Abstract: The invention discloses a lubricating grease with thixotropy and a preparation method thereof. The lubricating grease comprises a polyurea/high base number calcium sulfonate composite thickener, colloidally dispersed calcium carbonate solid particles in the form of calcite, a calcium borate or calcium borate composite, and a calcium soap of fatty acid having 12 to 24 carbon atoms. The above components are uniformly dispersed in an oil phase medium. The content of high base number calcium sulfonate in the lubricating grease is less than 22 wt %, and the lubricating grease has a worked cone penetration of 295 or less.

Abstract: Compounds are identified that act as crystallization suppressants when added to clear brine fluids, significantly lowering the true crystallization temperatures of the brines, and allowing for higher salt content in clear brine fluids. The crystallization suppressants of the invention also allow for the preparation of higher density zinc free brines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to quaternized diethylenetriamine-functionalized polyacrylate bead polymers, to a process for preparing same and to their use in the removal of oxoanions, particularly chromium (VI) oxoanions from aqueous- and/or organics solutions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for controlling microorganisms comprising coating a surface with a removable, antimicrobial film-forming composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mixtures of blowing agent-containing polymers, wax and insecticides, to coated polymer particles, to methods for producing coated polymer particles, to the use of these particles and mixtures in the production of polymer foams, to the use thereof for protecting polymer foams against infestation by insects, principally termites, and also to materials of construction and building materials produced from the insecticide-containing polymer foams.

Abstract: A highly flame retardant plasticized polyvinyl chloride composition includes a mixture of a dialkyl or dialkenyl tetrahalophthalate and a brominated/chlorinated paraffin. The composition exhibits an absence of brittleness, and substantial flexibility at low temperatures. The composition can be used to form sheet materials, molding compositions, roofing materials, PVC formed jackets and insulation for wire and cable products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to formulations which comprise a plasticizer and articles made therefrom and/or coated therewith. More specifically the formulation comprises a plasticizer and a fungicidally effective amount of Fludioxonil and/or Difenoconazole. The formulations have particular application in the manufacture of plasticized articles and articles which have been coated with a fungicide containing plastisol.
