Abstract: Compositions of matter that are antifreeze composition, coolants, heat transfer fluids, and de-icing fluids based on the use of coalescent efficient glycol ethers.

Abstract: Compositions of matter that are useful in the preparation of plastics and paints. These compositions contain a large number of silanol groups bonded to the silicon atoms that provide water solubility and/or disperseability of such materials in aqueous solutions. In addition, these compositions contain organofunctional groups that are antimicrobial in nature. These compositions, when coupled with plastics and paints, provide antimicrobial properties to such plastics and paints as well as adhesion properties.

Abstract: A siloxane polymer base that is useful as an excipient for many variable materials that can be compounded into it. Also disclosed are a method for the preparation of such bases, and another method regarding the preparation of the base and actives.

Abstract: A method of encapsulating particulate materials. The method of encapsulating particulate materials may be used to multi coat a coated thermoplastic particle. The method includes providing an amount of acidified water in an amount to hydrolyze a pre-determined amount of alkoxysilane. A particulate thermoplastic material is dispersed within the acidified water. Once dispersed, an amount of alkoxysilane having a pre-determined formula is added and an amount of time is allowed to pass thereby allowing the alkoxysilane to hydrolyze and build a particle having a pre-determined particle size. Once the particle with pre-determined particle size has been obtained, the particles may be combined with alkoxysilane having a pre-determined formula and an amount of time is allowed to pass thereby allowing the alkoxysilane to hydrolyze and build a particle having a pre-determined particle size. This provides an encapsulated particulate material having one or more coatings thereon.

Abstract: Compositions of matter having anti-microbial properties and/or adhesion properties. The compositions of matter are be highly dispersible in aqueous solutions. The presence of a large number of silanols on the molecules of the compositions creates a solubility or disperseability for these molecules in aqueous solutions that is not otherwise obtainable.

Abstract: Compositions of matter that have adhesion properties. The presence of a large number of silanols on the molecules described herein creates a solubility or dispersability of these molecules in aqueous solutions that is not obtainable from random hydrolysis of the precursor silanes.

Abstract: A method of encapsulating particulate materials that enables the particulate materials to be used in end use applications where they currently are not useful. The method uses specific sol gel technology to encapsulate solid particles. In addition, the method can be used to multiple coat a coated particle.
