  • Substrate materials saturated with low vaporizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer emission vinyl ester and polyester resin compositions
    Patent number: 5286554
    Abstract: Substrate materials are saturated with vinyl ester or polyester resins containing polymerizable, vaporizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomers and an emission suppressing amount of ceresin wax and a drying oil such as corn oil and an epoxidized drying oil such as epoxidized soybean oil. The secondary adhesion is improved. The substrate materials are useful in the preparation of laminates.

  • Halogenated ethylene-carbon monoxide interpolymers
    Patent number: 4687805
    Abstract: Halogenated interpolymers of ethylene and carbon monoxide. The halogenated interpolymer is prepared by (a) preparing a mixture of a liquid medium and a backbone polymer having interpolymerized therein ethylene and carbon monoxide, (b) contacting the backbone polymer in the mixture with halogen at conditions effective to react the halogen only with carbon atoms in the alpha position with respect to the carbonyl groups in the backbone polymer, and (c) recovering the halogenated polymer of step (b). The halogenated interpolymer is useful in molding films and articles therefrom and as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride resins. In a preferred embodiment, the backbone polymer has a carbon monoxide content of about 8-20 wt. percent and the halogenated interpolymer has a halide content of about 10-24 wt. percent.
