  • Autoxidizable compositions
    Patent number: 4311624
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved autoxidizable coating and/or impregnating composition containing (1) a reactive non-volatile diluent monomer system of a mixture of dicyclopentenyloxyalkyl esters of polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids and methacryloxyalkyl esters of drying or semi-drying oil fatty acids (2) a film-forming component which contains autoxidizable functionality, (3) a polyvalent metal containing salt or complex that catalyzes the autoxidative curing of (1) and (2), and, optionally, (4) a volatile oxime stabilizer.

  • Lithographic ink of reduced volatile solvent content for reducing atmospheric pollution
    Patent number: 4255196
    Abstract: Disclosed are inks containing compounds of the formula: ##STR1## where --R.sup.1 is --H or --CH.sub.3--R.sup.2 is an aliphatic, preferably linear hydrocarbyl, radical having 11-23 carbon atoms and containing at least one olefinic double bond, or mixtures thereof, --R.sup.2 being free of terminal double bonds, and--X-- is either (a) --OR.sup.3 O-- in which R.sup.3 is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon residue containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, or (b) --O(CH.sub.2 CHR.sup.4 O).sub.n -- where R.sup.4 is --H or --CH.sub.3 and n is an integer of from 2-10, or mixtures thereof.Preferably, --X-- is --OR.sup.3 O-- wherein R.sup.3 is --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR2## --R.sup.1 is --CH.sub.3, and --R.sup.2 is a mixture of hydrocarbyl moieties derived from drying oils and is at least in part polyunsaturated, and more preferably, predominantly so.
