Abstract: Cold-set lacquers are prepared by emulsifying acrylate monomers with 1 to 10 percent by weight of a cold cross-linkable comonomer in water, polymerizing, and adding to the resultant polymer dispersion, a dispersion of 3 to 15 percent by weight, based on the solids content of the polymer dispersion, of a water-soluble polyamino-amide and, optionally, usual additives. The lacquers give coatings which have good gloss and hardness and are at the same time water-resistant.

Abstract: A process for oligomerizing olefins having 2 to 5 carbon atoms in the molecule employing a novel sulfur containing molybdenum supported catalyst composed of from about 5.0 to 11.0 weight percent molybdenum, 3.0 to 7.0 weight percent sulfur and the remainder support. The catalyst may have present additional members such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, cobalt, nickel, rhenium and tungsten.

Abstract: Novel powder coating compositions consisting of resinous polyhydroxyl compounds as film-forming agents, a cross-linking agent, an activator, and conventional additives are described. In contrast to the known powder coating compositions, the activator rather than cross-linking agent is blocked. The novel cross-linking agents employed are bisazlactones. Activators for use in cross-linking reactions are strong acids which are blocked, i.e they are employed in the form of their thermolabile esters or amine salts. The powder coating compositions of this invention are storable and they can be baked at predetermined temperatures to provide high gloss and elastic coatings.

Abstract: This invention relates to an aqueous drilling fluid containing a tall oil fraction as a lubricating additive, a method of drilling with said drilling fluid containing said tall oil lubricating additive and the tall oil lubricating additive per se.

Abstract: A process for oligomerizing unsaturated hydrocarbons having 2 to 5 carbon atoms in the molecule employing a novel molybdenum-containing carrier catalyst.

Abstract: Molding compositions or masses comprising sand and a two-component binder system are prepared. These two-component binders consist essentially of 1) polyisocyanate and 2) a low molecular weight polymethylol produced by the controlled condensation of narrow mole ratios of acetone and formaldehyde under alkaline reaction conditions followed by acidification and removal of sufficient water to produce a minimum solid content of at least 95%. These molding compositions cure so fast that they may be taken off the mold five minutes after having been cured with an amine curing agent, and reach a substantial bending strength within minutes of curing compared to prior art compositions which achieve comparable bending strength only after a period of as long as one hour.
