Abstract: A process for preventing deposits when venting steam containing entrained polymer from high pressure reactors used for preparing nylon from dicarboxylic acid and diamine. The hot steam generated during condensation polymerization of the reactants is vented through a pressure-control valve at a rate which maintains a desired pressure in the reactor. Deposit of polymer in the valve or vent pipe after release of pressure is prevented by injecting water into the low pressure side of the valve or into the subsequent vent pipe. At least sufficient water is used to saturate the vented steam and to wet the walls of the vent pipe.

Abstract: Methods for increasing the yield of rice crops comprising applying thereto an allophanimidate such as methyl 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-methoxycarbonylallophanimidate or methyl 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-methylthiocarbonylallophanimidate to the seeds, seedlings, or the soil in which the seeds or seedlings are planted.

Abstract: Epoxy resin powder coating compositions which have good shelf-life and which are capable of rapid cure are obtained by blending two types of epoxy resins with filler particles and a curing agent. One resin is of the epichlorohydrin-bisphenol-A type. The other resin is an epichlorohydrin-bisphenol-A epoxy modified with an epoxy-novolac. Rapidly curing films are obtained by using a hydroxy-containing, mixed aromatic-aliphatic polyether resin crosslinking agent. The cure is accelerated with an alkylimidazole. These compositions are useful in coating metal substrates, particularly pipe exteriors, when rapid cure, flexibility, and good adhesion are needed.

Abstract: The invention relates to impact wrenches for tightening threaded joints comprising an impact clutch accommodated in a housing and having a hammer which is axially movable for imparting each blow, and a device for automatically limiting the number of blows to a pre-set number of blows. The device for automatically limiting the number of blows comprises a blow number setter, a movable member directly co-operating with the hammer and axially movable upon each axial displacement of the hammer so as to enable the axial displacement of the hammer until a pre-set number of blows are delivered, and a locking device for locking the movable member against displacement in the position preventing further axial movement of the hammer after the ultimate blow of the pre-set number of blows is delivered. Thus the possibility of imparting blows in excess is eliminated without deenergization of the impact wrench drive, and the construction of the impact wrench is simplified.
