Abstract: This invention covers a water soluble one-component fiberglass mat binder composition which comprises a urea-formaldehyde resin and polyvinyl acetate polymers and/or vinyl acrylic-polyvinyl acetate copolymers in the manufacture of asphalt shingles. The shingles of the invention are formed by the asphalt coating of a fiberglass mat in which the glass fiber mat has been coated with the binder composition and cured to bond the glass fibers together in the mat structure.

Abstract: An aqueous rubberized coal tar emulsion composition especially suitable for coating and sealing bituminous substrates containing asphalt such as asphalt pavement and the like, the coal tar emulsion composition comprising a major portion of commercial coal tar emulsion and water admixed with a small amount of a carboxylated butadiene/styrene/acid copolymer latex having a particular particle size. The emulsion composition may additionally include a fine aggregate filler material such as sand. The coal tar emulsion composition according to the invention is of a thixotropic nature and has the ability to maintain the fine aggregate when added and mixed therein in a homogeneous-like suspension. The emulsion composition when spread on an asphalt surface exhibits a high degree of spreadability and provides a sealing coating that has a long life.

Abstract: This invention covers a shoe sole composition compounded from polyvinyl chloride and organic cellulosic flock, and the shoe sole product produced therefrom.

Abstract: The invention covers the use of novel co-catalysts as inhibitors that reduce the formation of undesirable chlorinated dioxins during the preparation of pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenol from phenol or lower chlorinated phenols.

Abstract: This invention relates to new and improved chlorinated phenol water soluble wood treating compositions and methods for preservation of wood or products made from wood. In the general practice of this invention, wooden objects are treated with water soluble wood treating and preserving solutions consisting of blends of from 0.1% to about 50% by weight of a chlorophenol selected from a group consisting of pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenol and mixtures thereof, from about 1% to about 97% by weight aliphatic alcohols having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof, from about 0.2% to about 35% of a fatty acid amine oxide or a mixture of fatty acid amine oxides and other amines, and from about 1% to about 97% by weight water.

Abstract: A froth coated paper substrate in which the froth coating may be densified by compression when applied as a frothed resinous emulsion to improve opacity and ink-holdout of the substrate, or applied as a frothed surface size when the coating is a frothed admixture of a resin emulsion and a starch solution, or a frothed starch solution.

Abstract: A new and improved foundry aggregate binder system and composition is comprised of a mixture of polyols.

Abstract: A process for forming a high viscosity coating composition from low viscosity polymeric colloidal dispersion by substantially effecting the thickening of the colloidal dispersion in a mixing head, and for producing from the mixing head a range of high viscosity coatings using the same low viscosity polymeric colloidal dispersion.
