  • Processes to make phosphate salt containing products
    Publication number: 20080103321
    Abstract: The present invention provides a continuous process for producing an oil based phosphate containing product. The continuous process includes mixing water with at least one base and an orthophosphoric acid to produce a liquid phosphate salt containing solution. This solution is then dried, granulated, and mixed with a base stock hydrocarbon to form the oil based phosphate containing product.

  • Carbonless paper solvent comprising diisopropylmethylnaphthalene and products utilizing same
    Patent number: 5489332
    Abstract: A carbonless paper solvent is provided comprising diisopropylmethylnaphthalene, generally in an amount of from 20% to 100% of the total weight of the solvent. The solvent is combined with a chromogenic substance and is encapsuled into microcapsules. The microcapsules are applied to a sheet of material and a color developing substance is then applied to another sheet to form a carbonless marking system. When the microcapsules are ruptured, the solubilized chromogenic substance contacts and reacts with the developer to form an image. In a method of the invention, a by-product fraction consisting of components with a boiling point range of 200.degree. to 400.degree. C. are contacted with propylene under conditions sufficient to form an alkylation product comprising diisopropylmethylnaphthalene.
