Abstract:
A highly water resistant coating is described for use as a temporary protective or tinting finish for a wide variety of personal items, including one's vehicle and tires. The film forming polymer of the coating is desirable as it can be applied with polar solvent(s) but then upon evaporation of a solubilizing additive becomes water resistant or water proof. Thereafter if a similar solubilizing additive is used in a polar solvent(s), the coating can be removed without damaging the surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of using an aqueous composition or dispersion containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible synthetic polymer, and compositions formed thereof. The aqueous composition or dispersion is added to agricultural spray compositions, ink compositions, deicing or anti-icing compositions, latex paint and coating compositions, cleaner compositions, adhesives, fire-extinguishing chemical compositions, hydro-metallurgy/electro-winning compositions, compositions having organosilanes, personal care compositions, water-based hydraulic compositions, dust control compositions, and textile finish compositions, to impart properties including aerosol control, spatter control, shear stability, rheology control, transfer efficiency, oil/water reduction, sling control, emollient performance, film forming capability, surface activity, encapsulent ability, lubricity, thickening, and anti-wear capability, to the resultant composition formed thereof.
Abstract:
An electrorheological fluid is prepared from a hydrophobic liquid medium and a dispersed particulate phase of (i) a polar solid material which is capable of exhibiting electrorheological activity in the presence of a low molecular weight polar material and (ii) a non-cellulosic polymeric material having a solubility parameter of about 15 to about 50 (MPa) and exhibiting substantially no electrorheological activity in the absence of a low molecular weight polar material. The fluid optionally contains a low molecular weight polar activator. The fluid has good electrorheological performance over a broad temperature range.
Abstract:
L-2449B The present invention relates to an improved process for beneficiating an ore containing sulfide materials with selective rejection of pyrite, pyrrhotite and other minerals and gangue. In particular, the process is useful for beneficiating ores and recovering metals such as copper, lead, zinc, etc., from said ores. In one embodiment the process comprises the steps of: (A) forming a slurry of at least one crushed mineral-containing ore, water and at least one collector which is an acid, or an anhydride, ester, ammonium salt or metal salt of the acid that is represented by the formula (I) or (II) wherein each R1 and R2 is independently a hydrocarbyl or hydrocarbyloxy or hydrocarbylthio group; each X1 and X2 is independently sulfur or oxygen; R3 is a divalent hydrocarbyl group, each R4 and R5 is independently a hydrogen or hydrocarbyl group; a is 0 or 1; b is 0 or 1; c is 1 or 2; Q is a divalent, trivalent or tetravalent hydrocarbyl group or -C(X3)NR5Q'; X3 is sulfur or oxygen; Q' is a divalent, trivalent or tetravalent hydrocarbyl group provided Q' is not divalent in Formula II; Z is -S(O)OH, or -S(O)2OH. (B) subjecting the slurry from step (A) to froth flotation to produce a froth; and (C) recovering a mineral from the froth.
