Abstract:
A U.V. stabilizer composition having a PVC resin-swellable organic solvent and a U.V. stabilizer present in the solvent. The U.V. stabilizer is present in a concentration of at least 18 wt % and effective to incorporate in the PVC resin at ambient temperature an amount of UV stabilizer effective to stabilize the surface of the PVC resin.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for electroplating chromium using lead anodes while achieving the advantages of using methanesulfonic acid without suffering the excessive anode-corrosion characteristics associated with that acid. Accordingly, chromium is electrodeposited from a bath containing chromic acid, sulfate and an alkylpolysulfonic acid containing from one to about three carbon atoms. The invention also provides a plating process for chromium electrodeposition, a plating bath for use in the inventive process, and a replenishment composition for existing plating baths.
Abstract:
A surface modified, U.V. stabilized translucent or opaque polyvinyl chloride resin article and process for making same is described. The article includes a colored pigment, and is characterized by the substantial absence of titanium dioxide therein. The modified surface is substantially free of residual stabilizer and solvent, and its appearance and degree of surface perfection is substantially the same as unmodified side of the article. The process of the invention is characterized by the steps of immersing the polyvinyl chloride article in a suitable liquid media, contacting with a solution of an ultraviolet light stabilizer in a suitable organic solvent, and displacing residual stabilizer and solvent in a nonevaporative environment, that is, without contacting the air.
Abstract:
Ammonia levels in a process gas stream (10) containing carbon dioxide and ammonia are separated and measured with a gas chromatograph (18) containing a photoionization detector (46). The ammonia levels in the process stream are monitored so that the formation of ammonium bicarbonate within the process pipes can be detected.
Abstract:
A stabilized article of a resinous body that has incorporated into the surface region of at least one surface of the body (i) a stabilizing amount of a surface modifier ingredient in a concentration decreasing from the surface and (ii) a solvent in a concentration of less than 0.7 wt.% of the weight of the resinous body.
Abstract:
Fire resistant hydraulic fluid compositions comprising (a) one or more esters of polyhaloaromatic acids per se or in combination with (b) one or more hydraulic fluids independently selected from mineral oil, poly- alpha -olefins, alkylated aromatics, cycloaliphatics, esters of dibasic acids, polyol esters, polyglycols, silicones, silicate esters, phosphate esters, and halogenated compositions other than (a), and (c) one or more shear-stable polymers; a method for imparting fire resistant properties to known hydraulic fluids by adding one or more esters of polyhaloaromatic acids and one or more shear-stable polymers; and the use of the inventive compositions as fire resistant hydraulic fluids.
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.
