Abstract: Blown corn stillage oils and methods for making blown corn stillage oils are disclosed. In one aspect the corn stillage oils are stripped to reduce the acid value of the resulting blown, stripped corn stillage oil. The method includes heating a corn stillage oil to a temperature of at least 90° C., and passing air through the heated oil to produce a blown corn stillage oil having a viscosity of at least 50 cSt at 40° C. In one aspect, the blown corn stillage oil is stripped to reduce the acid value of the blown, stripped corn stillage oil to 5 mg KOH/gram or less.

Abstract: Corn stillage oil derivatives having values for Gardner color of 10 or less and methods for making the corn stillage oil derivatives are disclosed. In one aspect, the corn stillage oil derivative comprises a heat bleached corn stillage oil. Preferably, the heat bleached corn stillage oil has a value for Gardner color of from 4 to 8. In another aspect, the corn stillage oil derivative comprises a blown corn stillage oil. Preferably, the blown corn stillage oil has a value for Gardner color of from 5 to 8.

Abstract: An environmentally friendly, bio-based binder system that is useful for the formation of fiberglass insulation, the system includes: A) an aqueous curable binder composition, which includes a carbohydrate and a crosslinking agent; and B) a dedust composition, which includes a blown, stripped plant-based oil and optionally at least one emulsifying agent. The bio-based binder system is typically heated to form a cured binder system.

Abstract: A water soluble, non-emulsified cleaning composition for removing contaminants, especially paint and overspray, from a surface comprises from about 1 to about 90 weight percent of an aliphatic glycol diether and from about 1 to about 90 weight percent of an aliphatic glycol monoether. Water can be added to form a working solution from about 0.001 to about 90 weight percent of the entire composition. The resulting aqueous cleaning composition exhibits a pH between about 6.0 and 8.0 and a vapor pressure of less than about 0.8 millimeters of mercury at 20° C.

Abstract: A process for coating steel with a non-dripping pickle oil is disclosed. The coating process uses a heated hydrocarbon oil containing a long-chain linear alcohol as the coating medium. The alcohol converts the hydrocarbon oil into a meso-solid at ambient temperatures. The coating provides corrosion protection for the steel during storage and shipping. The process is also applicable for converting slushing oils and oils for drawing and stamping of metal into meso-solid coatings.

Abstract: In an acidic aqueous coating composition containing dispersed particles of an organic coating-forming material and of the type which forms on a metallic surface immersed therein an organic coating which increases in thickness the longer the surface is immersed in the composition, the improvement comprising including in said composition an acid inhibitor thereby improving the quality of said coating, including reducing or preventing the tendency of said composition to form coatings which contain pinholes or blisters.
