Appl. No.:

11/576052

Inventors:

Stephen D. Horton - Avon Lake OH, US

Assignee:

PolyOne Corporation - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

H01B 1/12

US Classification:

Abstract:

A cathodic protection coating is disclosed that unexpectedly protects a treated metal substrate, notwithstanding the presence of a phosphate-containing conversion coating between the metal substrate and the cathodic protection compound. The cathodic protection coating includes sacrificial metallic particles less noble than metal in the metal substrate to be protected. The coating also includes inherently conductive polymer.

B05D 3/12

US Classification:

252500, 252503, 252512, 427327, 427328

Abstract:

A cathodic protection compound is disclosed. The coating includes sacrificial metallic particles less noble than metal in the metal substrate to be protected. The coating also includes inherently conductive polymer in an amount of less than 1 weight percent of total solids of the coating. A concentrate of the metallic particles and inherently conductive polymer can also be prepared.

Filed:

Nov 21, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/744016

Inventors:

Stephen D. Horton - Avon Lake OH, US

Assignee:

PolyOne Corporation - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

C08K 3/34

US Classification:

524446, 524436, 524437, 524445

Abstract:

A non-halogenated elastomeric latex is disclosed, using as flame retardants, an aqueous dispersion of organoclay and a conventional non-halogenated flame retardant, of which less is needed than conventionally, because of the use of the organoclay. The latex can become a film, sheet, or other article.

International Classification:

C08K 5/15

US Classification:

524114, 502340, 502342, 502350, 549514, 549539

Abstract:

An unhindered polyol is used to react with an epoxidized soyate to make epoxidized soyate diester in the presence of a catalyst. The unhindered polyol can be 1,3-propanediol or any polyol having four or more carbon atoms with no two adjacent carbon atoms having hydroxyl functionality. Preferably, a combination of catalysts is used to promote the transesterification reaction of the epoxidized soyate with the unhindered polyol to yield a high percentage of epoxidized soyate diester with epoxy functionality retained. The primary catalyst is a metallic hydroxide, and the secondary catalyst is a titanate. Bioderived epoxidized soyate diester plasticizers useful for thermoplastics and thermosets result.

Assignee:

POLYONE CORPORATION - Avon Lake OH

International Classification:

C08L 75/04

US Classification:

524507, 524589

Abstract:

A low profile connector assembly comprises at least one contact having a surface mount portion and a wire engagement portion extending from the surface mount portion, and a housing insertable over the at least one contact and retained to the at least one contact. The housing encloses the wire engagement portion and has a wire receiving aperture therethrough. The wire receiving aperture provides access to the wire engagement portion when the housing is retained to the contact.
