Abstract: A mineral stabilized resin emulsion comprising a low to zero acid number hydrocarbon resin modified with an organic acid to the extent necessary for emulsification, a mineral stabilizer and a complexing agent such as an inorganic acid, a polyvalent metal ion or ammonium ion compound. A method for producing the mineral stabilized resin emulsion comprises subdividing the acid modified hydrocarbon resin by a combination of melting, mechanical and chemical dispersion in an aqueous medium and stabilizing the resultant dispersion by the addition of the complexing agent compatible with the resin and a hyrophillic mineral strabilizer such as bentonite clay.

The coupling action of the complexing agent is generally effected by a polyvalent metal ion such as chromium, iron, magnesium or aluminum, however, other ions such as ammonium ions are suitable for this purpose.

Abstract: Processing additives are incorporated in polyvinyl chloride resins to form molding compositions by preparing an aqueous emulsion wherein the additives such as lubricants and stabilizers are in the disperse phase and then mixing an aliquot portion of the emulsion with a polyvinyl chloride resin powder in a high shear mixer to incorporate the additives in the resin in the proper proportions. By using an aqueous emulsion of the additives, the need for separately weighing each additive to be added to each batch of polyvinyl chloride is avoided and uniform dispersion of the additives in the resin achieved. The heat generated during the mixing process evaporates most of the water of the emulsion and the relatively small amount of retained water improves the anti-static properties of the molding composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of preparing dispersions of low density polyethylene waxes which can be a chemically modified polyethylene wax or low molecular weight unmodified polyethylene wax and their use in metallic paints. The use of these dispersions prevents hard settling of the metal flake in the liquid paint which was measured to be better than the use of a dispersion made from an ethylene vinyl acetate wax dispersion (AC 405 wax). Also the use of such an Epolene wax dispersion allowed the paint to be sprayed rapidly while maintaining better appearance and smoothness than without any wax or an ethylene vinyl acetate wax dispersion.
