Abstract:
Aqueous sealant compositions wherein the thickening agent is a polymer containing repeating units derived from the ammonium salt of acrylic or methacrylic acid adhere well to coated metal substrates. Following evaporation of the aqueous phase the sealant exhibits a unique ability to swell when in contact with the liquid contents of a closed container, thereby ensuring that an impervious seal will be maintained at the seams of the container.

Abstract:
Antimony containing flame retardant compositions are provided for resins having reduced antimony content simultaneous with enhanced flame retarding efficiency, and consisting of sodium antimonate the particle size of which is within the range of between about 0.1-8 microns. In addition, an enhanced sodium antimonate flame retardant composition is provided by neutralizing the above noted sodium antimonate composition in the presence of an acid to a pH within the range of between about 6.8 and 7. Also provided are resins having improved flame retarding characteristics while simultaneously having improved color stability including reduced yellowness indices and sustained clarity.
Abstract:
Sodium antimonate particles wherein 40% or more of the particles are less than 1 micron in diameter and the range of particle diameters is between 0.1 to 8 microns impart an enhanced degree of flame retardancy to synthetic organic polymer compositions containing a halogen source. The flame retardancy is further improved if any alkaline impurities are removed by treating the particles with acidic reagents as required until the aqueous phase of a slurry prepared using distilled water and containing 10% by weight of the particles exhibits a pH of between 6.8 and 7.
