The present invention provides a process for producing polyhydroxycarboxylic acids which have a weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 or above and which are excellent as biodegradable plastics by polycondensing hydroxycarboxylic acids or oligomers thereof in the presence of an inorganic solid acid catalyst in combination with an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal.

Process for producing polyhydroxycarboxlic acid

Disclosed is a process for producing a composition for ruminants, which is characterized in that a nucleus containing a physiologically active substance is coated with a coating material prepared by suspending in water (i) an emulsion comprising water and at least one hydrophobic substance hardly soluble in water and (ii) a slurry containing at least one polymer soluble in water of pH 5.0 or below and insoluble in water of pH over 5.0 In the process, an aqueous suspension is used for coating instead of a meterial dissolved in an organic solvent.

Process for producing compositions for ruminants

A polyurethane resin is synthesized from a reaction mixture of at least one phosphorus compound, an epoxy compound, a polyisocyanate, a polyfunctional hydroxy compound, and optionally a chain extender. The polyurethane resin contains one phosphoric acid group or one residual group derived from phosphoric acid per 3,000 to about 200,000 number average molecular weight of the polyurethane resin. The weight average molecular weight of the polyurethane resin is from about 10,000 to about 250,000. A magnetic coating formulation is comprised of principally of magnetic particles and a binder. A magnetic recording media comprises a laminate as in the form of a magnetic layer composed principally of magnetic particles and a binder wherein at least a portion of the binder is the polyurethane resin. The substrate of the magnetic recording medium is a suitable polymer such as polyester, and the like. The utilization of the polyurethane resin containing a phosphorus compound therein results in excellent dispersion of the magnetic particles as well as exceptional durability.

Magnetic coating formulations and magnetic recording media

A magnetic coating formulation is composed principally of magnetic particles and a binder. At least a portion of the binder is a polyurethane resin synthesized from a reactant mixture of specific phosphorus compound, epoxy compound, isocyanate compound and polyfunctional hydroxy compounds. The reactant mixture may optionally contain a chain extender. The polyurethane resin contains one phosphoric acid group or one residual group derived from phosphoric acid per 3,000-200,000 number average molecular weight of the polyurethane resin, and has a number average molecular weight of 4,000-150,000. A magnetic recording medium with a magnetic coating layer formed from the magnetic coating formulation is also disclosed. The magnetic coating layer features not only excellent dispersion of magnetic particles, in other words, excellent magnetic characteristics but also superb durability.

This invention pertains to the polyurethane composition with hydrophilicity and hydrolysis resistance. The purpose of this invention is achieved by:

Polyurethane composition

By coating a solid fertilizer with a coating material comprising an aqueous emulsion of resin as the main component to form a resin film having a glass transition temperature of 60.degree. C. or higher; or by coating a solid fertilizer with a coating material comprising an aqueous emulsion of a thermoplastic resin and a melamine resin, and heating the coated fertilizer at 70.degree. C. or higher; a gradually-effective, coated fertilizer having a distinguished gradual releasability and strong resistance to caking, which have been so far regarded as difficult to be obtained in an aqueous emulsion system, can be prepared.
