Abstract: Novel stable-in-use aminoplast resin binder solutions comprising aqueous solutions of predominantly a urea-formaldehyde resin having a formaldehyde to urea ratio of less than 2.0, from about 40 to 56% by weight dissolved ammonium polyphosphate reacted with 5 to 12.5 percent by weight formaldehyde and not more than 30% by weight water. Preferred aminoplast resin binder solutions also contain a methylolated melamine-formaldehyde resin. A novel process for the production of the stable aminoplast resin binder solutions containing high percentages of ammonium polyphosphates and suitable for production of fire-retardant particle board is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-migratory (as respects impregnated porous sheet members) phenol-formaldehyde resole resin in water emulsions. The emulsion is rendered anti-migratory (when impregnated into paper) through the addition thereto of an anti-migratory agent selected from the group consisting of polyelectrolytes, certain salts of inorganic acids, and combinations thereof. The composition is especially useful in the impregnation of filter paper.

Abstract: Electroconductive cationic resins prepared by the reaction of a 1,4-dihaloalkene-2 compound and a di(tertiary amine). The resins are quaternary ammonium compounds. They may be prepared in aqueous medium. They may be blended with polyvinyl alcohol and the blends may be used to provide solvent resistant electroconductive coatings to sheet materials used in electrographic printing.

Abstract: Acrylic pressure-sensitive resins comprising at least one ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms and between 0.1 and 1.5 weight percent of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid. The resins are prepared in aqueous emulsion and when coated on substrates and dried provide pressure-sensitive films with superior peel strength retention.

Abstract: This invention relates to a continuous process for the production of ABS type polyblends comprising the polymeriztion of a monomer composition comprising monoalkenyl aromatic and alkenyl nitrile monomers in a single reaction zone forming a matrix copolymer dissolved in said monomers as a liquid phase; removing said liquid phase from said reaction zone and dispersing a first and second grafted diene rubber in said liquid phase followed by separating said matrix copolymer and said grafted diene rubbers from said liquid phase forming an ABS polyblend having a bimodal rubber particle size distribution and a matrix copolymer having a uniform monomer composition and molecular weight.
