Bruce E. Streeter has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Polyester plasticizers for halogen-containing polymers
    Patent number: 6706806
    Abstract: A portion of the repeating units in polyesters useful as plasticizers for rigid organic polymers are derived from diethylene glycol and at least one dicarboxylic acid. The percentage of these repeating units that can be present in polyesters that are compatible with the organic polymer into which they are incorporated is inversely proportional to the weight average molecular weight of the polyester.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: March 16, 2004
    Assignee: Velsicol Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Jiamin Lang, Franz Josef Luxem, Bruce E. Streeter, Bruce E. Stanhope, Eric R. Zimmermann
  • Film forming compositions containing benzoic acid esters of 8-carbon alcohols as additives
    Patent number: 6689830
    Abstract: Compositions comprising at least one acrylic, vinyl acetate or epoxide polymer or copolymer as a film-forming ingredient and an ester of benzoic acid wherein the alcohol portion of the ester is alkyl and contains eight carbon atoms exhibit unexpected improvements in film-forming and applied film properties. In preferred compositions this alcohol portion is 2-ethylhexyl. Additionally, the preferred benzoic acid ester frequently interacts synergistically with benzoic acid esters derived from oligomeric ethylene glycols.

  • Thioether-modified sealant compositions
    Patent number: 4590240
    Abstract: A window sealant formulation comprising a partially saturated alkanethiol adduct of polybutadiene or polyisoprene is disclosed. The window sealant exhibits good thermal stability, low water vapor transmission rate, non-sulfurous odor, low volatility, and acceptable elongation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 27, 1984
    Date of Patent: May 20, 1986
    Assignee: Morton Thiokol, Inc.
    Inventors: Bruce E. Streeter, John H. MacMillan, Eugene R. Bertozzi
  • One-package, heat-curable sealant compositions comprising a blocked polyisocyanate and a blocked polyamine
    Patent number: 4430489
    Abstract: Formulations comprising two or more reactants in which each reactant is blocked to render it unreactive at temperatures below 100.degree. C. are disclosed. These formulations have utility in the fields of one package insulating glass sealant compositions, high solids coatings, and reaction injection molding.
