Abstract: Stable, concentrated aqueous persalt solutions are provided in which the stabilizing agent is a water-soluble carbazolesulfonate, diphenylamine sulfonate or N-phenylaminonaphthalene sulfonate. Preferred compositions contain sodium perborate, chelating agent, a solubilizing agent and an acid phosphate ester surfactant.

Abstract: Stable, concentrated aqueous persalt solutions are provided in which the stabilizing agent is an arylazo compound having an ortho-hydroxy substituent on the aryl group. Preferred compositions contain sodium perborate and a solubilizing agent as well as the azo stabilizer.

Abstract: Glass compositions for use in the preparation of glass microspheres and having reduced 2 Pas (20 poise) temperatures comprise 38 to 44% SiO.sub.2, 14 to 22% B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 9 to 16% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 22 to 26% CaO and optionally MgO, 0 to 8% Na.sub.2 O, 0 to 2% Li.sub.2 O, 0 to 2% K.sub.2 O and 0 to 1% Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, the sum of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and Na.sub.2 O being at least 19%, said percentage by weight.

Abstract: Aqueous boron-containing compositions containing about 40 to 85% of the reaction product of boric acid and alkylamine in a mole ratio of from 1.5:1 to 3:1, about 2 to 15% of an alkanol or alkylene glycol and the balance water. The compositions are useful as liquid fertilizer compositions, corrosion inhibitors and as pesticides.

Abstract: Long chain alkyl amines are useful as anti-hyperlipidemic agents for lowering serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in mammals. Such amines include compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is alkyl of 8 to 20 carbon atoms and each R.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Ammonium salts of polyboranes are useful as antihyperlipidemic agents for lowering serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in mammals. Such polyborane ions include the B.sub.3 H.sub.8.sup.- and B.sub.n H.sub.n.sup.= groups in which n is 6 to 12.

Abstract: A wall mounted soap dispenser made of plastic is described. The dispenser includes a hand-operated pump which dispenses liquid soap under pressure and which can be manufactured inexpensively. A disposable container of liquid soap is inserted in the dispenser to refill the dispenser. The pump has on its top a pan to collect liquid spilled as the disposable container is inserted. The pump and container are enclosed in a plastic housing which hinges from a plastic wall plate. A plastic latch with plastic key is used to lock the housing to the wall mounting plate. The pump mechanism uses a piston of two sections of different diameter and corresponding piston chamber of two sections of different diameter. There is an adjustable piston stroke length limiting mechanism. The piston is attached to the lever which moves the piston by means of a crossbar on the end of the piston rod. The crossbar is inserted in a slot in the lever and then turned to cross the slot.

Abstract: A disposable wall-mounted dispensing container is disclosed. The container fits into a wall-mounted bracket. A button near the bottom of the container body serves as both measuring chamber to accurately allocate the portion and piston to deliver the portion.

Abstract: Hot pressed refractory boride shapes are treated with molten alkali metal hydroxide such as by immersion in a bath of the molten hydroxide. The treatment cleans and removes residual carbon from the surface layer of the shapes.

Abstract: Solid, crystalline glass ceramic compositions which are useful as ionic conductor materials, especially for use as solid electrolytes in high temperature, high energy density storage batteries. The glass ceramics are derived from sodium or calcium borates containing one or more metal halide, preferably the chlorides and bromides of the metals from Group 2 to 8 of the Periodic Table of the Elements.

Abstract: S-(2-Halo-2-propen-l-yl) N-(hexamethyleneimino)thiolcarbamates in which the halo is preferably bromo or chloro. The compounds have biological activity and may be used, for example, as selective pre-emergence herbicides.

Abstract: Metal polishing compositions comprising a boronated felspathoid and a suitable liquid, semi-solid or solid carrier. The boronated felspathoid has a crystal structure similar to the mineral nosean.

Abstract: The lubricity of particulate boric acid is reduced by treating the surface of the particles with gaseous ammonia. Fine particles of boric acid treated with a small amount of gaseous ammonia are readily fed to a continuous compactor system.
