20060111452 - Process for making silicone emulsions: An emulsion of an organo-functional polysiloxane is prepared by emulsifying a silanol-functional polysiloxane (I) in water, adding an organofunctional silane of the formula X-A-Si(R)n(OR′)3-n(II), where X represents an organic functional group; A represents a divalent organic linkage; each R represents a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl radical; each R′ represents hydrogen...

20060111453 - Antifoaming agent and/or deaerators for aqueous media tending to foam: Antifoams and/or deaerators based on oil-in-water dispersions, whose oil phase contains at least one compound from the group consisting of the alcohols of at least 12 carbon atoms, alkoxylated fatty alcohols, mono-, di- and triglycerides of fatty acids, fatty acid esters of carboxylic acids of at least 12 carbon atoms...

20060111454 - Composition to reduce adhesion between a conformable region and a mold: The present invention provides compositions that feature improved preferential adhesion and release characteristics with respect to a substrate and a mold having imprinting material disposed therebetween. To that end, the compositions facilitate bifurcation of the imprinting into a surfactant-component-rich sub-portion and a surfactant-component-depleted sub-portion located between said surfactant-component-rich sub-portion and...

20060106118 - Grinding method: The invention provides a method of grinding an inorganic particulate material such as calcium carbonate or kaolin in an aqueous suspension, preferably at a solids level below about 50% by weight, wherein the aqueous suspension includes a sub-effective amount of a dispersing agent for the inorganic particulate material....

20060100292 - Metal hydroxide desiccated emulsions used to prepare grease: The invention provides a grease composition comprising a stable dispersion of a metal hydroxide with a number average particle size in the range 20 nanometres to 2 micrometres, a surfactant with a HLB of less than 10, a mono- or poly-carboxylic acid, and an oil of lubricating viscosity. The method...
