Appl. No.:

5/954959

Inventors:

Michael F. Hardy - Cincinnati OH
Terry Tgavalekos - Peabody MA

Assignee:

National Distillers and Chemical Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

C08F 812

US Classification:

525 62

Abstract:

Process for the production of partially-hydrolyzed ethylene-vinyl ester interpolymers by the controlled alcoholysis of the base resins, in which discoloration of the hydrolyzed products is suppressed by the rapid addition of the alcoholysis catalyst to the reaction medium. In reactions carried out over periods of from 0. 5 to 200 minutes, the catalyst is thus added to the medium within periods of from 0. 1 to 20 minutes at substantially uniform rates varying by no more than. +-. 25% over the period of addition. Substantially colorless hydrolyzed resins of particular application for packaging films are thereby produced.

US Classification:

22218909

Abstract:

A manually operated pump dispensing device is provided for dispensing a liquid product. The manually operated pump dispensing device includes a container for storing the liquid product, a dispensing pump and a gas-permeable/liquid-impermeable vent. The container has an interior chamber and an exterior that is exposed to the environment. The dispensing pump is attached to the container in fluid communication with the liquid product. The dispensing pump has a discharge orifice and an actuator. The gas-permeable/liquid-impermeable vent comprises a venting module that includes a membrane and a support frame. The membrane is gas-permeable/liquid-impermeable and is affixed onto the support frame such that the membrane surrounds the support frame. The vent allows for communication between the interior chamber and the environment, thereby passively venting the container.
