Abstract: Shaped articles are made by reacting together in a shaping process: (a) a polyaddition product of an amino- and/or hydroxyl group-containing compound having a molecular weight of 600-10,000 and a polyisocyanate and, if desired, a chain lengthening agent having a molecular weight below 600, (b) 1-200% by weight, based on the polyaddition product, of a polyisocyanate having a molecular weight up to 20,000, (c) a graft copolymer consisting of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate containing 25-75% of the latter, 10-80% of the ester groups having been saponified, and on to which has been grafted vinyl and/or vinylidene chloride, the grafted monomers making up 30-90% by weight of the final product and, if desired, (d) a further compound which is reactive with isocyanates.  The use of the following ingredients is described:-polyaddition products: poly - (hexanediol - dimethylpropanediol adipate), poly - (diethylene glycol adipate), poly - (ethylene glycol adipate), poly - (ethylene glycol - butylene glycol adipate), poly - (butylene glycol), poly-(butylene - glycol) - bis - (N,N - methylurethane), an OH-terminated polysiloxane; chain-lengthening agents: butanediol and trimethylolpropane; polyisocyanates: hexamethylene, toluylene and diphenylmethane diisocyanates, biuret triisocyanate, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, tri - (4 - isocyanatophenyl) thiophosphate, the addition product of trimethylolpropane and 2,4-toluylene diisocyanate and the phosgenation product of an aniline-formaldehyde condensate; and graft polymers: products obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride and mixtures thereof with (a) vinyl acetate and monopropyl maleate, and (b) monopropyl and monododecyl maleates in aqueous suspension in the presence of partially saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers.  The components may be mixed on a roller or in a kneader and then thermoplastically formed, or may be dissolved in a solvent and applied to substrates on which the reaction between the components takes place.ALSO:Sheet materials, e.g. textiles, leather, paper and plastics are coated by applying thereto and reacting thereon (a) a polyaddition product of an amino and/or hydroxyl group-containing compound, (b) a polyisocyanate having a molecular weight up to 20,000, (c) a graft copolymer of vinyl and/or vinylidene chloride on a partially saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer and, optionally (d) a further compound reactive with isocyanates (see Division C3).  The coating materials as a solution are applied to the substrates by doctor blades or by spraying.  A plurality of coatings may be applied to the substrates, which, before coating, may be primed, e.g. with an aqueous butadiene copolymer dispersion.  The Examples describe coating nylon fleeces and fabrics, cotton fabric, leather and a polyvinyl chloride foil.

Apparatus for the manufacture of uranium fluoride by the reaction of hydrofluoric acid gas (HF) with uranium oxide (UO 2 ) comprises a furnace and a cooling zone through which the gas and oxide flow in counter-current, the cooling zone being downstream of the furnace in the direction of HF flow and having a temperature which is sufficiently lower than the furnace temperature to ensure the absorption of residual HF gas, and further comprises means for controlling the rate of feed of HF gas to the furnace or the rate of flow of uranium oxide,  in accordance with the uranium oxide entering the cooling zone, to cause the apparatus continuously to produce an optinum yield of uranium fluoride. In a preferred form (Figs. 1-3, not shown) a main vertical furnace is connected to a horizontal extraction furnace, the HF gas being introduced both into the extraction furnace and the base of the vertical furnace, the rate of feed of the gas into the extraction furnace being fixed at a constant value, and the rate of feed into the vertical furnace being determined by the controlling means. Above the vertical furnace there may be disposed an intermediate zone of lower temperature than the vertical furnace, this zone having disposed above it a cooling sleeve constituting the cooling zone, the controlling means being actuated by signals originated by a pyrometer in the end of the sleeve through which the UO 2  is introduced. The vertical furnace may be at 500-600‹ C. the intermediate zone at 400- 500‹ C. and the cooling zone in two steps down to 200‹ C. The apparatus may include a reduction furnace in which granular UO 3  is transformed at 600-700‹ C. under the action of hydrogen and or ammonia, into UO 2  which is fed to the main furnace.

Upon depression of the release member 38, tripping member pivots a few degrees under the action of a driving spring 54 until a leg 76 rests against an edge 78 of the release member. Further depression eventually allows the leg 76 to clear edge 78 and tripping member 40 rotates counter-clockwise, contacts finger 80 attached to shutter member 42 and starts to drive the shutter clockwise about pin 68. The tripping member is stopped by a pin 82, and the shutter member opens and closes and exposure aperture 72 under the control of a return spring 70. Upon release of release member 38, leg 76 slides along a ramp 84 until the release member contacts a further tripping member leg 88 to rotate the tripping member a few degrees clockwise so that leg 76 slips over edge 78 to return the mechanism to its initial condition. The tripping and shutter members are silver plated to reduce contact resistance and are electrically connected to sockets 90, 92 by their respective springs, in addition a conductor 94 is provided.
