Abstract:
A synergistic antimicrobial composition having two components. The first component is a hydroxymethyl-substituted phosphorus compound. The second component is cis-1-(3-chloroallyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniaadamantane chloride.
Abstract:
The present invention provides one-step processes for the production of chlorinated and/or fluorinated propenes. The processes provide good product yield with low, e.g., less than about 20%, or even less than 10%, concentrations of residues/by-products. Advantageously, the processes may be conducted at low temperatures than 500°C so that energy savings are provided, and/or at higher pressures so that high throughputs may also be realized. The use of catalysts or initiators may provide additional enhancements to conversion rates and selectivity, as may adjustments to the molar ratio of the reactants.
Abstract:
A polyurethane foam, suitable for shoe soles in particular, and a process to prepare it. This polyurethane has a touch that is similar to that of thermoplastic styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber, but offers reduced cost and easy processability. It is prepared from a formulation including a polyether triol with a hydroxyl value of from 25 to 30 and a molecular weight from 5000 to 7000 g/mol; a polyether diol with a hydroxyl value of from 25 to 30 and a molecular weight from 3000 to less than 5000 g/mol; from 2 to 7 wt% of monoethylene glycol, butanediol, hexanediol or neopentyl glycol as a chain extender; a copolymer polyether polyol having a styrene acrylonitrile solids content of at least 30 wt% and an average hydroxyl number of at least 18; an isocyanate component; and a blowing agent that includes water.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include a process for the production of chlorine gas. For the various embodiments, the process includes compressing a gas mixture of vaporized liquid chlorine ( 104 ) and a feed gas containing chlorine ( 102 ) to form a compressed gas. Chlorine in the compressed gas is condensed into liquid chlorine ( 120 ). A first portion of the liquid chlorine is vaporized to provide a heat of condensation to condense chlorine from the compressed gas into liquid chlorine. A second portion of the liquid chlorine ( 126 ) is vaporized to provide both the vaporized liquid chlorine for the gas mixture and a heat of condensation to cool a tail gas ( 122 ) from the process. A chlorine gas product ( 114 ) from the vaporized first portion of the liquid chlorine is also produced.
Abstract:
The present invention provides adiabatic plug flow reactors suitable for the production of chlorinated and/or fluorinated propene and higher alkenes from the reaction of chlorinated and/or fluorinated alkanes and chlorinated and/or fluorinated alkenes. The reactors comprise one or more designs that minimize the production of by-products at a desired conversion.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a halogen-free, flame retardant thermoplastic resin composition based on polypropylene and one or more thermoplastic elastomers with an organic nitrogen- and/or phosphorus-based intumescent flame retardant comprising a piperazine component. The composition is processed easily to make a wire and cable sheath exhibiting a balance of high flame retardancy, good flexibility, high wet electrical resistance and excellent heat deformation properties, and which passes the VW-I flame retardancy test, the UL1581 heat deformation test at 150 °C and the wet electrical resistance test, and also exhibits good tensile and flexibility properties. Also disclosed is a wire and cable sheath made from the composition.
Abstract:
The present invention is premised upon a photovoltaic assembly system for securing and/or aligning at least a plurality of vertically adjacent photovoltaic device assemblies (10) to one another. The securing function being accomplished by a clip member (50) that may be a separate component or integral to one or more of the photovoltaic device assemblies.
Abstract:
Compatibilized blends comprising a first phase comprising a thermoplastic olefin polymer and a second phase comprising a crosslinked, thermoplastic polyurethane are provided. The first phase is a continuous phase and the second phase can be co-5 continuous with the first phase, or dispersed as a non-continuous phase in the first phase. The blends further include a phenolic resole resin which at least partially crosslinks the thermoplastic polyurethane and acts as a compatibilizer for the olefin polymer and the thermoplastic polyurethane.
