IPC: C08L23/16
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1333503 Olefin copolymer rubber compositions E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO 19 April 1971 [8 April 1970 15 May 1970] 26488/71 Heading C3P Liquid adhesive compositions comprise (A) water, (B), in solution in (A), a phenolic resin component selected from (B1) a mixture of a phenol and a water soluble aldehyde in proportions to form a heat-hardenable phenolaldehyde resin and (B2) a heat-hardenable phenol-aldehyde resin made from a mixture as defined in (B1), (C), dispersed in (A) as particles of a latex, an elastomer selected from elastomeric copolymers of ethylene and a dione, elastomeric terpolymers of ethylene, propylene and a dione and blends of any of these, and (D) dispersed in (A), a reinforcing carbon black in an amount such that the weight ratio D: C is in the range 23 : 77 to 38 : 62. The weight ratio of C : B is preferably 50 : 50 to 91 : 9. Component B is preferably a mixture of resorcinol and formaldehyde or the resin formed therefrom. Component C is preferably an ethylene/1,4-hexadione copolymer or a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and 1,4-hexadiene or 5-ethylidene-2- norbornene. The compositions are prepared by dry milling elastomer (C) with the reinforcing carbon, mixing the obtained blend with an organic solvent for the elastomer until the elastomer is in solution and a liquid composition is formed, forming an emulsion by mixing the liquid composition with water containing an emulsifying agent, removing the solvent from the emulsion and mixing the resulting latex with component (B). The dry blending of the carbon black may be replaced by a liquid blending by mixing an aqueous dispersion of the carbon black with a latex of the polymer. Adjuvants include curing, colouring and antifreeze agents and stabilizers. Alkaline pH values are obtained by adding metal hydroxides. The compositions are used as an adhesive for tyre cords and fabrics made of nylon, rayon, polyesters, glass and steel.

The bag 22 is situated in an elongate housing 14 which encloses a manifold 30 connected to the gas source 34 and manifold distributer tubes 36 (Fig. 1, not shown) the housing having an ambient air inlet 18 opposite the bag. Staggered bores 40a, 40b, 40c in the tubes 26 are fitted with nozzles (38a, 38b, 38c) (Fig. 3, not shown) of which nozzles (38a) (38c) are upwardly and downwardly directed respectively. During inflation of the bag the jet stream from the nozzles sucks air through inlet 18. The inlet 18 has a permeable cover 44 and check valve flaps 52, 54 this arrangement preventing air from entering during initial inflation when an initial back pressure occurs. The flaps may define a vent opening to allow air to pass outwardly when the passenger collides with the bag to prevent rebound.

Abstract: 1,187,307. Resin-impregnated paper laminates. STERLING MOULDING MATERIALS Ltd. 5 June, 1968 [8 June, 1967], No. 26597/67. Heading B5N. [Also in Divisions C2 and C3] Paper plies to be laminated are impregnated with phenolic resins which are produced by condensing together under alkaline conditions a phenol, a styrenated phenol and an aldehyde, the styrenated phenol being substantially free of ionic materials and the weight of the styrenated phenol being 5-20% of the combined weight of the phenol and styrenated phenol. The styrenated phenol may be prepared from 100 parts of phenol or cresol and 50-300 parts of styrene or alpha-methylstyrene in the presence of 0À1-1% of a Lewis acid catalyst, e.g. p-toluene sulphonic acid. The product may then be washed with soda ash solution to remove the catalyst. The styrenated phenol and the phenol, e.g. phenol itself, are added to a reaction vessel before the aldehyde, e.g. formalin, and catalyst, e.g. aqueous ammonia or hexamethylene tetramine, at least 1 mole of aldehyde being used per mole of phenolic material. The reaction may be carried out at pH 7 to pH 10 initially under reflux at atmospheric pressure and later under reduced pressure. After reaction it is desirable that no alkali remains and so if the alkali is not volatile it is neutralized and washed out. The resin may then be mixed with a conventional phenolformaldehyde resin or reacted with further phenol and formalin and a varnish may be prepared from this product by diluting it, e.g. with MeOH, to a viscosity of 30-60 cp. Sheets of fibrous material, e.g. sheets of kraft paper pre-impregnated with a low M.W. phenolic resin, may be impregnated with 45-65% of varnish, dried to 2À5-5À0% volatiles, and laminated at 130-180 C/1000 p.s.i.

The central element 101 comprises two flanges having projections 105 and is supported by arms 118, from the eccentrics 117. The outer elements 106 have projections 108 similar to projections 105, are connected by bolts 114 and are supported by the eccentrics 119 which are 180 degrees out of phase with the eccentrics 117. A stationary support 121 for articles 102 is provided between the flanges of the element 101 and the articles are laterally located by guides 122. In operation, the articles remain on the support 121 but, due to the circular and relative movement of the elements 101, 106 are urged from left to right in Fig. 1. Clearance between the articles and the projections 105, 108 permits the articles to rotate. Means 128 may periodically change the speed of the drive to the eccentrics 116, 117.
