Abstract:
Coating formulations which behave as elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared by creating a fluid having distributed therein effective amounts of ionic charge sites and countercharge sites. For instance, elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared by combining liquid formulations with a dispersion of a small, but effective, amount of at least one crystalline mixed metal hydroxide conforming substantially to the formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH).sub.(m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) (A.sup.n).sub.a .multidot.xH.sub.2 Owhere m is zero to one, D is a divalent metal, d is from zero to 4, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical of valence n and a is the amount of A, where n is 1 or more, (m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) is equal to or greater than 3, (m+d) is greater than zero, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration, if any. The coating formulations include, for example, paints, resin coatings, adhesives, de-icers, curable coatings, dryable coatings, and hardenable coatings.
Abstract:
Silicone grease compositions are prepared by blending a thickening agent with a liquified crosslinked organosiloxane gel produced using a platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction. The gel is liquified by application of a shearing force to the crosslinked gel. The shearing force can be applied prior to and/or during blending of the gel with the thickener.
Abstract:
Formulations or products are caused to be active antimicrobials by the addition thereto of at least one effective amount of at least one crystalline mixed metal hydroxide (MMOH) conforming substantially to the formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH) (m+2d+3+na) (A.sup.n).sub.a.xH.sub.2 Owhere m is zero to one, D is a divalent metal, d is from zero to 4, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical, (m+2d+3+na) is equal or to greater than 3, (m+d) is greater than zero, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration. The MMOH forms an adduct with, an coats, the microbes, thereby deactivating the microbes.
Abstract:
Disclosed is complex tolylene polyurea-thickened grease containing less than 7 parts per million 2,4-diaminotoluene and a process for making said grease comprising reacting an isocyanate, a polyamine and monoamine with a major portion of a lubricating oil and thereafter adding an alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide and a carboxylic acid anhydride containing 2 to 20 carbon atoms to said mixture and thereafter milling said mixture to the consistency of grease.
Abstract:
Acicular, crystalline calcium metaphosphate having a length to average diameter ratio of at least 10:1 can be prepared by forming a melt of materials used as a source of calcium, phosphorus and alkali metal, cooling the melt to about 550.degree. C. to about 970.degree. C., inducing acicular crystal formation, and recovering the acicular crystals. The diameters of the resultant acicular, crystalline calcium metaphosphates can average as small as 0.5 micron or smaller. Acicular, crystalline calcium metaphosphate can also be prepared with an average diameter of several microns and a length of several centimeters. Such acicular, crystalline calcium metaphosphates are useful in a number of applications, and particularly to prepare composites with organic polymeric materials.
