The present invention relates to wax formulations comprising a wax constituent a) plus at least one high molecular mass isobutene polymer b) in an amount of from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per part by weight of constituent a).

A low application temperature hot met adhesive composition and its use in carton, case or tray formation comprising from about 5 to about 60 weight percent ethylene vinyl acetate with about 30 to about 50 weight percent VA content and having a melt index of about 700 to about 4,000 dg/min; a tackifier; and wax with a melting point of about 125 to about 180.degree. F.

A modifier material and method for making the same is characterized by the addition of a partitioning agent to a polymer material such as synthetic rubber to prevent reagglomeration of the rubber. The partitioning agent reduces the time required to disperse the modifier material in a material to be modified and also reduces the viscosity of the modified material so that the modified material is easier to handle.

Thermoplastic molding compositions, comprising A) from 15 to 99.94% by weight of a polyoxymethylene homo- or copolymer B) from 0.05 to 10% by weight of a nonpolar polypropylene wax, C) from 0.01 to 5% by weight of at least one ester or amide of saturated or unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids having from 10 to 40 carbon atoms with saturated aliphatic alcohols or amines having from 2 to 40 carbon atoms, D) from 0 to 80% by weight of other additives, where the total of the percentages by weight...

An article of furniture (22) having an opening (62) is configured with a support (20) operable to serve as a glide and as a floor surface protector. The support includes a body (40) having a boss (45) with a plurality of collapsible mounting boss sections (65). The boss sections define an axial passage (80, 90) therebetween and extending through the body. When inserted into the opening in the article of furniture, the edge defining the opening moves the boss sections radially inward relative to ...

A glide assembly is adapted to be removably mounted to the free end of a leg of a piece of furniture. The glide assembly includes a body defining a bore extending partially through the body to define an interior surface and an opened end of the body. An insert is removably mountable about the free end of the leg and disposed within the bore of the body so as to fixedly secure the body about the free end of the leg.

Thermoplastic formulations to manufacture pipe and fluid accessories for home and industrial use comprising a polyvinyl chlorinated thermoplastic compound (CPVC) at a level up to 100 phr, oxidizing agents, polymer promoter agents, and impact modifier agents characterized because it includes a blend of internal and external lubricant agents based on: paraffinic wax selected from paraffinic wax from calcium stearate, polyethylene wax, oxidized polyethylene wax, stearic acid and fatty acid waxes, p...

A slider and method of using the same is provided for facilitating the sliding of a load on a supporting surface. The slider includes a support platform having an upper surface for receiving the load thereon and a lower surface. A plurality of slider elements depend from the lower surface of the support platform. Each slider element has an outer surface engageable with the supporting surface. A lubricating pad extends from the support platform and is engageable with the supporting surface for lu...

A furniture glide is provided for mounting on a terminal end of a furniture leg. The furniture glide includes a slider having an upper surface and a generally arcuate lower surface for engaging a supporting surface. A generally tubular fastener extends from the upper surface of the slider and is receivable in the terminal end of the furniture leg for frictionally connecting the furniture glide to the furniture leg. A spacing element may be positioned on the upper surface of the slider for spacin...

A glide assembly is adapted to be mounted to the free end of a leg of a piece of furniture. The glide assembly includes a body defining an exterior and a bore extending partially through the body to define a hollow interior surface and an open end of the body. An insert is removably mountable about the free end of the leg and adapted to be received through the open end and within the bore of the body so as to fixedly secure the body about the free end of the leg.
