Abstract:
Cationic polymers and methods for using the same are provided. The method can include contacting an aqueous medium with a cationic polymer. The cationic polymer can include a polymer formed by reacting an aldehyde, and optionally an aldehyde-reactive compound, in the presence of a sufficient amount of guanidine to provide the polymer with a net cationic charge.
Abstract:
Disclosed are binders including urea-extended phenol-formaldehyde alkaline resole resins to which melamine-containing resin has been added, and non-woven fiber compositions made therewith. The disclosed binders may be cured to low formaldehyde-emission and low trimethylamine-emission, water-resistant thermoset binders.
Abstract:
Use of a Maillard reaction product as an adjuvant in a variety of applications including solid-liquid separations, corrosion inhibition, emulsification, dust suppression, slow release fertilization, viscosity modification and others and especially as a depressant or collector in separation processes, including the selective separation of solids and/or ionic species from aqueous media, such as in the process of froth flotation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting the formation or accumulation of ice on a solid surface and for reducing the salt out temperatures.

Abstract:
An emulsion of pitch in water preferably characterized by having a lower level of tack on drying by virtue of using as the emulsifying agent a fatty acid, a chemically modified fatty acid, a rosin acid, a chemically modified rosin acid, or combinations thereof, especially a tall oil fatty acid, or a chemically modified tall oil fatty acid, where the pitch emulsion is useful for reducing the development of fugitive dust in a dust-forming material.

Abstract:
Fiberglass-based materials and fire retardant compositions are described, wherein the fiberglass materials and the fire retardant compositions are encapsulated in a plastic cover. Methods for making encapsulated fiberglass articles are also described.
Abstract:
Dedusting agents for fiberglass products and methods for making and using the same are provided. The composition can include a binder and a dedusting agent. The dedusting agent can include an emulsion comprising one or more pitches, one or more fatty acids, one or more rosins, or any combination thereof.
