Abstract:
A method and product which provides a solid, non-powdered homogeneous form to liquid and low melting point solid compounds which facilitates stability, storage, dispersability and handling and which may be added directly to formulations requiring the liquid compound or low melting point solid compound. The liquid or low melting point solid ingredient is combined with a binder which is comprised of at least a wax and thermoplastic polymer. During the method of forming the product, both the binder and the liquid compound (or low melting point solid compound) pass through a liquid phase during which they are mixed. The product is then formed and cooled.
Abstract:
A chemical composition comprising selected surfactants, dispersants, and degreasers that liquefy, disperse, demulsify, degrease, inhibit corrosion and scale formation, and lower the pour point of a petroleum, coal, Fischer-Tropsch synthesized, or naturally occurring paraffin-based wax and asphaltene. The composition preferably contains (1) a mixture of oil soluble, surface active polyethoxylated compounds; (2) a mixture of organic solvents (non-hydrocarbon) used as degreasing agents, pine oil, and butyl cellusolve; (3) a mixture of oil- and water-soluble dispersing copolymers of partially sulfonated, maleic anhydride and polystyrene with a molecular weight ranging from about 2,000 to about 2,000,000; and (4) a mixture of saturated higher fatty acids and an alkyl-phenolic based compound acting as corrosion inhibitors. Such a product is capable of converting crystalline wax (paraffin) in, for example, slop oil into an amorphous form of wax at room temperature, allowing the wax to be dissolved in, for example, crude oil without the need for heating, and maintaining it in solution at room temperature, substantially reducing, indeed in some applications, preventing, for example, wax build-up in pipelines, processing and transportation equipment, etc., and the recovery of the hydrocarbons in the slop oil. The surface active agent of the composition achieves this, it is believed, by reducing the surface tension of the wax. The preferred combined composition preferably also provides effective corrosion & scale formation inhibitors (protection), demulsifiers, degreasers and pour point & cloud point depressants.
Abstract:
Pigment concentrates comprising at least one pigment, a polyethylene wax prepared from one ethylene and, if desired, one comonomer using a metallocene catalyst, if desired a thermoplastic polymer and, if desired, additives can be used to color plastic moldings and plastic sheets.
Abstract:
A hot melt adhesive composition comprising (a) greater than 40% by weight of a polymeric component; and (b) 5 to 40% by weight of a high hydroxyl number compound, with hydroxyl number greater than 100 mg KOH/g.
Abstract:
An electronic/electric part used in a clean room in which the atmosphere is controlled to process a substrate in a semiconductor device industry, which contains a resin base material and additives added to the resin base material. The additives contain one or more materials selected from the group consisting of an anti-electrostatic agent made of a nonionic compound of a molecular weight of 350 or higher, an anti-oxidizing agent made of a phenolic compound of a molecular weight of 300 or higher, a lubricant, a plasticizer, a fire retardant, and a water repellent. The additives hardly releases gaseous organic substances from the resin base material under a condition where the part is used.
Abstract:
Wax compositions suitable for use in making construction boards are prepared by blending a wax or oil having a low n-paraffin content with a wax having a higher n-paraffin content to provide a wax composition having at least 21 wt % of n-paraffins.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a thermoplastic component and at least one superabsorbent polymer, methods of use for such composition, and articles comprising such composition. The composition may be formed into a film layer or applied to an article with various hot melt adhesive application techniques. The composition is useful for a variety of end-uses, particularly for use in disposable absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, feminine napkins and medical dressings.
Abstract:
A candle and the method of making the same is disclosed wherein the candle consists essentially of about 5 to 40 volume percent of a paraffin wax; about 5 to 10 volume percent of a candle scent; about 0.25 to 1 volume percent of a binding agent; about 50 to 95 volume percent of a soybean oil; and about 1 to 5 drops of a liquid dye. The method of making the candle comprises the steps of: adding a binding agent to paraffin wax and heating the same to about 160° F.; adding soybean oil to the mixture and heating the same to about 160° F.; adding liquid dye to the mixture; adding the candle scent to the mixture; and pouring the mixture into pre-wicked containers.

Abstract:
A polymer composition, especially used for manufacturing screw caps intended for drinks bottles, which are easy to unscrew and at the same time avoid transmitting a taste and/or a smell to the drinks contained in the bottles. The composition includes (1) a polymer, except a polymer based on a conjugated diene, (2) at least one stabilizer and (3) at least one additive in an amount form 0.01 to 1% by weight, chosen from (a) natural, modified or refined, lignite waxes or montan waxes, (b) polyolefin-based or paraffin-based polar waxes, and (c) refractory or metal oxides grafted by polar organic compounds.
