Abstract:
A method of minimizing the weight loss of mass of the drilling pipe and wellbore casing while drilling a subterranean well with an oil-based drilling fluid comprising adding to the oil-based drilling fluid an anti-wear additive based on sulfated, sulfonated or sulfited natural oils or fats of vegetable or animal origin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a rheology modifier and to its use as thickener in oil-based subterranean treatment fluids; more particularly, the rheology modifier is an aqueous slurry of a pyromellitamide.
Abstract:
Method for decorating green or fired ceramic bodies by inkjet printing including the use of a ceramic inkjet ink which is prepared by milling a ceramic inorganic pigment in an organic medium in the presence of a dispersing agent which is the reaction product of a polyethyleneimine and a 12-hydroxystearic acid and ε-caprolactone co-polyester, until the average particle size of the pigment is between 0.1 and 0.8 μm.
Abstract:
Aqueous adjuvant concentrate with improved spray drift properties and method for its preparation comprising the steps of: i) dissolving from 15 to 30% by weight, on the weight of the final concentrate, of ammonium sulfate in water; ii) adding to the solution from 1 to 10% by weight, on the weight of the final concentrate, of anionic esters of alkyl polyglycosides; iii) dispersing in the solution from 2 to 10% by weight, on the weight of the final concentrate, of hydroxypropyl guar or hydroxypropyl guar acetate; iiii) adding ammonium sulfate to the dispersion to reach an ammonium sulfate final concentration comprised between 33 and 40% by weight.
Abstract:
Ethoxylated phospholipid-enriched soybean oil as an effective adjuvant in herbicidal compositions and method for killing or controlling the growth of weeds which comprises applying on the fields a herbicidal composition containing glyphosate and the ethoxylated phospholipid-enriched soybean oil.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of aqueous polyurethane dispersions, containing from 20 to 50% by weight of an anionic polyurethane having a mean particle size from 1 to 15 micron and providing films with durable low gloss aspect.
Abstract:
