A formulation for preparing a cementitious product comprising a cementitious material, a siliceous material, and a low bulk density material being substantially calcium silicate hydrate and including unreacted siliceous reactant. A method of forming a cementitious product comprises adding a cementitious material, a siliceous material and a low bulk density material to water to form a slurry, forming a green shaped article from the slurry and curing the article in an autoclave, wherein the low bu...

The invention concerns the achievement of a deodorancy benefit upon the human body or upon articles worn in close proximity thereto and involves the application of an anti-microbial product comprising a transition metal chelator and a phenolic or enolic compound that is (a) a transferrin dissociation promoter that operates by aiding the reduction of iron(III) bound to transferrin to iron(II) and/or (b) an anti-oxidant comprising a tert-butylphenol group.

A thermosetting polymeric composition useful in preparing protective coatings is disclosed comprising: 1. A. a first polymer containing at least three aliphatic hydroxy groups per molecule and having a weight per hydroxy group of about 50 to 1000; B. a second polymer formed from at least one mol of a low molecular weight alcohol acrylate ester monomer per mol of hydroxy group in said first polymer; 2. a tin-based thermosetting curing catalyst, selected from tin alcoholates, carboxylates, halides...

This invention is directed to producing polymeric binding agents in fibrous form for nonwoven fabrics and for nonwoven fabrics incorporating such polymeric binding agents in fibrous form, the fibrous form polymeric binding agents being obtained by introducing an anionic latex in fine thread-like form into a precipitating aqueous solution of a water-soluble cationic polymer, and thereby forming a fibrous precipitate of the anionic latex in the cationic solution. The nonwoven fabrics produced are ...

Aliphatic 2,4-diunsaturated amides, substituted with a thiol (mercapto) or hydrocarbon thio group, useful for the control of insects.

A package for relatively flat products that is made from a single blank of material, so a single die can cut the product package. The package, when mounted onto the product displays portions of the product enclosed and displays the product without stapling, or taping or using lock tabs for fastening the package together.

Composite adhesive products in roll form are provided by coating a film adhesive onto one side of doublecoated release paper, abrading the other surface of the release paper and partially removing the release coating therefrom, and winding the product in roll form. These products are useful in a process in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is applied to the abraded surface of the release paper, thereby making separation of the release paper from the adhesive easily accomplished during use...

A method of producing a ceramic product comprising the steps of preparing an aqueous slurry of a silica sol with a refractile material comprising a calcium or zirconium silicate, causing the slurry to gel by physical or chemical means to form a solid structure, and drying said structure to form a porous ceramic product. The product has a high green strength which nevertheless increases on heating, and may be used in building applications.

Bacteriophages of food-contaminating or pathogenic bacteria or the lysins thereof are used to kill such bacteria. Examples include lysins from bacteriophages of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium tyrobutyricum. Tests for bacterial contamination can be made specific for specific bacteria by using the appropriate bacteriophage or lysin thereof and determining whether cells are lysed thereby.

This invention relates to a process for the production of 1,1,2,2- and/or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethanes, and in particular to a process for the production of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane.
