Abstract: The present invention relates generally to sizing-adhesive compositions that combine a sizing component and an adhesive into one sizing-adhesive composition that strengthens the paper, resulting in less paper used and stored, and reduces costs. In one aspect, the process runs at lower temperatures, thereby reducing energy costs. Aspects of the present invention are directed to using these compositions in a process for applying the sizing-adhesive composition to optimize the bonding and sizing of papers. In one aspect, the process produces a corrugated paperboard with acceptable strength at a reduced cost. In another aspect, it provides a means of making a more sustainable packaging material by utilizing less paper, a renewable packaging material, and less energy compared to the current process used to produce corrugated board. In another aspect, the method allows for printability as the application of glue over the surface creates a flatter and more uniform surface.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preparing and dispensing a liquid deicer. The apparatus and method allow deicer ingredients or precursors to be combined in an exothermic reaction to produce a heated deicer at the location where it will be used. In one implementation, potassium hydroxide and acetic acid are combined using the apparatus and method to make hot potassium acetate for use in numerous deicer applications, including deicing of airport runways.

Abstract: A snow removal machine including a housing with a forward opening through which snow enters the snow removal machine. At least one rotatable member is positioned and rotatably secured within the housing for engaging and eliminating the snow from within said housing. The snow removal machine also includes a surface treatment application system with a treatment material dispensing system connected to the housing for dispensing a liquid or solid deicer and/or anti-icing treatment material over an area from which snow has been removed.

Abstract: A mechanically peelable masking coating composition particularly useful for metals, and the method of preparing same for use is provided. The composition is heat curable in one or two heatings to produce a firmly adhering yet peelable coating. In its preferred form the composition comprises a mixture of a dispersion grade vinyl, a plasticizer, an adhesion promoter such as an epoxy, and optionally a thixotrope where greater resistance to sag and flow are desired. No fugitive solvents are required.

Abstract: The invention relates to containers for hot melt adhesives containing isocyanate compounds and to such containers used with heated platen dispensing equipment for the hot melt. More particularly, the invention relates to containers and dispensers for isocyanate containing adhesives that can dispense the adhesive to a use locus without generating toxic concentrations of isocyanate compounds in the environment around the dispenser. The isocyanate compounds are sealed within the containers during dispensing, preventing the generation of a toxic concentration of isocyanate in the environment or the atmosphere during dispensing operations.
