Abstract: Improved viscosity maintenance properties and high demulsibility values are provided by asphalt-in-water emulsions; e.g., RS-2 comprising in combination asphalt, emulsifiers and polyacrylamides having molecular weights above about 100,000.
Abstract: A fabric sizing composition comprising a copolymer of a vinyl monomer and an unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymerizable therewith, together with a cationic polymer which is added during or after formation of the copolymer.
Abstract: This invention relates to hot melt adhesive compositions which include an amine terminated polyalkylene oxide neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer wherein the neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer has about 5 to about 250 meq. of neutralized sulfonate groups per 100 grams of the neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer, and about 25 to about 200 parts by weight of a hydrocarbon resin of a petroleum or coal tar distillate, having about 5 to 6 carbon atoms, the hydrocarbon resin being composed of aliphatic dienes and monoolefins per 100 parts by weight of the neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic resin.
Abstract: Quaternized ammonium synthetic polymers having a solution viscosity, as measured on a 1% solution in deionized water at 25.degree. C. using a suspended level viscometer of from 1 to 500 cs are used as dispersing agents in aqueous slurries of water and solid particulate carbonaceous material.
Abstract: This invention provides a process for repairing and surfacing broken asphalt pavements which involves applying to the distressed pavement a binder composition which has exceptional solvating power for asphaltic material, and which functions to solubilize and incorporate aged pavement asphalt into the binder composition as it penetrates and fills void spaces.Illustrative of a preferred binder composition which is applied to the distressed pavement is a homogeneous blend of (1) a FCC main column bottoms residuum boiling above about 650.degree. F., and (2) an asphalt-soluble elastomer which improves the elasticity and wear resistance of the binder composition.
