Abstract: A process for rendering polymer compositions antistatic and the products of such process are described. The polymeric material is treated with selected amino and sulfonyl titanates and zirconates. These latter materials are soluble in the polyolefins, polyesters and polystyrenes and remain stable during the processing of these polymers. Furthermore, the antistatic agents of the invention do not "bloom" during the polymer processing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new process for producing titanium IV and zirconium IV pyrophosphates, certain of which are new compounds, and their uses. The pyrophosphates are prepared by reacting a metal tetraester with phosphorus pentoxide, with or without the addition of an hydroxyl compound, such as an alcohol or a phenol. Depending on the molar ratio of the components, the compounds produced may contain cyclic or straight chain pyrophosphate groups and alkoxy groups attached to the metallic ion. In addition to forming new compounds, the process of the invention produces the desired products without difficult-to-separate by-products.

Abstract: Cumylphenol and its ester derivatives may be used as accelerators in amine-cured epoxy systems. Also, cumylphenol and its derivatives have been discovered to be useful as reactive diluents for epoxy, phenol and urethane resins. The glycidyl ether, a new composition of matter, is also useful as a reactive diluent for urethane resins. Additionally, the ester derivatives are non-reactive plasticizers for urethane and the benzoate and higher acyl ester for rigid polyvinyl chloride. The benzoate and higher acyl esters are also new compositions.

The derivatives include the higher alkanoic, alkenoic, aryl carboxylic and alkaryl carboxylic esters of monocarboxylic acids, the esters of polycarboxylic acids and inorganic acids, and glycidyl, alkenyl and aralkyl ethers. The borate esters of cumylphenol are particularly useful as impact modifiers with flame retardant properties.
