| 20090126263 | Preparation of nitrones - A method for producing a nitrone of formula (I) | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090199349 | Treated cellulosic fibers and absorbent articles made from them - Cellulosic fibers treated with telomers of polyacrylic acid. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100190404 | Fiber containing an antimicrobial composition - Fibers that durably contain antimicrobial materials such that the antimicrobial materials are resistant to being abraided away or washed off during use. The antimicrobial materials contained in the fibers are not prone to the development of resistant strains of bacteria. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the fibers. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100222459 | Polymer modified carbohydrate curable binder composition - A curable aqueous binder composition comprising one or more amine reactant selected from the group consisting of: a protein, a peptide, an amino acid, an ammonium salt of a polycarboxylic acid, an ammonium salt of a (poly)hydroxy-(poly)carboxylic acid; one or more carbohydrate; and one or more emulsion polymer; and the use thereof as thermosetting binders. Also described are composite materials comprising the curable binder composition, and methods of application. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100222463 | Rapid cure carbohydrate composition - A curable binder composition consisting essentially of one or more ammonium salt of an inorganic acid and at least one carbohydrate, and the use thereof as a thermosetting binder. Also described are composite materials comprising the curable binder composition, and methods of application. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110262648 | DURABLE THERMOSETS FROM REDUCING SUGARS AND PRIMARY POLYAMINES - The present invention provides thermosetting aqueous binder compositions of one or more diprimary diamine, e.g. lysine, or poly(primary amine), e.g. polyethylenimine, and one or more reducing sugar in which the number of equivalents of primary amine relative to the number of equivalents of carbonyl groups in the reducing sugar ranges from 0.4:1 to 2:1, the binders being suitable for use on fiber, nonwoven, woven web and finely divided substrates. The binders are at least substantially formaldehyde free, need no polycarboxylic or polycarboxylate component, and yet provide excellent hot wet tensile strength when cured for as little time as a minute or less in use. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110263757 | DURABLE THERMOSET BINDER COMPOSITIONS FROM 5-CARBON REDUCING SUGARS AND USE AS WOOD BINDERS - The present invention provides thermosetting aqueous binder compositions of (i) one or more diprimary diamine, e.g. lysine, or poly(primary amine), e.g. polyethylenimine and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, and (ii) one or more 5-carbon reducing sugar, such as xylose. The binders are at least substantially formaldehyde free and cure rapidly at temperatures sufficiently low and with sufficiently little swelling to enable one to provide wood or woody material containing articles, such as particle board, oriented strand board and bamboo boards or articles. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110306726 | RAPID CURE THERMOSETS FROM 5- AND 6- MEMBERED CYCLIC ENAMINE COMPOUNDS MADE FROM DIALDEHYDES - The present invention provides thermosetting aqueous binder compositions of one or more cyclic enamine, including bis-enamines and di- or higher functional enamines, optionally containing a water soluble or dispersible or dispersible primary amine compound. The binders are at least substantially formaldehyde free, need no polycarboxylic or polycarboxylate component, and yet provide excellent hot wet tensile strength when cured for as little time as a minute or less in use. | 12-15-2011 |
