Abstract:
A crosslinkable composition of a polymeric thermoplastic and/or elastomeric material which is susceptible to scorching when processed at elevated temperatures, prior to crosslinking, in the presence of a free radical initiator, is protected against such scorching by the incorporation therein of a mixture of at least one hydroquinone compound and a sulfur accelerator. This mixture may also contain at least one monomeric allylic, methacrylic, acrylic or diene type coagent. The mixture exhibits a synergistic effect resulting in improved scorch protection for peroxide cured systems when compared with the protection afforded by the components singly.
Abstract:
Partial or total separation of a mixture of vinylidene chloride and 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane by liquid-liquid extraction with solvents having a Hansen solubility parameter of about 30.8-32.0, such as ethanolamine.
Abstract:
Paint stripper formulations containing a solvent system comprised of an ester such as benzyl formate and methods for using the same to strip paint.
Abstract:
Fire resistant hydraulic fluid compositions comprising (a) one or more esters of polyhaloaromatic acids per se or in combination with (b) one or more hydraulic fluids independently selected from mineral oil, poly- alpha -olefins, alkylated aromatics, cycloaliphatics, esters of dibasic acids, polyol esters, polyglycols, silicones, silicate esters, phosphate esters, and halogenated compositions other than (a); a method for imparting fire resistant properties to known hydraulic fluids by adding one or more esters of polyhaloaromatic acids alone or combined; and the use of the inventive compositions as fire resistant hydraulic fluids. The fire resistant compositions may, optionally, contain one or more shear-stable polymers which have been found to increase the fire resistance of the hydraulic fluid composition.
Abstract:
New and novel carboxylic acid hydrazides bearing a 2,2,6,6-tetra-alkyl-4-piperidine ring and new and novel polymeric compositions stabilized therewith are provided. The novel compounds which contain a light stabilizing group and a reactive hydrazide functionality in the same molecule are prepared by hydrazinolysis of the ester group of an intermediate carboxylic acid ester which contains the 2,2,6,6-tetralkylpiperidine moiety.
