  • Thermoplastic elastomers having improved processing and physical property balance
    Patent number: 6451915
    Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer formed by a process comprising the steps of dynamically vulcanizing a rubber within a mixture that includes the rubber, from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight of a thermoplastic resin based upon the total weight of the rubber and the thermoplastic combined, and from about 1 to about 25 percent by weight of a polymeric processing additive based upon the total weight of the rubber and the thermoplastic combined, where the polymeric processing additive is a linear polyolefin resin that has an melt flow rate that is greater than about 1,000 dg/min, a diene-modified polyolefin polymer that has an melt flow rate that is greater than about 1,000 dg/min, from about 0.005 to about 2.00 mole percent polymeric units deriving from dienes, and a viscosity average branching index that is from about 0.4 to about 0.
    Type: Grant

  • Unfortified liquid paper sizing composition and method of preparation
    Patent number: 4605445
    Abstract: A tall oil rosin paper sizing composition comprising a homogeneous aqueous liquid which is fully miscible with water at 5.degree. C. On a solids basis, the composition contains between about 15% and about 75% by weight of an alkali metal soap of a condensation product of tall oil rosin and an aldehyde, and between about 85% and about 25% by weight urea. Also disclosed are methods for preparation and use of the novel paper sizing composition.
