Abstract: This invention relates to thermally-stable, polyglycidyl-terminated polyesters from diglycidyl phthalates and carboxylated polyesters. The resulting resins, when blended and cured with other carboxylated polyesters, are improved binders for powder coating and other applications. The invention also relates to polyglycidyl ester-based powder coating compositions containing these resins.

Abstract: A functional fluid composition is provided which comprises a plurality of different phosphazene compounds of the general formula (P=N).sub.n (R).sub.a (R').sub.b (R").sub.c (R'").sub.d wherein R is at least one alkoxy moiety described by the general formula --OCH.sub.2 (CF.sub.2).sub.y X, with X being hydrogen or fluorine and y being equal to 1 to about 10; R', R" and R'" are different aryloxy moieties, each of R', R" and R'" being selected from the group consisting of phenoxy, alkoxy phenoxys, alkyl phenoxys, chlorinated phenoxys, fluorinated phenoxys, aryl phenoxys, phenoxy phenoxys, fluoroalkyl phenoxys, fluoroalkoxy phenoxys, chlorinated phenoxy phenoxys, fluorinated phenoxy phenoxys and mixtures thereof; n is equal to 3 to about 4 for each of said phosphazene compounds, each of a, b, c and d is equal to or greater than zero such that the sum a+b+c+d is equal to 2n; and for the composition as a whole, the average value of each of a, b, c and d is greater than 0.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of certain phosphazene esters. The process is characterized by its utilization of a phase transfer catalyst, which may be either a quaternary ammonium compound or a quaternary phosphonium compound.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel phosphonic acid, 2,2,2-tris (hydroxymethyl) ethylphosphonic acid, and to a process for its preparation. It also relates to the use of such phosphonic acid as an inhibitor of corrosion of metal surfaces and as an inhibitor of the development of scale in cooling water.
