The disclosed ethylene polymer compositions have et least one homogeneously branched substantially linear ethylene/ alpha -olefin interpolymer and at least one heterogeneously branched ethylene polymer. The homogeneously branched linear or substantially linear ethylene/ alpha -olefin interpolymer has a density from about 0.88 to about 0.935 g/cm<3> and a slope of strain hardening coefficient great...

A molded closure for a liquid container comprising a thermoplastic elastomer and a blowing agent. The molded closure is particularly suitable for use as a synthetic wine cork in a wine bottle. The molded closure does not permit passage of oxygen into the container, does not absorb oxygen from the contents of the container, can be removed from the container using a corkscrew without significant exp...

A process for extruding a thermoplastic composition at higher drawdown rates with less neck-in and greater resistance to draw resonance as well as processes for extrusion coating a substrate and for making an extrusion-cast film are disclosed. The thermoplastic composition is made of at least one substantially linear ethylene polymer used alone or in combination with at least one high-pressure eth...

A rubber elastic block copolymer has at least one block A made of polymerised units of a vinyl aromatic monomer that forms a hard phase and/or a block B with diene monomers that forms a first rubber elastic (soft) phase, and at least one elastomer block B/A with polymerised units of both a vinyl aromatic monomer and a diene that forms if required a second or additional soft phase. The glass transi...

The invention relates to a process for spraying a dispersible liquid material or a mixture of dispersible liquid materials, characterized in that the dispersible liquid material (3) or the mixture is dispersed in the form of particles (7) by projecting at least one stream of solid particles (6) which are reactive due to their partial or total coating, on said material, and said particles (7) are c...

Plastisol compositions based on vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymers produced by a suspension polymerisation process have a low viscosity even when the polymer/plastifier ratio is low, so that they can be made into airless spraying plastisol compositions. These compositions are storage stable and easy to gel. Coatings based on these plastisols have good sound-proofing properties even when their...

The invention relates to the preparation of a water-dilutable stone impact protection and of a compensation paint and its use and processes for their production, especially in the automobile industry. The water-dilutable stone impact protection paint contains 20 to 60 wt % binder and 2 to 10 wt % pigments and possibly uncoagulated overspray of water-soluble base paints and the compensation paint c...

Provided is a composition for a rapid setting sprayable cement material as well as the process and system for mixing and placing said cement material. The composition comprises a sprayable mixture of cement forming ingredients such as silicon dioxide, magnesium oxide, and an aqueous metal phosphate solution. The process for mixing and placing said cement material uses serially connected dry materi...

An MPEG-2 or other compressed video stream (CP) can be manipulated as separate information bus (IB) and coefficient (CP*) streams. The information bus stream (IB) contains motion vector information but also information derived from a previous decoding operation (14, 18) for use in a subsequent coding operation (22). Processing in the coefficient domain enables bit rate conversion without decoding ...

Polypeptides with saponin glycosyl hydrolase activity, including avenacinase and tomatinase, have been purified and encoding nucleic acid therefor cloned and manipulated. The nucleic acid is useful in production of the polypeptides, for example in host cells such as plant or microbial cells, and in screening for other saponin glycosyl hydrolase genes. Oligonucleotides for use in probing have been ...
