Abstract:
Mixtures of bitumen and thermoplastic polymer stable to storage are prepared by a process comprising: (i) mixing a bituminous product having a content of total asphaltenes, resins, saturated and aromatic products which satisfies the condition that the I.sub.c value is between 0.200 and 0.270 in the expression: I.sub.c =(C7+C5+S)/(A+R) with a thermoplastic polymer, the reaction being carried out at a temperature of between 160.degree. C. and 200.degree. C. and for a time of between 15 and 120 minutes and (ii) diluting the bituminous composition obtained in (i) with a bitumen or bituminous component having an I.sub.c defined as specified above in (i) of between 0.270 and 0.700 in such a quantity that the final concentration of the polymer is between 2.5 and 15% by weight, and heating to a temperature of between 160.degree. C. and 200.degree. C. for a time of between 30 and 90 minutes.
Abstract:
Lubricant fluids for the cold-rolling of steel, comprising one or more organic carbonates of general formula (I) ##STR1## where R and R', which can be identical or different, represent a C.sub.6 -C.sub.30 linear or branched alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl-alkyl radical, possibly mixed, in a quantity sufficient to provide the composition with the lubricant power necessary for the particular application, with a mineral oil base. These lubricant fluids can be conveniently used in the cold-rolling of any type of steel, either as whole oils or, after adding suitable quantities of emulsifiers, as oil concentrates for forming aqueous emulsions or microemulsions. In addition to possessing all the typical characteristics of rolling fluids, they are also able to minimize the formation of carbon residues and deposits in the subsequent annealing process.
Abstract:
Rust-inhibiting compounds, especially for aqueous systems such as tool-lubricating emulsions for machine tools and which consist of amine salts of a number of monoaminoalkylene dicarboxylic acids are disclosed.These rust-inhibitors are used in combination with water and an alkanolamine.Examples and test results are given.
Abstract:
An oil in water emulsion is prepared as a continuous process by causing a stream of water to flow through a duct containing a Venturi providing a converging frustum of a cone zone, a diverging frustum of a cone zone and a central zone joining the two frustum of a cone zones, so that the stream flows through a zone upstream of the Venturi where it is directed along a helicoidal path through the converging frustum of a cone zone to the central zone, drawing oil for emulsification to the duct at the zone upstream of the Venturi and causing it to flow along a helicoidal path in the same direction as the water to the central zone so that the oil and water mix and emulsify in that central zone, causing the emulsion so formed to flow through the diverging frustum of a cone zone, then causing the emulsion to flow along a helicoidal path of reverse slope, and thereafter discharging the emulsion from the duct.
