Abstract:
Compositions and methods for incorporating a surface modifier ingredients, e.g. a UV absorber, into the surface of a resinous e.g. polycarbonate article are described. The compositions contain the modifier in micellular form in an aqueous medium. Surfactant, preferably a mixture of ionic and non-ionic, is used in the composition to cause formation of micelles.
a) 15-40 wt. % of a thermoplastic polymer, preferably EVA; b) 20-40 wt. % of magnesium oxide or hydroxide to reduce flammability and smoking; c) 10-25 wt. % of aluminium oxide trihydrate or hydroxide as flame retardant filler; d) 10-20 wt. % of chlorinated paraffin hydrocarbon, e.g. 70% chlorinated wax, aiding processing; and e) 0-15 wt. % of antimony trioxide.
Abstract:
Flame retardancy of polyphenylene ether resins is increased by blending with the resin a flame retarding amount of a halogenated polyester which is the reaction product of a halogenated phthalic acid or phthalic anhydride with an epoxide or hydroxy compound containing at least two hydroxyl groups. The polyphenylene ether resin may include homopolymers or copolymers of polyphenylene ethers or blends of polyphenylene ethers with vinyl aromatic resins such as styrene polymers and copolymers. The flame retarding polyesters are also effective as processing aids in improving the flowability and moldatility of the polyphenylene ether resins during melt processing.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses the use of propanone 1,3-disulfonic acid as an esterification catalyst. This catalyst has a significantly higher reaction rate when compared to conventional esterification catalysts, such as methanesulfonic acid and sulfuric acid.
Abstract:
A continuous method is provided for preparing alkanesulfonyl halides, particularly chlorides and alkanesulfonic acids in high yields without the formation of undesirable side-products, and without the net production of hydrogen chloride as a by-product. The method involves the continuous electrolysis of an alkanethiol (RSH) or dialkyl disulfide (RSSR′) in an aqueous hydrochloric acid-containing solution, continuously removing the electrolyzed product mixture from the electrolysis zone, and recovering the alkanesulfonyl chloride (RSO₂Cl) or alkanesulfonic acid (RSO₃H) product from the mixture. The alkyl groups in the dialkyl disulfide (R and R′) may be straight or branched chain, substituted or unsubstituted, have 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and may be different, but are preferably the same. The aqueous hydrochloric acid-containing medium and any unreacted sulphur compounds may be recycled through the electrolysis chamber.
Abstract:
A dielectric film of a molecularly oriented copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and tetrafluoroethylene, a process of preparing such film and a capacitor produced from such film are disclosed herein.
Abstract:
Alkanesulfonic acids and alkanesulfonyl chlorides, free of undesirable side products arising from side-chain chlorination, are prepared by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide of the corresponding alkanethiol, dialkyldisulfide or alkyl alkanethiolsulfonate mixed with aqueous hydrochloric acid.
Abstract:
Ultraviolet light stabilizers are chemically bound to anhydride containing polymers or copolymers. The polymeric stabilizers are prepared by the reaction of primary amino or hydrazido-substituted UV absorbers with some or all of the anhydride groups of the polymer or copolymer to form polymers with recurring units selected from the formulas
or
or both in which the units occur, e.g., in the polymer backbone and wherein x is 0 or 1, R 1 and R 2 are, e.g., hydrogen or phenyl and G is, e.g., wherein R 3 and R 4 are, e.g., hydrogen or R 3 or R 4 is a connecting group X 1 which is, e.g., a direct bond. The polymer bound stabilizers are not lost from the polymer system by volatilization, migration, or extraction, even at high temperature. The polymer of this invention may be used as they are or as concentrates to stabilize other polymer systems.
