Patent GB-385344-A (GB)
Title: A process of producing resin emulsions
IPC: D21H17/62
Filed: 1931-08-06
Abstract: Stable aqueous emulsions of resin, employable for dressing fabrics, waterproofing, saponification without heat, or as adhesives or coating composition, are prepared by melting resin with a melting-point lowering substance, emulsifying the mixture in water, preferably with the aid of an emulsifying agent such as soap, or a kneaded mixture of casein swelled with ammonia or alkali and resin or other soap, and homogenizing the emulsion by forcing it through narrow apertures of the order of 0,01 mm. Examples of melting point lowering substances are paraffin and other mineral oils, tar oils, fatty oils such as olive oil, low melting point waxes such as Montan wax, high boiling point turpentine oil and alcohols such as yarmor pine oil of boiling point 206-222 DEG  C. and oleine alcohol, esters such as butyl oleate or ethyl stearate.  Examples: (1) 700 parts of resin are melted with 200 parts of high boiling point turpentine oil and the mixture stirred with 28 parts of casein-soap in 1000 parts of water and homogenized; (2) substances are used as in (1) in the following proportions, resin 320, montan wax 180, turpentine oil 50, emulsifier 50, water 1600, and the emulsion homogenized at 120 atmospheres pressure.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 refers to the treatment before emulsification with melting-point lowering substances of wax, tar, bitumen, asphalt, or mixtures thereof with each other or with resin, in addition to resin itself, and gives bile acids as a further example of a treating agent.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 140,147 and 155,398, [both in Class 95, Paints &c.].ALSO:Stable aqueous emulsions of resin employable for dressing fabrics, or as adhesives, are prepared by melting resin with a melting-point lowering substance, emulsifying the mixture in water, preferably with the aid of an emulsifying agent such as soap, or a kneaded mixture of casein swelled with ammonia or alkali and resin or other soap, and homogenizing the emulsion by forcing it through narrow apertures of the order of 0,01 mm.
