Date Aug. 23, 1990.Method for production of a thermostable crosslinked halogen-containing polymer. Expoxygroups are added by way of a monomer as for example glycidylmethacrylate. The crosslinking of the polymer is carried out through an organic silane which can be...

This invention relates to compositions which are useful as additives in lubricants and fuels, and more particularly, to additives which are chlorine-free or contain only minor amounts of chlorine. More particularly, carboxylic compositions are described which are prepared by reacting a terpolymer derived from a mixture of monomers comprising ethylene, an alphaolefin containing 3 to about 20 carbon...

The invention relates to a method of producing shaped bodies having heat insulating properties and based on foamed alkali metal silicate particles containing silicon dioxide (SiO2) and alkali metal oxide (M2O) (M is an alkali metal) in a molar ratio of from 2 to 4.5 (SiO2:M2O), and is characterised in that 100 parts by weight of the foamed alkali metal silicate particles are mixed with an aqueous ...
