Disclosed is a composition adapted for use in coating pellets orally administrable to ruminants which protects the core material in the rumen and releases it in the abomasum comprising a film-forming polymeric material, a hydrophobic material dispersed in said polymeric material, and a physiologically acceptable flake material dispersed in said polymeric material, the flake material having been treated by bringing the particles into rubbing contact with the hydrophobic material so that the surface of the particles of flake material become hydrophobic.

Rumen-stable pellets

Disclosed are coating compositions comprising (a) the reaction product of a compound of titanium and a nitrogen-containing polymer, (b) an inert particulate filler material and (c) a water-permeable polymeric binder. These compositions are especially useful as coatings for leguminous seeds.

Seed coatings

Photocrosslinkable, organic-solvent-soluble polymers having a Tg greater than 200.degree. C., are disclosed. The polymer contains sufficient radiation-sensitive crosslinkable units to render the polymer insoluble in organic solvents on exposure to radiation to which the crosslinkable units of the polymer are sensitive.

Photocrosslinkable, high-temperature-resistant polymers and their use in

In an electrically activatable recording element, such as one comprising an electrically conductive support having thereon, in sequence: (a) a polymeric electrically active conductive (EAC) layer, (b) an electrically activatable recording layer comprising (A) a dye-forming coupler, and (B) an oxidation-reduction combination comprising (i) an organic silver salt oxidizing agent, such as a silver salt of a 1,2,4-mercaptotriazole derivative, with (ii) a reducing agent which, in its oxidized form, forms a dye with the dye-forming coupler, (c) a photoconductive layer separated from (b) by an air gap of up to 20 microns, and (d) an electrically conductive layer; improvements are provided by means of a polymeric EAC layer (a) comprising a halogen containing polyester, such as poly(2,2'-oxydiethylene:2,2'-dimethyl 1,3-propylene 50:50-2,5-dibromoterephthalate) and poly(ethylene:2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propylene 50:50-2,5-dibromoterephthalate). The recording element is room light handleable and provides a dye image and silver image by dry development processing.

Polyester interlayers for electrically activatable recording (ear)

Photocross-linkable, organic solvent-soluble polymers having a Tg greater than 200.degree. C. are disclosed.
