Abstract: Disclosed is a thermosetting polyurethane coating composition of one-pack type which comprises (1) a compound having at least one NCO group blocked with an alcohol, lactam or oxime blocking agent and at least one oxadiazine-2,4,6-trione ring and (2) a polyol having a molecular weight of 400 to 50,000. The composition has good storage stability and provides coating films having no problems such as yellowing and pin-holes and excellent in mechanical properties, chemical resistance and weather resistance.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for polyurethane resins which is ordinarily of two-package type and curable at ambient temperature and which comprises an isocyanate component having oxadiazinetrione ring as a curing agent and a polyol component, having in the molecule, at least one of a tertiary amino group, a quaternary ammonium group and a salt-formed carboxyl group as a main component. The composition has excellent curability and provides cured products excellent in adhesiveness and physical properties.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polyurethane composition of multi-pack type, curable at ambient temperature, which comprises an isocyanate component having oxadiazinetrione ring, an active hydrogen component and a Lewis base whose basic site has no hydrogen active to NCO group and a process for producing polyurethane from the composition.The composition has excellent curability at ambient temperature and is useful for coatings, adhesives and elastomers as high solid content type or solventless type. The cured product polyurethane has good mechanical properties.

Abstract: A method of protecting cementware from frost-damage, which comprises coating the cementware with a moisture-cure type urethane resin coating impregnated with a web-like or three-dimensionally structured organopolysiloxane compound represented by the rational formula:R.sub.2 Si.sub.2 O.sub.3wherein R is alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, of about 0.5 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of resin portion in the urethane resin coating, and a composition therefor.The cementware applied with the composition has an excellent water repellency and an improved protective effect from frost-damage.

Abstract: A method for curing an isocyanate group-containing compound, which comprises treating with a tertiary amine in a vapor-phase state an isocyanate compound having in one molecule not less than two isocyanate groups linked to an aromatic nucleus through a methylene group or an isocyanate-terminated urethane resin obtained by the reaction thereof with an active-hydrogen containing compound.The isocyanate compounds or isocyanate-terminated urethane resins are allowed to cure and dry for a shortened period of time ranging from about 1 to 10 minutes.The method of this invention can be advantageously employed in field, such as continuous painting and printing.

Abstract: In the operation of a top-and-bottom blown converter, top-blowing oxygen gas is blown such that the center of a hot spot created by the oxygen gas jet from each of the nozzles of a top-blowing multi-nozzle lance is positioned outside a bubbling region of the molten metal surface which rising bubbles of gas from bottom-blowing tuyeres reach.

Abstract: A method of protecting cementware from frost-damage, which comprises coating the cementware with a moisturecure type urethane resin coating impregnated with a weblike or three-dimensionally structured organopolysiloxane compound represented by the rational formula:R.sub.2 Si.sub.2 O.sub.3wherein R is alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, of about 0.5 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of resin portion in the urethane resin coating, and a composition therefor.The cementware applied with the composition has an excellent water repellency and an improved protective effect from frost-damage.

Abstract: An intensifying screen having high physical durability and chemical resistance in which a curable resin is used as a resinous binder of a radioluminescent phosphor can easily be manufactured by employing an ultraviolet radiation-curable resin composition as the resinous binder. A dispersion comprising the ultraviolet radiation-curable resin composition and the radioluminescent phosphor dispersed in the composition is applied to the surface of a support to form a coating on the support, and the coating is cured by exposure to ultraviolet radiation to form a fluorescent layer on the support.

Abstract: Glass bottles, suitable as containers for drinks, such as beer and fruit juice, are coated with a single layer of a thermally cured material formed of a powdery composition comprising a mixture of (i) a blocked organic polyisocyanate and (ii) a hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer and/or a carboxyl-modified version of said hydrolyzed copolymer. The coated bottles are highly effective in the prevention of scattering of glass fragments in the event of breakage and excellent in clarity, alkali resistance, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance and weathering quality.

Abstract: A polyurethane prepolymer composition comprising (1) not less than 0.65 by weight of the idealized adduct from trimethylolpropane with 3 moles of 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylisocyanate and (2) not more than 0.05 by weight of 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylisocyanate relative to the whole composition is very suitable for an isocyanate component of a two-package urethane coating and gives a coating film having excellent gloss, weathering resistance, adhesivity and impact resistance.

Abstract: An apparatus for piling rod-shaped articles in a container, in which a hopper member having at least one levelling means such as a swing pin is employed in combination with a push means. The rod-shaped articles temporarily collected in the hopper member are pushed out into the container by the push means at least every one layer thereof thereby to make an orderly pile of the rod-shaped articles in the container.
