| Rust preventive coating composition
Entirely asphaltic, micro-crystalline wax- and aluminum-based coating
compositions, which are fully flexible and accommodate any expansion
or contraction in steel structures, are prepared from various combinations
of components, e.g. those selected from microcrystalline wax, naphthenic
and paraffinic oils, oil-soluble alkali-metal sulfonate, gilsonite,
linseed oil, naphthenic acid, solvent, a viscosity modifier, aluminum
paste, attapulgite, emulsifier, milled cellulose fiber, ground mica,
and silica gel, according to a described stepwise mixing procedure.
Animal litter of clay and western red cedar
An absorbent material useful as an animal litter contains generally
a wood product and clay particles. Specifically, the wood product
in the preferred embodiment is wood particles from Western Red Cedar
trees, which are nontoxic and nonaromatic. The clay particles are
crystalline clay particles comprising calcium montmorillonite, sodium
bentonite, attapulgite, and calcium bentonite. The material has
the properties of being nontoxic, nonallergenic, nonaromatic, natural,
and deodorant. The material further has the properties of enhancing
clumping and coating solid material. |
