Abstract:
Knit fabrics and socks made therefrom and a process for producing such articles are disclosed, The fabrics are constructed from blended yarns containing at least 30% by weight high tensile nylon, which imparts abrasion resistance, and at least one companion fiber, which is chosen to confer a specific desirable attribute. Exemplary is the fabric constructed from blended yarn containing high tensile nylon staple and polyester staple, the fabric being particularly useful for the manufacture of socks demonstrating improved durability and moisture management.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a blend of polyester and a partially aromatic polyamide with an ionic compatibilizer and a cobalt salt. This blend can be processed into a container that has both active and passive oxygen barrier and carbon dioxide barrier properties at an improved color and clarity than containers known in the art. The partially aromatic polyarnide is preferably metaxylylene adipamide. The ionic compatibilizer is preferably 5-sodiumsulfoisophthalic acid or 5zincsulfoisophthalic acid, or their dialkyl esters such as the dimethyl ester (SIM) and glycol ester (SIPEG). The cobalt salt is selected form the class of cobalt acetate, cobalt carbonate, cobalt chloride, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt naphthenate, cobalt oleate, cobalt linoleate, cobalt octoate, cobalt stearate, cobalt nitrate, cobalt phosphate, cobalt sulfate, cobalt (ethylene glycolate), or mixtures of two or more of these. The partially aromatic polyamide is present in a range from about I to about 10 wt. % of said composition. The ionic compatibilizer is present in a range from about 0.1 to about 2.0 mol-% of said composition. The cobalt salt is present in a range from about 20 to about 500 ppm of said composition.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compositions of specific carboxylic acid, fatty acid or oil derivatives containing nitrile groups and methods of their preparation. The preparation involves a hydrocyanation reaction. A method of hydrogenating the nitrile containing carboxylic acid acids obtained by above hydrocyanation to produce amine containing carboxylic acids is also disclosed in this invention.
Abstract:
A process for producing a partially ester-exchanged SIPM such as an alkali metal bis(2-hydroxyethyl) 5-sulfoisophthalate produced from an alkali metal dimethyl 5-sulfoisophthalate in an alcohol is disclosed. The partially ester-exchanged SIPM in an alcohol can be used to copolymerize with oligomer of terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate and an alcohol. Also disclosed is a process for controlling the color of a dyeable polyester using a phosphorous compound.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for preparing tertiary amine compounds from primary amines and nitriles in the presence of hydrogen gas and a 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 are novel tertiary amine compounds made by the described method.
Abstract:
Reheat characteristics of polyethylene and polypropylene resins, including reheating time and resin color, are improved by adding to the resin carbon black with a primary particle size in the range of 200 to 500 nm as an infrared absorber. Thermal carbon blacks having this primary particle size are preferred over Furnace carbon blacks. Injection stretch-blow molded bottles and other thermoformed products are made from resins with carbon black infrared absorber.
Abstract:
Process for oxidizing cyclohexane in which oxygen is contacted with cyclohexane at a pre-selected feed rate in a first reaction zone and unconsumed oxygen is contacted with cyclohexane in a second reaction zone in which the cyclohexane feed rate is lower than the pre-selected feed rate.
Abstract:
A body-shaping garment (1) and fabric is provided. The garment includes an inner fabric (4) layer and an outer fabric layer (6) . The inner fabric layer is placed in an angular orientation relative to the outer fabric layer. Further, the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer have sufficiently isotropic hysteresis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sulfo-modified copolyester blend composition and polyglycolic acid. The blend of sulfo-modified copolyester and polyglycolic acid can be used to prepare containers with good transparency and high gas barrier properties. The preferred sulfo-modified copolyester composition comprises terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and 5-sulfoisophthalic acid. A method of preparing a blend of sulfo-modified copolyester and polyglycolic acid is disclosed, as well as master batch processes. The present invention also relates to a method of making a container wherein the sulfo-modified copolyester is blended with the polyglycolic acid at an injection molding machine used to make preforms, which are then blown into bottles.
