Abstract: Composite panels may be prepared using a moisture resistance additive having a formulation that includes a triglyceride having a saponification value of at least 150 and an iodine value of at least 35. The additive may be used in the form of a water emulsion. The water emulsion may be prepared by dispersing the components of the additive formulation under conditions sufficient to at least partially saponify the triglyceride. The moisture resistance additive can impart resistance to moisture absorption and thickness swelling to composite panels prepared therewith.

Abstract: Curing agents for air-drying alkyd-based resins, coatings, such as paint, varnish or wood stain, inks and linoleum floor coverings, based on an iron/manganese complex containing tetradentat, pentadentate or hexadentate nitrogen donor ligands are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preventing skinning of a coating composition comprising adding an anti-skinning agents containing mixtures of organic compounds (combinations of additives), whereby the organic compounds are selected from the groups of organic hydroxylamines, and ?-dicarbonyl compounds and/or selected derivatives of formic acid to the coating composition.

Abstract: An improved self-cleaning polish is obtained by adding a wax to an oil either pre-heated, or then subsequently heated, with stirring. Subsequently, and optionally, water and/or an acetic acid source, preferably vinegar, is added, either before or after partly or completely cooling the heated wax/oil mixture. Special-purpose additives may be added, such as salts, abrasives, suspending aids, preservatives, emulsifiers, colorants, fragrances, etc. However, no solvent other than the oil is necessary, a decided improvement over existing technology.

Abstract: Coating compositions containing an oxidized oil and an effective amount of a diluent selected from one of: the group of methyl and ethyl esters of fatty acids, oils and combinations thereof; the group of glycerol and polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, oils, and combinations thereof; and light petroleum oil with a viscosity from about 1 cP to about 100 cP at 100° F., wherein the coating composition has a viscosity of from about 3 cP to about 5000 cP at 140° F., and wherein the coating composition is effective for reducing dust formation and cake formation in the coated free-flowing dry material. The coating compositions and associated methods of the present invention are particularly suited to reduce dust formation and cake formation in free-flowing dry materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to anti-skinning agents containing mixtures of organic compounds (combinations of additives), whereby the organic compounds are selected from the groups of organic hydroxylamines, and &bgr;-dicarbonyl compounds and/or selected derivatives of formic acid and also relates to compositions containing them, especially oxidatively drying paints or coating compositions.

Abstract: Waxes prepared from hydrogenated plant oils, such as palm and soybean, are used to render cellulosic materials resistant to water. Unlike cellulosic materials rendered water resistant with waxes obtained using petroleum-derived or synthetic waxes, the water resistant cellulosic materials prepared using this composition are recyclable using conventional paper recycling methods; the composition is dispersible in warm water solutions. Such water resistant materials are characterized by enhanced moisture barrier properties. The compositions have a low iodine value (between 2-5), and melting points between approximately 120-165 degrees F. (Mettler Drop Point). The wax comprises a triglyceride whose fatty acids are predominantly stearic acid (C18).. The composition is used as an additive in the manufacture of wax coated boxes and adhesive compounds used in boxboard packaging and manufacturing operations.

Abstract: A cream wax is produced by forming a mixture of beeswax, paraffin wax and turpentine and heating the mixture to a temperature of approximately 120.degree. F. Linseed oil is heated to the same temperature and then mixed with the above ingredients while maintaining the mixture at that temperature. Naphtha is heated to approximately 110.degree. F. and added to the previous mixture, the temperature of which has been reduced to approximately 110.degree. F. Water and soap are mixed together and heated to approximately 130.degree. F., the heat is removed from the previous mixture and the water and soap mixture added thereto. The aforesaid mixing steps are all accompanied by agitation of the already formed mixture to which the new ingredients are added. The percentage composition by weight of the ingredients to the total composition is as follows: beeswax 8%; paraffin wax and soap 2.4%, turpentine 16%, linseed oil 8%, water 20%, and naphtha 43.2%.
