Abstract: A process for the manufacture of hydrophobic paper using a pulp comprising a slurry of cellulosic fibers in an aqueous medium comprising an alkoxysilane. A paper or cardboard packaging product comprising cellulosic fibers having a silane residue substantially uniformly distributed throughout the paper or cardboard and bonded to the cellulosic fibers predominantly through Si—O— bonds.

Abstract: Aqueous silane formulations for treatment of an article or material such as wood, concrete, drywall, cotton fabric or wool fabric, and methods of treating the article or material with the formulation. The aqueous medium comprises an alkoxysilane or a combination of a halosilane a high concentration of a salt component. Optionally, the silane formulation may include a boron-containing component. Integrated processes for producing hydrophobic paper, gypsum, drywall, and concrete by pre-mixing components with alkoxysilane are also disclosed. Further disclosed are combinations of a silane component and a salt component, e.g., in a premixture or in a kit, co-pack or co-shipment. Novel treated products, including recreational equipment, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Preservative compositions for wood products are described. The compositions include at least one boron-containing material, such as but not limited to boric anhydride, and at least one silane-containing material, such as but not limited to methyltrichlorosilane. Optionally, at least one solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, pentane, or water, may also be employed in the compositions. The compositions impart protection to the treated wood products, especially damage caused by exposure to water and insects.

Abstract: Preservative composition for various materials and method of preserving the same is disclosed. The preservative composition includes at least one silane-containing material and at least one hydrocarbon solvent containing molecules of at least five carbon atoms.
