Abstract:
The invention relates to a rubber composition prepared with pre-treated precipitated silica and tire with component comprised of such rubber composition. The rubber composition is comprised of at least one diene-based elastomer and said pre-treated precipitated silica together with a sulfur cure package comprised of elemental sulfur together with 1,6-bis (N,N′-dibenzylthiocarbamoyldithio)-hexane crosslinking agent and sulfenamide accelerator.
Abstract:
A composition can include polystyrene, modified-polystyrene, or a mixture thereof. The polystyrene, modified-polystyrene, or mixture thereof can include carbon nanotubes. The composition can also include a polyolefin. The composition can include at most 1.90% by weight of carbon nanotubes, based on a total weight of the composition. The composition can be made by melt blending the polystyrene, modified-polystyrene, or a mixture thereof with carbon nanotubes, and with the polyolefin. An article can be made from the composition.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to vulcanization compositions used to vulcanize elastomeric articles, where the vulcanization compositions have reduced allergenic potential as compared to elastomeric articles formed using vulcanization compositions having non-fugitive accelerators. The present invention also relates to elastomeric articles formed using the vulcanization compositions. The invention further relates to methods for making a reduced-allergenicity vulcanization composition, and to methods for using the vulcanization compositions to vulcanize elastomeric articles.
Abstract:
A phenol-modified polyorganosiloxane suitable as a modifier for an organic resin, in which a platinum metal content is reduced, and the yellowing is reduced, a method for preparing the same, and a modifier for an organic resin containing the same are provided. The phenol-modified polyorganosiloxane is a compound of formula (I), having a platinum metal content of 0.9 ppm or less. The phenol-modified polyorganosiloxane can be prepared by subjecting a phenol compound substituted with an alkenyl group of formula (IV) and a polyorganohydrogen siloxane of formula (V) to a hydrosilation reaction in the presence of a platinum-based catalyst applicable to a homogenous system, and subsequently, reducing the platinum metal content of the resulting product to 0.9 ppm or less by conducting one or more filtration procedures selected from the group consisting of filtration conducted where activated carbon is added, filtration conducted by using a filter comprising activated carbon, and filtration conducted by using a filter capable of adsorbing cations, alone or in combination.
Abstract:
A blend is disclosed comprising polyvinyl chloride (PVC) powder and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. This acrylate unexpectedly provides a very nice melt flux state during use in fluidized bed powder coating apparatus. The use of this acrylate in some embodiments allows a reduction of PVC and plasticizer in the blend. Coated metal articles using the blend include appliance components, outdoor furniture, and automotive parts.
Abstract:
The invention provides a biaxially-oriented polyester film that comprises a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film and contains 9000 ppm or less of ethylene terephthalate cyclic trimer, has a molten specific resistance of within 1.0×108Ω·cm, and at least one surface of the film has a surface resistivity of 13 log Ω or less under a relative humidity of 65 %. The invention also provides a wrap-around label for a container produced from the film.
