Abstract: A method of improving tannin stain blocking in a tannin-containing substrate is disclosed which involves applying to the substrate a blend of:(a) an acid-functional polymer formed from about 0.1% by weight to about 20% by weight, based on the total weight of said polymer, of at least one acid-functional monomer; and(b) about 0.1% by weight to about 20% by weight, based on the weight of said acid-functional polymer, of at least one organosilane having a number average molecular weight of from about 100 to about 10,000.A method of improving the physical properties of the coating composition, including viscosity, adhesion, scrub resistance, water whitening resistance, corrosion resistance, hot block resistance and water, fire, smoke, nicotine, pen and ink stain blocking is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are high solids thermosetting compositions comprising a solution of a soft, low molecular weight, hydroxy-functional addition polymer resin and a low molecular weight reactive diluent having two or three aliphatic hydroxyl groups per molecule, the weight ratio of resin to diluent being greater than 1, said coating composition when combined with melamine crosslinking agent being of sprayable, roller coatable, or dip coatable viscosity. Cured coatings, coated articles and processes of coating an article are also disclosed.

Abstract: Motor fuel compositions having detergent properties are disclosed and claimed which are particularly useful in spark-ignition, internal combustion engines. The fuel compositions of the present invention contain certain additives which either substantially eliminate, mitigate against, or maintain at a low level, deposits which would otherwise form in the carburetor, in the intake valves and ports, and in the combustion chamber, including the spark plugs. Such carburetor and intake system (induction system) deposits are to be avoided since they tend to restrict the flow of air through the carburetor especially at idle and at low speeds and/or cause improper valve closing and sluggish valve action. These conditions produce rough engine idling, stalling, and can also result in excessive hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide exhaust emissions. Combustion chamber deposits are to be avoided since they cause an increase in octane requirement, emissions and cause preignition.

Abstract: A new class of compounds having rust inhibiting and/or corrosion protecting properties is disclosed and claimed. The compounds (or mixtures thereof) are especially useful as rust inhibitors and for corrosion protection in hydrocarbon fuel or oil compositions, such as in gasoline, diesel and home heating fuels, industrial oils and lubricating oils, and such fuel and oil compositions incorporating the novel compounds are also disclosed and claimed. In a preferred embodiment the compounds are alkyl ammonium carboxylate salt-ethoxylated alkyl phenol esters of a trimer or dimer acid (or mixture thereof).
