Abstract: An improved material, preferably a biomaterial, is provided which is the reaction product of S8 and a free fatty acid or free fatty acid-containing material, preferably in the presence of metal. The improved material can be made by a method comprising reacting S8 with a free fatty acid to obtain a FFA/S8 composite and shaping the FFA/S8 composite into a solid form. The solid form of said FFA/S8 is melted to form melted FFA/S8 and the melted FFA/S8 is optionally applied as a coating on a surface, used as an adjacent material to a surface or the FFA/S8 composite itself is shaped thereby forming a device and preferably a medical device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a radiation curable coating compositions are provided. In one embodiment the radiation curable coating composition comprises an epoxidized vegetable oil oligomer made from the reaction of epoxidized vegetable oil (EVO) and at least one of a hydroxyl functional acrylate and a hydroxyl functional methacrylate, in the presence of an acid catalyst.

Abstract: A non-toxic malleable, bounceable modeling compound stretchable in a manner similar to chewing gum which is particularly suitable for children. The compound is comprised essentially of a butyl rubber, vulcanized vegetable oil, one or more softening agents, an inorganic filler material, antioxidant and binder. The pliable compound can retain a molded shape for years and is an ideal sculpting material, stress reliever, and aid for improving dexterity. The compound is produced according to a tri-phase process that does not require heating or baking.

Abstract: This invention relates to a kind of white wax and its manufacturing method, particularly the white wax extracted from animal fat and sebum as a nontoxic, non-hazardous product of superb moistening that enhances skin's elasticity while keeping skin from cracking. The white wax in reference is made of animal fat and sebum, duly crushed after pre-treatment of high-temperature sterilization and deodorization and removal of impurities, allowing the fat and sebum to mix. The mixed raw material is heated after undergoing rapid refrigeration before being minced into sticky colloid when cooled and when squeezed and screened, the sticky discharges gummy matter which, when mixed and neutralized with emulsifying agent, allowing the gummy matter transform from greasy substance into watery white wax.

Abstract: A paper coating composition includes a paper coating color formulation and a lubricating additive selected from the group consisting of: a) sulfonated oleochemical derivatives and b) mixtures of calcium stearate and polymer emulsions.

Abstract: Coating compositions for metals effective to inhibit corrosion of ferrous and nonferrous metals susceptible to corrosion, said compositions comprising an inorganic-organic complex in the form of a thixotropic overbased alkaline earth metal sulfonate, particularly calcium, organic sulfonate, complexed with an alkaline earth metal, particularly calcium, carbonate; and linseed oil or a drying oil having drying properties generally similar to linseed oil, said linseed oil constituting at least 15% and, particularly, higher percentages up to about 50%, by weight of the coating compositions; and a drier, preferably of the paint drier type; and particularly advantageously also containing an epoxidized oil, particularly an epoxidized drying oil; and, also, such ingredients as mineral oils, waxes, petrolatums and resins.

Abstract: Coating films are prepared by exposing to oxygen, particularly at ambient temperatures, a composition comprising (a) a film-forming material comprising moieties of an ethylenically unsaturated fatty acid containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups and (b) a strong acid which is fully dissociated in water. Suitable film-forming materials are oil-modified alkyd resins and suitable acids are alkyl/aryl sulphonic acids. Curable compositions and polymeric products, optionally modified with non-autoxidisable polymerizable materials, are also provided.

Abstract: Textile treating compositions which are particularly adaptable for use on partially oriented textile yarn. These textile treating compositions contain a blend of organic esters which may also contain a wax, processing aids and blending agents. The blend of organic esters comprises a blend of alkylidyne trimethanol esters, and an effective amount of at least one member of the group of a diester of a dicarboxylic acid and an ethoxylated ester and a salt of an alkyl aryl sulfonate. The wax can be an ethoxylated fatty acid.
