The invention pertains to low profile additives ('LPA') comprising branched polymers having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at least about 20,000 grams/mole and a number average molecular weight (Mn) of at least about 3,000 grams/mole and methods for making the LPAs. The invention further concerns compositions comprising LPAs synthesized from one or more difunctional monomers and one or more branching agents. Also, disclosed are thermosettable resinous compositions and molded articles comprising the LPAs.

Branched low profile additives and methods of production

Formulations comprising an isosorbide-modified unsaturated polyester comprising maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid or maleic anhydride and isosorbide and one or more low profile additives. The formulations exhibit better shrink control in molding compound formulations with standard low profile additives than their non-isosorbide-modified analogues. These isosorbide-modified unsaturated polyester resins may be applied in molding compounds like sheet molding compounds or bulk molding compounds and may be components of fiber reinforced composites or other composite materials.

This invention relates to low-density thermosetting sheet molding compounds (SMC) including a treated inorganic clay, a curative, a low profile agent, a reinforcing agent, and preferably a low-density filler. The thermosetting SMC are used to prepare exterior and structural thermoset articles, e.g. auto parts, panels, etc.

Low-density thermosetting sheet molding compounds

The invention relates to low molecular weight LPA surface quality enhancers derived from C dimer acids capped with a glycol or a polyether polyol. The capped dimer acids are incompatible in the cured matrix of a polyester molding composition.

Dimer acid derivatives as enhancers

This invention is a thermoplastic saturated polyester low profile additive (low profile additive) useful in sheet molding compounds for parts, especially vehicle parts. The additive has a major component derived from aromatic compounds such as terephthalic acid including recycled polyethylene terephthalate. Asymmetrical glycols are an important ingredient and can be used to digest recycled PET to make oligomeric glycols which are reacted with acids having fewer than 12 carbon atoms to make one of the low profile additives of this invention.

The present invention relates to a collapsible chute useful for transporting animals or managing them in the confines of a barn structure. The chute consists of a plurality of mounted rails attached to the wall surface of a trailer or barn. A series of rear hinged panels are pivotal hinged around the fixed rails. The panels include a side gate and a opening gate recessed in respective frames. The front portion includes a headgate for holding confined animals stationary. The panels are pivotal hinged to one another in a configuration that permits them to be alternately secured in an expanded position for confining animals or rotated to a collapsed position when not in use. The chute is held in position to confine animals by locking braces secured to a fixed position rail and the hinged panels. A remote rope assembly permits the user to control the headgate portion. The chute is reversible from one opposing wall surface to another creating mirror images. This is accomplished by reattaching the fixed rails to the opposing wall surface and rotating the remaining portion of the chute 180 degrees then reattaching the headgate.

This invention is the polycapped oligomer adduct of a long chain fatty acid with a multi hydroxy functional or multi epoxy functional compound. This polycapped oligomer is useful in resin compositions to enhance the performance of thermoplastic low profile additives which improve the surface quality of molded composites such as automotive body panels.

Enhancers for thermoplastic low profile additives

Blends of polyol and melamine for use in the manufacture of fire retardant polyurethane foams are stabilized by the addition of diethanolamine, ethanolamine, trihexylamine, or mixtures thereof.

Stable polyol-melamine blend for use in the manufacture of fire

A high density liquid hydrocarbon fuel composition singularly suited for propelling turbojet limited volume missile systems designed for shipborne deployment. The contemplated fuels are basically composed of the saturated analogues of dimers of methyl cyclopentadiene and of dicyclopentadiene and optionally include the saturated analogues of the co-trimers of said dienes or the trimers of cyclopentadiene. The various dimers and trimers are combined in a relative relationship to provide optimal performing fuels for the indicated purpose.

High energy fuel compositions

A high density specialty fuel for propelling limited volume ramjet and turbojet missile systems comprising a blend of at least 70 weight percent of exotetrahydrodicyclopentadiene and a correspondingly minor amount of a combination of a mixture of C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 alkanes and/or cycloalkanes and hydrogenated dimers of norbornadiene.

High density fuel compositions

A method for catalytically isomerizing a mixture of hexacyclic dimers obtained by dimerizing norbornadiene in the presence of a zero valent iron complex whereby the hydrogenated derivatives of the resultant isomerization product exhibits substantially lower freeze point than that associated with the hydrogenated derivatives of said precursor dimer mixture, the latter representing the highest energy liquid hydrocarbon fuel commercially available.
