Abstract: A lubricant for reducing or eliminating airborne lubricant exhaust mist in ambient air when used by a tool driven by compressed air. The lubricant includes between about 58 vol % and about 90 vol % polyalphaolefin or polyalphaolefin blend, and between about 10 vol % and about 42 vol % complex ester compatible with the polyalphaolefin or polyalphaolefin blend. The ester includes polymeric molecules with a cohesive tendency to adhere to each other, and when subjected to shear stresses, to form elongate filaments.

Abstract: An air tool or air motor lubricant for adding to compressed air, and the method of operating air tools with the lubricant, in which the lubricant comprises a mixture of a polyalphaolefin or polyalphaolefin blend having a viscosity in the range of 2 to 3000 cSt and a high molecular weight complex ester in a ratio of 1.3:1 to 20:1 of the polyalphaolefin or polyalphaolefin blend to the high molecular weight complex ester. The lubricant comprises about 58 to 90 vol % polyalphaolefin or polyalphaolefin blend and about 10 to 42 vol % high molecular weight complex ester. The mixture of polyalphaolefin or polyalphaolefin blend and high molecular weight complex ester is added in an amount in the air of about 0.2 to 0.6 ppm effective to generate a lubricant airborne mist concentration in exhaust air of 0.2 ppm or less.

Abstract: The invention relates to the papermaking art and, in particular, to the manufacture of insulation paper facing having improved reduction or inhibition in the growth of mold and/or fungus. This invention also relates to articles of manufacture made from such products such insulation, construction articles, buildings and the like.

Abstract: An extrudable polypropylene blend combined with resins in precise amounts so that the resultant extruded film is easier to glue and is useable with hot melt adhesives. Mixtures of polypropylene and low density polyethylene are normally considered incompatible, but the contemplated blends which include 10-30% low-density polyethylene mixed with polypropylene give resin combinations runnable on a coater extruder and they produce a film having the advantages of polypropylene but which are no more difficult to glue than a film of low-density polyethylene.
