Self-Dispersing Waxes As Polymer Suspension Aids

View page
US Patent:
7388046, Jun 17, 2008
Filed:
Apr 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/406778
Inventors:
Thomas J. Martin - Bixby OK, US
William P. Cottom - Mounds OK, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
C08K 5/05
B05D 5/08
US Classification:
524379, 524386, 524275, 524276, 524277, 524270, 523175
Abstract:
Polymer particles of ultrahigh molecular weight poly(alpha-olefins) may be made stable toward agglomeration by suspension within a co-suspension of self-dispersing waxes. This combination prevents polymer agglomeration over time while maintaining good flowability properties. Such materials, ultimately used as pipeline additives to reduce the fluid drag and increase the volumetric throughput, may be shipped and stored for extended periods of time without irreversible loss of the suspension stability.

Toners And Inks Prepared Using Polyolefin Waxes

View page
US Patent:
20050130054, Jun 16, 2005
Filed:
Nov 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/992323
Inventors:
Xiaoying Yuan - Houston TX, US
Paul Hanna - Sugar Land TX, US
John Shelley - Sapulpa OK, US
William Cottom - Mounds OK, US
David Truong - Stafford TX, US
Tom Clark - Myakka City FL, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G009/08
US Classification:
430108800
Abstract:
Disclosed are wax based inks for phase change/hot melt inkjet printing or thermal transfer printing applications. Also disclosed are waxes useful for toners for use in electrostatographic printing applications. Both materials are prepared using a wax having a narrow melting range. The narrow melting range of the wax reduces energy requirements in printing applications. The use of the waxes also promotes release for high speed printing and especially promotes fast drying in wax based ink applications.

International Classification:
C08K 501
US Classification:
524270
Abstract:
A composition is provided which, when added to an elastomer or tackifier, renders a repulpable hot melt adhesive. The compositions consists of an alkoxylated alcohol of the formula A-B (I) wherein A is the unit ##STR1## and B is the unit ##STR2## and further wherein R and R. sub. 1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 10 alkyl group; R. sub. 2 is hydrogen or a C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 5 alkyl group; x is between about 1 to about 142; and y is between about 2 to about 817, provided the weight ratio of B/A+B is between 51 and 90 percent. Such adhesive compositions may further contain wax or a primary linear polymeric alcohol. When combined with an elastomer and tackifier, such adhesives are repulpable and thus have particular applicability when used in combination with recyclable paper.

Process For Making Gray Expanded Polystyrene

View page
US Patent:
20190112447, Apr 18, 2019
Filed:
Oct 18, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/787083
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
HAKIM HAZAIMEH - Richmond TX, US
WILLIAM COTTOM - Richmond TX, US
JEFF BROOKS - OWASSO OK, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes, a GE Company, LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
C08K 3/04
C08F 12/08
C08F 2/18
C08L 25/06
Abstract:
Gray expanded polystyrene achieving target molecular weight, bead size, bead distribution, and cell structure may be reproducibly prepared by suspension polymerization by introducing to the suspension polymerization an additive that is carbon black and/or graphite only after approximately 20 to 60 wt % of the styrene monomer has been converted to polystyrene. Introducing the additive at this point slows the polymerization rate, such as for an optimized period of time to allow for the droplet size to equilibrate to the desired target range. In one nonlimiting embodiment, the styrene polymerization rate has about 35 wt % to about 60 wt % styrene monomer remaining after about 3 hours from the beginning of polymerizing.
