Alkyl ether amines are used as foam control compounds in foodstuff processing. The alkyl ether amines can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables, fruits, and plants, such as potatoes and beets. The alkyl ether amines are generally of lower molecular weights and therefore easily transported to the foam layer to break the foam structure. Further, the alkyl ether amines are water soluble and therefore can be readily removed from the food processing system.

Alkyl ether amine foam control compounds and methods of processing foodstuffs

A prepolymer comprising an acid group is made by a process comprising the step of contacting: (i) a di-isocyanate, (ii) a polyol containing an acid group, and (iii) a polyol without an acid group, the contacting conducted under reaction conditions and in a solvent consisting essentially of: (A) a first component consisting essentially of at least one glycol ether ketone, and (B) optionally, a second component consisting of at least one aprotic glycol ether. The prepolymer is useful in the preparation of water-based polyurethane dispersions.

Water-based polyurethane dispersions and their preparation

Disclosed are compositions comprising: a) one or more isocyanate functional components; b) one or more alkoxyalkyl benzoates; and c) one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties with hydroxyl groups. Disclosed is a method of bonding two or more substrates together comprising contacting two or more substrates together with a composition disclosed herein disposed along at least a portion of the area wherein the substrates are in contact. At least one of the substrates may be window glass. One of the other substrates may be a building or a vehicle.

Adhesive useful for installing vehicle windows

The present invention relates to azeotropic blends and pseudoazeotropic blends and to coating compositions including such blends. In one aspect, an azeotropic blend or a pseudoazeotropic blend consists essentially of hexamethyldisiloxane and a second component selected from the following: isobutanol, n-propyl acetate, n-butanol, and 1-methoxy-2-propanol.

Azeotropic and pseudoazeotropic blends

The present invention relates to azeotropic blends and pseudoazeotropic blends and to coating compositions including such blends. In one aspect, an azeotropic blend or a pseudoazeotropic blend consists essentially of octamethyltrisiloxane and a second component selected from the following: amyl acetate, 2-propoxyethanol, 1-methoxy-2-propylacetate, and 1-propoxy-2-propanol.

Recovery times and/or airflow of flexible polyurethane foam is increased by including certain tackifiers in the foam formulation. The tackifiers are characterized in being incompatible with polyol or polyol mixture used to make the foam, having a viscosity of at least 5,000 centipoise at 25 #C and having a glass transition temperature of at most 20 #C. The tackifier is pre-blended with certain monols to form a lower-viscosity blend that is combined with one or more other polyols and a polyisocyanate to form a reaction mixture for producing a polyurethane foam.

Flexible polyurethane foam having prolonged recovery time

A prepolymer comprising acid functionality is made by a process comprising the step of contacting: (i) a di-isocyanate, (ii) a polyol containing an acid group, (iii) a polyol without an acid group, and (iv) a metal salt catalyst, the contacting conducted under reaction conditions and in a solvent consisting essentially of: (A) a dialkyl amide, and (B) optionally, an aprotic glycol ether. The prepolymer is useful in the preparation of water-based polyurethane dispersions, and certain of the solvent blends consisting essentially of a dialkyl amide and an optional aprotic glycol ether are azeotropic or pseudo-azeotropic.

Certain glycol ether diesters have improved lubrication properties.

Oil sands may be surface mined and transported to a treatment area or may be treated directly by means of an in situ process of oil sand deposits that are located too deep for strip mining. A bitumen recovery process may be used to extract bitumen from oil sands. Specifically, the bitumen recover process involves a step of treating oil sands with a propylene oxide capped glycol ether described by the structure:RO&#x2014;(CHO)&#x2014;CHCH(CH)OHwherein R is a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl, phenyl, alkyl phenyl group and n is 1 to 10.

Glycol ether benzoates, glycol benzoates and methyl benzoate facilitate the dyeing of the meta-aramid article, e.g., fibers, at or near neutral pH. The addition of an anionic surfactant, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, enhances the performance of the benzoates.

Formulations having benzoate dye carriers for meta-aramid articles

A coalescent consisting essentially of a residue from a process for forming propyleneglycol phenyl ether, the coalescent consisting essentially of 65%-75% by weight, based on the weight of the residue, dipropyleneglycol phenyl ether, 8%-10% by weight, based on the weight of the coalescent, monopropyleneglycol phenyl ether, 4%-6% by weight, based on the weight of the coalescent, tripropyleneglycol phenyl ether, and 0.1%-10% by weight, based on the weight of the coalescent, alkalinity (reported as NaOH) is provided. Also provided is a method for forming certain low-VOC, low cost, coalesced aqueous polymeric dispersions including, as copolymerized units, from 70% to 100% by weight, based on the solids weight of the aqueous polymeric dispersion, vinyl acetate monomer and an aqueous coating composition including the coalesced aqueous polymeric dispersion.

The hydration of clays and shale in drilling operations may be inhibited by employing an aqueous based drilling fluid comprising a shale hydration inhibition agent having the formula: (Formula I should be inserted here.) wherein R is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbons, Ris an alkylene group having 1 to 12 carbons, and Ris an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbons. The shale hydration inhibition agent should be present in the aqueous based drilling fluid in sufficient concentration to reduce the reactivity, such as swelling, of clays and shale when exposed to water-based drilling fluids.
