Abstract: A package includes a container, a closure coupled to the container, a flaccid loop, and a medal coupled to the flaccid loop. The container may include a wall and the medal retained to the wall by container material of integral one-piece construction with the wall and extending over at least a portion of the medal.

Abstract: An indicator is useful for detecting pressure points on a denture. The indicator is made of a composition that easily adheres to oral mucosa, has a proper viscosity in an oral cavity environment, can be properly spread between an oral mucosa surface and a denture base, and easily specifies an affected part. The composition includes a fatty acid ester having a melting point of 30 to 50° C., a water-soluble high polymer, and a metal oxide. Preferably, the fatty acid is 40 to 95% by weight of the composition, the water-soluble high polymer is 1 to 59% by weight of the composition, and the metal oxide is 0.1 to 50% by weight of the composition.

Abstract: Compositions are provided that include blends that consist essentially of 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoro-3-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pentane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and a third component. The third component is selected from methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, t-butanol, and 1-propanol. The blends form ternary azeotropes. Provided compositions can be useful for cleaning electronic parts, as coating solvent components, as heat transfer fluids, and as lubricants.

Abstract: In a stretched cellulose ester film containing a plasticizer, the plasticizer includes at least an aromatic terminal ester type plasticizer expressed by the following general formula (1): and stretched cellulose ester film includes a cellulose ester having a total acyl substitution degree of 2.4 to 2.9, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 30000 to 200000, and a value of a weight-average molecular weight (Mw)/a number average molecular weight (Mn) being 1.4 to 3.0, B—(G—A)n—G—B??General formula (1) where B represents a benzenemonocarboxylic acid residue, G represents an alkylene glycol residue having a carbon number of 2 through 12 or an oxyalkylene glycol residue having a carbon number of 4 through 12, A represents an alkylene dicarboxylic acid residue having a carbon number of 4 to 12, and n indicates an integer of 0 or more.

Abstract: A binder system for use in the formation of ceramic or other powder-formed greenware comprising a binder, a solvent for the binder, a surfactant, and a component that is non-solvent with respect to the binder and solvent. The non-solvent component exhibits a lower viscosity than the solvent when containing the binder and comprises a low molecular weight oil having a 90% recovered distillation temperature range of between about 220 to 400° C. Also disclosed is a process of forming and shaping plasticized powder mixtures and a process for forming ceramic articles utilizing the binder system.

Abstract: A binder system for use in the formation of ceramic or other powder-formed greenware comprising a binder, a solvent for the binder, a surfactant, and a component that is non-solvent with respect to the binder and solvent.
