The present invention relates to precursor coating compositions containing water and at least one organic solvent which are particularly suitable for being admixed with at least one supercritical fluid used as a viscosity reduction diluent and then spraying this resultant liquid mixture of supercritical fluid and precursor coating composition onto a substrate to be coated. Processes for spraying this precursor mixture are also disclosed.

Precursor coating compositions containing water and an organic coupling

The present invention is directed to methods for spraying water-borne coating compositions having at least about thirty five percent by weight of the solvent fraction by using compressed fluids such as carbon dioxide and ethane, so as to decrease runs, sags and drying time in the application of coatings.

Methods for the spray application of water-borne coatings with

Methods are presented by which polymeric compositions, such as coating compositions, can be sprayed with compressed fluids, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or ethane, at higher solids levels and with finer atomization to give improved spray application quality with reduced emission of solvent.

Method for spraying polymeric compositions with reduced solvent emission

A process for the production of an aldehyde at high selectivity and rate by the reaction of an inorganic or organic ester with carbon monoxide or synthesis gas in contact with a catalyst system containing cobalt, rhodium or ruthenium atoms and lithium iodide and, optionally, an organic ligand.

Acetaldehyde process

A process for the production of an aldehyde at high selectivity and rate by the reaction of an organic ester with carbon monoxide or synthesis gas in contact with a catalyst system containing rhodium atoms and cobalt atoms and lithium iodide or lithium bromide and, optionally, an organic ligand.
