Abstract: To provide a cleaner composition suitable for removing oxidized grease stains adhering to the surface of floor, wall and cooking instruments in the kitchen.
A cleaner composition is constructed to have the concentrated form and comprise a water-insoluble organic solvent, amines and a nonionic amine oxide-based surfactant.
Abstract: A non-silicone, form-in-place gasket produced using automated placement followed by curing of a pattern of an extrudable thixotropic material comprising a liquid polyolefin oligomer a reactive diluent a thixotropic filler and a curative. The form-in-place gasket, after curing, has a compression set of about 7% to about 20%, a level of outgassing components of about 10 &mgr;g/g to about 45 &mgr;g/g and a Shore A hardness from about 45 to about 65.
Abstract: A water dispersed primer composition comprising a solution of a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer in organic solvent; and a dispersing agent added to the solution to form a fluid primer to be dispersed in water to provide the water dispersed primer composition. The invention further includes a water based priming adhesive composition comprising an adhesive dispersion of a an adhesive polymer dispersed in water, and a primer mixed with the adhesive dispersion to form the priming adhesive. The primer comprises a solution of a halogenated hydrocarbon polymer in organic solvent and optionally a dispersing agent.
Abstract: The invention provides a recording sheet including an additive, referred to herein as a compatibilizer, to improve the quality of images formed by toner powder development of electrostatic charge patterns. Recording sheets, carrying images produced by toner powder transfer and fusion on a receptor surface, according to the present invention, exhibit improved light transmission and reduced light scattering. Specifically, a transparent sheet is provided having a toner-receptive coating containing about 4 wt. % to about 25 wt % of a compatibilizer on at least one surface, wherein the coating has a low density yellow Q factor value at least 2 less than an identical coating without the compatibilizer.

Abstract: A Cooke triplet projection lens for use in overhead projectors comprises two outer positive elements of an ophthalmic crown glass and one inner negative element of a light flint glass. The crown glass has a refractive index of roughly 1.523 and an Abbe value of 58.5. The flint has an index of less than 1.573 and an Abbe value of between 43 and 53. One of the positive elements is biconvex; the other is meniscus.

Abstract: Thin flakes can be made from a sol of metal oxides by a method analogous to blowing soap bubbles, preferably by directing a laminar flow of air through a narrow, annular orifice. The bubbles can be dried and broken into fragments which are fired to produce refractory flakes that can be incorporated into protective coatings. The resulting coatings can be pearlescent while also affording good resistance to abrasion and to corrosive materials.
