A smooth stable viscous gelled printing ink composition comprising a mixture of water, a gelling agent, a chelating agent, and a colorant or pigment, property enhancing additives evenly dispersed into the mixture, and an alkaline electrolyte viscosity increasing agent that raises the pH of the mixture and forms a smooth homogeneous stable gel with a viscosity level having the consistency of a custard or jelly. In addition to the colorants or pigments, additives may also include drying oils, resins, surfactants, film forming components, water flight agents, and other additives. The stabilized gel prevents separation and settling of the homogeneously suspended colorants, pigments, and property enhancing additives, and significantly improves storage stability. The ink compositions do not require shaking, stirring, or mixing prior to use are fast drying on paper, and do not dry on the printing press, in the storage containers, or in the ink jet or bubble jet injector nozzles. The gelled ink compositions with property enhancing additives also have improved non rub-off characteristics, excellent printability, high color strength, good water balance, less mist, and sharp halftone reproduction.

The present invention is an improvement in a process for producing a blend of bitumen and a block copolymer of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene comprising mixing from 88 to 99. 5 weight percent of bitumen with 0. 5 to 12 weight percent copolymer at 135. degree. to 250. degree. C. , agitating the mixture for at least 30 minutes, adding 0. 01 to 2 weight percent sulfur and maintaining the mixture under agitation for at least 30 minutes. The improvement comprises utilizing high shear mixing at a shear rate of at least 10,000 second. sup. -1 to provide said agitation.

A paving asphalt composition for improving the durability and longevity of asphalt road surfaces is disclosed. The paving asphalt composition includes asphalt base stock, heavy residuum of re-refined motor oil, and a chemical modifier. The heavy residuum of re-refined motor oil preferably has an API gravity of at least about 12, a kinematic viscosity greater than about 400 centistokes at 140. degree. F. , a flash point greater than about 400. degree. F. and a mass loss less than about 3%. The paving asphalt composition may also include a polymer. A method of forming the paving asphalt composition and a method of paving roads are also disclosed.

Fishing apparatus, including a relatively short tubular cylinder around which fishing line is wound, the cylinder having a diametric crossbar adapted to be held by one of the hands of the user. The cylinder may have a raised rib or flange around each of its ends to assist in retaining the line thereon. At one side of the cylinder, an inwardly flared recess is provided adjacent the end of the crossbar, whereby the crossbar may be grasped by the fingers of one hand while the thumb of that hand is disposed in the flared recess in a position to be useful in controlling the line. Mirror image flared recesses may be provided, one at each end of the crossbar, in positions whereby one may be used when the drum is held in one hand and the other may be used when the drum is held in the opposite hand. The apparatus is, therefore, adapted for use by either righthanded or lefthanded persons. Casting of the line is accomplished by swinging the free end of the line in a circle and then releasing it at a rapid velocity.

A bitumen composition comprising an asymmetric, radial polymer containing a plurality of block copolymer arms comprising at least one polymeric block of a monoalkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon and at least one polymeric block of a conjugated diolefin polymer and a plurality of conjugated diolefin polymer arms. The bitumen composition exhibits increased toughness and tenacity as determined by the Benson method and is particularly useful in road paving applications. Best results are achieved when the asymmetric, radial block copolymer is sulfur vulcanized after incorporation into the bitumen composition.
