  • Patent number: 5362847
    Abstract: A graft copolymer is produced by grafting both at least one perfluoroacrylate and at least one N-(oxymethyl)acrylamide, e.g., IBMA, onto a poly(oxyalkylene) composition. This graft copolymer is water dispersible prior to crosslinking while after crosslinking, it becomes a highly durable hydrophobic and oil repellent coating for fibers, textiles, and the like.

  • Patent number: 5155244
    Abstract: A method of solubilizing a first compound in a second medium where the first compound has a limited solubility in the second medium. In particular, the method comprises reacting the first compound with the second medium. By this reaction, a product is formed whereby an active component of the first compound is covalently incorporated into the second medium.The first compound and second medium each contain at least one reactive group which will react with a reactive group of the other. In addition, the first compound comprises at least one antioxidant which will be covalently bonded to and thus effectively solubilized in the second medium by the reaction.The second medium comprises glyceride derivatives, silicones, fluorocarbons and alkoxylates containing reactive groups such as hydroxy, amino, carboxyl, ester, or amides.

  • Patent number: 5045571
    Abstract: Novel compositions of silicone/polyether block copolymers are provided which are useful as surfactants in several classes of polyurethane foam production. While conventional copolymers have a polysiloxane backbone with pendant polyethers, the surfactants of the present invention are the reverse with siloxane pendants on a polyether chain. These novel non-hydrolyzable polysiloxane polyoxyalkylene copolymers which are characterized by an "inverted" structure, i.e., polyoxyalkylene backbones with lateral and/or terminally pendant polysiloxanes, represent species that are of a narrow molecular weight and compositional distribution and are free of unreacted polyether or non-modified silicone oil diluent. These surfactants are useful in various urethan foam systems and can also display aqueous wetting properties.
