Abstract: An end cap for a container is generally dish shaped and is for fitting within a tubular container to be fixed in position at one end thereof or for sliding movement within the container as the container is emptied. The end cap includes a peripheral portion 129 which is capable of limited movement relative to the main portion of the end cap so as to allow movement of the end cap in one direction within the container but to cause locking of the end cap against the wall of the container when the end cap is caused to move in the opposite direction.

Abstract: This invention relates to a substitute for mineral oil in toiletry and cosmetics. In particular it relates to blends of esters which match the viscosity and feel of mineral oil. Specifically, it relates to ester blends which include tridecyl trimellitate.Tridecyl trimellitate ("TDTM") is the ester of tridecyl alcohol and trimellitic acid, and has recently been offered for use to the cosmetics industry.It has surprisingly been found that by blending tridecyl trimellitate with other esters, the viscosity and feel of mineral oil can be matched, the resulting product being a substitute for mineral oil in toiletry and cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: An indicator capable of determining whether the concentration of a disinfectant/sterilant solution of glutaraldehyde exceeds a predetermined value comprising an indicator medium impregnated with a sulfite compound and an amino acid or an ammonium salt.

Abstract: A polymer composition comprising a blend of NBR elastomer with EPDM grafted with acrylonitrile or acrylonitrile copolymer, imparts oil and ozone resistance to the blend.

Abstract: Lubricating oils are stabilized against oxidative degradation by the use of a stabilizer comprising (A) an amine wherein the amine is a substituted benzylamine, or a substituted 1-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, (B) a metal deacturator and (C) a metal or metal salt. Optionally a metal deactivator can be incorporated into the system. The preferred substitute benzylamine is N(alpha-methyl benzyl)amine the preferred naphthalamine is phenyl-alpha-naphthalamine.

Abstract: A microbicide having the general formula ##STR1## wherein R is a halomethyl radical, or a methylene radical; W is cyclohexyl, phenyl or meta or para substituted phenyl wherein the substituents are C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, halogen or nitro; X and Y is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, halogen or nitro; provided that when R is halomethyl n is 1 and when R is methylene n is 0.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a copolymer for high refractive lens having a refractive index equal to or higher than 1.55, obtained by copolymerization of one or more of the first monomer component having the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 signifies hydrogen atom or methyl radical, R.sub.2 signifies hydrogen atom or methyl radical, and m and n signify integers 0 to 4 in total, with one or more of the radically polymerizable second monomer component, homo-polymer of which has a refractive index equal to or higher than 1.55 and, if necessary, with the radically polymerizable third monomer component, the homo-polymer of which has a refractive index lower than 1.55 and to the lens prepared from said copolymer.

Abstract: A method of oxidizing alpha-alkylated, benzyl-substituted 2-thiopyridine 1-oxides by admixing the compound to be oxidized, a solvent for said compound, acetonitrile, hydrogen peroxide and a base.

Abstract: High impact strength gum plastics are prepared by blending a styrene acrylonitrile resin with a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer which has grafted on to it an acrylonitrile resin; preferably styrene acrylonitrile.

Abstract: Certain 2-(3-pyridyl) thiazoles are useful for the control of insects, and are particularly effective against aphids. Many of these thiazoles are new compounds.

Abstract: Tetrasubstituted organotin compounds, which are useful for controlling insects and other pests and which also exhibit herbicidal activity, are disclosed. Many of these organotin compounds are new compounds.

Abstract: A composition comprising a gas-expandable polymeric material and an activated hydrazodicarboxylate blowing agent, wherein the activator is selected from nickelbis(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate), a mixture of 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxybenzophenone and nickelbis(2-oxy-4-n-octoxybenzophenone), nickel stearate, nickel trifluoroacetylacetonate, [2,2'-thiobis(4-t-thiobis(4-t-octylphenolato)]nickel, nickelbis [O-ethyl-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)phosphonate], nickelammoniumsulfate, ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic acid), and hexamethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic acid).

Abstract: Fire retarded compositions comprise elastomers derived from conjugated, hydrocarbon dienes in combination with a synergistic, three-component flame retardant system comprising (1) a chlorine- and/or bromine-containing fire-retardant additive, (2) alumina trihydrate and (3) an iron oxide.

Abstract: This invention relates to flame-retarded cross-linked elastomer compositions obtained from an elastomeric polyurethane prepolymer; an organic fire-retardant additive containing chlorine and/or bromine; a compound of antimony; and a hexaalkoxymethyl melamine. These new compositions are self-extinguishing as well as non-dripping.

Abstract: Sulfonyl carbazates containing at least one group of:--SO.sub.2 --NHNH--COO--wherein the oxygen and the sulfur atoms attach to various organic groups are useful as high temperature blowing agents for gas-expandable polymers. Additionally, novel polyfunctional and secondary-alkyl substituted sulfonyl carbazates have been discovered.
