  • Patent number: 6528449
    Abstract: Catalyst compositions useful for olefin polymerizations comprising a Group 3-10 metal complex and a compound corresponding to the formula: AlArfQ1Q2, or a dimer, adduct, or mixture thereof and further mixtures with aluminum compounds of the formula AlArf3, where: Arf is a fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbyl moiety of from 6 to 30 carbon atoms; Q1 is Arf or a C1-20 hydrocarbyl group, optionally substituted with one or more cyclohydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsilylamino, hydrocarbylsilyl, silylhydrocarbyl, di(hydrocarbylsilyl)amino, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, di(hydrocarbyl)phosphino, or hydrocarbylsulfido groups having from 1 to 20 atoms other than hydrogen, or, further optionally, such substituents may be covalently linked with each other to form one or more fused rings or ring systems; and Q2 is an aryloxy, arylsulfide or di(hydrocarbyl)amido group, optionally substituted with one or more hydrocarbyl, cyclohydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsil

  • Patent number: 5574091
    Abstract: Artificial latexes that are film-forming at room temperature can be prepared from a copolymer of ethylene and a C.sub.3 -C.sub.20 alpha olefin. The copolymer preferably contains no polar substituents, which are generally necessary to make useful latexes from polyethylene.

  • Patent number: 4904093
    Abstract: A disposable or reusable and reclosable gussetted plastic bag capable of being compactly stored as a food container in freezers, yet capable of standing with an upright spout in a microwave oven for non-spill thawing and cooking of food contained in the bag. The bag is formed of two wing-shaped pouches on either side of the upright spout. The bag preferably has inner and outer skin layers of different heat sealing temperatures so that peripheral sealing is effected only with the inner skin layers, allowing the wing-shaped pouches to be formed out of a gussetted bottom without sealing of the outer skin layers of the gusset walls facing one another. Two pairs of relief seals are located adjacent each gusset joint at both edges of the bag. Each seal is positioned 45.degree. off the gusset joint and preferably has a rounded peak shape. The heat seals are formed by applying heat adjacent each gusset joint with a hot bar or other heat sealing device following formation of the bag.
