Abstract: A water-borne thermosetting coating composition comprising a stable dispersion or solution of:(A) a polymer containing randomly distributed epoxy groups reacted with(B) a tertiary amine; and(C) a nitrogen resinIs provided. Such composition is useful for spray-, flow-, dip-, roller-, and electro-coating metal and paper substrates and provides coatings of improved properties, including high degree of flexibility during machining and stamping of the coated articles, corrosion resistance, gloss, hydrolytic stability, and non-adulterating of foods and beverages in contact therewith.

Abstract: Thread locking structure in which the separate fluid parts of a two-part adhesive (such as an epoxy resin and an activator) are applied in circumferentially related relation to the threads of a threaded member such as a bolt. At least one pair of adjacent edges of the deposits are in contact and the parts are covered with a single protective sealing film such for example as polyvinyl alcohol. When the companion threaded member is engaged, the two parts of the adhesive are intermingled mechanically and the setting up of the adhesive is initiated.

Abstract: Abrasion resistant coatings comprising epoxy-terminated silanes cured in the presence of highly fluorinated aliphatic sulfonic and sulfonylic catalysts are solvent and abrasion resistant.

Abstract: A process for forming a polyolefin coating layer onto a surface of a metal which comprises coating an uncured epoxy resin layer onto the surface of a metal and melt-bonding a polyolefin modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof onto the uncured epoxy resin layer coated onto said metal surface. The coating layer has a high bonding strength and excellent water resistance, especially resistance against brine.

Abstract: A nylon-base adhesive composition for metals is composed of 100 parts by weight of a mixture of nylon 11 and nylon 12 and about 2-40 parts by weight of nylon 6-12. The adhesive composition has excellent heat resistance and water resistance and is particularly useful for making cans. The properties of the adhesive composition can be further improved by adding thereto polyethylene, an ionomer, or a mixture thereof.A process for bonding steel sheets using the adhesive is also disclosed.

Abstract: The adhesion of propylene polymer layers to enamel coated metal surfaces is improved by incorporating an adhesion promoting amount of a carboxyl modified polypropylene resin in the enamel.

Abstract: A dry release sublimation transfer is provided which includes a temporary backing sheet having disposed thereon a sublimation transfer design layer formed of one or more sublimation transfer inks, and a polymeric coating disposed in contact with such design layer. In one embodiment, the design layer is first printed on the backing sheet employing conventional printing techniques and thereafter the polymeric coating is applied over the design layer. In another embodiment, the polymeric coating is first applied to the backing sheet and thereafter the design layer is printed over the polymeric coating. The dry release sublimation transfer is applied under heat and pressure to a substrate to be decorated, such as cotton fabric or a cotton-polyester fabric, thereby causing the polymeric coating to soften and penetrate into the substrate and upon cooling securely bond the design layer to the substrate.

Abstract: A method of producing steel reinforced conveyor belting wherein the steel reinforcing cords are located in grooves formed between the mating faces of two layers of P.V.C. based material. The faces of the grooves are coated with an adhesive having a P.V.C. base including an epoxy resin and curing agent and the steel cords are adhered to the layers of P.V.C. by curing the assembly of cords and cover layers under heat and pressure.

Abstract: Propylene polymers are heat sealed to enamel coated metal surfaces, the enamel having incorporated therein an adhesion promoting carboxyl modified polypropylene resin. The bond strength of the heat seal is improved by incorporating the carboxyl modified polypropylene resin in the enamel coating formulation dissolved in a hot (heated above 100.degree. C) organic solvent solution selected from aliphatic acids, alcohols and hydrocarbons having at least 10 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A helically fluted deep hole cathode which is fabricated by helically winding at least one thread member around a dielectrically coated cathode tube and then applying a layer of electrical insulation over the tube and thread member so wound and wherein, preferably, the helical flutes commence about the distance of the diameter of the electrode tip from the tip and are selectively formed or machined after forming to have a flute diameter approximately .001 inch to .002 inch smaller than the diameter of the hole to be cut so that the flutes support the electrodes in the deep hole during the cutting operation and provide an egress route for the electrolyte and removed workpiece material to depart the hole area during the hole drilling process.

Abstract: A process for preparing cured epoxy resins, the cured epoxy products, and the curing composition employed, are disclosed. The process comprises contacting an epoxy resin with the curing composition, i.e., a polyamine curing agent and a phenyl urea accelerator.

Abstract: An improved metal foil composite sheet and method of fabricating the same for heating and/or cooling food products. Metal foil is coated on one surface with a heat stable, thermoplastic, epoxy and on its second surface with a heat resistant, dielectric, thermosetting base coat and a top coat of a heat resistant, heat absorptive, thermosetting material. The top coat may be applied in zones of distinct thicknesses simultaneously. Such application provides for legible printing, while preserving the desired heat absorptive properties on the entire foil pouch stock including both the printed and unprinted regions. A completed foil pouch composed of the foil composite sheet permits uniform heating and/or cooling of foods over an extended range of temperatures and times while resisting undesired deterioration.

Abstract: A method for painting automobiles and other articles of manufacture which admits of the use of medium to high concentration of metal pigments, can provide high gloss finish coatings and employs a low concentration of volatile solvents comprising application of a relatively thin, highly pigmented, water-based coating to a substrate, heat curing, application of an unpigmented or lightly pigmented powder coating that is transparent on curing, and heat curing of the powder coating. Products bearing unique finish coatings prepared by this method are claimed.This invention relates to the art of coating. More specifically, this invention relates to a novel method of coating substrates, particularly metal substrates, and to the products produced by such method.

Abstract: Powder coating compositions of copolymers of vinyl chloride and a glycidyl acrylyl compound containing a crosslinker for the oxirane groups of the acrylyl compound and the epoxy resin and a minor amount of a plasticizing epoxy resin have been produced having improved flow properties.
