Abstract: Gel formation is prevented in the reaction between a sulfonyl-chloride-containing resin and a polyamine by first forming an adduct between the resin with an aminophenol. The prevention of gel formation enables sulfonyl-chloride containing resin to be used in admixture with acrylates and epoxy resin to form a polyamine-curable adhesive composition having excellent adhesive properties and chemical resistance.

Abstract: Hydrophobic coating compositions are provided as are processes to coat articles with the compositions. Extremely hydrophobic coatings are provided by the compositions. Durable, weatherable and scratch-resistant coatings are provided by compositions comprising a trifluoromethyl-containing component and a hardenable material. Processes are also provided for forming hydrophobic coatings on articles without any substantial loss of fluorocarbon solvent used in the coating composition. Articles are coated on a surface thereof with a hydrophobic coating reactant or reaction product which forms a coating having an exposed surface populated with 30% by area or more terminal trifluoromethyl groups.

Abstract: A composition for reducing surface tension comprising from about 0.1% to about 0.5% by weight of a hydrocarbon surfactant and from 0.0001% to about 0.3% by weight of a fluorocarbon surfactant, provided that the hydrocarbon surfactant is present at less than or equal to 0.08% by weight when the fluorocarbon surfactant is present at greater than or equal to 0.

Abstract: A composition for electrophoretic deposition of a protective coating. The composition comprises a cationic resin emulsion; and a curative mixed with the cationic resin emulsion. The composition after electrophoretic deposition and curing provides the protective coating that has a concentration of extractable ionic contaminants less than about 200 nanograms/cm2; and a concentration of labile components less than about 36,000 nanograms/cm2.

Abstract: The object is to provide a water/oil repellent composition which can simultaneously perform a water/oil treatment and a polishing treatment to leather products such as leather shoes, etc., by using one water/oil repellent composition, and can also exert excellent water/oil repellent effect and excellent polishing effect. It is constituted so that microcapsules, in which a polishing agent is encapsulated, are dispersed in a water/oil repellent agent.

Abstract: A non-ozone depleting, non-flammable co-solvent composition useful as a carrier for actives such as accelerators, catalysts, initiators, activators and other primer materials for use as adhesive promoter compositions in combination with adhesive compositions. The co-solvent compositions include an azeotropic, non-flammable solution of a fluorinated compound and a substituted benzene compound.

Abstract: Use of fluorine containing polymers for the preparation of high dry formulations wherein the fluorine containing polymers are based on fluoropolyethers comprising a fluorine containing part RF and optionally an hydrogenated part RH, the bonds joining the fluorine containing part to the hydrogenated one being an ether —C—O—C—, bond the terminals T being such as to render the structure bi or polyfunctional, making thus possible the cross-linking reaction, the hydrogenated part RH not containing groups capable of linking by means of hydrogen bonds to basic acceptors.

Abstract: A composition for reducing surface tension comprising from about 0.1% to about 0.5% by weight of a hydrocarbon surfactant and from 0.0001% to about 0.3% by weight of a fluorocarbon surfactant, provided that the hydrocarbon surfactant is present at less than or equal to 0.08% by weight when the fluorocarbon surfactant is present at greater than or equal to 0.

Abstract: An improved method of deacidifying books, imaged paper and other imaged materials having a cellulose base wherein, for a sufficient time to raise the pH of the materials, the materials are treated with alkaline particles of a basic metal oxide, hydroxide or salt dispersed in a hydrofluorether carrier, alone, or in combination with a perfluorinated carrier. A surfactant is added.

Abstract: In the fluorinated cellulosic material obtained by a method for fluorinating a cellulosic material by reacting a cellulosic material selected from the group consisting of cellulose material and lignocellulose material with at least one fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of fluorine-containing olefin compound, fluorine-containing acrylate compound and fluorine-containing methacrylate compound in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst, not only the surface but also the inside of the cellulose and/or lignocellulose materials are modified and high performance of the cellulose and/or lignocellulose materials is realized.
