Patent number: 5990199Abstract: The invention relates to indicator ink compositions that contain a water-based dispersion of a phenol-formaldehyde resin, at least one colorant and an amine-terminated catalyst. These indicator ink compositions are fixed to a surface, such as by drying, and respond to specific conditions of time, temperature, humidity, pressure and the presence or absence of certain chemicals by changing color. Compositions provide a means for detecting exposure to a predetermined condition and can be fixed or otherwise attached to nearly any article or designed into patterns on materials. Exposure of the indicator ink to the specific condition, the indicator ink provides a permanent detectable record of the event. Further, by varying the amount of amine-terminated catalyst in the formulation, the specific conditions at which the indicator composition will change color can be altered. Such compositions are specifically useful for determining the effectiveness of a sterilization process.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1995Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: North American Science Associates, Inc.Inventors: John R. Bealing, Joel R. Gorski

Patent number: 5948843Abstract: A lithographic printing ink contains an ester-modified carboxyl-containing copolymer as a pigment dispersant. The ester-modified carboxyl-containing copolymer is the reaction product of a long chain alcohol and a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, wherein at least 35% of the carboxyl groups of the styrene maleic anhydride copolymer are esterified. The ink further includes a liquid carrier resin; a pigment; and a solvent selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof and/or a modifying oil. The pigment dispersants improve color development when incorporated into the ink during the grinding stage.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1996Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Elf Atochem North America, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Boutier, Bruce K. McEuen, Michael F. Heilman

Patent number: 5922815Abstract: The present invention provides an improved process for producing blends of tackifying resins and low molecular weight polyphenylene ether resins. This invention involves combining the resin solutions or redissolving one of the resins once isolated, in the other resin solution and isolation of the resin blend by devolatilization, precipitation, evaporation, spray drying, and/or stripping of the organic solvent.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: David Frederick Aycock, Gary Gelvin, Marc G. Davidson

Patent number: RE37023Abstract: The invention is directed to a stable phenolic dispersion of hydrophilic phenolic resin polymer using polyvinyl alcohol as protective colloid. Incorporation of a small proportion of an etherified bisphenol-A resin into an aqueous solution of a phenolic resin and a protective colloid (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol) forms a stable dispersion with low volatile organics content.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1999Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Resins, IncInventors: Ken A. Bourlier, Peggy S. Mulrenin
