Abstract:
This invention relates to polyester compositions useful for the manufacturing containers that minimizes the effect of secondary contamination during filling. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyester bottle for use in filling of carbonated pasteurized products comprising at least one oxygen scavenging component that limits oxygen ingress to about 1 ppm or less when measured six months after filling, and at least one passive component that limits the carbonation loss to less than about 25 % when measured six months after filing. The present invention also relates to a method of using the polyester bottle to minimize the growth of secondary contaminants in a carbonated pasteurized product.
Abstract:
A process for making 3-aminopentanenitrile from a crude 2-pentenenitrile ("crude 2PN") comprising 2-pentenenitrile, 2-methyl-2-butenenitrile, and 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile includes contacting the crude 2PN with an ammonia-containing fluid and water. The ammonia-containing fluid can include at least one reactant selected from the group consisting of ammonia, aqueous ammonia, and ammonium hydroxide.
Abstract:
Briefly described, embodiments of this disclosure include close-couple twisting and heat-setting apparatus, methods of twisting yarn and heat-setting twisted yarn, and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polyester composition comprising a diacid component and a diol component, wherein the diacid component comprises: i) isophthalic acid present at a concentration in the range of from about 23 mole % to about 30 mole % of the total diacid, and ii) terephthalic acid; and wherein the diol component comprises: i) diethylene glycol present at a concentration in the range of from about 1.1 mole % to about 3.5 mole % of the total diol, and ii) ethylene glycol. Other embodiments of the present invention include a film produced from the polyester composition and processes for producing the film.
Abstract:
Dyed yarns typically have inferior color fastness compared with pigmented yarns. However, dyeing offers a virtually infinite selection of colors, flexibility and more uniformity than constructions of pigmented yarns in residential carpet and other yarn applications, such as apparel. It has been found that relatively small amounts of pigment (10 to 1000 ppm) incorporated into polymeric fibers, and particularly nylon fibers used in carpets, creates lightly pigmented yarns which, when overdyed, are highly uniform and have a higher degree of apparent dye light fastness compared to normal dyed yarns. This effect is observable for both anionic and cationic polyamide polymers, and dyeing of these slightly pigmented yarns can be conducted to produce yarns of almost any color of greater depth than the base yarn.
Abstract:
Articles comprising garments with at least one opening layers are included. The articles may include an elastic polymer composition such as a film, a melt or an aqueous dispersion.
Abstract:
A polymeric, phosphorus-containing composition made by heating, in the presence of an initiator, preferably a free radical initiator, and optionally in the presence of one or more comonomcrs, at least one substituted phosphonylatcd 2,2'-dihydroxyl-1,1'-binaphthalene or at least one substituted 2,2'-dihydroxyl-1,1'-biphenylene.
Abstract:
Included are multiend packages of multicomponent yarns, where the yarn is separable into individual ends upon unwinding. The multicomponent yarn may be a bicomponent yarn, such as a yarn including compositionally different polyesters in a side-by-side or eccentric sheath-core configuration. Uses of such multiend packages are also included.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for preparing tertiary amine compounds from primary amines and nitriles in the presence of hydrogen gas and metal catalyst, or metal-containing catalyst composition, at a temperature from about 50°C to about 200°C and at a pressure from about 100 psig to 1500 psig. The primary amines and the nitriles used in the process may be diamines and/or dinitriles, or may be combinations of primary amines and/or nitriles. Also disclosed and novel tertiary amine compounds made by the described method.
Abstract:
Commercially acceptable spandex can be prepared with greater efficiency, improved consistency and at lower costs from a high-solids content polyurethaneurea polymer solution. The polyurethaneurea is prepared using a combination of 4, 4'-MDI and 2,4'-MDI, and an amount of chain extenders and chain terminators such that the polymer solution, prior to spinning, is highly soluble and has an appropriate pre-spun IV and primary amine content.
