Abstract: A grease composition for use as a cable filling material which contains about 75 to 95 parts by weight of a base component of a polyol or ester having a molecular weight of at least about 3000 and about 2 to 20 parts by weight of colloidal particles such as silica. Optionally, an antioxidant component can be added to impart high temperature resistance or a rubber component can be added to improve bleed resistance. Also, an article of manufacture of a cable having a sheath with one of the grease compositions of the invention located therein, and a method for filling the cable with such grease compositions.

Abstract: Polyurethane compositions comprising isocyanate cured specific equivalent weight hydroxyl bearing components used as potting compounds or sealants for hollow fiber or folded membrane biomedical separatory devices, especially when such devices contain containments such as glycerine or water.

Abstract: Polyurethane compositions having improved adhesion comprising amine containing isocyante cured polyols of liquid esters of carboxylic acids having at least 8 carbon atoms for use as potting compounds or sealants for hollow fiber or folded membrane biomedical separatory devices, especially when such device contain contaminants such as glycerine or water.

Abstract: A coating composition comprising a radiation curable oligomer and a reactive diluent having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R' is a monovalent aromatic or alkyl radical including from 4 to about 20 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a divalent alkyl radical including from about 2 to about 4 carbon atoms, and R.sup.3 is hydrogen or methyl. Addition of the reactive diluent not only reduces the viscosity of the uncured composition to an acceptable value for use as a coating but also surprisingly increases the elongation of the cured coating without reducing its tensile strength. Superior coatings for floor tiles, flooring, and other applications are thus provided.
