Abstract

A composite nonwoven containing a first nonwoven layer and a second nonwoven layer. The first nonwoven layer forms the upper surface of the nonwoven composite. The first nonwoven layer contains at least 90% by weight of a plurality of polyethylene terephthalate glycol fibers. The second nonwoven layer forms the lower surface of the composite nonwoven. The second nonwoven layer contains an intimate blend of a plurality of polyester terephthalate fibers, a plurality of first bi-component polyester fibers having a melting temperature of less than 140˚C and a plurality of second bi-component polyester fibers having a melting temperature of greater than 150˚C. At least a portion of the polyethylene terephthalate glycol fibers from the first nonwoven layer are needled into the second nonwoven layer and at least 90% by weight of the composite nonwoven is polyester.

Branched Wetting Agents for Enhanced Treatment of Drought Field Conditions

Abstract

This invention relates to multi-branched block copolymers suitable for use as wetting agents. The multi-branched block copolymers are comprised of an oxygen-containing polyfunctional base compound having at least 3 EO/PO block copolymer branches attached thereto. The improvement lies in: (a) the percent hydrophobic component, as defined as the weight % PO in the molecule, being present in an amount from 40% to 60% by weight and in (b) the molecular weight per branch (or arm), as defined as the total number average molecular weight of the polymer divided by the functionality of the base being greater than 1700 gmol−1arm−1. It was surprisingly discovered that this combination of intermediate hydrophobicity and high molecular weight give superior drought tolerance for plants treated therewith.

Abstract

A polymer composition comprises a polyolefin polymer and a salt of cyclopentylphosphonic acid. The polyolefin polymer can be a polypropylene polymer or a polyethylene polymer. The polymer composition exhibits fast crystallization rates, making it suitable for use in the production of thin articles with low haze levels. Polymer compositions containing a polyethylene polymer can exhibit preferential transverse direction crystalline lamellae growth, which is a desirable orientation in films and circular, center-gated injection molded parts.

Abstract

This invention relates to heterocyclic red azo colorants for seed treatment applications. The red azo colorants contain a heterocycle that includes one nitrogen atom and one sulfur atom and are free from electron-withdrawing groups on the heterocycle. Seeds for use in horticultural/agriculture applications that are coated with the heterocyclic azo colorants provide anti-counterfeiting properties to the coated seeds. A color change phenomenon is observed when the coated seeds are exposed to an acidic material, such as vinegar, and provides evidence of the authenticity of the coated seeds. The invention also relates to agricultural formulations containing the heterocyclic red azo colorants that can be used as an anti-counterfeit agents.

Abstract

A polymer composition comprises a polyolefin polymer and a salt of cyclopentylphosphonic acid. The polyolefin polymer can be a polypropylene polymer or a polyethylene polymer. The polymer composition exhibits fast crystallization rates, making it suitable for use in the production of thin articles with low haze levels. Polymer compositions containing a polyethylene polymer can exhibit preferential transverse direction crystalline lamellae growth, which is a desirable orientation in films and circular, center-gated injection molded parts.

Une composition polymère comprend un polymère de polyoléfine et un sel d'acide cyclopentylphosphonique. Le polymère de polyoléfine peut être un polymère de polypropylène ou un polymère de polyéthylène. La composition polymère présente des vitesses de cristallisation rapides, ce qui la rend appropriée pour une utilisation dans la production d'articles minces ayant de faibles niveaux de trouble. Les compositions polymères contenant un polymère de polyéthylène peuvent présenter une croissance de lamelles cristallines à direction transversale préférentielle, qui est une orientation souhaitée dans des films et des pièces moulées par injection centrée circulaire.

A method for making a polymer composition comprises the steps of providing a heterophasic thermoplastic polymer composition, providing a compatibilizing agent, providing a peroxide compound, and mixing and melting the heterophasic thermoplastic polymer composition, compatibilizing agent, and peroxide compound. The compatibilizing agent comprises an ester compound formally derived from a polyol comprising three or more hydroxy groups and an aliphatic carboxylic acid comprising one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. A modified polymer composition comprises a heterophasic thermoplastic polymer composition and a compatibilizing agent. The modified polymer composition has an ethylene discontinuous phase present in the form of discrete particles in a propylene continuous phase. The discrete particles of the ethylene discontinuous phase are present in the modified polymer composition in a concentration of 2.1 or more particles per cubic micron.
