Abstract: Formulations or compositions which are especially suitable to be contained in a water soluble or water dispersible bag containing a water dispersible organic gel. This gel is a continuous system comprised of effective amounts of hazardous product, a water soluble or water dispersible surfactant which contains a non ionic surfactant and optionally an anionic or amphoteric surfactant. This gel further consists of a gelling agent having, when it is solid, a particle size less than 100 microns.

Abstract: Polymerizable reaction product mixtures are prepared by the reaction of an epoxide of a long chain (1) unsaturated fatty oil or (ii) unsaturated fatty acid or ester thereof with a mixture of (a) acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, (b) a diepoxide, and (c) at least one other modifying compound. The modifying compounds contain a group that will react with the epoxidized fatty oil or with the epoxidized fatty acid or ester. The mixtures produced are useful per se and in formulations as inks or coatings that are curable by exposure to radiation or by heating.

Abstract: An improved method of producing an acylated derivative of an epoxy fatty acid ester or epoxy natural oil, by reacting the epoxy fatty acid ester or epoxy natural oil with a vinyl aliphatic monocarboxylic acid in contact with a catalyst, a polymerization inhibitor and gaseous oxygen, the improvement of adding the monocarboxylic acid, or the acylation catalyst or a mixture of the monocarboxylic acid and the acylation catalyst, to a reaction mixture at an elevated temperature and maintaining an elevated temperature until completion of the reaction.

Abstract: Radiation curable coating compositions that contain an acrylate-capped polyether urethane, a low molecular weight polyfunctional acrylate, a monofunctional acrylate and, optionally, a photo-initiator are described. When cured, the coating compositions are sufficiently hard and flexible to serve as an overprint coating on sheet metal which is to undergo metal forming operations.

Abstract: Polymerizable reaction product mixtures containing cycloalkenylcarbonyloxy compounds are produced by the reaction of a conjugated diene with (i) an acrylate or methacrylate ester of an expoxidized long chain unsaturated fatty oil or (ii) an acrylate or methacrylate of an epoxidized long chain unsaturated fatty acid or ester thereof. The reaction product mixtures obtained are useful per se and in formulations as inks or coatings that can be cured by exposure to radiation or heat.
