Patent number: 4304700Abstract: The present invention provides a two component resin coating system which when mixed forms a curable coating composition. The first component comprises a polyamine terminated polyepoxide adduct which has been salted with a controlled amount of acid. The salted product is dissolved in a co-solvent having a specifically defined solubility parameter polar component and water. The second component comprises a low molecular weight water insoluble polyepoxide crosslinker which is optionally dissolved in the selected co-solvent. When the two-components are blended together, the polyepoxide resin crosslinker is dispersed in the microemulsified state throughout the salted adduct solution and the resulting composition exhibits improved pot life, freeze thaw stability, and film forming properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1980Date of Patent: December 8, 1981Assignee: Celanese CorporationInventors: David A.

Patent number: 4289080Abstract: A high-speed transplanter is described for mechanical transplanting of seedlings in grow blocks formed into easily handled modules. The transplanter includes cutting blades for separating the modules into files, delivery tubes for downwardly moving the files into spaced-apart positions above furrows, wheels for pulling off individual blocks and placing them at zero ground speed within the furrows, and an assembly for detecting dud blocks (having no seedling) and advancing a file by an extra block length to provide a seedling block for the wheels. This system depends on the probability that finding two non-germinated seeds in consecutively linear sequence is much lower than the percentage of non-germinated seeds within a pattern of randomly distributed seeds.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1979Date of Patent: September 15, 1981Assignee: Celanese CorporationInventor: Percy A.

Patent number: 4257575Abstract: A rotary ball valve comprises a housing formed of plastic material, the housing including a through passage. A plug formed of a plastic material is rotatably mounted in the housing and includes a ball-shaped gate having a passage which is alignable with the housing passage when the plug is open. A stem projects laterally of the housing passage to enable the plug to be manually rotated. A pair of seating rings formed of an anti-friction material encircle respective ends of the gate passage when the plug is open. The housing includes a pair of annular flanges disposed on opposite sides of the plug passage. Each flange contacts a back side of a respective one of the seating rings. Each flange is notched around its periphery to form a plurality of circumferentially spaced flange segments whose inner diameter is substantially the same as the diameter of the gate passage.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1978Date of Patent: March 24, 1981Assignee: Celanese CorporationInventor: Gary L.

Patent number: 4227996Abstract: A flotation process is provided for beneficiating phosphate ores in at least two floats after conditioning with 0.1-1.5 pound per ton of fuel oil and adding 0.025-0.1 pound per ton of a frother and 0.2-0.5 pound per ton of a polyamine cationic collector to remove silica in the froth (tails) and obtain 75-84% recoveries of phosphate in the concentrate (sink) which contains no more than about 6% insol. For some ores, the floats can be made on each fraction, after desliming thereof, which are obtained by screening over a 35 mesh screen. For other ores, desliming and a rougher flotation are initially needed. The silica froths (rougher tails) from this float are then cleaned and recleaned in separate floats, without additional conditioning or addition of collector to produce tails which are discarded and a combined sink which is screened over a 48 mesh screen to produce a +48 mesh fraction which is discarded and a -48 mesh fraction which is concentrate (product).Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1979Date of Patent: October 14, 1980Assignee: Celanese CorporationInventors: Nathan M. Levine, Walter Von Drathen
