Abstract: Rust is removed from metal surfaces by applying a coating of an aqueous solution of vinylpyrrolidone/maleic acid copolymer. The rust becomes incorporated into the coating during drying and the coating detaches itself from the metal surface for easy removal.
Abstract: Disclosed are improved styrene-butadiene (SBR) core-alkyl acrylate/methacrylate shell-polymer compositions and an improved process for applying patterns to textiles by screen printing employing these polymer compositions as binders. The process for preparing the improved polymers is also set forth. The core comprises an SBR copolymer which contains an antioxidant and is at least partially encased by an integral shell of a copolymer of an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate which is formed by copolymerization with an ultraviolet light stabilizer. When used as binders for screen printing, these compositions produce textiles which exhibit a desirable combination of crock fastness, cyclic aging and hand properties.

Abstract: Segmented thermoplastic copolyester elastomers containing recurring polymeric long chain ester units derived from phthalic acids and long chain glycols and short chain ester units derived from phthalic acids and 1,4-butanediol or 1,4-butenediol. The elastomers also contain between about 0.1% and about 5% by weight of said copolyester of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamic acid triester with 1,3,5-tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine-2,4-6-(1H, 3H, 5H) trione.
