Abstract: Processing additives are incorporated in polyvinyl chloride resin by preparing an additive concentrate in free-flowing powder form and mixing an aliquot portion thereof with a batch of polyvinyl chloride powder in a high shear mixer to form a molding composition containing the additives in the desired proportions. The additive concentrate is made by preparing an aqueous emulsion of the lubricants and stabilizers which is then mixed with solid additives such as pigments and fillers to form the free-flowing additive concentrate powder. By using the additive concentrate the need for individual weighing of each additive to be added to each batch of polyvinyl chloride resin is avoided.

Abstract: Modified silicic acids, gels, and silicates are produced by impregnation with a wax or a thermoplastic material, such as polyethylene. The silicic acids, silica gels, or silicates can be impregnated either as they are being formed or after they have formed by adding an aqueous suspension or dispersion of wax thermoplastic material to the silicic acids, gels or silicates. The mixture is then filtered, washed, dried, and finely ground. The organically modified silicic acids, gels, and silicates are useful as delustering agents in lacquer systems.

Abstract: A mold release agent for foamed rubber formulated from the sodium soap of tall oil acids, kerosene and paraffin wax has improved mold release properties. This mold release agent is effectively removed from the molded articles by water washing, thus eliminating the need of hydrocarbon solvents. A preferred method of manufacture of the mold release agent is also described combining the tall oil and a paraffin base oil and heating to 125.degree. F., neutralizing with aqueous alkaline solution dehydrating and heating to 315.degree. F., adding 25% more paraffin base, cooling while stirring, adding wax at 245.degree. F. and finally adding kerosene when mixture has cooled to 130.degree. F., to provide an improved mold release agent.

The material cures without application of heat and is formed from methyl methacrylate monomer, a hydroxy alkylacrylate or diacetone acrylamide monomer, a chlorinated hydrocarbon, an antimony compound, a zinc compound, a filler, and a catalyst-promoter system.

Abstract: Wax polishing compositions in the form of a double emulsion wherein the continuous phase comprises organic solvent, organopolysiloxane and water-in-oil emulsifier and the discontinuous phase comprises aqueous particles having dispersed particles of wax therein. Compositions are prepared by adding at room temperature an aqueous media containing emulsified wax to a solvent solution containing organopolysiloxane and water-in-oil emulsifier, also at room temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aerosol package and method using this package for dispensing substances in spray form and depositing them on a desired limited surface area in the form of a buttery, liquescent solid. The aerosol packaging contains an anhydrous, oleaginous base containing specified fats or waxes and a propellant miscible therewith.

Abstract: A protective surface coating is formed on the surface of a glass object by spraying an aqueous emulsion of a hard wax onto a surface of the object and removing water from the emulsion by the action of heat.

Abstract: By providing a dispersion system which incorporates hard waxes having high molecular weights and a melting point greater than 180.degree.F., a unique paper coating additive is achieved. Preferably, the wax is powdered to a particle size less than 50 microns, and is dispersed in a system compatible with typical paper coating colors. In the preferred embodiments, high molecular weight Fischer-Tropsch waxes are employed.

A vapor pressure depressant is present, such as paraffin and a solubilizer for the wax, such as toluene is present. An anionic detergent consisting essentially of linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is utilized as well as a corrosion inhibiter for permitting retention of the material in metal storage vessels.

Abstract: A water-wettable wax composition comprising a particulate hydrocarbon wax and an emulsifier which is (a) a hydrophilic oil-in-water emulsifier having an HLB of from about 10 to about 20, or (b) mixtures of said hydrophilic oil-in-water emulsifier with a lipophilic emulsifier, wherein there is sufficient hydrophilic emulsifier present to render the overall mixture hydrophilic, said particulate hydrocarbon wax having a particle size of about 1 to 5 microns, the emulsifier being uniformly dispersed in the wax particles.. This wax composition forms a homogeneous water suspension suitable for imparting lubricity.

Abstract: A chlorinated naphthalene and a paraterphenyl are mixed to provide an adhesive for adhering a semiconductor wafer to a support for processing.The adhesive so formed may be evaporated at the end of processing the wafer, without leaving a residue, to release the devices which have been formed from the wafer.

Abstract: A non-abrasive, non-toxic polish for stainless steels and the like in the form of an aqueous, paste-like emulsion containing alumina powder, a non-volatile aliphatic alcohol and a polyoxyethylated aliphatic base.

Abstract: Improved detergent resistant polish compositions can be prepared by adding novel aminofunctional silicon fluids obtained from an equilibration process to conventional polish compositions. Polishes having improved rub-out and gloss may be obtained by adding the aminofunctional silicon fluid and hydroxyl-terminated organopolysiloxanes and/or silicone resins to the polish compositions.

Abstract: A cream wax is produced by forming a mixture of beeswax, paraffin wax and turpentine and heating the mixture to a temperature of approximately 120.degree. F. Linseed oil is heated to the same temperature and then mixed with the above ingredients while maintaining the mixture at that temperature. Naphtha is heated to approximately 110.degree. F. and added to the previous mixture, the temperature of which has been reduced to approximately 110.degree. F. Water and soap are mixed together and heated to approximately 130.degree. F., the heat is removed from the previous mixture and the water and soap mixture added thereto. The aforesaid mixing steps are all accompanied by agitation of the already formed mixture to which the new ingredients are added. The percentage composition by weight of the ingredients to the total composition is as follows: beeswax 8%; paraffin wax and soap 2.4%, turpentine 16%, linseed oil 8%, water 20%, and naphtha 43.2%.

Abstract: In molding polyurethane integral-skin foam the foam tends to stick to the mold surface. Conventional mold release agents have not been found effective; they fail to provide full release of the molded product, are not durable enough to withstand more than one molding cycle, interfere with development of the integral skin, or plate onto the integral-skin thus necessitating solvent washing of the molded foam product. This invention is a method of preparing a mold to release flexible polyurethane integral-skin foam, free from skin damage and other defects, that is durable, i.e., that will permit many molding cycles before requiring replacement, and that permits the molded foam to be merely water washed to remove all traces of the mold release agent.
