The process oil composition for elastomers of the present invention has a property that, when 20 parts by weight of the process oil composition for elastomers are blended with respect to 100 parts by weight of a propylene homopolymer, the melting point of the propylene homopolymer is lowered by 2 to 4.5° C. compared to that of the propylene homopolymer without blending.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Yuichi Ito, Hidenari Nakahama, Kotaro Ichino

Patent number: 8303762Abstract: Compositions comprising at least one oxidant or adhesion promoter, and at least one molecule selected from an aromatic nitroso compound or an aromatic nitroso compound precursor dinitrosobenzene precursor and combinations thereof are provided. At least one of the components is encapsulated. The compositions may find utility in polymer to metal, in particular, rubber to metal bonding. The aromatic nitroso compound or an aromatic nitroso compound precursor may be nitrosobenzene/dinitrosobenzene or nitrosobenzene/dinitrosobenzene precursor respectfully. The nitrosobenzene or dinitrosobenzene precursor may be at least one of a quinone oxime or a quinone dioxime.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Henkel Ireland Ltd.Inventors: Nigel Fay, Brendan J. Kneafsey, Darren Nolan, Susan Warren
