This invention provides stabilized biodiesels comprising (1) biodiesel, such as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), (2) mono- or bis-hindered phenolic derived from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, and (3) N,N-di-substituted para-phenylene diamine. Also methods of stabilizing biodiesel are provided involving adding (2) and (3) to (1).

Antioxidant blends suitable for use in biodiesels

This invention relates to a solvent system which is non-flammable and which is comprised of a hydrocarbon solvent having a flash point less than about 38.degree. C. and a second solvent containing at least 90 wt % n-propyl bromide, the second solvent being present in an amount sufficient to obtain no flash point for the solvent system when tested in accordance with ASTM D-93 and the second solvent being the sole halogenated solvent and flash point suppressor in the solvent system.

No flash point solvent system containing normal propyl bromide

This invention relates to non-stabilized or at least only lightly stabilized n-propyl bromide-based solvent systems which are suitable for use in the presence of metals which normally and easily catalyze the dehydrobromination of brominated hydrocarbons, such as isopropyl bromide.

Solvent system

Silicon carbide-coated carbonaceous substrates are overcoated with one or more ceramic layers derived from an organoborosilazane polymer solution containing 0-60% by weight of dispersed ceramic or preceramic powdered solids to seal the silicon carbide coating and provide better resistance to oxidative deterioration at elevated temperatures; the organoborosilazane polymer being the product obtained by reacting about 0.25-20 parts by weight of a trialkoxy-, triaryloxy-, or tri(arylalkoxy)boroxine with one part by weight of a polysilazane in an organic solvent. The thus-coated substrates are optionally overcoated with a buffer layer and then with one or more ceramic layers derived from polysilazane solutions or dispersions.

Silicon carbide coated article with ceramic topcoat

Fiber-reinforced ceramic composites are obtained by the use of a prepreg comprising sized carbon fibers bonded together with a matrix composition which comprises about 25-60% by weight of a polysilazane and about 75-40% by weight of at least two ceramic powders selected from silicon metal, silicon carbide and silicon boride powders.

Ceramic composites

Silane can be adsorbed by KOH on alumina. This discovery can be used to remove silane from other gases, e.g. hydrogen.

Hydrogen stream purification

Preceramic molding compositions capable of forming low density ceramics having acceptable strength and improved wear resistance are compositions having a particle size not larger than about 105 micrometers and comprising an intimate mixture of (A) about 50-90 parts by weight of powder ingredients comprising about 2-50% by weight of graphite powder and about 98-50% by weight of a second powder selected from silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and mixtures thereof and (B) correspondingly, about 50-10 parts by weight of a preceramic polysilazane binder.
