Abstract: An anaerobic liquid acrylate sealant composition contains short portions of one or more types of fibre, particularly aramid fibre pulp, as a filler. A particulate filler such as fumed silica and/or micronized polyethylene may also be present. The composition suitably is based on a high proportion of monofunctional acrylate ester monomer, and a polyacrylate plasticiser. The composition is used for sealing joints in pipework where it is desired to seal the joint almost immediately but to allow adjustment of the joint for at least 24 hours.

Abstract: Compounds useful as adhesion promoters for thermally cured thiolene adhesives include a) acrylic or norbornene acid phosphate esters such as ##STR1## b) maleic, acrylic, methacrylic, norbornene dicarboxylic, and fumaric acids and half acid esters and peresters of maleic fumaric and norbornene dicarboxylic acids; and c) norbornene, acrylic or methacrylic silanes having two or three hydrolyzable groups bound to the silicon atom thereof, such as 5-(triacetoxysilyl) norbornene.The adhesion promoters may be employed as surface primers for conventional thiolene compositions. Alternatively the thiolene compositions themselves may be modified by addition of 0.1 to 10% by weight of the adhesion promoter. Preferred thiolene compositions employ norbornene functional ene ingredients.

Abstract: A simplified fluid dispenser for dispensing precise quantities of fluid without requiring special seals, particularly sliding seals, or springs. It comprises a housing defining a fluid reservoir, having an inlet for delivery of pressurized fluid to the reservoir, and including a valve seat defining an outlet for dispensing fluid from the reservoir. A deformable closure member overlies an open end of the housing opposite the outlet and normally biases a valve engageable with the valve seat to the closed position. When the closure member is selectively deformed, the valve is able to move to the open position to dispense a quantity of the fluid from the reservoir. When released, the closure member returns to its normal condition, returning the valve to the closed position instantaneously shutting off the dispensing of fluid. This operation causes the fluid being dispensed to rapidly reverse direction resulting in an immediate termination of flow and elimination of drippage.
Abstract: Modular apparatus for dispensing precise quantities of a fluid product comprising a dispensing unit, an actuator unit and mutually engageable locking means on each. A housing of the dispensing unit defines a reservoir which contains the fluid product to be dispensed under pressure. Within the housing is a ball-type valve mechanism. A deformable diaphragm isolates the reservoir from the valve to prevent (1) the undesirable entry of the fluid product into the actuator unit on operation and (2) the release of fluid product on disconnection of the modular unit. The diaphragm may be of a number of shapes, depending upon the operation of the dispensing unit. The dispensing unit is readily removable from the actuator unit and can be readily replace with another dispensing unit. The modular apparatus may also include readily exchangeable nozzles of various sizes.

The diaphragm may be of a number of shapes, depending upon the length of the stroke desired for the ball mechanism. The dispensing unit is readily removable from the actuator unit and can be readily replaced with another dispensing unit. Different nozzle sizes can also be accommodated. The extent of the valve opening is adjustable in discrete increments.
Abstract: An adhesive composition comprising a component which is polymerizable or cross-linkable with a peroxy initator, e.g., a (meth)acrylic ester monomer, thiolene resin, or tough acrylic copolymer, and an initiator of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 is H or lower alkyl; and R.sub.2 is H or --OR.sub.3, where R.sub.3 is H or lower alkyl.An appertaining method of bonding substrates, and bonded articles formed thereby, are also disclosed. The adhesive composition of the invention is particularly advantageous in bonding of metal substrates, on which the maleic acid peroxy compounds of the invention produce surface bonding enhancement of the adhesive composition, relative to the use of conventional polymerization/crosslinking peroxy initiators such as t-butyl perbenzoate.

Abstract: Novel nitrogen-containing calixarene derivatives which are useful for sequestration of transition metals are represented by the formulae ##STR1## wherein m+n=4,6 or 8n=an integer 1-8m=an integer 0-7x=4, 6 or 8R.sup.1 is H, alkyl, aralkyl, alkoxy, aroyl, or alkoyl,R is aliphatic or aromatic, unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbyl containing nitrogen,R.sup.4 is unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbyl, carbonyl or aryl;R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 (which may be the same or different) are hydrogen, or unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbyl.A process for separating transition metals from mixtures containing such metals comprises treating such a mixture with a calixarene derivative of formula I or II as defined above and separating therefrom a complex of the calixarene derivative and the transition metal. The complex may then be broken down, the transition metal recovered and the calixarene derivative recycled for further use in the process.

Abstract: Chemical compositions such as adhesive, sealing or coating compositions containing one or more microencapsulated ingredients are activated by directly contacting an ultrasonic device (2) to the composition (8) and sonicating the composition to rupture the microcapsules. The method may be carried out in a sonication chamber (1) in which the ultrasonic device (2) is immersed in the composition (8) and from which the composition flows before it sets. Alternatively the ultrasonic energy may be applied to the composition in situ.
