Patent number: 6232368Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the tensile strength of foundry cores and molds over what may be conventionally achieved. The use of acidic methylene compounds in binder compositions which include strongly alkaline phenolic resoles results in an ester curable binder that may be used to make foundry cores and molds having significantly greater tensile strengths than are achieved with prior art binders. An embodiment of the present invention provides a composition which includes a phenolic resole having a pH ranging from about 10.5 to about 13.5 and an acidic methylene compound.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Borden Chemical, Inc.Inventor: Kenneth B. White

Patent number: 4675118Abstract: A novel compound comprising a quaternary ammonium salt having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R- is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having a carbon chain length of from about 6 to about 18, and X.sup..crclbar. is Cl.sup..crclbar., I.sup..crclbar., Br.sup..crclbar., or OSO.sub.3 CH.sub.3.sup..crclbar.. The compound is soluble in water and/or isopropyl alcohol to form a true solution, which is clear and colorless at 70.degree. F. and which has particular utility as a fabric softening composition. The compound remains as a solution in water even at composition/water weight ratios of 75:25.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1987Date of Patent: June 23, 1987Assignee: Akzona IncorporatedInventors: Keith D. Stanley, Kenneth B. White

Patent number: 4542163Abstract: A method for the manufacture of polyisocyanurate foams which comprises blending a "B" side with an "A" side that includes an isocyanate. The "B" side comprises a polyester polyol, an amine/quaternary ammonium borate ester blend, a surfactant, a blowing agent, and a metal catalyst in amounts of up to 20% by weight of the total weight of the "B" side. The "B" side remains a homogeneous liquid for at least one day without the need for agitation and the foam formed by this method has a friability not exceeding 30%.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1984Date of Patent: September 17, 1985Assignee: Akzona IncorporatedInventors: Kenneth B. White, William J. Largent

Patent number: 4530938Abstract: A method for the manufacture of urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams in which an isocyanate is blended with a "B" side comprising a polyol blend, a surfactant, a blowing agent, and a catalyst. The polyol blend comprises at least 5% (wt.) of a mixture of a polyalkoxylated amine and a polyalkoxylated quaternary ammonium borate ester, at least 40% (wt.) of a resin polyol, with any remainder being a polyether or polyester polyol. All components of the "B" side will remain a homogeneous liquid without phase separation and without the need for agitation for at least 3 days after blending. The resin polyols are preferably moderate viscosity, aromatic polyester polyols derived from polycarbomethoxyl-substituted diphenyls, polyphenyls, and benzyl esters of the toluate family.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1984Date of Patent: July 23, 1985Assignee: Akzona IncorporatedInventor: Kenneth B. White

Patent number: 4530937Abstract: A method for the manufacture of polyisocyanurate foams which comprises blending a "B" side with an "A" side comprising an isocyanate. The "B" side comprises a diol, an amine/quaternary ammonium borate ester blend, a surfactant, a blowing agent, and a catalyst which is present in amounts up to about 20% of the total weight of the "B" side. The "B" side remains a homogeneous liquid for at least three days without the need for agitation and the foam formed by this method has a friability not exceeding 30%.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1984Date of Patent: July 23, 1985Assignee: Akzona IncorporatedInventor: Kenneth B. White
