Abstract:
A melt-processed polyolefin composition or composite includes a polyolefin compounded with a hindered amine light stabilizer, an organodisulfide antioxidant, and silver sulfate as an antimicrobial agent. A process of preparing such a composite includes compounding all of the compounds in various orders as long as the silver sulfate is added after the hindered amine light stabilizer is added to the polymer.

Methods and compositions of matter that improve the specular gloss retention and mar resistance of articles made from amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers by employing a combination of polydialkylsiloxane and at least one additive selected from the group of organic amines, organic acids, triazynyl compounds, inorganic salts or bases, grafted or copolymerized polyolefins, and aluminum hydroxide.
Abstract:
A process for producing a cycloolefin resin composition comprising a cycloolefin resin and an additive by using a twin-screw extruder is provided, in which loss of the additive caused by volatilization through a vent during kneading is reduced and kneading of resin material with the additive can be sufficiently carried out. When the cycloolefin resin and the additive are kneaded by using a vented twin-screw extruder (10) to produce the cycloolefin resin composition containing the additive, an additive introduction opening (3) is disposed downstream of a vent (2) located nearest to a discharge opening (13) of the twin-screw extruder, and the additive is charged through the additive introduction opening located at a distance from the discharge opening of the twin-screw extruder in the range between longer than 10D and not longer than 30D.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to resin pellets which comprises a thermoplastic resin (A) and an oxidation catalyst (B) which is not supported by any carrier, wherein if the peak area in the vicinity of 1715 cm−1 is defined to be Ic and the peak area observed in the vicinity of 1470 cm−1 is defined to be Im in the IR spectroscopic measurement of the pellets, the ratio: Ic/Im observed for the surface of the pellet is greater than that observed for the interior thereof. The pellets are thermoplastic resin pellets excellent in the oxygen-absorbing capacity and accordingly, they can suitably used as pellets for molding an oxygen absorptive resin article.
Abstract:
Aqueous dispersions on non-melt flowable PTFE and melt-fabricable perfluoropolymer are mixed together, followed by recovery of the resultant mixture of the dispersed particles of each of these polymers, and melt mixing of the resultant mixture of particles to obtain a blend in which the PTFE particles form the disperse phase and the perfluoropolymer forms the continuous phase, the melt mixing producing advantageous melt viscosities and the blend exhibiting advantageous physical properties even at high PTFE contents of about 30 wt %.
Abstract:
A material composition comprises, on the one hand, a particulate material and, on the other hand, a binder which is provided as a coating on the material particles. The binder has at least two solid phases (13, 14), of which one harder phase (14) is configurationally stable and a softer phase (13) is plastic and readily deformable at temperatures below the melting point of the binder. A method for producing the above material comprises the steps that at least two components included in the binder are melted and mixed, whereafter kneading takes place during cooling. The material composition is usable, for example, as a play material, educational material, for sculptures or prototypes or as landscape architectonic material.
Abstract:
A process of preparation of an antimicrobial powder coating composition comprising the steps: a) transforming a natural antimicrobial agent into a salt-form and micronizing the resulting antimicrobial salt into powder, b) mixing at least one of the natural antimicrobial salt together with at least one amino-reactive thermoplastic binder resin, c) subjecting the mixture to a melt compounding process at a temperature in a range of 80 to 230° C., at a residence time period in a range of 5 to 60 seconds, using at least one co-rotating twin-screw extruder with a soft screw design having conveying elements offering a high D/d ratio and having mixing forward kneading block elements, d) cooling the extrudate, and e) micronizing into powder particles. The process forms a powder coating composition containing a natural antimicrobial agent which results in high quality antimicrobial coatings showing a homogeneous distribution of the antimicrobial agent in the coating and a stable antimicrobial activity.
Abstract:
A pulverized thermoplastic resin product such as a pulverized thermoplastic product containing a black pigment, a mixture of a pulverized thermoplastic product containing a colored pigment and a pulverized thermoplastic product containing a colored pigment, or a pulverized thermoplastic product containing two or more different colored pigments can be converted into colored reclaimed resin particles by a method comprising the steps of mixing the pulverized resin product with a white pigment and a black pigment, melting the resulting mixture, and converting the molten mixture into solid particles. The colored reclaimed resin products can be utilized in various field.
Abstract:
Polymer materials that have been previously melt formed and cooled, can be reused in subsequent melt processes without undue degradation in one or more aesthetic or functional properties. The addition of phosphorous facilitates the reuse of the previously melt formed and cooled mixture of polymer material, e.g., commingled post consumer regrind and/or commingled plant scrap regrind. The processed mixture can then be reused in a significantly higher amount (than is possible without the phosphorous material) in a subsequently melt formed article without producing an undesirable amount of, for example yellowing, haze and/or reduction in melt viscosity. The reprocessed material may further provide increased layer compatibility in a subsequently formed multilayer article.
