Abstract:
The present invention is a replacement plasticizer system made from or containing an epoxidized fatty acid ester plasticizer as a primary plasticizer and a secondary plasticizer. The replacement placement system is useful with a variety of polymers in applications such as wire-and-cable insulations, wire-and-cable jackets, coatings, adhesives, and castings.
Abstract:
The present invention is a moisture crosslinkable composition. It may be (i) a blend of a nonpolar polyolefin and a second highly polar or amorphous polyolefin or (ii) a copolymer of a nonpolar polyolefin and the second polar or amorphous polyolefin. The present invention is useful for the preparation of moisture-cured wires, cables, film, pipe, hot melt adhesives, and other extruded or injection molded articles. The present invention is also useful in the preparation of media for fast transport of selective species, including film membranes.
Abstract:
Described are personal care compositions, comprising an aqueous dispersion comprising an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer and a least one cosmetically acceptable surfactant, emollient, or cosmetic active.
Abstract:
A process for preparation of a phosphoromonochloridite in high yield, by contacting phosphorus trichloride (PCl 3 ) with an aromatic diol, such as 2,2'-biphenol, in a slurry, which contains a portion of the aromatic diol in solid form and contains a solution phase containing the remaining portion of the aromatic diol and an organic solvent, under reaction conditions sufficient to produce the phosphoromonochloridite. The slurry comprises less than 5 mole percent of a nitrogen base, calculated on total moles of the aromatic diol, and the organic solvent is selected for its low hydrogen chloride solubility.
Abstract:
A detergent formulation comprises 0.5 to 10 weight-percent mixed-charge polymer and one to 10 weight-percent nonionic surfactant, where weight-percent is relative to total detergent formulation weight, and wherein the mixed-charge polymer comprises quaternary ammonium groups and carboxylate groups extending as pendant side groups from the polymer backbone.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A rheology modifier including: a water-dispersible, alkali-swellable crosslinked polyacrylate copolymer including 0.02 to 5 weight percent of polysaccharide grafts, based on a total weight of the copolymer.
Abstract:
Described are automatic dishwashing detergents, comprising a builder, a surfactant, and a polymer comprising units derived from at least one carboxylic acid monomer or its salt, at least one allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) and iminodiacetic acid (IDA), said polymer having Formula I: (Formula I) wherein m; n; R, R 1 , R 2 , and X are as defined herein. In some embodiments, an AGE and iminodiacetic acid (IDA) are first reacted to produce an ethylenically unsaturated aminocarboxylic acid monomer, which is then polymerized with at least one carboxylic acid monomer to produce the polymer having Formula I. Alternatively, an AGE is polymerized with at least one carboxylic acid monomer to produce a polymer, which is then reacted to graft IDA thereon to form the polymer having Formula I.
