A formulation which consists essentially of from about 20%, by weight, to about 87%, by weight, zinc oxide, from about 13% to about 80%, by weight of a selected type of acidic pH adjuster, and from about 0% to about 7%, by weight, of trimagnesium phosphate, when incorporated in fluorine-containing toothpaste formulations which also contain at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate and calcium pyrophosphate, yields a smooth paste having a pH of from about 5.5 to about 6.8 which will not corrode the inside of unlined aluminum tubes containing such a formulation. When the components of the formulation are based on the weight of the entire toothpaste formulation, said zinc oxide can be present at from about 0.05% to about 2.0%, the acidic pH adjuster can be present at from about 0.05% to about 3.0%, and the trimagnesium phosphate can be present at from about 0% to about 0.5%.

Anti-corrosion formulation for toothpastes

A method of metallizing materials by coating a substrate material with a hydrophilic composite material; electrolessly metal plating the hydrophilic composite material with a metal to render the surface conductive; followed by electroplating a metal onto the conductive surface. The method can, for example, be utilized to produce metallized foams, embossing plates for reproduction of grains and textures, and decorative coatings for substrate materials.

Electroless metal plated laminates

A method of plating a metallic substrate by coating said substrate with a specific metallic system; plating at least one metal onto the coating; and heating the coated and plated metallic substrate to a temperature that effects a bonding of said metallic substrate to said coating and the plated metal. The method is utilized to plate metals onto metal substrates; including substrates such as aluminum and zinc.

Plated metal article

Metal alkoxides, such as antimony glyoxide, are produced in the anolyte of a compartmented electrochemical cell, characterized by the seperation of the anolyte from the catholyte by an anion-exchange membrane. The anode comprises the sacrifical metal; the cathode is an indifferent material. Monohydric metal alkoxides also can be produced.

Electrochemical process for metal alkoxides

An article comprising: (1) an interpolymer which comprises crosslinked (meth)acrylate, crosslinked styrene-acrylonitrile, and uncrosslinked styrene-acrylonitrile components; and (2) an adherent metallic coating on said interpolymer. The article is useful as a plated component in motor vehicles, for example, as trim, grille work, wheel covers, and the like, or as plated appliance parts or plumbing components.

Method of metallizing materials

A process for recovering elemental phosphorus from sludge formed during the production of phosphorus by the smelting of phosphate rock which comprises subjecting the phosphate sludge to electrolysis, thereby facilitating removal of the elemental phosphorus from the sludge.

Recovery of phosphorus from sludge

The present invention relates to a process of fabric cleaning utilizing a solvent emulsion which effectively combines the dissolving and suspending power of water for hydrophilic substances with the dissolving power of organic compositions for hydrophobic substances. The factor lending economic practicability to the process is the breaking of the emulsion after it has performed its cleaning function whereby only the organic fraction thereof undergoes distillation cleansing.

Method of plating metals

A method of metallizing materials by coating a substrate material with a hydrophilic composite material; chemically plating said hydrophilic composite material with a metal to render the surface conductive; followed by electroplating a metal onto the conductive surface. The method can be, for example, utilized to produce metallized foams, embossing plates for reproduction of grains and textures, and decorative coatings for substrate materials.
