A process for producing zeolite aggregates involves providing a formable paste composed of zeolite, a binder composed of an organic/metal oxide containing aluminum, a peptizing agent and water; forming the paste into an aggregate, preferably by extruding into an extrudate; curing the aggregate; hydro-thermally calcining the aggregate; and washing the hydro-thermally calcined aggregate with a washing medium, preferably followed by rinsing with a rinsing medium to remove residual washing medium from the aggregate. The washed and rinsed aggregate may then be permitted to equilibrate or is subjected to a drying procedure. Preferably, the washed and rinsed aggregate is again subjected to curing/hydro-thermal calcining. The resultant aggregates, such as extrudates, have an exterior surface with openings and interstitial spaces between particles of binder and zeolite which communicate by such openings between the exterior surface of the aggregate and micropores of the zeolite; the aggregates also exhibit characteristics of crush strength greater than about 0.9 pounds per millimeter and a loss by attrition of less than about 3.0%. Regenerable catalysts, such as reforming catalysts, based on such aggregate also exhibit a catalyst activity pass through to the zeolite bound in the aggregate of at least 70% of the initial catalyst activity of freshly prepared zeolite, as well as exhibiting more than about 70% of the reforming benzene yield that the reforming catalyst exhibited when similarly tested prior to being exposed to a hydrocarbon stream under specified reforming conditions of the catalyst activity test procedures.

Disclosed are hot melt adhesives comprising tackifier and a high M.sub.w, narrow MWD, narrow CD ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer(s) and a low M.sub.w, narrow MWD, narrow MWD ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer prepared with either supported or unsupported cyclopentadienyl derivatives of Group IV and catalysts for applications in hot melt adhesives, particularly in automotive product assembly, packaging and food packaging. These ethylene copolymers have a M.sub.w ranging from about 20,000 to about 100,000, an MWD of less than 6 and 3 to 17 mole percent comonomer, and composition distribution breadth index above 70 percent. These ethylene copolymer blends have a M.sub.w ranging from about 20,000 to about 100,000 and an MWD of less than 6. In addition, the copolymer blends have comonomer mole percent ranging from about 3 to about 17.

The invention relates to certain low friction abrasion resistant polymer coatings. The polymer coatings consist of thermoplastic materials based on blends of elastomers with high density polyethylene comprising a high molecular weight component. The appropriate balance of crystallinity, durability and flexibility can be achieved by selecting the proper amount of low, medium and high molecular weight high density polyethylene. The coating is particularly useful for weatherstripping material for automobile window channels.

This invention relates to methods for dispersing Group-VIII and other metals containing zeolites, particularly large pore zeolites.

A class of bound catalysts which exhibit superior activity maintenance in dehydrocyclization reactions are defined as a type L zeolite having exchangeable cations of which at least 75% are selected from Group IA and calcium and barium cations and containing well dispersed particles of at least one Group VIII noble metal where at least 90% of the noble metal thereof is dispersed in the form of particles having a diameter less than 7 .ANG.. The catalysts may also be identified as type L zeolites loaded with at least one Group VIII noble metal which have a terminal cracking index (as a measure of production of pentanes versus butanes from hexane) of at least 1.5.

The present invention is directed to a clear, flexible, coated, biaxially oriented polyester film comprising a polyester film support and a radiation curable silicone coating on at least a portion of the support. The radiation curable silicone coating is derived from a dispersion of colloidal silica in an alcohol-water solution of the partial condensate of specified silanols and multifunctional acrylate monomers and oligomers with optional photoinitiators.
