Process For Preparing Readily Dispersible Water-Soluble Cellulosic Polymers
US Patent:
5674999, Oct 7, 1997
Filed:
Dec 18, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/574066
Inventors:
Michael R. Smith - Baton Rouge LA
Gary J. Schulz - Midland MI
Kenneth C. Reibert - Baton Rouge LA

Assignee:
The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI
International Classification:
C08B 300, C08B 322, C08G 6348
US Classification:
536 56
Abstract:
An improved process for surface treating water soluble cellulosic polymers with crosslinking agents to provide products which are more readily dispersible in cold water, and have longer viscosity delay times than can be achieved with polymers treated in low intensity mixers, such as ribbon blenders, comprising distributing the crosslinking agent using a continuous, high intensity mixer, followed by heating to facilitate surface crosslinking. This process also allows for a reduced level of crosslinking chemicals to be used.
Cellulose Ether Having Enhanced Gel Strength And Compositions Containing It
US Patent:
6228416, May 8, 2001
Filed:
Apr 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/283506
Inventors:
Kenneth C. Reibert - Baton Rouge LA
Jerry R. Conklin - Midland MI
Jerry R. Conklin - Midland MI
Assignee:
The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI
International Classification:
A23L 10534
US Classification:
426573
Abstract:
According to the present invention, there is a methylcellulose having a methoxy substitution of about 21 to about 42 percent based upon the weight of the cellulose ether and elastic modulus (EM) of EM. gtoreq. 181. 3. times. (v. sup. 2711) wherein "v" is viscosity of a two percent solution of the cellulose ether at 20. degree. C. Further described is a process for making the cellulose ether, a food composition containing it, and a pharmaceutical capsule containing it.
Process For Recovering Salable Cellulose Ethers From An Aqueous Medium Containing Such Cellulose Ethers
US Patent:
5504201, Apr 2, 1996
Filed:
Mar 14, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/212090

Assignee:
The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI
International Classification:
C07H 106, C07H 108
US Classification:
536 84
Abstract:
A process for recovering salable cellulose ether solids in an aqueous slurry from a reactor wherein such cellulose ether solids are produced, or in an aqueous slurry from a centrifuge or filter wherein a portion of the cellulose ether solids from the reactor have been removed, comprising flowing the slurry into a hydraulic cyclone at a temperature above the gel point of the cellulose ether solids in such slurry and under conditions which are tailored to the particular cellulose ether solids in the slurry and to the process by which these have been made.
