Abstract:
This invention relates to certain substituted and unsubstituted alpha-aryl-alpha-phenylethyl-1-H-1,2,4-triazole-1-propanenitriles, their enantiomorphs, acid addition salts and metal salt complexes which are active broad-spectrum systemic fungicides effective in controlling phytopathogenic fungi such as corn helminthosporium, barley helminthosporium, cucumber downy mildew, cucumber powdery mildew, cucumber anthracnose, botrytis, tomato early blight, tomato late blight, grape downy mildew, bean powdery mildew, peanut cercospora, rice blast, rice sheath blight, wheat leaf rust, wheat septoria nodorum, wheat powdery mildew and wheat stem rust. The invention also concerns a method of preparing alpha-aryl-alpha-triazolylmethyl-acetonitrile compounds by reacting an aryl acetonitrile compound with a halomethyltriazole.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions of phosphorus acid group and methacrylic anhydride group containing telomeric copolymers of methacrylic acid having an as yet never achieved amount of more than 70 wt.%, or, preferably, 72 wt.% or more, and up to 99 wt.%, of methacrylic anhydride groups based on the total weight of polymerized methacrylic acid and/or salt units. The compositions enjoy higher thermal stability than was previously achieved and enable easer processing that does not require the removal of liquids or solvents.
Abstract:
The invention provides aqueous thermosetting binder compositions exhibiting both of improved flame retardation and wet tensile strength comprising a reducing sugar, a diprimary diamine or a polyprimary diamine, a phosphorus acid salt and from 3 to 20 wt.%, based on total solids, of an aqueous polymeric polyacid solution polymer containing phosphorus or its salt, wherein the aqueous thermosetting binder composition comprises from 0.7 %P (s/s) to 5 %P (s/s).
Abstract:
The present invention provides thermosetting aqueous binder compositions of one or more diprimary diamine, e.g. lysine, or poly(primary amine), e.g. polyethylenimine, and one or more reducing sugar in which the number of equivalents of primary amine relative to the number of equivalents of carbonyl groups in the reducing sugar ranges from 0.4:1 to 2:1, the binders being suitable for use on fiber, nonwoven, woven web and finely divided substrates. The binders are at least substantially formaldehyde free, need no polycarboxylic or polycarboxylate component, and yet provide excellent hot wet tensile strength when cured for as little time as a minute or less in use.
Abstract:
The present invention provides thermosetting aqueous binder compositions of (i) one or more diprimary diamine, e.g. lysine, or poly(primary amine), e.g. polyethylenimine and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, and (ii) one or more 5-carbon reducing sugar, such as xylose. The binders are at least substantially formaldehyde free and cure rapidly at temperatures sufficiently low and with sufficiently little swelling to enable one to provide wood or woody material containing articles, such as particle board, oriented strand board and bamboo boards or articles.
Abstract:
This invention relates to cellulosic fibers with high fluid absorption properties, and absorbent articles made from such cellulosic fibers, and processes for making such fibers and structures. More specifically, this invention relates to intra-crosslinked cellulosic fibers with phosphinate-containing telomers of acrylic acid and absorbent structures containing such fibers.
Abstract:
A method for preparing acid-containing polymers by reacting them in the presence of end-capped polyols or amines in the presence of phosphorous-containing compounds.
