A storage stable aqueous dispersion useful in preparing sizing compositions for glass fibers contains a normally solid nucleating agent, a nonionic surfactant, and a base. The nucleating agent is a mixture of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Also disclosed are the process of making the dispersion, and the use of the sized glass fibers in glass fiber reinforced polyolefin composites having improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and notched and unnotched IZOD.

Aqueous dispersions of nucleating agents

Process for preparing fatty acid zinc salts

A method for increasing the slip of polyolefins and improving the adhesion of water based inks of polyolefins by incorporating into the polyolefin an effective amount of a lactamide having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkenyl having from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms. Optionally, there can be included with the lactamide a finely divided inorganic material. Also disclosed are compositions of matter comprising a polyolefin, such as homopolymers and copolymers of ethylene and propylene, the aforedescribed lactamide and optionally a finely divided inorganic material. Also described is the new compound, N-erucyl lactamide.

Polyolefins/alkenyllactamide composition

A method for reducing the blocking properties of polyolefins by incorporating into the polyolefin an effective amount of a lactamide having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl having from about 14 to about 22 carbon atoms. Optionally, there can be included with the lactamide a finely divided inorganic material. Also disclosed are compositions of matter comprising a polyolefin, such as homopolymers and copolymers of ethylene and propylene, the aforedescribed lactamide and optionally a finely divided inorganic material.

Polyolefin/alkyllactamide composition

A composition of matter comprising a polyolefin and an effective amount of an omega-acetoxy N-substituted carbonamide selected from the group consisting of (1) an N-(omega-acetoxyalkyl) carbonamide of the formula: ##STR1## wherein x is 1 to 6, R is alkenyl or alkyl group of 11 to 23 carbon atoms and (2) an N-alkyl omega-acetoxycarbonamide of the formula: ##STR2## wherein y is 1 to 15, R' is alkenyl group of 12 to 24 carbon atoms.

Omega-acetoxy N-substituted amides and their use in polyolefins

A composition of matter comprising a polyolefin and an effective amount of at least one alkenyl monoamide of a dicarboxylic acid wherein the alkenyl group has from about 12 to about 24 carbon atoms.

Polyolefin composition

A method for improving the printing of polyolefins with water-based inks by incorporating into the polyolefin an effective amount of N-ethanol erucamide or N-ethanol oleamide. Optionally a finely divided inorganic material can be added with the N-ethanol erucamide or N-ethanol oleamide.
