Abstract: An adhesive composition consisting of a mixture of 100 parts of saturated polyester and 5 to 150 parts of unsaturated polyester containing 5 to 15 parts of an organic polyisocyanate, which is suitable for adhering wood to vinyl film.

Abstract: Shock absorbing unit which comprises a shaped resilient polyurethane composition characterized by being able to withstand compressive cycling and particularly being characterized by retaining a high degree of rebound after a multitude of compressive cycling cycles. The unit is suitable for use in a railroad draft gear. Such polyurethane composition for said shock absorbing unit is prepared by reacting specifically selected polyols with a corresponding balance of 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanates in combination with mixtures of certain polymeric polyols with a manipulation of their molecular weights.

Abstract: This invention relates to a distillation column for removing vinyl chloride monomer or other volatile material from an emulsion, suspension or dispersion containing such material. The apparatus comprises a column in which a series of inverted cones are mounted. The dispersion or emulsion is pulled downwardly over the cones and steam is fed into the column through sparges and flows upwardly against the descending stream of material. The low boiling materials are distilled out and recovered for reuse. The strips emulsion or dispersion are collected at the bottom of the column.

Abstract: A sound barrier material for a road or a trainway comprised of a barium sulfate loaded chlorinated polyethylene laminated to each side of a foraminous metal member with a coating of about 0.05 to 8.13 centimeters in gauge.

Abstract: Polyurethane compositions containing milled glass fibers alone tend to have anisotropic properties. This effect is cured by adding an effective amount of mica, preferably about 22 to 25 percent for each 5 to 8 percent of milled glass fiber.

Abstract: A flexible endless belt track for a track-driven vehicle, said belt track having an outer ground-contacting surface to provide traction and an opposite inner surface which is adapted for moving contact with rigid elements of the vehicle drive means and the belt track supporting means, said inner surface including at least one surface portion of elastomeric material comprised of at least one vulcanized rubbery composition, said rubbery composition comprised of (A) from about 10 to about 35 parts of at least one polybutadiene polymer having a total 1,4 content of from about 80% to 100%, a cis 1,4 content of at least 10% and a combined cis 1,4 plus 1,2 content of at least 30% and (B) from about 65 to about 95 parts of two different rubbery polymer, said parts being by weight per 100 parts of (A) plus (B) and 10 to 35 parts of molybdenum disulfide and 3 to 7 parts of a mercaptosilicone or a mercaptosilane, said surface portion being adapted to come into direct moving contact with said rigid elements.
