Abstract:
Partially epoxidized compounds obtained from Diels Alder adducts of dicyclopentadiene with fatty oils having a iodine number of 70 or greater and their transesterification products with C 1 to C 10 alkanols are disclosed. 100% solids radiation and heat curable coating compositions containing the epoxidized compounds and/or their transesterification products are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Stripping action of an alkaline paint stripper is improved when ammonia is partially or completely replaced with ammonium bicarbonate or chemical equivalent thereof which decomposes into ammonia and carbon dioxide. A benzyl alcohol solvent system containing at least ammonium bicarbonate is preferably a water-in-oil emulsion emulsified with oleic hydroxyethyl imidazoline and thickened with hydroxypropyl cellulose or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. A mixture of ammonium carbamate and ammonium bicarbonate identified as ammonium carbonate is the preferred activator for this alkaline paint stripper. Improved stripping can also be provided by reacting ammonium bicarbonate and ammonia in situ within the water-in-oil emulsion.
Abstract:
A lithographic printing ink contains an ester-modified carboxyl-containing copolymer as a pigment dispersant. The ester-modified carboxyl-containing copolymer is the reaction product of a long chain alcohol and a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, wherein at least 35% of the carboxyl groups of the styrene maleic anhydride copolymer are esterified. The ink further includes a solvent selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof; a modifying oil; a liquid carrier resin; and a pigment.
where R, R', R'', R''' are independently substituted or unsubstituted, alkyl, alkylene, aryl or alkaryl radicals and x, x', x'', x''', y, y', y'' and y''' are sufficient in value to supply 4 sulfonate groups to the molecule, and the use of such zirconium compounds as catalysts in organic chemical reactions.
wherein L 1 is a main group atom, L 2 is a neutral ligand, M is a transition element or a metal element of Group 13, 14, 15, or 16 of the Periodic Table, x is the number of coordination sites of M, R 1 is a polymerizable group, R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are ligands, and R 5 is an anionic ligand. The compounds or monomers of formula (I) are capable of conversion to polymers by combination with one or more other known monomers, such as methyl methacrylate. Such polymers can then be added as a binder in a paint formulation to make marine antifouling coating compositions. Also described is a method to prevent fouling on surfaces wherein a composition containing a metal complex compound of formula (II):
wherein M, x, L 2 , n, and R 4 have the same meaning as in formula (I), is applied to the surface susceptible to fouling.
Abstract:
An electrochromic element (10) useful in an electrochromic glass or mirror device and a process for making such element. The element is a five-layered structure including an electrolyte ion conducting layer (20) interposed between first and second inorganic electrochromic layers (16, 18) which are interposed between a pair of conductive electrodes (12, 14). The second inorganic electrochromic layer (18) is amorphous. The first and second inorganic electrochromic layers are different and are capable of exhibiting color-forming properties complementary to one another upon the incorporation of at least one H, Li, Na, K, Ag, Cu or Tl ion. The electrolyte ion conducting layer may be a copolymer of ethylene oxide, butylene oxide or methyl glycidyl ether, and optionally a small amount of allyl glycidyl ether, along with an ionizable salt, or may be a polyurethane gel formed by reacting the copolymer with triisocyanate, along with an ionizable salt. The second inorganic electrochromic layer comprises a transition element chalconide or halide. The electrochromic element may also comprise a plurality of five-layer structures in tandem, each pair separated by a substrate.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne des compositions renforçantes pour polymères thermoplastiques ayant des propriétés d'anti-mottage et d'écoulement améliorées, qui comprennent un additif choc et une combinaison synergique comprenant une silice micronisée et au moins un sel de calcium. Ces compositions conviennent tout particulièrement au renforcement du PVC.
