Abstract:
The present invention relates to conveyor lubricant compositions including an emulsion of a lipophilic compound and also including an emulsifier and/or an anionic surfactant. The present invention also relates to methods employing such lubricant compositions. In an embodiment, the method includes applying the present lubricant composition to a conveyor with a non-energized nozzle.
Abstract:
The passage of a container along a conveyor is facilitated by applying to the container or conveyor aqueous compositions containing hardness ions. The compatibility of the aqueous compositions with PET bottles is improved when the ratio of hardness as CaCO3 to alkalinity as CaCO3 is greater than about 1 to 1.
Abstract:
The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a composition comprising a water-miscible silicone material wherein the composition has good wetting to polyethylene terephthalate surfaces. The compatibility of the lubricating composition with polyethylene terephthalate is increased because the wetting of the composition to polyethylene terephthalate is improved.
Abstract:
The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a composition comprising a water-miscible silicone material wherein the composition comprises a stoichiometric amount of an organic acid. The compatibility of the lubricating composition with polyethylene terephthalate is increased because of the presence of a stoichiometric amount of acid.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a liquid ink for developing electrophotographic images comprising: a) a carrier liquid having a Kauri-Butanol number less than 30; b) a plastisol; c) a dispersant; and d) a charge director wherein: a. for a positive charge director, the dispersant has amine groups and the plastisol comprises polymeric particles having acid groups and an acid value between 30 and 150 mg KOH/g such that the mole ratio of the amine groups to the acid groups is between 0.075 and 0.3; and b. for a negative charge director, the plastisol comprises a polymer having an amine value between 5 and 200 mg KOH/g and the dispersant has acid groups such that the mole ratio of the acid groups to the amine groups is between 0.075 and 0.3.
Abstract:
An antistatic adhesive article which comprises an adhesive layer and utilizes vanadium oxide to impart antistatic properties to the article. The article is preferably an adhesive tape or sheet. The adhesive may be pressure sensitive or non-pressure sensitive. The vanadium oxide may be incorporated into or onto the tape from an aqueous dispersion.
Abstract:
A coating composition comprises an epoxy silane, an amine hardener that can react with the epoxy silane to form a cross-linked coating, and a stabilizer that includes a sufficient amount of a metal component to delay cross-linking between the epoxy silane and the amine hardener. The coating composition has a shelf life of at least 3 days.
Abstract:
An abrasive article (i.e., a coated abrasive article or a three-dimensional, low density abrasive article) having a sufficient amount of vanadium oxide incorporated therein to provide having a reduced tendency to buildup static electricity during the abrading of a workpiece. Preferably, the abrasive article further comprises a compatible binder (preferably, a sulfonated polymer) to aid in securing the vanadium oxide to the abrasive article. In another aspect, a method of making the same is taught.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.
