An injection molded powder metallurgy product of highly satisfactory quality is obtained by a method which comprises injection molding mixture obtained by kneading a metal powder with a binder, depriving the molded mass of the binder while keeping the molded mass at least in contact with ceramic powder, projecting beads on the molded mass free from the binder, and thereafter sintering the molded m...

A reclaimable polyester film is disclosed which comprises an oriented polyester film which has been coated with an adhesion-promoting coating. The coating is applied to the film as an aqueous dispersion and is dried and crosslinked by the application of heat. The coating is prepared by the free-radical emulsion polymerizable of the following components: A) 1 to 99% by weight of a polymer having ca...

Novel compositions of silicone/polyether block copolymers are provided which are useful as surfactants in several classes of polyurethane foam production. While conventional copolymers have a polysiloxane backbone with pendant polyethers, the surfactants of the present invention are the reverse with siloxane pendants on a polyether chain. These novel non-hydrolyzable polysiloxane polyoxyalkylene c...
