Abstract: Aqueous asphalt/wax emulsions are disclosed herein for use in gypsum formulations and other building products. The emulsions may include water; a wax component; an asphalt component; and at least one emulsifier. Optional additives may also be included in the emulsion or in a slurry formed from such emulsion for preparing a settable gypsum composition herein. Methods of making such emulsions are also provided.

Abstract: Polyoxymethylene with addition of conductivity black and of a lubricant mixture composed of a lubricant with predominantly external lubricant action and of a lubricant with predominantly internal action, and also with addition of an impact-modifier component provides a high level of electrical conductivity with good mechanical and tribological qualities. It is used for functional components with requirements for good electrical conductivity with good wear performance.

Abstract: In order to control volatilization or release of organic solvent, especially formaldehyde, and to adsorb them, and at the same time, to improve weather resistance, water resistance, stain resistance and fungus resistance, natural paint is composed of vegetable drying oil, haze wax, candelilla wax and carnauba wax as the main components, and contains at least one or more of rosin, silk powder and component of rice bran.

Abstract: The invention relates to spinning finishes containing a lubricant of improved biodegradability, the lubricant consisting of block copolyesters. The block copolyesters are produced from hydrophilic polyethylene glycols and hydrophobic diols selected from the group of polypropylene glycols, polytetrahydrofurans, polycaprolactone diols, hydrogenation products of ricinoleic acid esters, 1,2-alkanediols, &agr;,&ohgr;-alkanediols and/or dimeric diols and dicarboxylic acids containing 2 to 36 carbon atoms connecting the blocks A) and B), anhydrides thereof, esters thereof with lower alcohols containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms and/or carbonic diesters of lower alcohols containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A formulation is provided for application grinding belt of the type having abrasive material secured to a flexible base for extending the useful life of the belt. The formulation is a solution of toluene, naptha, shellac, wax and ethyl alcohol. Methyl salicylate may be included to provide a pleasant odor.

Abstract: A process for conditioning organic pigments by milling or kneading said pigments in the presence of 0.05 to 25% by weight, based on the pigment to be milled, of at least one micronized wax.The process, in which the use of organic solvents may be dispensed with, yields in a single milling operation, pigments which are distinguished by excellent dispersibility and outstanding fastness properties.

Abstract: A basic aqueous emulsion composition that can be used as a treatment for cellulosic sheets or articles made of cellulosic fibers to provide improved water resistance by forming a discrete coating on the individual fibers that make up the sheet while not substantially limiting the compatibility of the treated sheet with aqueous glues, dyes or inks comprising a major proportion of water, a mixture of wax and rosin, an emulsion stabilizer and a chelating agent.

Abstract: A corrosion inhibiting coating comprises a mixture of waxes, petroleum jelly, a hardener and a solvent. In particular, a corrosion inhibiting coating comprises candelilla wax, carnauba wax, microcrystalline waxes, white petrolatum, an oleoresin, lanolin and a solvent.

Abstract: Protective coating composition which comprises dispersed fine particles of one or more of compounds selected from a metal salt of a higher fatty acid, a higher fatty acid having a melting point of 40.degree.-90.degree. C., and a wax having a melting point of 40.degree.-90.degree. C. in an aqueous solution of a water-soluble film base and a surface-active agent having an HLB value of about 1.7 to 8.6 or silicon oil.
