Abstract: Prepolymers are prepared by a reaction of a polyisocyanate and a hydroxylmethyl containing polyester polyol derived from a fatty acid. The prepolymers can be prepared having isocyanate, hydroxyl, or a variety of other reactive functional groups. The prepolymers are useful in making polyurethanes and other polymers, or a crosslinking agents.

Abstract: The present invention is to thermally dissociative blocked polyisocyanate composition containing isocyanurate moieties wherein the isocyanurate is the reactions product of bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane wherein the 5 bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane is a mixture comprising two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane with the proviso the composition comprises at least 5 weight percent of the 1,4-isomer. When blended with a polyhydroxyl compound, such blocked isocyanurate poyisocyantes are 10 particularly useful in powder and solvent-based coatings.

Abstract: The present invention is to a polyurethane dispersion and products produced therefrom wherein the dispersion contains a polyurethane prepolymer produced from the a reaction of an excess of a polyisocyante with an isocyanate reactive molecule wherein the polyisocyante is a bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane. Preferably the isocyanate comprises (i) trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane or (ii) an isomeric mixture of two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, with the proviso said isomeric mixture comprises at least about 5 weight percent of said trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane.

Abstract: The present invention is to a polyurethane dispersion and products produced therefrom wherein the dispersion contains a polyurethane prepolymer produced from the a reaction of an excess of a polyisocyane with an isocyanate reactive molecule wherein the polyisocyante is a bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane. Preferably the isocyanate comprises (i) trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane or (ii) an isomeric mixture of two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, with the proviso said isomeric mixture comprises at least about 5 weight percent of said trans-1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane.

Abstract: Dried tobacco leaves evenly spread by a vibrator, cleaned and sorted out, are directed through the opening of two converging cylinders, and tightly held on between two belts.Now, the belts carrying the leaves, enter into a hot wash basin full of warm water at a temperature of 40 degrees C. They are washed for 4-5 minutes and moved thereafter into a second basin with water heated at 100 degrees C. The bathing of the leaves takes 6-8 seconds and immediately thereafter they are moved into a third, filled with cold water. The three consecutive baths cause the removal by extraction of resins, tars and nicotine. Dissolved by the water and washed away also the are pesticides.The cold water washes away the nitrogenous substances. Hydrolysis removes the textrines. If stronger intervention is desired, the leaves after the first bath may be directed into freezing dry chamber.The wet leaves fall now into another system of reversible conveyors, located in a heated tunnel.
