| 6652606 | Decorative gel with in situ-formed crystals embedded therein, candles containing the gel, and a process for making the decorative gel and candles The present invention provides a decorative gel containing crystals that form in situ in the gel from an additive. The additive is an aromatic solid or mixture of aromatic solids and may optionally include an oil-soluble ester that aids solubilization of ... | 11/25/2003 |
| 6423304 | Dimerized fatty acid based polyamides useful for clear candle and gel applications Blooming and/or syneresis in gel formulations can be reduced or eliminated by adding to an organic mixture an effective amount of a polyamide gelling agent having a softening point of less than about 105° C. wherein the polyamide is the reaction product ... | 07/23/2002 |
| 6111055 | Ester-terminated polyamide gels An ester-terminated dimer acid-based polyamide may be blended with a solvent to form a gel. The solvent may be flammable, and a wick may be added to the resulting gel so as to form a candle. Depending on the composition, the candle may be formed into a fr... | 08/29/2000 |
| 5597947 | High energy fuel gel slurries This invention involves a process for improving the energy and ignitability of a metal slurry gel rocket fuel by the use of an energetic metal compound of higher energy than the parent metal. An energetic metal compound is added slowly to a liquid rocket ... | 01/28/1997 |
| 5401341 | Cross-linked emulsion explosive composition This invention relates to water-in-oil emulsion explosives in which an oxidizing material is contained in the discontinuous water phase, and the continuous oil phase acts as a carbonaceous fuel. More particularly, this invention relates to such explosives... | 03/28/1995 |
| 5244475 | Rheology controlled emulsion An emulsion composition with a polymerizing and/or crosslinking agent and method for its use in improving the manufacturing, packaging, transporting, storage placement and blasting characteristics of explosives containing an emulsion. More specifically, c... | 09/14/1993 |
| 4790961 | Thermally reversible organic solvent gels Stable, thermally reversible gels of organic solvents and a gelling agent having the formula wherein R1 is an anthracene analogue or substituted anthracene analogue, n is zero or a whole number from 2 to 20, and R2 is cholesteryl and... | 12/13/1988 |
| 4692168 | Flammable barrier wrap for solid fuel/firestarter composition A novel package for a solid or gelled heating fuel comprises a flammable plastic film wrapped around the shaped fuel. Preferably, the plastic film is nonporous to prevent sublimation of the fuel.... | 09/08/1987 |
| 4225318 | Method of making hydrocarbon composition A composition which in its initial stage is useful for several end uses. The initial or primary composition becomes an absorbent for oil and similar hydrocarbons that would otherwise present pollution problems whereas by the addition of a liquid hydrocarb... | 09/30/1980 |
| 4202668 | Gelled fuel simulant A relatively stable inert simulant formulation for a hazardous metallized el which has the density, shear rate and yield stress of the duplicated fuel. This formulation provides inexpensive and safe testing of exploratory hydraulic studies, or testing of ... | 05/13/1980 |
| 4166723 | Gelled hydrocarbon fuels Gelled fuel compositions having improved burning characteristics comprise a normally liquid petroleum fuel boiling in the range of about 100°-600° F.; a gelling agent; and about 0.5-20 volume percent acetic anhydride.... | 09/04/1979 |
| 4038207 | Stabilized hydrocarbon gels and a method for their preparation Hydrocarbon gels formed from liquid hydrocarbons with pseudo double salts of alkyl acid orthophosphoric acids as gelling agents are made stable to the presence of excess caustic materials by the addition of an anhydride of a C2 - C10... | 07/26/1977 |
| 3994696 | Aluminum soap demisting agent in jet fuel Compositions of matter comprising a mixture of a jet fuel and an aluminum di-acid soap of a saturated carboxylic acid having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms are disclosed. The compositions of matter are useful as fuels for jet aircraft.... | 11/30/1976 |
