A waterborne, soft feeling coating composition and a substrate coated with the composition. The coating composition comprises an aqueous solvent, a resin, and an alcohol alkoxylate surfactant. The invention is also directed to a process of making the waterborne coating composition of the invention, and a process of coating a substrate with the waterborne coating composition.

Waterborne soft-feeling coating composition with high gloss

The present invention relates to a cleaning composition comprising: (a) at least one additive selected from the group consisting of detergents, corrosion inhibitors, organic and aqueous carriers, and combinations thereof, (b) a wetting/cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of piperazine-substituted organosulfonates, piperazinone-substituted organosulfonates, and combinations thereof, and (c) a surfactant selected from the group consisting of alcohol alkoxylates, organic and inorganic salts of polycarboxylated alcohol alkoxylates, and combinations thereof. Also disclosed is an adhesive composition containing the above wetting agent, as well as a method of cleaning a substrate and a method of enhancing adhesion to a substrate using the above wetting agent.

Wetting agents for concrete cleaning and adhesives

A composition and a process are disclosed for imparting durable antimicrobial properties to fibrous materials. The composition contains a leveling surfactant and a water-insoluble antimicrobial compound. In one embodiment, simultaneous dyeing and antimicrobial finishing of a fibrous material is achieved using an aqueous dye bath containing the aforesaid composition.

Biocide plus surfactant for protecting carpets

The present invention relates to a process for producing a gel-free dispersion or solution of copper pyrithione employing at least one surfactant. Also claimed is the dispersion or solution itself, as well as a solid particulate copper pyrithione composition comprising copper pyrithione particles having a particle shape selected from the group consisting of rods, spheres, needles, platelets and combinations thereof, and optionally containing at least a trace amount of a surfactant on the outer surface of at least a portion of said particles.

Process for preparing copper pyrithione

The present invention relates to a concrete-forming composition comprising:

Wetting agents for concrete compositions

The present invention relates to an acid dye-leveling composition that is useful for imparting a dye leveling characteristic to fibers prior to, or during, the fiber dyeing operation. Also described is a process for preparing the dye-leveling composition, as well as a process for using the composition in the dyeing of fibers. The composition is particularly useful for treating polyamide fibers, such as nylon, but is also suitably used in the treatment of silk, wool, and other synthetic and natural fibers. The composition is also useful as a hard surface cleaner, adhesive additive, and a leveling agent for paints.

Low-foaming, enhanced wetting dye-leveling agent

The present invention relates to an acid dye-leveling composition that is useful for imparting a dye-leveling characteristic to fibers, as well as acting as a cleaner for hard surfaces or for fibers. The composition comprises (a) the reaction product of a piperazine compound, a piperazinone compound, an amine compound, or a combination thereof, with an alkyl diphenyl ether sulfonic acid, and (b) an alcohol alkoxylate.

Dye-leveling and cleaning composition containing an aqueous organic

The present invention relates to an acid dye-leveling composition comprising a piperazine substituted organosulfonate that is useful for imparting a dye leveling characteristic to fibers prior to, or during, the fiber dyeing operation. Also described is a process for preparing the dye-leveling composition, as well as a process for using the composition in the dyeing of fibers. The composition is particularly useful for treating polyamide fibers, such as nylon, but is also suitably used in the treatment of silk, wool, and other synthetic and natural fibers.

Enhanced wetting, low-foaming, dye-leveling agent comprising a

A process of making poly(dianhydride) compounds having formulae (I) and (II): ##STR1## where m is 0 to 50. ##STR2## wherein n is 0 to 20 and X is bond junction, oxygen atom, sulfur atom, SO.sub.2, C(CF.sub.3), CO, C(CH.sub.3).sub.2, CF.sub.2 --O--CF.sub.2, CH.sub.2, and CHOH.

Process of making selected poly(dianhydrides) compounds

This invention relates to an improved paint or paint base composition characterized by enhanced biocidal efficacy. The paint or paint base composition is essentially free of tin, lead, and vanadium and contains a biocide comprising pyrithione salt and a copper salt. The pyrithione salt is present in the paint in an amount of between about 5% and about 50%, and the copper salt is present in an amount of between about 5% and about 50%, the total amount of biocide being between about 10% and about 75%, based upon the total weight of the paint composition.

Paint containing high levels of a pyrithione salt plus a copper salt

The present invention relates to a terminal pin for electronic circuitry. The terminal pin includes an axial passageway. Various processes for electrically connecting the pin to the circuit are provided. The processes include riveting, welding and soldering. The axial passageway aids in the control of metal deformation to improve the bond between the pin and the circuitry.
