Abstract: A woody synthetic resin molded article equivalent to natural wood in secondary processing properties such as nailing, sawing and screw clamping, excellent in strength/rigidity, and having no surface roughness to show good appearance can be stably formed by a woody synthetic resin composition containing 5 to 95 parts by weight of (A) a thermoplastic resin, 5 to 95 parts by weight of (C) a vegetable cellulose and, per 100 parts by weight of (A)+(C), 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of (B) an ultrahigh molecular weight polymer having a viscosity average molecular weight of 1,200,000 or more, wherein the thermoplastic resin (A) contains (J) a polyolefin resin composition.

Abstract: A plastisol formulation which can be used for coatings of metal sheets, the coatings having high abrasion resistance, contains a) a plasticizer or mixture of plasticizers; and b) a mixture of polymer particles containing at least two components A and B; c) at least one member selected from the group consisting of fillers, coupling agents, stabilizers, desiccants, rheological additives, hollow bodies and mixtures thereof; wherein the polymer particles containing at least two components A and B have one of the following structures ba) a 2-stage structure, a 3-stage structure or multi-stage structure, or bb) a gradient polymer structure.

Abstract: Less branched C13 alcohols are used to provide plasticizer esters particularly suitable for high temperature applications such as wire and cable insulation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shaped article for high purity applications containing at least one peroxide curable compound containing a substantially gel-free butyl polymer. In another of its aspects, the present invention relates to a sealing material and a medical device containing at least one peroxide-curable compound containing a substantially gel-free butyl polymer. In still another of its aspects, the present invention relates to a fuel cell containing at least one peroxide curable compound containing a substantially gel-free butyl polymer. In still another of its aspects, the present invention relates to halogen-free and sulfur-free shaped articles.

Abstract: An aqueous polymer dispersion containing acetoacetoxy functional polymer particles and an alkyl ethoxylated surfactants is provided. A method for preparing a coated substrate employing the aqueous polymer dispersion is also provided. The aqueous polymer dispersion is useful for preparing coatings having improved adhesion to substrates.

Abstract: Less branched C10 alcohols are used to provide plasticizer esters particularly suitable for high temperature applications such as wire and cable insulation.

Abstract: Less branched C9 alcohols are used to provide plasticizer esters particularly suitable for high temperature applications such as wire and cable insulation.
