Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an aqueous anionic polyurethane dispersion, obtainable by: a) dispersing a polyurethane resin, having carboxylic acid groups, in water in the presence of a tertiary amine and b) reacting the carboxylic acid groups on the polyurethane resin with an organic compound having at least two oxirane groups, a basecoat containing said dispersions, a method of coating a substrate with said basecoat and a coated substrate.
Abstract:
A printable paper coating composition containing inorganic particulate such as calcium carbonate particles, an aqueous latex binder such as carboxylated styrenebutadiene copolymer and, optionally, one or more conventional additives further contains a water-insoluble, liquid aromatic compound possessing at least one hydroxyl, ether and/or ester substituent, e.g., 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol) and/or 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (veratrole), to improve the wet rub, dry pick and/or wet pick of the composition as applied to paper.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a resin which is a mixture of a) the product of a diol and one or more diepoxides and b) an A-B-A block copolymer wherein A represents blocks of an epoxy/diol copolymer which is the reaction product of a diol and a diepoxide, and B represents blocks of an epoxy-capped, carboxyl-terminated polybutadiene or polybutadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer. Amine resins, produced by reaction of this resin with an amine are useful as the principal resin in electrocoating formulations which produce deposited films having excellent corrosion resistance and improved impact and chip resistance.
Abstract:
A free-flowing, spray-dried edible powder is preferably made by partially hydrolyzing a gelatin, followed by making an emulsion of the gelatin and an edible oil, followed by spray-drying the emulsion. The method partially hydrolyzes the gelatin so that the weight average molecular weight of the gelatin is between about 15,000 and 35,000. Preferably the vitamin is Vitamin E. Preferably the partial hydrolysis of the gelatin is an enzymatic hydrolysis.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of gamma and delta lactones from organic carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof is disclosed. The process comprises cultivating, under aerobic conditions, a fungus of the genus Mucor in a suitable medium containing the carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof.
