Liquid, non-polymeric, autoxidizable fatty acid esters of polyols comprising 3.5-4.5 fatty acid residues and 0.8-1.4 acrylyl or methacrylyl residues per mol, with acid values of 45-75 mgm KOH per gm and molecular weight of 1500-3000 are disclosed. Their use as film-forming constituents of high solids paints is described.

A varnish composition comprising the components tung oil, pine tar, turpentine oil, tin and lead oxide, preferably within certain ranges of proportions.

Novel high-melting wax compositions are prepared by heat-curing a mixture of petroleum wax, an olefin-vinyl ester copolymer and an aluminum polyalkoxide. Novel coating methods utilizing the new wax compositions are also disclosed.

Laminating wax of high adhesive characteristics especially useful in the production of intercalated products is obtained from telomer resulting from a telomerization employing pseudocumene as the telogen and ethylene as the taxogen, the reaction producing said telomer being hereinafter referred to as the telomerization of ethylene on pseudocumene.

A method of enhancing water resistance of composites uses a water repellant material which may be applied toward and other fibrous vegetable materials. The method begins with a saturated vegetable or animal fat triglyceride having a low iodine value. The triglyceride is rendered in a form which may be a fine powder, an emulsion, or a dispersion in a liquid. The sprayable triglyceride and a bonding agent are applied to the fibrous materials, preparatory to a press binding. There, the sprayed mate...

The invention relates to air-drying and finishing coats for wood for exterior and interior finishes, comprising the so-called nonvolatile matter, which represents an intimate mixture of modified natural oils, pigments, extenders and small proportions of varnish additives, and a low-boiling petroleum hydrocarbon, which is suitable as a solvent and is present in an amount of .ltoreq.15% by weight, based on the total amount. An air-drying stain for exterior finishes is to be provided, with which a ...

Composition and process for preparing darkened headlap, the composition having base granules treated with a suspension containing: a hydrocarbon oil or a hydrocarbon/drying oil mixture; carbon black; and an organosilicon compound of formula I wherein R is a large organic group, such as a long-chain alkyl group, R' is lower alkyl of 1-6 carbons, and n is 1-3, or a siloxane polymer of two or more silane units.

A binder composition for preparing an air drying lacquer, comprising a binder in combination with an organoaluminum compound, the binder being an ester reaction product of an unsaturated, monobasic, aliphatic carboxylic acid having 16-24 carbon atoms or a mixture thereof, optionally with other acids, and a polyhydric alcohol having 6-8 hydroxyl groups. The invention also refers to an air drying lacquer free from solvents comprising said binder composition, siccative, and optionally pigments and ...

Compositions of universal adhesion are provided comprising (I) petroleum wax reinforced with ethylene/olefin copolymer reinforcing resin and (II) an adhesion promoting system consisting essentially of (a) a polar polymeric additive such as copolymers of ethylene with vinyl esters, acrylates and unsaturated carboxylic acids or acid derivatives and (b) a tackifying resin such as wood rosin or its derivatives.

A process uses a water repellant material in order to enhance the water resistance of composite. The process begins with a saturated vegetable or animal fat triglyceride having a low iodine value. The triglyceride is melted to form a sprayable liquid. The sprayable triglyceride and a bonding agent are applied to the fibrous materials, preparatory to a press binding. Then, the sprayed fibrous material is subjected to a hot press cycle in order to form a bonded fibrous composition. The low Iodine ...
