Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of alkane sulfonic acid for descaling, and more generally for cleaning vats, casks, and other containers used for the storage, shipping, and handling of meat and early produce, particularly poultry, fruit, and vegetables. The present invention also relates to a composition in gel form including at least one alkane sulfonic acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to latex dispersions that are based on (co)polymers with one or more n-alkyl(meth)acrylate monomers with n a varying from 6 to 40, and optionally one or more monomers that are not very water-soluble of the (meth)acrylic and/or vinyl type, optionally one or more polar monomers that are selected from among the (meth)acrylamides and their derivatives and optionally one or more monomers that are selected from among the ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic and/or dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides. These dispersions are obtained by radical-type emulsion polymerization in the presence of water. They can be used as is for the inhibition of the deposition of paraffins that are contained in the crude petroleum hydrocarbons or else diluted in one or more solvents.

Abstract: The invention relates to novolac alkylphenol resins having a low level of free alkylphenol, a method for the production thereof, and the use thereof as tackifying resins and reinforcing resins for rubbers. The resins may be used advantageously in the production of tires.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising a compound having formula (I): Rf—B—Ro-Z and a compound having formula (II) and/or the reaction product thereof. The invention is suitable for treating surfaces, in particular, transparent substrates.

Abstract: The invention discloses a process for the preparation of fluorinated polymers by miniemulsion polymerization of a mixture of fluorinated and nonfluorinated monomers in the absence of organic solvent. This polymerization process makes it possible to obtain an aqueous emulsion of fluorinated polymers devoid of coagulum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-adhesive powder composition with improved resistance to creep, based on thermoplastic and/or heat-curable resins and acicular calcium carbonate. The composition is applied in powder form onto a metal substrate and then a creep-resistant coating is obtained by melting the powder.

Abstract: The invention relates to the films obtained by applying and drying a latex based on special acrylic monomers. These coatings are both flexible and have low surface tack and surface tension. The low tack and hydrophobic nature are provided by the special acrylic monomers. The field of application of the invention is that of the surface coatings industry.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions for the coating of substrates of matt surface appearance, based on thermoplastic and/or heat-curable resins such as PA, PP, polyesters and epoxy resins and containing one or a number of matting agents which are predominantly in the form of terephthalic acid dianilide or its substituted derivatives needles or flakes of average length of between 1 and 200 .mu.m and of aspect ratio of between 10 and 40.These compositions, generally in the form of powders, are employed for coating various substrates. The coatings are applied especially by dipping in a fluidized bed or by electrostatic spraying. The coated articles may be components of furnishing, of decoration or of construction.
