Abstract:
There is disclosed a self-disbursing curable epoxy resin composition comprising the addition product of reactants comprising (a) 1.0 reactive equivalent of an epoxy resin, (b) from about 0.40 to 0.95 reactive equivalents of a polyhydric phenol, and (c) from about 0.005 to 0.5 reactive equivalents of an amine-epoxy adduct comprising the addition product of reactants comprising 1.0 reactive equivalent of an aromatic polyepoxide and from about 0.3 to 0.9 reactive equivalents of a polyoxyalkyleneamine.
Abstract:
A process is provided for preparing a dispersion of a polyamide in water, said process comprising: forming a solution of a polyamide having an acid value of greater than about 2 in an organic solvent to form a solution of said polyamide in said solvent, said polyamide and said solvent being at a temperature below the softening point of said polyamide during said dissolving, said solution further comprising a surfactant, wherein at least a portion of the acid value of said polyamide is neutralized, adding sufficient water to said solution with mixing to form an oil-in-water dispersion, the temperature of said solution and said water being below the softening point of said polyamide during said adding, and removing at least a major amount of said organic solvent from said oil-in-water dispersion. The resulting dispersion is useful in preparing a coating of the polyamide, which coating is useful as an adhesive.
Abstract:
Wet-strength resins and methods of making the same by reacting a polyamine, polyaminoamide or alkylated derivative thereof with a cross-linking agent selected from diepoxides, piperazine dichlorohydrin, methylene bis-acrylamide, chloroacetyl chloride and maleic anhydride.
Abstract:
The efficiency by which pulp cooking liquor components penetrate the wood and enable lignin and resins to be removed from the cellulosic materials is increased by contacting wood chips and the like with a liquid mixture comprised of white liquor containing at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of a polymethylalkylsiloxane; a co- and terpolymer of silicone and a polyhydric alcohol; an alkoxylated aryl phosphate; an alkoxylated branched alkyl phosphate; an alkoxylated branched alcohol; an alkyl polyglycoside, an alkoxylated alkyl polyglycoside; a mixture of alkali metal salts of alkyl aromatic sulfate, a sulfosuccinate and a silicone; and combinations thereof; for a residence time effective to extract resinous components without substantial degradation of cellulose and thereafter heating at least a portion of the resulting mixture and wood chips.
Abstract:
A process is provided for preparing a dispersion of a polyamide in water, said process comprising: dissolving a polyamide having an amine value of greater than about 2 in an organic solvent to form a solution of said polyamide in said solvent, said polyamide and said solvent being at a temperature below the softening point of said polyamide during said dissolving, said solution further comprising a surfactant and an inorganic alkaline material, adding sufficient water containing an acid to said solution with mixing to form an oil-in-water dispersion, the temperature of said solution and said water being below the softening point of said polyamide during said adding, the amount of said acid being sufficient to neutralize a portion of said inorganic alkaline material, but insufficient to coagulate said polyamide from the resulting oil-in-water dispersion, and removing at least a major amount of said organic solvent from said oil-in-water dispersion. The resulting dispersion is useful in preparing a coating of the polyamide, which coating is useful as an adhesive.
Abstract:
A resin composition containing from about 10 to 95 % by weight of n-methylolacrylamide and from about 5 to 90 % by weight of a cationic monomer and optionally a nonionic monomer and/or a difunctional monomer.
Abstract:
A wet strength resin composition is comprised of an aminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin acid salt resin having a total organically bound chlorine of up to 0.7 % by weight of the resin. The amount of total organically bound chlorine present is controlled by the process parameters.
Abstract:
A composition for improving the wet strength of cellulosic fibrous webs is comprised of an aminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin acid salt resin having an E/N ratio of from about 0.6 to about 2.0 and from about 1 % to about 35 % of a water soluble cationic polymer based on the weight of the resin. The composition has a total organic chlorine content of from about 0.5 % to 1.0 % by weight based on the weight of the aminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin acid salt resin.
