Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for the immediate termination of a free-radical polymerization, the use thereof for the stabilization of free-radically polymerizable monomers against free-radical polymerization and a method for the immediate termination of free-radical polymerizations.

Abstract: Stabilized compositions having an organic material to be stabilized and a resin masterbatch system provided as closed end pellets are provided herein, along with processes for producing stabilized articles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new lightly colored prills of hydroquinone. More particularly, the invention provides a new method for preparing said lightly colored prills of hydroquinone. The invention also relates to said prills of hydroquinone obtained by said new method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel solid form of diphenol compound. A process for the preparation of diphenol prills having a spherical shape is disclosed. Said process comprising providing a molten composition comprising from 50 to 100 wt. % of a diphenol compound or a mixture of at least two diphenol compounds, and less than 0.1 wt. % of water; forcing said molten composition through at least one droplet generator means to form droplets; and cooling said droplets to form solid diphenol prills. The diphenol prills obtainable by said process are also one subject-matter of the invention.

Abstract: Resin masterbatch compositions are provided as closed end pellets having a core including at least one additive and an outer layer comprising a polymer encapsulating the core, in which the thickness of the outer layer if from 0.001 mm to 1 cm. A stabilized composition is prepared from an organic material to be stabilized and the resin masterbatch composition. A process for producing the resin masterbatch composition includes co-extruding in tubular form a core material encapsulated by an outer layer, wherein the core material comprises at least one additive, and the outer layer comprises a polymer, to form a filled tube; passing the filled tube into a sealing device that cuts the filled tube into multiple discrete segments seals and simultaneously seals each end of each discrete segment, thereby forming closed end pellets; and cooling the closed end pellets.

Abstract: Sulfosuccinate surfactant compounds blended in binary and ternary combinations to yield synergistic sulfosuccinate surfactant systems and use of the same in enhanced oil recovery and hydraulic fracturing applications.

Abstract: This invention relates to foam-forming surfactant compositions having at least two surfactants whereof at least one is a sulfosuccinamate, and at least one is a sulfosuccinate, and optionally including, a solvent. Methods of recovering oil or gas by generating a foam, feeding the foam into a subterranean oil- or gas-bearing geological formation, and collecting mineral oil or natural gas driven by the foam in a production well, wherein the foam is generated by intimate mixing of one or more foam-forming surfactant compositions described herein with a gas in a foam generator, or by introduction of at least one of water and gases, together or intermittently or in alternating sequence, slugs of a gas which may be in a supercritical or non-supercritical state, and of water, wherein the foam-forming surfactant composition(s) can be admixed to the water or to the gas if the gas is in a supercritical state or be introduced separately as solution into the geological formation, are also provided.

Abstract: Phenothiazine and its derivatives products are provided with a minimal level of fines or dust as a result of forming such products in prill form. The prills are generally spherical. Also provided is a method for reducing the level of powder in phenothiazine product which includes forming the phenothiazine product in prill form such that the prills have a generally spherical shape. The prill product achieves improved handling, flowability and dissolution times, while minimizing the generation of phenothiazine fines and dust, and the problems associated with worker exposure, irritation and sensitization to such fines and dust.
