This invention relates to the manufacture and application of uniquely suitable emulsifiers for anionic bituminous emulsions. In particular, this invention relates to emulsifiers for slow-setting aqueous emulsions suitable for use in applications where a high degree of chemical, mechanical, and rheological stability is required (such as in slurry seal applications and thixotropic industrial emulsion applications). In such applications, fine aggregate, clay, or polymer latex is mixed with the emulsion to obtain a homogenous storage-stable composite which can be applied for coatings, floorings, roofings, and as a roadway sealant.

Slow-setting bituminous emulsions

A process for deodorizing tall oil rosin and tall oil fatty acids and their derivatives by treating same with an ammonium hydroxide solution under conditions of a steam sparge.

Tall oil deodorization process

Certain vegetable oil lipid adducts, either alone or in combination with disproportionated vegetable oils, are disclosed which provide persistent softening effects upon incorporation in skin and hair care preparations. The emollients of the invention include both the water-soluble and water-insoluble salts of the vegetable oil adducts. The certain vegetable oil adducts of the invention are the adducts prepared from vegetable oils containing nonconjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid esters which are conjugated and then modified via Diels-Alder addition with acrylic acid, fumaric acid, or maleic anhydride.
