Abstract:
A cellulosic substrate is coated by applying a polyurethane adhesive thereto, drying the adhesive, coating the adhesive with an ultraviolet curable solid polyacrylate resin and then curing the composite structure with ultraviolet rays.
Abstract:
Plywood is made by continuously propelling a liquid plywood glue in unfoamed condition at a predetermined flow rate, continuously foaming the glue as it is propelled, and continuously extruding or otherwise applying the foamed glue to the surface of a plurality of wood veneers. The flow rate of the unfoamed and foamed glue is maintained substantially the same on a unit weight of liquid glue per unit time basis. The veneers then are laid up into a plywood assembly and pressed into a plywood panel. The veneers may be preheated to expedite setting of the glue. The method is applicable generally to the application of a foamed liquid to a solid surface.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for coating a substrate with a transparent, weather-resistant, light-stable exterior varnish or lacquer comprising blending a transparent coating resin free of drying types of unsaturation, and free of chlorine and bromine, and a minor amount of a compatible transparent, uncured, unoxidized, water-insoluble linear condensation resin of formaldehyde and a phenol having the formula:
wherein R'' is a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, aryl, and substituted aryl, and R and R'''' are radicals taken from said group or H, the methylene groups in the condensation resin being in the ortho, ortho'' position with respect to the hydroxy group, applying a thin coating of the transparent composition to a substrate, and exposing said coating to conditions, for instance outdoor exposure and/or an oxidation catalyst such as the metallic driers commonly used with unsaturated drying oils, such that oxidation of the phenolaldehyde condensate is achieved to an extent that at least some of the ortho, ortho'' -CH2- groups connected to phenol rings are converted to
groups, whereby the oxidized phenol-aldehyde condensate protects the coating resin and substrate from oxidation or degradation induced by actinic light or other means, the amount of condensation resin being from 5 percent to 35 percent, preferably 10 to 30 percent, based on the combined weights of the resins. The phenol-aldehyde resin may be oxidized prior to being introduced into a coating resin, or it may be oxidized while mixed with the coating resin when it is in liquid form, as an aqueous dispersion, organic solvent solution, or non-aqueous dispersion of the polymer.
Abstract:
IN THE PRODUCTION OF WOOD-SYNTHETIC RESIN COMBINATIONS BY IMPREGNATION OF WOOD WITH A LIQUID POLYMERIZABLE COMPOSITION AND CURING THE POLYMERIZABLE COMPOSITION TAKEN UP BY THE WOOD, THE IMPREGNATED WOOD IS COATED PRIOR TO CURING WITH AN AQUEOUS OR ALCOHOLIC SOLUTION OF A FILM FORMING SUBSTANCE HAVING HYDROPHILIC GROUPS AND WHICH SUBSTANCE IS INSOLUBLE IN THE IMPREGNATING COMPOSITION.
Abstract:
A COATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING A BLEND OF AN ALKYD RESIN, A STYRENE-ALLYL ALCOHOL COPOLYMER, A HEXA-ALKOXY METHYL MELAMINE RESIN AND AN ALKOXY UREA-ALDEHYDE RESIN DISSOLVED IN A SOLUTION OF A NON-REACTIVE LOW BOILING SOLVENT AND A LOW BOILING ALCOHOL IS PREPARED. THE COMPOSITION IS APPLIED TO WOOD PRODUCTS AND IS CURED BY LOW TEMPERATURE BAKING.
