摘要:
Water-soluble films useful for packaging and encapsulating various products are provided. The packaged and encapsulated products are released when the film dissolves in water. The films incorporate copolymers of vinyl alcohol units and sulfonic acid units at molecular weights and monomer incorporation levels providing improved water solubility characteristics in the presence of certain compounds, especially borate containing compounds. The films are particularly useful for packaging detergent products and encapsulating detergent component such as enzymes.
摘要:
In an aerosol spray composition suitable for coating automobile exteriors, where the aerosol composition is pressurized in a container with propellant and includes water and a polyvinyl alcohol composition, the improvement being that said polyvinyl alcohol composition includes: a) from 50 to 99 wt.% of a partially hydrolyzing first polyvinyl alcohol resin having a degree of hydrolysis in the range of from about 80 to about 90 percent; and (b) from 1 to 50 wt.% of a second polyvinyl alcohol resin having an elevated degree of hydrolysis.

In a method of preparing an aqueous dispersion selected from drilling fluids, hydraulic cement compositions, mineral pigment containing coatings, and papermaking furnishes or in a method of preparing a melt extrudate, the improvement comprising: a) producing a copolymer of vinyl alcohol (VOH) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid or a salt of such acid (AMPS) by steps including continuously feeding with agitation, vinyl acetate (VAM) and AMPS as comonomers, a free radical yielding polymerization initiator, and a solvent for said comonomers, initiator, and copolymer resulting from the copolymerization of said comonomers, maintaining the resulting reaction mass in said first reaction zone under polymerization conditions for a residence time sufficient for a major proportion of AMPS fed to said first reaction zone to polymerize, continuously feeding reaction mass from said first reaction zone with an additional supply of AMPS to a second reaction zone, maintaining the reaction mass in the second reaction zone for a residence time sufficient to polymerize a major proportion of the AMPS added to the second reaction zone, continuously withdrawing reaction mass from the second reaction zone, separating copolymer of VAM and AMPS from the latter reaction mass, and saponifying by hydrolysis and/or alcoholysis a major proportion of the acetate groups in said copolymer to form a copolymer of VOH and AMPS; and b) incorporating the saponified copolymer into the aqueous dispersion or melt extrudate. A product comprising a cold water soluble film wherein: a) the film comprises a copolymer of vinyl alcohol (VOH) with a minor amount of 2-acrylamido-2 -methyl propane sulfonic acid in free acid form or as a salt of the free acid (AMPS); and b) the film has a harsh chemical dissolution time of less than about 80 seconds measured by the harsh chemical dissolution test method after 8 weeks.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a process to produce a film comprising polyvinyl alcohol), wherein the poly (vinyl alcohol) solution has been purified utilizing an ion exchange resin. An approximate 50 micrometer thick film produced from the purified aqueous polyvinyl alcohol) solution has an APHA color value of 50 or less after the film has been heated at 15OºC for 60 minutes.
摘要:
A water-soluble film which comprises a saccharide component and a vinyl alcohol resin component, where the vinyl alcohol resin may include functional comonomer units such as sulfonic acid functional groups or salts thereof. The films exhibit superior resistance to aggressive oxidizing chemicals and remain soluble in water after prolonged exposure thereto. The films are particularly useful for unit-dose packaging of chlorine-containing pool chemicals, such as trichloroisocyanuric acid.
