Abstract: A laminating resin is made from (1) an unsaturated polyester resin comprising maleic acid, phthalic acid, and glycol(s), (2) a diacrylate or dimethacrylate of alkoxylated bisphenol-A, and (3) ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The resin requires no styrene to achieve excellent laminating resin properties, and is significantly inhibited from emitting volatiles during use.

Abstract: A laminating resin is made from (1) an unsaturated polyester resin comprising maleic acid, phthalic acid, and glycol(s), and dicyclopentadiene, (2) a diacrylate or dimethacrylate of alkoxylated bisphenol-A, and (3) EG dimethacrylate. The resin requires no styrene or other monomer, although up to 20% vinyl toluene or 40% cyclohexyl methacrylate may be used to adjust viscosity.

Abstract: A laminating resin comprising (A) an acrylated or methacrylated cycloaliphatic epoxide, (B) an acrylated or methacrylated alkoxylated bisphenol-A, in a weight ratio of (A) to (B) of about 3 to 1 to about 1 to 5, and (C) about 5% to about 50%, based on the total composition, cyclohexyl methacrylate. Vinyl toluene and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate are also used to modify certain properties of the resin.

Abstract: Silyl derivatives of 2,6 dimethyl, 4-allyl phenol include compositions of the formula ##STR1## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are independently selected from alkyl and phenyl groups having up to about eight carbon atoms and/or are connected to form one or more rings. They may be made by silylating the corresponding hydroxyl compound. They are useful as comonomers for olefins to introduce functional sites in high molecular weight copolymers.

Abstract: Thermosetting compositions comprise, (a) about 10% to about 60% of a polymerizable olefinic monomer such as styrene or vinyl toluene (b) from about 1 to about 40% of a maleimide of the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from hydrogen or C.sub.1-3 alkyl groups, and in which the phenyl group may be substituted with aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic groups and up to three halogen or hydroxyl groups, and (c) about 5% to about 89% unsaturated polyester.The compositions are useful for their electrical and heat resistant properties as molding compositions, for the impregnation of electrical coils and for encasing electrical components.

Abstract: Carbonyl sulfide is removed from propylene by hydrolysis over a catalyst comprising platinum sulfide on alumina. Specifically, the propylene is passed through, successively, a C.sub.3 -splitter, a heater, the platinum sulfide catalyst bed, and a topping still where the resulting H.sub.2 S and CO.sub.2 are separated from the purified propylene.

Abstract: In a method of removing carbonyl sulfide from propylene by hydrolysis over a catalyst comprising platinum sulfide on alumina, the improvement comprising regenerating the catalyst by contacting the catalyst with a solvent for polypropylene under conditions such that any polypropylene on the catalyst will be readily dissolved. Specifically, the propylene is passed through, successively, a C.sub.3 -splitter, a heater, the platinum sulfide catalyst bed, and a topping still where resulting H.sub.2 S and CO.sub.2 are separated from the purified propylene. A preferred solvent is liquid propylene.

Abstract: Weakly basic ion exchange resins are used to remove iron compounds in anhydrous or substantially anhydrous organic systems such as phenolic process streams. The resins may be either in the form of a weak salt such as the amine hydrochloride or may be a protonated amine carboxylic acid in the acidic form. In either case, we have determined that the active site does not perform in a conventional ion exchange manner but rather forms a complex with the entire iron compound molecule. While the complex is formed in a waterless or almost waterless system, it may be regenerated in an aqueous system.
