  • Publication number: 20240034917
    Abstract: An environmentally friendly, bio-based binder system that is useful for the formation of fiberglass insulation, the system includes: A) an aqueous curable binder composition, which includes a carbohydrate and a crosslinking agent; and B) a dedust composition, which includes a blown, stripped plant-based oil and optionally at least one emulsifying agent. The bio-based binder system is typically heated to form a cured binder system.

  • Patent number: 4264653
    Abstract: A process for coating steel with a non-dripping pickle oil is disclosed. The coating process uses a heated hydrocarbon oil containing a long-chain linear alcohol as the coating medium. The alcohol converts the hydrocarbon oil into a meso-solid at ambient temperatures. The coating provides corrosion protection for the steel during storage and shipping. The process is also applicable for converting slushing oils and oils for drawing and stamping of metal into meso-solid coatings.

  • Patent number: 4178400
    Abstract: In an acidic aqueous coating composition containing dispersed particles of an organic coating-forming material and of the type which forms on a metallic surface immersed therein an organic coating which increases in thickness the longer the surface is immersed in the composition, the improvement comprising including in said composition an acid inhibitor thereby improving the quality of said coating, including reducing or preventing the tendency of said composition to form coatings which contain pinholes or blisters.
