Abstract: The implementations described herein relate to imidazoline quaternary ammonium based compositions, processes for the preparation thereof and to the use of imidazoline quaternary ammonium based compositions as anti-agglomerants. In some implementations, the anti-agglomerant compositions described herein are able to handle greater than 10° C. subcooling in a sour system up to 40,000 ppm H2S and also without the need for a hydrocarbon phase. It is believed that some of the anti-agglomerants described herein can function without a hydrocarbon phase in sour conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a skin care composition, use of the composition, particularly on unexposed skin areas, and an apparatus for applying the composition to such unexposed and hard to reach skin areas. The composition is most suitable for application to unexposed skin to alleviate dryness, itchiness, odor and/or bacterial growth and comprises from about 0.5 to about 3.0% by weight skin-protectant agent, from about 0.5 to about 3.0% by weight preservative, from about 25 to 50% by weight alcohol, and the remainder being water.

Abstract: A composition for forming electrically-conductive coatings, consisting essentially of a water-urethane resin, a plurality of carbon pigments including carbon black and natural graphite, each carbon pigment having a different preselected average particle size, and sufficient water to permit dispersion of the resin and carbon pigments therethrough. The ratio of resin to total carbon pigment and the ratio of each carbon pigment to total carbon pigment is selected such that a coating formed upon air drying of the composition has a resistance of less than 1 ohms per square and as low as 0.15-0.3 ohms per square.
