A method for producing a mineral wool product includes contacting mineral fibres with a formaldehyde-free binder composition for mineral fibres.

A resin composition contains a polymer whose enthalpy of fusion (H) observed within a temperature range of 10 C. or higher and lower than 60 C. in differential scanning calorimetry is 30 J/g or more; and a low-molecular-weight compound whose enthalpy of fusion (H) observed within a temperature range of 0 C. or higher and lower than 100 C. in differential scanning calorimetry is 30 J/g or more and whose molecular weight is 2000 or lower. A content of the low-molecular-weight compound is 3 parts by weight to 1000 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of polymer components contained in the resin composition except the low-molecular-weight compound.

Provided is a rubber composition for injection molding. The rubber composition includes a rubber component selected from a natural rubber or a synthetic rubber and an ethylene oligomer. The ethylene oligomer is an ethylene homo-oligomer or an ethylene co-oligomer. The ethylene oligomer has a melting point of 130 C. or less, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and a weight average molecular weight of 40,000 or less, a number average molecular weight of 15,000 or less or a viscosity average molecular weight of 15,000 or less.

The present invention relates to a plasticizer composition, a resin composition including the same, and a method of preparing the same. The plasticizer composition includes a cyclohexane 1,4-diester-based material; and an epoxidized alkyl ester-based material, wherein a weight ratio of the cyclohexane 1,4-diester-based material and the epoxidized alkyl ester-based material is 99:1 to 1:99, and the epoxidized alkyl ester-based material has an oxirane index (O.I.) of 1.5 or more. When the plasticizer composition is used as a plasticizer for a resin composition, properties such as plasticization efficiency, migration ability, tensile strength, elongation rate, migration upon stress, absorption rate, and the like may be improved.

The present invention provides methods for preparing the nut waste composites from a nut waste component, one or more binders, and an oil using a compounder/extruder.

The present disclosure provides a flooding composition. In an embodiment, the flooding composition includes in weight percent (wt %) based on the weight of the composition (A) from 20 wt % to 40 wt % of a polyolefin component comprising (i) a first amorphous polyolefin (APO), and (ii) a second APO different than the first APO. The flooding composition also includes (B) from 30 wt % to 60 wt % of a bio-based oil; and (C) from 15 wt % to 45 wt % of a polysiloxane.

A fire-retardant material comprising from 25 to 50 wt % base oil, from 0.5 to 2.5 wt % polymer, from 0.1 to 1.0 wt % antioxidant, and from 50 to 75 wt % flame retardant.

Please cancel the previous Abstract and replace it with the following NEW A contact medium for use in medical and non-medical sonography, in electrocardiography, in electroencephalography, or in defibrillation, which contains 0.05 to 2.5 wt. % of a gel-forming agent, 0.05 to 3.5 wt. % of a detergent, and 0.1 to 4.0 wt. % of an emulsifier and optionally additives as well as water as the remaining element.

Provided is a rubber composition for injection molding. The rubber composition includes a rubber component selected from a natural rubber or a synthetic rubber and an ethylene oligomer.
