Abstract:
Ethylene oxide (EO) adducts of di- ard tri-functional starters, such as, trimethylolpropane and glycerine, provide unexpected improvements in the "wet compression set" properties of high resilience (HR) urethane foams. Heretofore, wet set improvements have been achieved through the use of EO adducts of tetrols because of the high degree of crosslink density which these materials impart to a urethane polymeric composition. One commercial wet set additive, which is an EO adduct of pentaerythritol and diglycerine, is an effective wet set improver. Surprisingly, EO adducts of di- and tri-functional starters provide improvements in foam wet set properties, which are comparable to those obtained with such commercial wet set additive. Specifically, EO adducts of glycerine in the 500 to 10,000 molecular weight range yield foam wet set improvements equal to those of such commercial wet set additive at as low as 20 percent of the use level on an equivalent weight basis. Moreover, the EO adducts of glycerine yield foams having improved elongation properties and improved processing (stability) characteristics as compared to those observed with such commercial wet set additives. An EO adduct of glycerine having a number average MW of 1,000 is particularly useful in the invention.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for separating epsilon caprolactam from a feed mixture comprising epsilon caprolactam and one or more epsilon caprolactam isomers selected from the group consisting of 4-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone, 5-methyl-2-piperdinone, 3-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone and 3-methyl-2-piperdinone or octahydrophenazine which process comprises contacting under adsorption conditions said mixture with an adsorbent, selectively adsorbing said epsilon caprolactam isomers or octahydrophenazine to substantial exclusion of said epsilon caprolactam, removing the non-adsorbed portion of the feed mixture from contact with the adsorbent, and thereafter recovering high purity epsilon caprolactam. The epsilon caprolactam isomers or octahydrophenazine can be recovered by desorption under desorption conditions. The process can be conducted in a batch or semi-batch manner or in a continuous manner using moving bed or simulated moving bed technologies.

A process for the preparation of a thermosetting composition comprising the following steps: (a) maintaining the process in an essentially oxygen-free state; (b) introducing a first polymer directly from the polymerization reactor in which it was prepared, in molten form, into a mixer/compounder; (c) reducing any higher pressure accompanying the first polymer from the polymerization reactor to the mixer/compounder to a pressure in the range of 0 to 5x105 Pa gauge (0 to 5 barg); (d) adding additives selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, second polymers, other polymer enhancing additives, and mixtures thereof to the mixer/compounder, and mixing same with the molten first polymer; (e) passing the molten mixture from step (d) through one or more screens, each having a maximum opening size of 25 µm; (f) pelletizing the mixture from step (e); (g) introducing the pellets into a spraying chamber, the interior of said chamber being operated in a static condition; (h) spraying the pellets in the chamber with a crosslinking formulation including an organic peroxide and, optionally, a scorch retarder and/or a cure booster to coat the pellets; and (i) annealing the coated pellets to impregnate the pellets with the crosslinking formulation.
