A release agent for vulcanized rubber molding is provided which has excellent mold releasing properties and washability. This release agent for vulcanized rubber molding contains an alkylene oxide adduct (A) of an amine compound having 4-8 active hydrogen atoms in the molecule, wherein the aforementioned alkylene oxide adduct (A) of an amine compound has a number average molecular weight of 5000-30000, and contains 50-95 mass % of an oxyethylene group.

The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion at least containing (A) at least one polyurethane, (B) at least one fresh sol and (C) optionally further additives, wherein the at least one polyurethane is anionically hydrophilized, to a process for producing the dispersion, to the use of the dispersion for producing an adhesive composition, to a corresponding adhesive composition, to an adhesive laminate containing at least one substrate bonded with this adhesive composition, to a process for producing an adhesive laminate and to the use of a fresh sol for achieving a thickening effect in an aqueous polyurethane dispersion.

Carbodiimide is added to a molten polyamide resin so as to provide resin pellets. The percentage of residual unreacted carbodiimide to each resin pellet is 0.03% to 0.33% by mass. Manufacturing molded articles using the resin pellets achieves both of an improvement in mechanical strength and an increase in wear resistance, and reduces property variations among the molded articles.

Provided is an anti-microbially induced corrosion biodegradable composition comprising: a biodegradable polymer base; a degradation modifier; an encapsulated dormant bacteria; an optional encapsulation agent; and an activation trigger. In an illustrative embodiment, the biodegradable polymer base comprises polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoates, the degradation modifier comprises Polyethylene glycol (PEG) or Glycerol, the encapsulated dormant bacteria comprises Bacillus subtilis spores, the encapsulation agent comprises calcium alginate or silica microcapsules, and the activation trigger comprises trehalose or glucose. A method of preventing microbially induced corrosion using the disclosed composition is also provided. The inventive composition provides many advantages over other known methods to prevent MIC in that it is significantly cost effective, highly customized, rapidly prototyped, and can be implemented into any material/asset that is already in use.
