Abstract: A vapor permeable and liquid impermeable microporous film suitable for diaper back sheets and other disposable applications is produced by abrading a filled, unoriented film by passing it through at least one set of at least two cooperating nip rollers, each having an abrasive grit surface.
Abstract: A vapor permeable and liquid impermeable microporous film suitable for diaper back sheets and other disposable applications is produced by first abrading a filled, unoriented film by passing it through at least one set of at least two cooperating nip rollers, each having an abrasive grit surface and then subjecting the unoriented abraded film to a corona treatment.
Abstract: Normal butane is isomerized to isobutane by means of a catalyst composition consisting essentially of 95 to 99 weight percent fluorosulfuric acid and 1 to 5 weight percent of a protic co-acid selected from the group consisting of hydrogen fluoride, sulfuric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and mixtures thereof. The isomerization is carried out under low temperatures and at short contact times.
Abstract: A vapor and liquid permeable porous film suitable for disposable sanitary apparel structures is produced by first abrading an unoriented film by passing it through at least one set of at least two cooperating nip rollers, each having an abrasive grit surface and then subjecting the unoriented abraded film to a corona treatment.
Abstract: A novel process for the production of substantially amorphous interpolymers of propylene, ethylene and optionally a third alpha-olefin comonomer having between 4 and 8 carbon atoms per molecule is disclosed. The polymers have properties which make them applicable for use, e.g., as hot melt adhesives and as blending components in roofing materials.

Abstract: A circulation loop is provided between a point next to the outlet of an amorphous polyalphaolefin polymerization zone and a flash zone, carrying a stream of molten devaporized polymer product.
Abstract: Propylene polymers produced by high-activity support based coordination catalysts are effectively nucleated with benzoic acid and adipic acid, yielding molding resins of high clarity.
Abstract: The catalyst residues present in an on-purpose produced amorphous polyalphaolefin are deactivated by contacting the molten polymer with sufficient water to provide at least a 3:1 water/Al mole ratio and then the polymer is stabilized with a hindered phenolic antioxidant.
Abstract: Incorporation of an ethoxylated amine in a sodium benzoate nucleated propylene polymer resin synergistically improves clarity as well as yellowness over what is achieved by use of sodium benzoate or ethoxylated amine alone.
Abstract: An injection blow molding grade resin or improved clarity and processability is obtained by incorporating N,N.sup.1 -ethylene bisstearamide and an ethoxylated amine into a sodium benzoate nucleated propylene polymer.
Abstract: Printable high strength, thin stretch wrap composite films exhibiting excellent self-adherence without heat sealing are comprised of at least two layers, wherein one outside layer is comprised of a tackified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and the other outside layer of a very low density polyethylene copolymer having a density below 0.915. Optionally, a third inside layer of liner low density polyethylene is present in the composite film.
Abstract: A propylene polymer molding composition which is resistant to discoloration and losses in physical properties upon sterilization by high energy radiation is comprised of a blend of a propylene polymer with small amounts of a polymeric hindered amine, an alkyl phosphite and a specific hindered phenolic antioxidant as necessary additives.
Abstract: Blends of propylene polymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and optionally a synthetic rubber, with small amounts of a polyterpene resin as a compatabilizer, possess excellent properties for the manufacture of heat-sealable and sterilizable films as well as for the manufacture of molded speciality sealed containers and bottles.

Abstract: Pentane derived from fractionation of sulfur-containing natural gasoline is desulfurized to low levels of sulfur, e.g., 1 ppm or below, in a process comprised of contacting the pentane in a first zone with molecular sieve adsorbent to remove dimethylsulfide and then in a second zone with activated carbon to remove carbon disulfide.
Abstract: Isopropenylstyrene, present in t-butylstyrene in small quantities as an impurity, is removed by extractive distillation using sulfolane as solvent.
Abstract: Natural gasoline of low octane value derived from natural gas is upgraded to higher octane value by means of catalyst consisting essentially of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid at temperatures between about 80.degree. C. and about 120.degree. C., and preferably between about 100.degree. C. and about 120.degree. C.
Abstract: Natural gasoline of low octane value derived from natural gas is upgraded to higher octane value by means of a liquid ternary catalyst comprising trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and hydrogen fluoride in conjunction with a Lewis acid of the formula MX.sub.n wherein M is selected from Group III-A, IV-B or V elements of the Periodic Table, x is a halogen and n is a number varying from 3 to 6. Effective upgrading is achieved when the Lewis acid:HF mole ratio of the catalyst ranges from 1:2 to 2:1 at temperatures less than about 120.degree. C. under liquid phase conditions.
