[(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl]-, polymer with 4-octyl-N-(4-octylphenyl)benzenamine (average MW 1835 g/mol)

   WGK 1 (slightly hazardous to water)

2. Poly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)], α-[[[(dimethoxymethylsilyl)methyl]amino]carbonyl]-ω-butoxy- (average molecular weight 5000 g/mol), residual Methanol ≤ 0.5%

   WGK 1 (slightly hazardous to water)

3. Poly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)], α-[[[(dimethoxymethylsilyl)methyl]amino]carbonyl]-ω-[[[[(dimethoxymethylsilyl)methyl]amino]carbonyl]oxy]- (average MW 16800 g/mol), residual Methanol ≤ 0.5%

   WGK 1 (slightly hazardous to water)

4. Reaction mass of 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol, 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane and ethylenediamine

   WGK 3 (highly hazardous to water)

5. Albumins
