Abstract: A process includes immersing a device in a cooling fluid, the cooling fluid comprising an alkyl modified silicone oil having the following average chemical structure (I) : (CH 3) 3SiO- [ (CH 3) 2) SiO] m- [R (CH 3) SiO] n-Si (CH 3) 3 (I) where: R in each occurrence is an alkyl or substituted alkyl having 6 or more and at the same time 17 or fewer carbon atoms; subscript m has a value of one or higher and at the same time less than 22, subscript n has a value of one or higher, and the sum of m+n is greater than 5 and at the same time less than 50.

Abstract: The disclosure provides paint compositions that comprise isoxazolidine derivatives that are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compositions have extended open time, and are suitable for both water-based and organic solvent-based formulations.

Abstract: Epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester and methods for making epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester. The epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester is prepared from a fatty acid alkyl ester starting material comprising at least one of mono-unsaturated and di-unsaturated fatty acid alkyl ester molecules in a combined amount of at least 85 weight percent. Such epoxidized fatty acid alkyl esters can be employed in plasticizer compositions, either alone or in combination with other plasticizers, such as epoxidized natural oils. Such plasticizers in turn may be used in the formation of polymeric compositions.
