Abstract: Rosin esters having suitable color, color stability and/or odor to make them useful for non-woven applications, to non-woven products made from and/or comprising rosin esters, and to methods of making and using such rosin esters and products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to styrenated terpene resin, as well as methods of making an using the same.

Abstract: A process for producing rosin resins comprising reacting together rosin and phenolic compound and/or terpene-phenol resin, in the presence of a Brønsted acid. These resins may be used as tackifiers in adhesive formulations, including chloroprene contact cements.

Abstract: A polyamide diol is prepared by the reaction of a diamine comprising a polymeric diamine and a non-polymeric diamine, dicarboxyic acid, and a hydroxy substituted carboxylic acid. A polyurethane is prepared by the reaction of the polyamide polyol with a diisocyanate.

Abstract: This invention relates to phenolic-modified rosin terpene resins prepared by the reaction of a rosin, a terpene and a phenol, wherein the weight ratio of rosin to phenol is from about 2.00 to about 3.00 and wherein the weight ratio of rosin to terpene is from about 1.40 to about 2.40. The phenolic-modified rosin terpene resins of this invention can be used as tackifers to form hot melt adhesives that can be applied at low application temperatures and more preferably hot melt adhesives also having high heat resistance and good cold adhesion.

Abstract: A device for dispensing volatile fragrances comprises a hollow body, and a liquid volatile fragrance contained within the hollow. The liquid volatile fragrance diffuses through a closure member made of a silicone rubber body, to the outer surface where it is volatilized to disperse in the surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract: Silicone rubber matrices are used to contain and dispense volatile, organic liquids. The articles, as dispensors are improved by the use of silicone rubber matrices prepared by the curing of silicone fluids selected from the group consisting of polydiphenylsiloxane, polymethylphenylsiloxane, polymethyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane and a polydimethylsiloxane wherein 5% or more of the methyl groups of the polydimethylsiloxane are replaced by phenyl or polar aliphatic groups. Higher loadings of the organic liquid into the rubber matrix are achieved without syneresis occurring.

Abstract: Silicone rubber matrices are used to contain and dispense volatile, organic liquids. The articles, as dispensors are improved by the addition of a compatibilizing agent to reduce migration of the organic liquid out of the matrix in the form of liquid drops or films. Higher loadings of the organic liquid into the rubber matrix are achieved without syneresis occurring.

Abstract: The disclosure is of an improved process for the Oppenauer oxidation of geraniol/nerol to obtain citral. The improvement comprises the use of selected tertiary aldehydes as hydrogen acceptors.
