Protective Paint from Rubber

Abstract

A protective paint has been prepared from rubber which can be used commercially. The chief features of the new paint are: (1) good adhesion to metals; (2) resistance to acids, alkalies, corrosive gases, and corrosive chemicals in general; (3) low permeability to moisture, salt solutions, salt spray, etc.; (4) the film is tough and can be bent without injury at sub-zero temperatures; (5) the film does not flake when cut, and rust spreads very slowly from an exposed area. On account of its unusual set of properties, this paint should have a wide range of usefulness, particularly in chemical and other plants where metal parts are subjected to excessive corrosive conditions.

Linear low density polyethylenes and their blends: Part 4 shear flow of LLDPE blends with LLDPE and LDPE

“…Currently at least 60% of commercial LLDPE is sold in blends with polyolefins or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers) (36). Amelioration of properties (e.g., (18). br improvement of processab&ty are the main reasons.…”

“…is used when the slope of H ( T ) is positive and Eq 18b when it is negative. Equations 18 have been used in our laboratory to compute H(T) for polyethylenes mixed with mica (63) or with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (55).…”
