Patent number: 5171365Abstract: A family of novel and unique synthetic alkali metal alumino-silicates (SAMS) are produced by the hydrothermal reaction between kaolin and alkali metal silicates. The integrated composition of the SAMS products is a unique entity having an overall composition ofxM.sub.2 O:Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :ySiO.sub.2 :zH.sub.2 Owhere x is the number of moles of alkali metal oxide and is an integer from 0.01 to 2.0, M is the alkali metal, y is the number of moles of SiO.sub.2 in the unique SAMS compositions and is an integer greater than 2.0, and z is the number of moles of bound water and is an integer ranging from 1.0 to 5.0. The unique SAMS compositions are structured materials in which the structure can be controlled, and are therefore useful as functional fillers, as TiO.sub.2 extenders, as silica extenders or as reinforcing agents for paper, paint, rubber, plastics and specialty products.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1991Date of Patent: December 15, 1992Assignee: J. M. Huber CorporationInventor: Satish K. Wason

Patent number: 5082878Abstract: New shrinkage control agents, for unsaturated polyester resin systems, which are copolymers of vinyl versatate and vinyl acetate, i.e., poly(vinyl versatate-co-vinyl acetate). The shrink control agents are useful both with neat and filled unsaturated polyester resin systems. The shrink control agents are especially useful under conditions where the unsaturated polyester resin system is cured at or below ambient temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Assignee: W.R. Grace & Co.-ConnInventors: Donald A. Bansleben, Joseph M. Daly, Emil Zavadsky
