Repulpable Wax

United States Patent 6,811,824

Hassan , et al. November 2, 2004 Includes an original and divisional U.S. filing; PCT filing; and filings in Europe , Japan and Canada .

Waxes prepared from hydrogenated plant oils, such as palm and soybean, are used to render cellulosic materials resistant to water. Unlike cellulosic materials rendered water resistant with waxes obtained using petroleum-derived or synthetic waxes, the water resistant cellulosic materials prepared using this composition are recyclable using conventional paper recycling methods; the composition is dispersible in warm water solutions. Such water resistant materials are characterized by enhanced moisture barrier properties. The compositions have a low iodine value (between 2-5), and melting points between approximately 120-165 degrees F. (Mettler Drop Point). The wax comprises a triglyceride whose fatty acids are predominantly stearic acid (C.sub.18). The composition is used as an additive in the manufacture of wax coated boxes and adhesive compounds used in boxboard packaging and manufacturing operations

Novel wax for hot melt adhesive applications

United States Patent 6890982

Borsinger, Gregory ; et al. December 11, 2003

Waxes prepared from hydrogenated plant oils, such as palm and soybean, are used as substitutes for petroleum derived waxes in hot-melt adhesive compositions. Unlike petroleum-derived or synthetic waxes, adhesive compositions comprising these waxes, which are obtained from naturally derived, renewable resources, achieve adhesion performance similar to conventional adhesives containing petroleum-derived waxes. The inventive waxes have a low iodine value (between 2-5), and melting points between approximately 120-165 degrees F. (Mettler Drop Point). These waxes comprise a triglyceride whose fatty acids are predominantly stearic acid (C.sub.18). The naturally derived waxes are used as an alternative to petroleum and synthetically derived waxes in the manufacture of adhesives used to bond paper, wood, glass, plastic and metal in a variety of manufacturing operations.

Preparation of catalyst and use for high yield conversion of methane to ethylene

United States Patent Application 20040220053

Bagherzadeh, Ebrahim ; et al. November 4, 2004

A perovskite catalyst is prepared using a ceramic sol-sol methodology comprising preparing slurry in water of an alkaline earth metal salt, a powdered metal salt and a powdered transition metal oxide, adding a polymeric binder to form a paste, drying and comminuting the paste into a powder and heating the powder with a temperature profile to calcination temperatures. In one embodiment the slurry is formed of titanium oxide with barium carbonate and tin chloride in deionized water, and more specifically by a mixture according to Ba (1-0.05x)+TiO2+SnCl2(0.05x) where x is in moles. The perovskite catalyst is preferably used in a process for oxidative coupling of methane. Catalyst performance is enhanced through the addition of halides to the feed gas in the reaction.

Novel multifunctional polymer for use in hot melt adhesive applications

United States Patent Application 20040236002

Hassan, Aziz ; et al. November 25, 2004

Adhesives comprising one or more tackifiers and an ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer produced using either a single metallocene or dual metallocene catalyst system were formulated, and have adhesive characteristics over a broad temperature range. The inventive hot melt adhesive compositions ("HMAs") have properties comparable to those of commercially available, three component HMAs comprising ethylene vinyl acetate polymers, tackifier and wax. HMA embodiments include those wherein the ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymers comprise ethylene and either 1-octene or propylene as copolymers.

Waxes prepared from hydrogenated plant oils, such as palm and soybean, are used to render gypsum board resistant to water. Unlike petroleum-derived waxes used for the same purpose, vegetable derived waxes are renewable and readily converted into forms such as emulsions or powder that facilitate incorporation into gypsum board manufacturing. Such water resistant materials are characterized by enhanced moisture barrier properties. The compositions have a low iodine value (between 2-5), and melting points between approximately 120-185 degrees F (Mettler Drop Point). The wax comprises a triglyceride whose fatty acids are predominantly stearic acid (C18).. The composition is used as an additive in the manufacture of water resistant gypsum board.

Novel wax for reducing mar and abrasion in inks and coatings

Filed 10/2004 - USPTO Publication 20050131103

The present invention is a powdered vegetable wax prepared from hydrogenated plant oils, such as castor and soybean. These waxes are used as additives in ink and paper coating formulations, wherein they impart anti-mar, anti-rub, or anti-slip ink properties to the ink or coating. These waxes protect printed and coated articles against abrasion smearing and smudging while maintaining slip properties when the ink or coating is subjected to marring forces that might occur during shipping, or handling of a coated or printed article.

Novel wax emulsion coating applications.

Filed 2/2003 - Publication info: WO2004083310 - 2004-09-30

Emulsions prepared using a wax derived from vegetable sources are used in a variety of applications, such as to coat fibrous cellulosic products, such as paper and wood, to render them moisture-resistant, and could be used with gypsum sheet goods. These emulsions are used as fruit coatings to improve moisture resistance. The emulsions comprise water, the vegetable wax and a surface-active agent. The vegetable waxes, derived from sources such as castor oil, palm or soybeans, comprise triglycerides with a melting point ranging about 136-200 degrees F. The solids content of the emulsions can be as high as 45% solids, based on the total weight of the emulsion.
