The object of the invention is the use of an aqueous dispersion of a vinylacetate-ethylene-copolymer and of at least one polyethylene imine as a binder in a carpet coating composition for the production of carpets.

Disclosed is a method for coating fruit to inhibit or prevent maturation and ripening of climacteric fruit during post-harvest storage and transport, a fruit item having a coating which inhibits or prevents maturation and ripening of the fruit item during post-harvest storage and transport, and a composition for coating fruit post-harvest to prevent or slow down maturation and ripening of climacteric fruit. The disclosure is in particular suitable for mangos, citrus fruit and bananas.

A wire or cable comprising an insulation layer and a semiconducting shield layer over and in contact with the insulation layer and strippable from the insulation layer, the second semiconducting shield layer made from the composition comprising: (A) 45-52% ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) comprising 28-45% units derived from vinyl acetate (VA) based on the weight of the EVA; (B) 30-45% carbon black having (1) 80-1 15 milliliters per 100 grams (ml/100 g) DBP absorption value, (2) 30-60 milligrams per gram (mg/g) iodine absorption (I2NO), and (3) 0.3-0.6 grams/milliliter (g/ml) apparent density; (C) 5-20% acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) comprising 25-55% units derived from acrylonitrile (AN) based on the weight of the NBR; (D) 0.2-2% phenolic antioxidant; and (E) 0.5-2% organic peroxide.

The present invention relates to a flame retardant and iodine stain resistant topcoat composition comprising: a thermoplastic component including one or both of ethylene vinyl acetate resin and chloride vinyl acetate resin; and a radiation curable component including one or more acrylic oligomers and one or more acrylic monomers. The present invention further relates a method of coating at least a portion of a substrate with the topcoat composition and a substrate being at least partially coated with the topcoat composition. The present invention further discloses a flame retardant topcoat composition, comprising an alumina pigment; and a radiation curable component including one or more acrylic oligomers and one or more acrylic monomers.

A process for preparing a waterborne heat seal coating composition comprising the steps of: a) melt blending ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, at least one tackifier, and optionally a surfactant in a mixing and conveying zone to form a melt blend; b) contacting the melt blend with an initial aqueous stream comprising a neutralizing agent, water, and optionally a surfactant in an emulsification zone to form a dispersion; and c) diluting the dispersion with water in a dilution zone to form the waterborne heat seal coating composition wherein the process is a continuous process, is disclosed.

A material restoration system disclosed herein. The material restoration system includes a first composition (referred to herein as Composition A) and a second composition (referred to herein as Composition B). Composition A is a cleaning, stain-lifting, and rejuvenation product which is permeable into many construction materials (i.e. concrete). Composition A is capable of removing surface contaminants, including salt, surface rust, calcification and hard water byproducts, oxidation, and efflorescence. Composition A permeates into the material and acts to lift stains. Composition B is a surface applicant and can be used to resurface construction materials (particularly concrete) or fill voids and damage broken construction materials. Composition B has strong bonding properties and is able to provide structural benefits when used to fill cracks and chips.

The invention relates to a composition for a pasty fill and finishing material, a pasty fill and finishing material, and a method for producing a pasty fill and finishing material. The composition comprises at least one filler, at least one binding agent, and additives, wherein the at least one filler has a density dependent flowability (ff.sub.?) value of from 3 to 20.

The invention relates to an additive-manufacture feedstock, comprising an ethylene-vinyl ester polymer having a melt flow rate of from 0.1 to 150 g/10 min (190? C./2.16 kg), measured according to ASTM D 1238, and a vinyl ester content of from about 1.0 wt % to about 30 wt %, wherein the ethylene-vinyl ester polymer exhibits a Shore A hardness of at least about 60. The pellets and filaments produced from the additive-manufacture feedstock have a high degree of printability in material-extrusion-based 3D printing technology, and can be used to produce 3D printing articles with a high consistency to the targeted 3D model and substantially no warpage. The invention also relates to methods of making the additive-manufacture feedstock and methods of 3D printing using the additive-manufacture feedstock in various forms.
