The multi-stage aqueous emulsion polymer includes (i) a first polymer including at least one nonionic copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, from 0.5% to 7% of a copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated ionic monomer, based on the weight of the first polymer, and from 0% to 1.0%, based on the weight of the first polymer, of a copolymerized multi-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the first polymer having a Tg of 15° C. to 105° C.; and (ii) a second polymer comprising at least one nonionic copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, from 0% to 2% of a copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated ionic monomer, and from 0.25% to 6%, based on the weight of the second polymer, copolymerized multi-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the second polymer having a Tg of −55° C. to 30° C., the second polymer having a different composition than the first copolymer, and the second polymer being from 25% to 75% of the total weight of the first polymer and the second polymer, based on dry polymer weights.
Abstract:
A process for preparing multi-stage emulsion polymers is provided. The process is capable of producing multi-stage emulsion polymers having low dry-bulk density. These polymers are useful in coating compositions such as paints and paper coatings.
Abstract:
This invention is a new aqueous paint composition, and its object is to provide a quick-drying paint composition that has a low sensitivity to temperature and has a high rubber elasticity. An aqueous paint composition, comprising (1) a latex which is a film-forming latex polymer having anionic property, where the solubility of the monomers to form the polymer, excluding the monomers that show anionic property, is 0.01-1.50 g per 100 g of water, (2) a water-soluble or water dispersible polymer formed from a monomer mixture containing at least 20 weight % of amine functional group-containing monomer, and (3) an amount of volatile base sufficient to raise the pH of the composition to a sufficiently high level to bring essentially all amine functional groups to a nonionic state.
Abstract:
An improved jet dyeing machine is provided in which the jet circulation is arranged for extremely low impingement of the treating liquor on the fabric so that fabric composed of low twist spun yarns are handled at particularly good advantage, while excellent operating results are obtained as well with the considerable range of other fabrics that have heretofore been successfully handled by jet processing. The treating liquor circulation arrangement additionally provides for diversion of a major portion of the treating liquor being circulated so that foam generation is minimized and circulation performance is improved.

Abstract:
This invention relates to processes for catalytically oxidizing organic compounds (for example methane, ethane, propylene and carbon monoxide) catalytically reducing oxides of nitrogen with a reducing fuel and the production of methane by the steam reforming of naphtha and naphtha distillates. In particular the invention relates to a process for the oxidation of carbon monoxide or a hydrocarbon present in an oxygen-containing gas stream to carbon dioxide and water.In particular the invention relates to a process for the oxidation of carbon monoxide or a hydrocarbon present in an oxygen-containing gas stream to carbon dioxide and water, the process comprising passing the said gas stream at an elevated temperature through a supported catalyst consisting essentially of an inert material, an intermediate coating thereon containing at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of the oxides of scandium, yttrium and the lanthanides and a catalytically active surface coating on said intermediate coating of an alloy selected from the group consisting of (1) platinum/rhodium alloys wherein the rhodium constitutes 1-50 weight % of the total metal content of the alloy and the platinum the balance; and (2) platinum/rhodium/base metal alloys wherein the rhodium constitutes 1-50 weight % of the total metal content of the alloy, the base metal from 0.01 to 25 weight % of the said total metal content and the platinum the balance, the base metal being selected from the group consisting of aluminium, magnesium, bromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, titanium, vanadium, thorium, uranium, copper, silver, zinc, cadmium, mercury, indium, thallium, bismuth, tin, lead, antimony, the lanthanides and the actinides.
