  • Publication number: 20030127625
    Abstract: An anti-clouding agent composition comprising (a) at least one kind of multivalent alcohol esters of higher fatty acid having 10 to 20 carbons, and (b) at least one kind of derivatives of montanic acid wax selected from the group of montanic acid wax-alkylene oxide adduct, multivalent alcohol ester of montanic acid wax-alkylene oxide adduct represented by sorbitan ester of montanic acid wax-ethylene oxide adduct, and multivalent alcohol ester of montanic acid wax is kneaded and incorporated into a synthetic resin film to form a film. Thereby a synthetic resin film for agriculture which is excellent in an anti-clouding property at lower temperature, an initial anti-clouding property and an anti-clouding lasting property, besides excellent in transparency can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6384120
    Abstract: A synthetic resin film for agriculture suited as a covering material for greenhouses or the like, which shows good anti-clouding and anti-fogging properties immediately after being spread and for longer period than 2 years. The synthetic resin film for agriculture is obtained by using (a) an ester of sorbitan with a higher fatty acid mainly containing 24 to 34 carbon atoms (montanic acid wax), an ester of glycerin with montanic acid wax and/or alkylene oxide adducts thereto and/or an ester of polyoxyalkylene with montanic acid wax as an anti-clouding agent, and (b) a fluorine-containing surfactant as an anti-fogging agent, kneading them with a film-forming resin such as vinyl chloride resin, polyethylene, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, and forming it into a film.

  • Patent number: 6162572
    Abstract: This invention relates to a toner for electrophotography which develops an electrostatically charged image, the toner at least containing a coloring agent, a binder resin, a charge control agent, and a functioning agent, wherein low molecular weight polyolefin wax obtained by a metallocene type polymerization catalyst is contained as the function imparting agent. The toner of the invention is excellent in fixability, and has offset preventing properties, heat response characteristic, anti-spent toner properties, and storage stability, which can thus obtain a sharp, high quality image.
