Patent number: 5591275Abstract: A bath for treating metal surfaces for the formation thereon of composite films for the cold working of metal advantageously comprises an otherwise conventional conversion coating bath that also contains organic cationic polymer having at least 1 cationic nitrogen atom per molecule and having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,000,000, or a salt of such a polymer. Major improvements in the lubrication properties, particularly in the seizure resistance, can be achieved by applying out a conventional lubrication treatment on such a composite film. Specifically, practical operating limits in metal cold working, e.g., the working degree or ratio, working speed, tool life, and the like, can be increased in a single step. This is useful in terms of improving productivity, product stability, cost reduction, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1995Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Kazutomo Miyafuji, Shigeo Tanaka, Ryoji Morita

Patent number: 5274026Abstract: Curable polycycloolefin resin solutions having particular utility in the fabrication of printed circuit boards are disclosed. A solvent soluble polymer is typically solution polymerized from norbornene-type monomers in the presence of a metathesis catalyst package. This polymer may then be purified by precipitation and redissolution. A curing agent, such as a high activation temperature peroxide can then be added to the solution and then this curing agent containing solution can be used to impregnate a suitable substrate such as a fiberglass cloth. The impregnated substrate can then be dried, preferably at temperatures above the glass transition temperature of the polycycloolefin but below the activation temperature of the curing agent. Then one or more prepregs can be stacked and laminated to conductive foil at a temperature high enough to activate the curing agent.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1988Date of Patent: December 28, 1993Assignee: The B. F. Goodrich CompanyInventors: George M. Benedikt, David J. Smith
