Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multilayer film. The multilayer film includes at least two layers including a sealant layer and a second layer in contact with the sealant layer. The sealant layer contains (A) a first ethylene-based polymer having a density from 0.895 g/cc to 0.925 g/cc and a melt index from 0.5 g/10 min to 30 g/10 min; (B) a branched fatty acid amide; and (C) a linear saturated fatty acid amide, wherein the branched fatty acid amide and the linear saturated fatty acid amide have a weight ratio of from 1:5 to 3:1. The second layer contains a second ethylene-based polymer.

Abstract: A method for microencapsulating a water-soluble or water-dispersible or water-sensitive material comprising dispersing the water-soluble or water-dispersible or water-sensitive material in an organic continuous phase and adding a polyfunctional isocyanate, a diol or polyol in the presence of an optional polymerization catalyst to the organic continuous phase is described.

Abstract: A microencapsulated phase change material comprising a microcapsule wall former encapsulating a phase change material as an internal phase, said phase change material being inherently resistant or a flame retardant being admixed with said phase change material.

Abstract: A method of forming a coating on a web. A coating mixture includes a continuous phase of a first material and a second material contained in microcapsules. The first material and the second material interact to form the coating. The coating mixture is applied to a face of the web. The web is passed between a back-up member and a doctor blade so that the doctor blade levels the coating mixture on the web and crushes the microcapsules to cause mixing of the materials on the web to form the coating on the web.

Abstract: A microencapsulated epoxy adhesive system is disclosed comprising in admixture epoxy resin capsules and encapsulated Ancamine TL (Pacific Anchor Chemical Co.) as the curing agent. When applied, for example to a zinc plated bolt and the bolt is tightened, the capsules break and the resin cures and provides good breakaway torques.

Abstract: A highly impermeable encapsulating coating is disclosed prepared from a hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer prepared by alcoholysis of, for example, ethylene-vinyl acetate using 4 to 9 times the amount of alcohol stoichiometrically required for a predetermined degree of hydrolysis.

Abstract: A tobacco-substitute smoking material is provided which, in the preferred embodiment includes a polysaccharide, such as cellulose or a derivative thereof, as a combustible organic ingredient. A tobacco alkaloidal material, such as nicotine or a derivative thereof, is incorporated into the smoking material in the form of a plurality of combustible microcapsules containing the tobacco alkaloidal material.

Abstract: Electric furnace roof comprising key-arch-wedge refractory shapes contained in adjacent concentric rings within a roof band, expansion allowance means disposed between brick in both the radial and circumferential direction and spacer means disposed between brick in at least the radial direction.
