Abstract: The present invention is directed to a non-aqueous composition curable by UV radiation broadly comprising a mixture of two UV curable urethane acrylates. The invention is also directed to a coating process using such composition. One of the urethane acrylates is the reaction product of an isocyanate and a specific OH functional lactone ester (meth)acrylate. The other urethane acrylate is the reaction product of an isocyanate and a specific hydroxy functional (meth)acrylate.

Abstract: The granular, form-selective zeolite catalyst used as bed in a process of producing lower olefins from a feed mixture of higher olefins must be decoked from time to time. This is effected such that the reactor is rinsed with a nitrogen stream heated to 460 to 500° C. for expelling the hydrocarbons, the reactor is then cooled with a nitrogen stream heated to 420 to <460° C., a nitrogen/air mixture heated to 460 to 500° C. then flows through the reactor until complete decoking, and subsequently the reactor is rinsed with a nitrogen stream heated to 460 to 500° C.

Abstract: A test method is described for discovering polymer or polymer-forming components having favorable properties. The method comprises the steps of preparing one or more sets of polymer solutions or solutions of polymer-forming components of different composition, introducing a specified volume of the polymer solution or solution of polymer-forming components into a set of sample vessels, forming a polymer film optionally exposing the polymer film to an increased temperature, determining, sequentially or in parallel, one or more physical properties, and selecting the polymer samples having the most favorable properties.
