Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for producing cross-linked polypropylene by subjecting a homogenous mixture of a polypropylene with from about 2 to about 20 weight percent, based upon the weight of the polypropylene, of polybutadiene with a molecular weight of from about 500 to about 10,000 to conditions sufficient to effect cross-linking, for example, through the use of cross-linking agents and/or irradiation. In addition, the process disclosed herein may be utilized to produce cross-linked and foamed polypropylenes.
Abstract: A lubricated aromatic polyester copolymer composition comprises an aromatic polyester copolymer of a mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid or derivative thereof at a molar ratio of terephthalic acid group to isophthalic acid group of 9:1 to 1:9 and a bisphenol having the formula ##STR1## wherein --X-- represents --O--, --S--, --SO.sub.2 --, --CO--, or either of an alkylene group or an alkylidene group which can be substituted by a hydrocarbon group having one or more carbon atom or a halogen atom or a halohydrocarbon group; and R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2 ', R.sub.3 ', and R.sub.4 ' respectively represent hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, hydroxyl group or a hydrocarbon group; and a specific lubricant comprising more than 70 wt. % of n-paraffin having carbon atoms of 16 to 40 at a ratio of 0.05 to 5 wt. % based on said polyester copolymer.
Abstract: Arylene sulfide polymers such as poly(p-phenylene sulfide) are solubilized (depolymerized) under mild conditions by contact with a solution comprising at least one aromatic hydrocarbon and a Group IIIA metal halide. In a specific embodiment, arylene sulfide polymers are depolymerized to form aryl sulfides. The solution is useful to remove arylene sulfide polymers deposited on process equipment.
Abstract: Slurries of cross linked carboxyl acid polymers in petroleum base liquids such as mineral spirits are readily obtained by a solvent exchange process wherein a slurry of cross-linked carboxylic acid polymer in the organic liquid it was polymerized in, said liquid having a boiling point below that of the mineral spirits, is heated to a temperature to distill off the polymerization organic liquid while replacing this organic material with the mineral spirits, which may be done simultaneously while essentially maintaining constant volume if desired.
Abstract: Water repellent treating compositions are based upon olefin and paraffin materials containing a substantial proportion of compounds containing from 20 to 24 carbon atoms. The treating compositions are especially useful for application to wood. Additives such as wood preservatives, alkyd resins and, in especially preferred compositions, organic ionizable compounds are included. The preferred compositions are useful for application to wood substrates which are subsequently electrostatically sprayed with a topcoating.
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: There is provided a silicone film-forming composition and method for forming dust-resistant films from such compositions which are comprised of a condensation product of a benzene soluble polysiloxane and a silanol terminated polydiorganosiloxane in combination with a mixed solvent comprised of a volatile organosilicon compound and a hydrocarbon solvent.
Abstract: A novel gelatinous composition is disclosed which contains an intimate melt blend admixture of poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) triblock copolymer having said styrene end block to ethylene and butylene center block ratio within the range of from between 31:69 to 40:60, and high levels of an plasticizing oil.The gelatinous composition is transparent and have a novel combination of properties including unexpectedly high elongation and tensile strength and excellent shape retention after extreme deformation under high-velocity impact and stress conditions. The gelatinous products of this invention are soft, flexible, and have elastic memory, characterized by a gel rigidity of from about 20 gram to about 700 gram Bloom. These and other properties are particularly essential for the gelatinous composition to have utility as toys, therapeutic hand exercising grips, shock absorbers, acoustical isolators, and other uses.
Abstract: Reinforced resin compositions exhibiting excellent heat resistance and appearance, and containing by weight: (a) at least 30% of a polyethylene terephthalate-type resin, (b) 5 to 60% glass fiber, (c) 0.03 to 5% of one or more salts of organic carboxylic acids with metals of the Groups Ia and IIa of the Periodic Table, and (d) 0.1 to 20% of a sorbitan derivative are disclosed. Optionally liquid or solid paraffin or polyethylene wax is incorporated in an amount of 0.3 to 5% based on the total composition may be incorporated if a white article is desired.Molded articles prepared from these compositions, high in heat resistance and uniform appearance, even if the thickness of the molded article is small or uneven or the molding operation is carried out at a relatively low mold temperature, are also disclosed. Molding temperature dependence and thickness dependence on the heat distortion temperature of the molded article are remarkably improved as well.

Abstract: Fiber-treating compositions are disclosed which contain two types of organofunctional polysiloxanes, one bearing amino-functional organic radicals or carboxy-functional organic radicals or epoxy-functional radicals and the other bearing another type of organofunctional radicals selected from the same group. In addition, at least one of the organofunctional polysiloxanes bears one or more polyoxyalkylene radicals.These compositions are useful for durably treating fibers to provide several benefits such as antistatic character, moisture/perspiration absorbability, stain resistance, pliability, smoothness, crease resistance and compression recovery.

Abstract: In a plastic organopolysiloxane molding composition which can be stored in the absence of water and which changes into an elastomeric molding or coating under the effect of water or air, obtained by mixing an .alpha.,.omega.-dihydroxy polydiorgano siloxane with a carboxylic acid amidoalkyl alkoxy silicon compound as a crosslinking agent and a complex titanic acid ester and optionally with a filler, pigment and/or heavy metal salt known to accelerate the crosslinking reaction, the improvement which comprises including in the mixture about 0.2 to 15% by weight, based on the mixture as a whole, of a branched and/or cyclic paraffin hydrocarbon containing from 6 to 24 carbon atoms, whereby the resulting material after hardening can form a strongly adherent bond with a lacquer applied thereto.

Abstract: Oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsion hard surface coating compositions containing a solvent within a specified solubility parameter, silicone fluids, an acrylic polymer soluble in the solvent, surfactants, water and optionally waxes and abrasives. The compositions have excellent detergent resistance, have good gloss and buff properties.
Abstract: Many liquids have properties improved, and fluid flow friction losses are reduced in flowing fluids by adding thereby a small, effective amount of composition comprising (i) a continuous phase of a liquid which is normally miscible with said fluid, and, dispersed therein, (ii) a stable discontinuous phase predominantly comprising fine particles of a high molecular weight polymer which is ultimately miscible with said fluid. In preferred features the compositions include a surface active agent. In other preferred features, friction is reduced in flowing hydrocarbons.
Abstract: Pharmaceutical coatings in the form of aqueous dispersion of a water insoluble polymer prepared by dissolving the polymer in a water immiscible organic solvent, emulsifying the organic solution in water, optionally with the aid of additives, and stripping the organic solvent from the system to provide a colloidal, or near colloidal, aqueous dispersion or latex of small, even sized polymeric particles which are applied to pharmaceutical dosages from highly loaded latices. The latexes, which display resistance to bacterial and mold growth and, when combined with selected additives, provides convenient, attractive coating compositions which afford excellent protection and varied release properties to pharmaceutical dosages.
