Abstract:
This invention relates to hot melt adhesives having Mw/Mn's of 5 or less comprising tackifier and semi-crystalline random homopolymers of propylene or copolymers of propylene and up to 28 weight percent of an alpha -olefin, preferably ethylene, treated with a peroxide or other agent to reduce the melt viscosity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for the production of fuel and lubricant additives useful as dispersants and multifunctional viscosity modifiers wherein a dihydroxyaromatic compound is alkylated with an olefinic polymer and then aminated in such a manner as to oxidize the hydroxyl moieties of the dihydroxyaromatic coumpound to carbonyl groups.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a short residence time polymerization reactor operating in periodic mode with multiple catalyst feeds and staged monomer feeds operating to minimize off specification product and optimize and control molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polymer produced. This invention contemplates the polymerization of olefins particularly alpha-olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene into homo, co and terpolymers.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a certain class of polymers, their production into films and applications for their use. These polymers have unique properties which make them particularly well suited for use in polymeric films. These films are very useful in applications requiring heat sealability, particularly those applications containing an ionomer film. It has been discovered that polymers derived from metallocene catalyst systems surprisingly heat seal extremely well, as compared to polymer produced by conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts, to a class of polymers known as ionomers.
Abstract:
An exothermic chemical reaction, for example, hydroformylation, is carried out in a series of loop reactors (10, 20, 30). Fresh reactant feed is supplied not only to the first reactor (10) in the series but also to the second reactor (20), thereby achieving improved overall throughput while maintaining a stable temperature in at least the first reactor (10).
Abstract:
Novel fibers have been made comprising reactor grade isotactic poly-alpha-olefin wherein polypropylene is produced by single-site catalysis and has a melt flow rate of greater than zero to about 5,000, MWD in the range of about 1.0 to about 3.5.
Abstract:
An immobilized Lewss Acid catalyst system for the carbocationic polymerization of olefin monomer is provided. The catalyst comprises a porous polymer support having catalytically active Lewis Acid residue bonded to the surface of the support including the pore surfaces.
Abstract:
A method, composition and filter for reducing the presence of sludge or varnish precursors in a lubricating oil circulating within an internal combustion engine. The lubricating oil containing sludge or varnish precursors is contacted with discrete particles of an oil insoluble, oil wettable compound having an antioxidant functional group and/or a dispersant functional group, which are capable of complexing with sludge or varnish precursors. Preferably the compounds comprise a crosslinked amine having ethylene amine functionality.
Abstract:
Tire inner-liners and inner-tubes are prepared from blends of general purpose rubbers and silicate clay. The clays provide the requisite low air permeability without adversely affecting the flexibility of the rubber composition.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of suppressing misting or spatting from an oil-containing functional fluid, such as a chain saw lubricant, by blending with the functional fluid a mist suppressing effective amount of a copolymer of a C3 or C4 alpha-monoolefin and at least one other alpha-monoolefin having from 5 to about 20 carbon atoms, said copolymer having a viscosity average molecular weight of from about 500,000 to about 10 million.
