Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a formulations of cements and methods for bonding dissimilar materials. The formulations and methods can bond a Non-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) containing first polyolefin that is amorphous or has low crystallinity to a second material that is a rigid material or a hard PVC. The methods and formulations can work by co-dissolution at an interface, or activation of a one of the materials prior to bonding.

Abstract: A medical article is provided including a chamber formed from a cyclic polyolefin having an inner surface in sliding engagement with an exterior surface of a sealing member, the inner surface of the chamber being coated with a first organopolysiloxane having a viscosity ranging from about 5,000 centistokes to about 100,000 centistokes; and a sealing member having an exterior surface coated with a second organopolysiloxane having a viscosity ranging from about 10,000 centistokes to about 500,000 centistokes, the coatings being adhered to the surfaces by crosslinking induced by irradiation with an isotope, electron beam, or ultraviolet radiation, as well as methods of reducing breakloose force, sustaining force, and/or sticktion between engaging surfaces in such articles.

Abstract: This invention relates to components useful for medical articles, such as a syringe assembly, having sliding surface(s) coated with a composition including organopolysiloxane(s), the coating being adhered to the surface(s) of the component by crosslinking induced by oxidative treatment and irradiation with an isotope, electron beam or ultraviolet radiation or heat treatment; medical articles including the same; methods to reduce static and kinetic friction between slidable surfaces; and articles of low friction prepared thereby.

Abstract: A non-volatile lubricious coating composition is provided for use with medical devices, such as hypodermic needles, catheters, and the like. The coating composition includes a first siloxane polymer having a very low viscosity less than about 50 centistokes, a second siloxane polymer having a high viscosity greater than about 1,000 centistokes, a reactive silicone polymer which is capable of crosslinking upon exposure to radiation, such as a UV curable silicone acrylate, and a photoinitiator to accelerate cross-linking of the reactive silicone polymer. The coating composition may further include an aminofunctional siloxane polymer to promote adhesion to metal surfaces when used with needles. The coating composition provides flowability without the need for any volatile organic solvent, and is capable of curing to provide adhesion and lubricity.

Abstract: Detergent compositions, essentially free of chlorine bleach compounds, containing a surfactant, builder, enzyme, peroxygen bleach and from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight polyethyleneimine (PEI) or salts thereof are disclosed. These compositions exhibit controlled and improved bleaching action on stains as well as improved storage stability, fabric safety and whitening/brightening characteristics.

Abstract: Detergent compositions, essentially free of peroxygen or chlorine bleach compounds, containing a surfactant, builder, enzyme and from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight polyethyleneimine (PEI) or salts thereof are disclosed. These compositions provide enhanced removal of organic stains, particularly on polyphenolic stains such as morello juice (cherry juice), blueberry juice, red wine, tea and coffee. Improvement was also demonstrated on certain non-polyphenolic stains such as grass.

Abstract: Laundry detergent compositions containing a detergent surfactant, a detergent builder, and from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight ethylene aspartate cysteate sequestrants or its acid form are disclosed. These compositions provide enhanced removal of organic stains, such as food and beverage stains particularly polyphenolic stains such as wine, blueberry, tea, coffee, morello juice and the like.

Abstract: A process for improving the flowability of compositions containing SCMOS is disclosed which includes employing the salt of SCMOS in intimate admixture with a nonionic glycolipid surfactant as the major SCMOS containing constituent of the composition.
