Abstract:
Hot-melt adhesive compositions useful for packaging are disclosed. These hot-melt adhesive compositions are based on modified polyethylene and contain an ethylene-alkylacrylate copolymer, a polyethylene graft copolymer, a tackifying resin, and a high-melting low viscosity wax. The hot-melt adhesive compositions disclosed have fast setting times and a novel combination of desired properties with good high and low temperature bond strength.
Abstract:
Novel compositions that are useful as nutrients are disclosed. These compounds are preferably water soluble parenteral nutrients and are glycerol esters of beta -acyloxybutyrates of formula (I) wherein each R is the same or different and is hydrogen, or (COCH2CHOR'CH3), provided that at least one R is not hydrogen and wherein R' is a linear acid ester of even carbon number from 2 to 20 carbons. These compositions are useful as a substitute for glucose in feeding.
Abstract:
This invention provides certain blue substituted 1,4-bis(2,6-dialkylanilino) anthraquinones in combination with selected red anthraquinone and anthrapyridone (3H-dibenz[f,ij] isoquinoline-2,7-dione) compounds which provide a toner system useful in imparting a desirable neutral to slightly blue hue to polyesters having a yellow appearance. The thermally stable colored compounds can have polyester reactive groups and are preferably incorporated into the polyester polymer structure during polymerization.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a water-dispersible acrylic-modified polyester resin containing sulfonate groups prepared by addition copolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomers and a polyester. The polyester is prepared from a polycondensation reaction with dicarboxylic acids, glycols, ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and a minor amount of a sulfomonomer. The acrylic-modified polyester is preparated by first producing the polyester under polycondensation conditions followed by the addition polymerization of the ethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomers. The acrylic-modified polyesters can be formed into a coating composition that has zero or very little organic solvent and is very useful to produce crosslinked cured enamels having excellent gloss, hardness, impact resistance, and water resistance such as those used in automotive finishes, appliance, and coil coatings.
Abstract:
This invention relates to naphthalenedicarboxylic acid containing polymer compositions having reduced fluorescence. More specifically, the polymers contain at least 0.1 mole percent of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid or 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate ester, with 0.1 to 5 mole percent of a copolymerizable aromatic ketone. These polymers are useful for packaging applications where clarity and/or aesthetic appeal are of concern.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved process for the preparation of branched polyethylene terephthalate and co-polyethylene terephthalate, having high melt viscosities. The process comprises carrying out the polymerization of the branched polyethylene terephthalate in intimate admixture with a small amount of isophthalic acid. Polyethylene terephthalate with high melt viscosities are obtained and are free from inhomogeneities.
Abstract:
Disclosed are polymer blends of polyesters or polyesteramides and a styrene polymer. The blends are preferably prepared by polymerizing a styrene monomer in the presence of the polyester or polyesteramide. The blends impart superior gloss and block resistance.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a dimethyl cyclohexanedicarboxylate by the hydrogenation of the analogous dimethyl benzenedicarboxylate ester in the presence of a class of palladium on alumina catalysts which have a unique combination of characteristics. The use of the catalysts permits the process to be carried out at significantly lower process pressures.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a blend comprising (a) 2 % to 98 % by weight of at least one ester of cellulose comprising an alkanoyl chain having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and having a D.S. of 2.3 to 3.0, and an inherent viscosity of 0.2 to 3.0 deciliters/gram as measured at a temperature of 25 DEG C for a 0.5 g sample in 100 ml of a 60/40 parts by weight solution of phenol/tetrachloroethane, and (b) 98 % to 2 % by weight of at least one ester of cellulose comprising an alkanoyl chain having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and having a D.S. of 1.5 to 2.2, and an inherent viscosity of 0.2 to 3.0 deciliters/gram as measured at a temperature of 25 DEG C for a 0.5 g sample in 100 ml of a 60/40 parts by weight solution of phenol/tetrachloroethane, said percentages being based on the weight of component (a) plus component (b).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the recovery of a cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid from an aqueous solution of the cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and sodium sulfate by contacting the solution with vinylpyridine/divinylbenzene ion exchange resins.
