The solids residue when analyzed by a mass spectrometer contains less than one (1) part per million (1 ppm) of unreacted polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB).Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1984Date of Patent: April 8, 1986Inventor: Harold W.

Patent number: 4554686Abstract: The present invention is directed to polymethylmethacrylate bone cement that is premixed and frozen so as to arrest the polymerization reaction at a suitable point. The frozen bone cement is treated by electromagnetic radiation to insure sterility. In use, the bone cement is warmed until it reaches a temperature and consistency suitable for use. The bone cement may be prepackaged in a syringe, or may be molded for use in connection with a particular prosthesis, or may be packaged unitarily with a prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1984Date of Patent: November 26, 1985Assignee: Technical Research Associates, Inc.Inventor: Charles D. Baker

Patent number: 4554347Abstract: A method of providing cured latex-based compositions is disclosed which permits in situ curing of latexes disposed in plastic container closures or other heat sensitive receptacles without adverse effect on the closure or receptacle. The method comprises heating a fluid latex composition to gel the latex and effect removal of at least a portion of the water initially contained therein and subjecting the resultant composition to modulated microwave energy to effect curing thereof. Modulation of the microwave energy is achieved by applying same in an intermittent or pulsed fashion. The method is of particular interest for the in situ formation of cured latex-based gaskets in polyalkylene container closures.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1984Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: W. R. Grace & Co.Inventor: J. Barry Hawkes, Jr.

Patent number: 4547565Abstract: A trioxane copolymer is manufactured by adding to trioxane and a co-monomer, 0.0001 to 2.0 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the monomers, of one or more sterically hindered phenols, then co-polymerizing the resultant mixture in the presence of a cation-active catalyst, and then treating the resultant copolymer by heating it at a temperature which is higher than the melting point of the copolymer to melt the copolymer and decompose and remove unstable parts of the copolymer.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1984Date of Patent: October 15, 1985Assignee: Polyplastics Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takuzo Kasuga, Takeshi Asano, Yukio Ikenaga, Masami Yamawaki, Yasuyuki Takeda, Koichi Ichimura

Patent number: 4540720Abstract: The invention relates to a simplified, economic process for the production of polyamines by the alkaline hydrolysis of compounds containing terminal aromatic and/or aliphatic isocyanate groups (including modified isocyanates or NCO-prepolymers and semi-prepolymers with NCO-contents of from 0.5 to 40% by weight), with strong aqueous bases, direct isolation of the polyamines from the carbamate stage being possible by thermal carbamate decomposition and/or solvent extraction.The invention also relates to the use of the aromatic and/or aliphatic polyamines containing primary NH.sub.2 -groups obtainable by the process according to the invention for the production of polyurethanes, such as optionally cellular polyurethane plastics and polyurethane foams.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1982Date of Patent: September 10, 1985Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Werner Rasshofer, Gerhard Grogler, Klaus Konig, Dieter Dieterich
