Abstract: Rubber compositions for use in tire treads are disclosed which are essentially made up of natural and/or a selected class of polyisoprene rubbers of specified cis contents and a selected class of styrene-butadiene rubbers of specified styrene and 1,2-bond contents. The composition has a unique viscoelasticity curve, exhibiting sufficient wet skid resistance and adequate fuel saving.
Abstract: Non-miscible polymeric blends comprising a major proportion of a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon and lesser amounts of a maleated, partially hydrogenated block copolymer and an alpha-olefin/alpha,beta-ethylenically unsaturated copolymer exhibit improved melt stability and improved toughness and impact strength.
Abstract: A solvent-based thermosetting coating composition comprising a hydroxy functional urethane modified polyester resin and blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent. The coating composition may be formulated as a hot sprayable, high solids coating composition suitable for use as chip resistant automotive vehicle primer suitable for use on body panel areas subject to chipping by stones, gravel and other road debris. Alternatively, the composition may be formulated as a high solids composition sprayable with conventional spraying equipment. The hydroxy functional urethane modified polyester resin is the product of polymerization of lactone monomers in the presence of hydroxy-containing urethane modified polyester precursor. The polymerization reaction mixture comprises between about 10 and about 80 weight percent the hydroxy-containing urethane modified polyester precursor and between about 90 and about 20 weight percent lactone monomers.

Abstract: Fluoroepoxy compounds are made by reacting a fluoroepoxy resin with an effective curing agent, such as an adduct amine, and, while the compound is sufficiently liquid to wet a fluoroplastic surface, it may be applied to a fluoroplastic adherend, such as a Teflon, to be employed as an adhesive, to form various fluoroplastic products, without requiring any surface treatment of the adherend. The compounds are intentionally formulated with high fluorine contents, normally above 46% by weight, preferably for bonding fluoroplastics with a high F-content, above 55% by weight.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the hot melt type seal agent for adhering and sealing a head lamp of a vehicle, wherein a lens and a housing are integrally one unit. The necessary component materials of the hot melt type seal agent of the present invention include a mixture produced by butyl rubber, SEBS block copolymer and olefin with high softening point. The hot melt type seal agent of the present invention withstands temperature changes in the head lamp and the gas pressure that is filled therein. Consequently, good adhesion, waterproof and high gas-tight performances are achieved.
