US Classification:

106016000, 162158000, 162175000, 162179000, 106005000

Abstract:

The invention relates to an aqueous sizing composition including (a) an emulsion comprising alkenylsuccinic anhydride component containing alkenylsuccinic anhydride particles suspended in an aqueous polymer, and (b) a second component selected from the group consisting of cationic starches, non-ionic starches, anionic starches, water-soluble polymer, water and mixtures thereof, such that the alkenylsuccinic anhydride component is sufficiently dilute to enable the sizing composition to impart useful sizing properties to a fibrous substrate when the sizing composition contacts the fibrous substrate. The invention also relates to fibrous substrates treated with such a composition as well as processes for making and using the composition. In one embodiment, alkylene ketene dimer can be used instead of alkenylsuccinic anhydride.

US Classification:

252008830

Abstract:

The invention relates to an aqueous sizing composition including: (a) a first component comprising an emulsion having alkenylsuccinic anhydride component containing alkenylsuccinic anhydride particles and a surfactant component; suspended in water; and (b) a second component selected from the group consisting of cationic starches, non-ionic starches, anionic starches, water, water-soluble polymers, and mixtures thereof; such that the alkenylsuccinic anhydride component and the second component are sufficiently diluted to enable the sizing composition to impart useful sizing properties to a fibrous substrate when the sizing composition contacts the fibrous substrate. The invention also relates to fibrous substrates treated with such a composition as well as processes for making and using the composition.

Assignee:

Cytec Technology Corp. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

C08L 500
C08F 216

US Classification:

524 27

Abstract:

Sizing agents comprised of dispersed synthetic polymers in an aqueous solution are provided, as well as methods for making these sizing agents and methods for using these sizing agents to size paper. Improved sizing is obtained by including recurring units of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and/or propyl acrylate in the synthetic polymers.

Assignee:

American Cyanamid Company - Stamford CT

International Classification:

C07C 104

US Classification:

518714

Abstract:

New catalysts comprising molybdenum on supports of defined wide-pore carbons are useful as catalyst for reaction of CO with H. sub. 2 for synthesis of hydrocarbons. Catalysts may be made by depositing Mo(CO). sub. 6 on the carbon support particles by vapor deposition or solution impregnation. The catalyst may also comprise a second metal, such as rhodium or palladium.

International Classification:

C07F 232
C07F 216

US Classification:

524801

Abstract:

A novel method for preparing anionic, cationic or non-ionic polymeric microemulsions comprising a multi-step process to achieve high solids and low emulsifier and oil content. The polymeric microemulsions are useful in papermaking as retention aids, in solid-liquid separation as flocculants and in enhanced oil recovery as a drive fluid.
