Abstract:
The zinc burn experienced during the processing of a composition comprising a halogen-containing polymer and a zinc mercaptoester is eliminated by the addition of an organothio compound selected from dithioglycol, polyformals and polyacetals of said dithioglycol, and a mercaptoalkanol.
Abstract:
An atomized fluid, such as a mist of water, is applied to a preheated substrate, such as wood, a wood product, paper, or ceramic just prior to or contemporaneously with electrostatically applying a coating powder to the substrate. The atomized fluid is absorbed or adsorbed by the substrate so as to enhance the charge-carrying capacity of the substrate to an extent necessary to promote efficient electrostatic application of the coating powder to the substrate.

Abstract:
A thermoplastic resin containing a flame-retarding magnesium hydroxide has its workability enhanced by a sorbitan ester in admixture with the resin and flame retardant. An admixture of the resin, magnesium hydroxide, and ester may be either a mixture of discrete particles of each of said components of the composition or a mixture of the resin and a magnesium hydroxide powder whose particles have a coating of the ester.

Abstract:
A water soluble dicarboxylic acid or an alkali metal salt thereof acts as a mold release agent for salt pellets when a salt-contacting surface of a roll-type briquetting press is coated with from about 0.02 to about 5 mg/cm.sup.2 of a powder of the acid or alkali metal salt just prior to a charge of salt. The coating is achieved by spraying an air stream entraining the powder onto the press rolls or by spraying a solution of the release agent onto the rolls and evaporating the solvent to leave the powder on the rolls. The acid has from 6 to 10 carbon atoms; adipic acid being preferred. Salt pellets having a layer of the powder on their surface may be used in water softening systems wherein the pellets sit in a brine reservoir and supply salt for the recharging of an ion exchange resin. There is no formation of an unsightly scum on the surface of the brine and on the sides of the reservoir.
Abstract:
As a means of providing a patterned coating on a substrate, either decorative or functional, coating powder is applied to a substrate. Then the coating powder is fused or fused and cured in selected portions by computer-guided laser. One application of the invention is to fuse coating powder into a resist pattern for the production of printed circuitry.

A polyurethane prepared from a functionalized polyol has superior hydrolytic stability and dispersive capacity which makes it useful as a binder for magnetic particles in a magnetic recording medium. The functionalized polyol may be one of the group consisting of a polyesterdiol, a polyetherdiol, a polycaprolactone diol and a polycarbonate diol, each of which incorporates a functional group having the formula: ##STR1## wherein M is a methylene group or nitrogen, R and R.sup.1 are the same or different alkylene groups having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is an alkylene group having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are the same or different alkyl groups having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms, and X is an anion of a Br.o slashed.nsted acidin an amount such that the polyurethane contains from about 8 to about 32 gram moles of the functional group per 1.times.10.sup.6 grams of the polyurethane. The polyurethane may be made by heating a mixture of a Br.o slashed.nsted acid salt of a carboxylic acid terminated aminoester, a stoichiometric excess of a glycol, and a dicarboxylic acid to make a functionalized polyesterdiol and curing a mixture of said polyesterdiol and a diisocyanate.
