The invention concerns a polymeric antimicrobial composition, a method of producing the same and the uses thereof. The ionomer composition comprises an amine functional polymer compound reacted with silver halide, optionally together with a stabilizing component, such as an organic substance carrying a sulfonamide functional group. The ionomer composition can be obtained by reacting together (i) at least one polyamine and silver halide and optionally at least one organic stabilizer substance or; (ii) at least one polyamine, at least one non-halide silver salt or silver complex, hydrogen halide and/or alkaline metal halide salt and optionally at least one organic stabilizer substance. The present ionomer composition is suitable for use as an antimicrobial coating, antimicrobial finish, antimicrobial additive and as antimicrobial component for formation of new antimicrobial materials.

Emulsions including an additized oil phase and a water phase additive blend are disclosed. The components of the additized oil phase and the water phase additive blend do not interact. The emulsions are useful as metalworking fluids. Methods of making and using the emulsions are also disclosed.

A homogeneous, aqueous mold release solution including: 5 to 90 wt % water; 3 to 40 wt % polyvinyl alcohol; 0.01 to 3.2 wt % surfactant; 1 to 20 wt % sugar alcohol; 0.005 to 1.05 wt % defoamer; and up to 50 ppm biocide, where a total of all components adds to 100 wt %. The mold release solutions have a viscosity in a range from 20 to 600 cps when measured at 23 C. In another aspect, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a homogeneous, aqueous mold release solution including: 5 to 85 wt % water; 10.5 to 15 wt % polyvinyl alcohol; 0.56 to 0.8 wt % surfactant; 1 to 8 wt % sugar alcohol; 0.01 to 0.3 wt % defoamer; and up to 50 ppm biocide, wherein a total of all components adds to 100 wt %. Also disclosed are films prepared from the mold release solutions, as well as methods of coating a substrate using such mold release solutions.

The present invention describes a water-based metal working fluid comprising a base oil, an organic acid, optionally emulsifiers, a concentrate additive, water and a microbial growth control agent which comprises an aminopropanediol.

A water-miscible functional fluid includes: a neutral photosensitizer having an isoalloxazine skeleton; and an antioxidant, wherein the antioxidant is a radical scavenger or a peroxide decomposer.

A lubricant composition comprises vegetable oil; nonionic surfactant; water in an amount of from about 0% to about 15% by weight based on total weight of the composition; optionally biocide; and optionally chelating agent, wherein the weight ratio of vegetable oil to nonionic surfactant is in a range of from about 1:1 to about 9:1. Also disclosed is a lubricant composition that comprises about 40% to about 90% by weight of vegetable oil; from about 10% to about 40% by weight of nonionic surfactant; from about 0% to about 15% by weight of based on total weight of the composition; optionally biocide; and optionally chelating agent. The disclosed lubricant compositions may further comprise the ester of fatty alcohol. Furthermore, a method of dry lubricating surface using the lubricant composition is disclosed.

The current invention relates to a novel class of alkyl alcohol amines where the amine is a primary amine. Embodiments relate to a method of controlling microbial growth in metal working fluids, comprising adding such an alkyl alcohol amine to the metal working fluid. Other embodiments relate to semi-synthetic metal working fluid compositions which include the microbial growth control agent comprising this particular class of alkyl alcohol amines.

Provided herein are aqueous mobility enhancing compositions for improving travel of metal containers through a manufacturing process, including manufacturing equipment and conveyors; methods for making such compositions, and methods for reducing a coefficient of friction on a surface of a metal container by contacting the container with a disclosed composition and containers having a metal surface having a composition of the invention dried-in-place thereon. The compositions are useful for producing desirable slip angle characteristics on surfaces of metal containers that have been subjected only to cleaning processes, or that have been both cleaned and conversion coated.
