Abstract: A method for stabilizing organic polymers against copper-catalyzed oxidative decomposition by means of N,N-bis-salicyloyl hydrazine as a metal deactivator is described wherein dust development of the metal deactivator is precluded with certainty and negative property changes of the stabilized organic polymers are avoided. For this purpose, it is provided that a paste which contains finely-crystalline N,N'-bis-salicyloyl hydrazine in fine distribution in a liquid to wax-like aliphatic hydrocarbon of low volatility is worked into the polymer. The method is particularly well suited for stabilizing polyolefins for cable and wire insulation.

Abstract: Coating compositions comprising hydroxy functional film formers and a novel flow control additive comprising a stable crosslinked dispersion prepared by addition polymerization of (a) first and second ethylenically unsaturated monomers each bearing functionality capable of crosslinking with the other and (b) at least one other monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, in the presence of (I) organic liquid which is a solvent for the polymerizable monomers, but a non-solvent for the resultant polymer and (II) a novel polymeric dispersion stabilizer.

Abstract: A stable crosslinked dispersion formed by addition polymerization of selected monomers in the presence of a novel polymeric dispersion stabilizer. Improvement of invention comprises further stabilization of the dispersion by inclusion therein of a butylated melamine formaldehyde resin.

Abstract: A composition suitable for manufacturing into wear-resistant and chemically-inert articles, the composition being a mixture of 74 to 84% polytetrafluoroethylene, 7-17% graphite fibers, and 4-14% fluorinated graphite.

Abstract: Concentrates of from 20 to 50% by weight of titanium dioxide in polycaprolactam are produced by a process in which a 5-15% strength by weight aqueous suspension of titanium dioxide is metered into a solution of caprolactam in water at from 100.degree. to 150.degree. C. at the same rate at which water is distilled off, and after the water has been distilled off the resulting mixture is polymerized at from 240.degree. to 280.degree. C.

Abstract: The dispersibility of dry pigments in a dispersion medium is improved by spraying the pigment before or during its addition to the medium.

Abstract: A coating composition comprising a mixture of an organic solvent solution of polyvinyl butyral and an alcoholic dispersion of substantially spherical colloidal silica. The solid content in said mixture is consisted of 20 to 95% by weight of polyvinyl butyral and 80 to 5% by weight of silica.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for the production of a pigment-synthetic resin concentrate containing an organic solvent soluble polymer and carbon black having quicker distributability in organic media such as lacquer binding media, printing inks, etc., such concentrates being especially suitable for the production of molded parts, castings, films and/or synthetic fibers, the process comprising continuously homogenizing in a mixer powdery pigment and powdery synthetic resin jointly with an organic solvent in a given case also containing plasticizer, stabilizer and/or dispersing acid, dispersing the pigment in the mixture, removing the solvent from the dispersion, comminuting the resulting pigment-synthetic resin concentrated and grinding the product.

Abstract: An improved flush process for the production of a colorant composition, which involves mixing a colorant in the presence of water with the organic carrier material in a kneader at a temperature sufficient to melt said organic carrier material and flushing the colorant onto the organic carrier material with the concomitant formation of a colorant-free separate water phase, wherein the improvement consists essentially of kneading the mixture of molten colorant composition and separate colorant-free water while cooling the kneader and the mixture to a temperature below the softening point of the organic carrier, a temperature sufficient to cause the molten colorant composition to solidify, and concomitantly comminuting the solidified colorant composition into broken, irregular granulates in the presence of the colorant-free water.

Abstract: An improved method of forming a pigmented powder coating composition of the kind wherein the constituents are melt-extruded and the solidified extrudate then ground into a powder is provided. In the improved method, the non-pigment constituents are introduced into a melt-extruder and a pigment dispersion is simultaneously introduced into the extruder at a point downstream of the introduction of the non-pigment constituents. Powder coatings produced by this improved method display enhanced appearance and gloss.
