Publication number: 20110287159Abstract: Steps in the processing of oils derived from plants or vegetables include the degumming, deodorizing and bleaching of the oil before it can be used for further applications. By eliminating one or more of these steps from the processing of the oil, followed by hydrogenating the oil to a specified degree of hydrogenation, the resulting upgraded oils can be incorporated into products having commercial applications. The process uses a high shear mixing device and a hydrogenation catalyst. The process can utilize a single or multiple high shear devices, and utilize renewable oils instead of increasingly scarce petroleum based products. The resulting hydrogenated products may then be utilized in a variety of other commercial applications, such as to render cellulosic products water resistant, provide a coating for numerous cellulosic products, adhesive compositions, ink compositions, firelog compositions, drilling muds or asphalt modifiers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2011Publication date: November 24, 2011Applicant: HRD Corp.Inventors: ABBAS HASSAN, AZIZ HASSAN, GREGORY BORSINGER

Patent number: 7670415Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced moisture vapor barrier performance for concrete-containing materials and surfaces are disclosed. Treatment modalities that include addition of the disclosed materials, compositions and systems to pre- and post-construction concrete-containing materials and surfaces are provided. Moisture vapor barrier properties are effected over an extended period of time as compared to control systems. The disclosed compositions and systems also yield reductions in the rate and/or impact of corrosion are achieved for concrete-containing structures and surfaces and, despite the water soluble properties of the compositions and systems, the treatments are effective in delivering an advantageous level of liquid moisture resistance to the treated concrete-containing structure and/or surface. The composition is synthesized from a feedstock that includes C9 to C16 branched hydrocarbons of varying structures.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Hycrete, Inc.Inventors: David Rosenberg, David C. Darwin, John de Mars, Eugene B. Humphrey, Todd B. Humphrey, legal representative, Michael S. Rhodes, Philip S. Rhodes, legal representative, Philip S. Rhodes, James R.

Publication number: 20100009215Abstract: This invention provides a masking material that can be used to protect an underling surface (e.g., an automobile surface) during an overcoating (e.g., painting) operation. The masking material in one embodiment includes a thickener and a pH control agent and water. The masking material can be applied to a surface that is to be protected from paint overspray or other coating processes, allowed to dry, and the surface then coated (e.g., with paint). After drying of the paint, or other coating, the masking material can removed by water washing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2009Publication date: January 14, 2010Applicant: CAL-WEST SPECIALTY COATINGS, INC.Inventors: Edward W. Woodhall, Robert Louis Mesa

Patent number: 7645333Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous based silicone protectant composition and method for treating various solid surfaces including, but not limited to, fiber-based products, leather, or other soft or hard surfaces to impart water and stain repellency. The protectant composition comprises an MQ resin, a polyorganosiloxane fluid, a silicone solvent and water. The aqueous silicone-based protectant composition is hydrophobic and substantially free of surfactants. The protectant composition can be applied directly or indirectly to a solid surface using various application devices including, but not limited to, spray, aerosol, wipes, sponges and pads.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2005Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventor: Ashot K.

Patent number: 7608143Abstract: Methods of reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete pore solutions are provided. Such methods are useful in providing resistance to gels which form in concrete due to the alkali-silica (ASR) reaction. The methods comprise, in one aspect, adding a salt, in aqueous or solid form, to the concrete, the salt having a cation higher in valence than the anion. In other aspects, the methods of the present invention comprise adding an acidic phosphate or a silicon-containing alkoxide to the concrete. All of the above methods are useful in reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete. Such methods can be used to resist ASR in fresh concrete, in concrete that is setting, or in hardened concrete. Methods are also provided for mitigating ASR while simultaneously healing cracks in concrete or bonding new concrete to existing concrete. The methods involve reacting an Si-containing alkoxide with a source of reactive calcium to produce calcium silicate hydrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2005Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Inventor: Paul W.
