Abstract: A solid composition of coated water-soluble polymer is made from 80 to 250 parts b.w. of solid particles of at least one water-soluble polymer coated with 100 parts b.w. of at least one paraffinic product solid at room temperature and whose melting point is preferably from 40.degree. to 90.degree. C. The solid composition is made by dispersing particles of the water-soluble polymer in the molten paraffinic product and then cooling down to room temperature.

Abstract: Extruded styrenic polymer foams having improved flammability characteristics are obtained when using volatile fluid blowing agents by incorporating therein a small amount (e.g., from about 0.03 to about 2 weight percent based on polymer) of a waxy material in conjunction with at least one conventional non-waxy halogenated flame retarding agent.
Abstract: A microcapsule-containing wax composition, which comprises (a) microcapsules of from 2 to 10 .mu.m diameter, (b) waxes and (c) dispersants, with or without pigments, fillers, volatile constituents and other agents conventionally present in wax compositions for the hot carbon process.The wall material of the microcapsules is a cross-linked urea-melamine condensate.The wax compositions may be applied over all or part of the surface of a base material, and give deeply colored copies with color-forming (CF) layers.
Abstract: A hot melt adhesive composition comprising (I) a hydrogenated resin having a softening point of 60.degree.-130.degree. C. obtained by the hydrogenation of a copolymer resin prepared by reacting (A) at least one five-membered cyclic compound such as cyclopentadiene with (B) at least one dimer or trimer of the five-membered cyclic compound, isoprene and piperylene in specified ratios by weight, and (II) an ethylene type copolymer and/or wax.
Abstract: A ball-point pen ink composition comprising at least a polymeric substance selected form a group consisting of polyisobutylene and ethylene-propylene copolymer, a wax which is solid or semi-solid at room temperature, pigment particles and a low-boiling solvent having a boiling point lower than 200.degree. C. This ball-point pen ink produces writing traces which can easily be erased by an ordinary rubber eraser, especially, even after passage of several days after initial writing.
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for reducing the processing temperature of a thermoplastic polymer comprising blending the thermoplastic polymer in powder form with an effective amount of a compound having a softening temperature of about 20.degree. to 200.degree. C. lower than the softening temperature of the thermoplastic polymer. The invention further pertains to novel chemical blowing agent concentrates.
Abstract: The use of polyvinyloctadecyl ethers as a processing modifier in the extrusion of high-density polyethylene resins leads to a smoother surface of the extruded resin. Other beneficial effects include improved values of such important resin characteristics as tensile strength at break, percentage elongation at break, tearing resistance, and impact resistance.
