  • Method and an unleaded low emission gasoline for fueling an automotive engine with reduced emissions
    Patent number: 7557255
    Abstract: An unleaded reduced emissions gasoline having at least one of an octane less than about 86.7, a sulfur content less than about 40 ppmw sulfur and containing an oxygenate, and having reduced emissions by comparison to a minimum 87 octane gasoline. A method for reducing emissions from an automotive internal combustion engine is provided for a single vehicle and for a fleet. A method for reducing emissions by use of a distribution network is disclosed and a system for reducing emissions by a combination of a refinery and the vehicles is disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Tie layer for co-extruded acrylonitrile copolymers
    Patent number: 4415520
    Abstract: A process for producing a laminate by bonding together in a molten state (I) a first outer layer composed of a nitrile barrier resin, (II) a tie layer comprising a mixture of (1) a nitrile barrier resin, and (2) a halogenated polyolefin and (3) a thermoplastic resin other than (1) and (2) and (III) a second outer layer composed of a thermoplastic resin.

  • Tie layer for co-extruded acrylonitrile copolymers
    Patent number: 4359506
    Abstract: A synthetic resin laminated structure is produced by bonding together in a molten state a layer of a (I) nitrile barrier resin, (II) a layer of a polymer mixture comprising a nitrile barrier resin and a halogenated polyolefin, and (III) a layer of a thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resins useful in this invention include polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyvinylchlorides, styrene containing polymers such as ABS, SAN and polystyrene, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, polysulfones, polyamides and nitrile barrier resins.
