Abstract:
Described are film(s) and/or sheet(s) made using polyester compositions comprising polyesters comprising (a) a dicarboxylic acid component comprising 70 to 100 mole % of terephthalic acid residues, and up to 30 mole % of aromatic dicarboxylic acid residues or aliphatic dicarboxylic acid residues; and (b) a glycol component comprising 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol residues, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residues.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic polyurethane composite resin composition. The disclosed flame retardant thermoplastic polyurethane composite resin composition is capable of improving flame retardancy and flaming-drip of a thermoplastic polyurethane resin through desirable formation of char during combustion, which uses a phosphinate, a diphosphinate and/or a polymer thereof, dipentaerythritol, talc, a melamine derivative, etc., instead of a halogen-based flame retardant, as a flame retardant.

Abstract:
A composite is formed from at least one base material and at least one filler powder mixture dispersed in the base material. The filler powder mixture has a filler powder fraction and at least one further filler powder fraction. The filler powder fraction has an average powder particle diameter (D50) selected from the range from 1 μm to 100 μm and the total proportion of the filler powder mixture in the composite (degree of fill) is above 50% by weight. The further filler powder fraction has a further average powder particle diameter selected from the range from 1 nm to 50 nm and the proportion of the further filler powder fraction in the filler powder mixture is selected from the range from 0.1% by weight to 50% by weight. A high degree of fill can be achieved at a low viscosity in the presence of nanosize filler particles. The composite is particularly suitable as embedding composition (pourable resin system).
