Abstract: Novel acyclic and heterocyclic oxime phosphate compounds have been found to exhibit insecticidal, miticidal and nematocidal activity.

Abstract: Novel ester diol alkoxylate urethane-acrylates comprising the reaction products of an ester diol alkoxylate, such as 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypropyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypropionate, and an organic polyiosocyanate, capped by an hydroxyalkyl acrylate and curable compositions thereof.

Abstract: A process for producing a colorant containing highlighted coated substrate by embossing the surface of the substrate, coating this entire surface of the embossed substrate with a radiation curable fluid coating composition containing from about 0.01 to about 15 weight percent colorant, exposing the coated substrate to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation to initiate the desired radiation cure of the coating, continuing to irradiate the substrate until the entire coating hardens, and recovering a coated substrate on which the coating follows the embossed surface and in which the recessed areas are highlighted with the colorant.

Abstract: Radiation curable acrylated polyurethane is porduced by (a) producing an isocyanate-terminated intermediate by coreacting an organic diisocyanate with a combination of organic tri/tetraol and organic diol, said combination being chosen from polyester tri/tetraol-polyether diol and polyether tri/tetraol-polyester diol combinations; (b) reacting the isocyanate-terminated intermediate with an hydroxyacrylate such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate. Unexpectedly, the oligomer has desirably low viscosity, yet cures upon exposure to radiation to a coating having good physical properties.
