Abstract: A plastically deformable sealing mass for the use in sealing a leak in a container in which oil, oil-containing or chemical liquid is stored, includes a solvent, and a hydrophobing agent which is received in the solvent. The solvent may be organic solvent, water, oil, or a silicon compound. The hydrophobing agent can be stearate, oleate, silane, siloxane, or silicon.

Abstract: The present application discloses a process for preparing silica particles, said process comprising the step of mixing (I) an aqueous phase and (II) an oily phase comprising pre-polymerized tetraalkoxy orthosilicate, one or more alcohols, and optionally one or more polyalkylene glycols, wherein said aqueous phase comprises, in an aqueous solvent, one or more C6-30-alkyl modified polysaccharides, and optionally one or more polyalkylene glycols.

Abstract: The present invention relates to specific additives comprising cellulose ether, a plasticizer, at least one defoamer and water having a pH greater than 7 for improving the extrudability of clay ceramic masses and other masses which set as a result of baking or sintering, a corresponding extrusion process, the extrudates and their use.

Abstract: A composition for the production of an antireflection coating, comprising a condensate obtainable by the condensation of silicon compounds of the general formula RnSiX4-n (I) in which the X groups are the same or different and represent hydrolyzable groups or hydroxyl groups, the R groups are the same or different and represent non-hydrolyzable groups, and n is 0, 1, 2, or 3, wherein the composition comprises at least one polymeric agent controlling the rheology and at least one solvent with a boiling point of at least 150° C. The present invention also describes methods for the preparation and use of the present composition. In particular, the composition can be applied by screen printing methods on substrates.

Abstract: A method of promoting the adhesion between a coating based on at least one polymer and a substrate surface that can be made of different materials in which an adhesion promoter comprising at least one, optionally oligomeric, addition product having no terminal C?C double bonds and has hydrolyzable silane groups and other functional groups is included in the coating composition, included in a preliminary coating applied to the substrate surface prior to the actual coating, is applied between the coating and substrate surface, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Synthetic cell culture surfaces, including a hydrophobe modified cellulose or an hydroxylated acrylate polymer composition and optionally including a silica source, cell culture coating and cell culture articles incorporating the composition, and methods of making and using the articles for cell culture, as defined herein.

Abstract: A sizing agent composition for printing paper comprising (A) a water-soluble diorganopolysiloxane described by formula  where each R is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, methyl group, and ethyl group, each R1 is an independently selected monovalent hydrocarbon group comprising 1 to 20 carbon atoms, Q is an organic group comprising an amino group or quaternary ammonium salt, m is an integer equal to or greater than 2, n is 0 or an integer equal to or greater than 1, and (m+n) is in the range of 2 to 100; (B) a sizing agent; and (C) water.

Abstract: A binder adjuvant used in engineering includes in aqueous solution, a mixture of a water-soluble cellulose ether and of an antifoaming agent.
