  • Reinforced casings for preparing dimensionally uniform processed food products with flat ends
    Patent number: 5273482
    Abstract: Tubular food casings for preparing dimensionally uniform processed meat products with flat ends for maximizing yields for prepackaged product. Casings reinforced with one or more narrow polymeric bands securely bonded to the terminal ends of casing units are able to receive flat end plates which cooperate with the bands to form reliable end closures without clips and minimal casing requirements.

  • Stable aqueous dispersions of mixed resins and process for use as coating compositions
    Patent number: 4289811
    Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of mixed resins are prepared by polymerizing in the presence of an aminoplast resin a mixture of polymerizable carboxylic acid monomers and other monomers, adding to the polymerization product an epoxy resin, adding ammonia or an amine to salt the acid groups and dispersing the resin mixture in water. The aqueous dispersions are useful as can coatings.
