Abstract: Processes to prepare aqueous polymer dispersions are provided, as well as compositions thereof, which have high solids content (e.g., 50%) with low viscosity. The process uses a selective hydrophilic macro-RAFT agent of formula (I), and is substantially free of surfactants. This process can be used to make latex polymers with good stability, which can be used widely in coatings (e.g., architectural paints, stone paints, industrial coatings, wood coatings, etc.), adhesives, sealants and mastic compositions.

Abstract: Stabilized compositions having an organic material to be stabilized and a resin masterbatch system provided as closed end pellets are provided herein, along with processes for producing stabilized articles.

Abstract: Resin masterbatch compositions are provided as closed end pellets having a core including at least one additive and an outer layer comprising a polymer encapsulating the core, in which the thickness of the outer layer if from 0.001 mm to 1 cm. A stabilized composition is prepared from an organic material to be stabilized and the resin masterbatch composition. A process for producing the resin masterbatch composition includes co-extruding in tubular form a core material encapsulated by an outer layer, wherein the core material comprises at least one additive, and the outer layer comprises a polymer, to form a filled tube; passing the filled tube into a sealing device that cuts the filled tube into multiple discrete segments seals and simultaneously seals each end of each discrete segment, thereby forming closed end pellets; and cooling the closed end pellets.

Abstract: Sulfosuccinate surfactant compounds blended in binary and ternary combinations to yield synergistic sulfosuccinate surfactant systems and use of the same in enhanced oil recovery and hydraulic fracturing applications.
