Abstract: The present invention is a process of treating aqueous systems to prevent precipitation of dissolved metal ion species, for example, Ca, Mg, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn. This has the effect of preventing scale and/or stain formation. The process involves introducing 0.5 to 15000 ppm (or mg/liter) of a synergistic mixture of HEDP and DETPMP into the aqueous system to be treated.

Abstract: The present invention is a process of treating aqueous systems to prevent precipitation of dissolved metal ion species, for example, Ca, Mg, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn. This has the effect of preventing scale and/or stain formation. The process involves introducing 0.5 to 100 ppm of a synergistic mixture of HEDP and DETPMP into the water system to be treated.

Abstract: The invention is an improvement in wide viscosity range multigrade lubricants of the type having a mineral oil base into which is added a viscosity index improver and a wear enhancer package and, more specifically, in the viscosity index improver which is used. The viscosity index improver mixture of contains (a) 85 to 99.5% by weight, preferably 91%-95% by weight, of low molecular weight ethylene-propylene copolymers; and (b) 0.5 to 15% by weight, preferably 5% to 9% by weight, of an esterified alkenyl-vinyl polymer pour point depressant to make 100% total amount of (a) and (b). Normally, this mixture will be contained in the base lubricant in an amount of about 1% to 95% by weight, preferably 1% to 25% by weight or 1 to 20% by weight and, most preferably, either 1-5% or 3-10% depending on the desired viscosity properties. To ensure the effect of the compounds in the final mixture, the pour point depressant component (b) should be present in the multigrade lubricant in an amount of at least about 0.

Abstract: A flame retardant composition, for use in flexible urethane foams, which contains about 5 to 95% of tris(monochloroalkyl, dichloroalkyl or mixtures thereof) phosphate and the remainder is a phenyl phosphate ester which is an alkylated triphenyl phosphate having an approximate average formula (R.sub.x ArO).sub.3 PO wherein x ranges from 1 to 2, each R is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and Ar is phenyl. Flexible urethane foam compositions containing 8 to 14 parts per 100 parts polyol of this composition have sufficient flame retardant properties to meet the Cal 117 test standard.

Abstract: The present invention is a flame retarded thermoplastic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin, optional adjuvants for the resin, and a flame retardant; the flame retardant is an amine salt of a phosphorus acid in an effective amount.
