Abstract:
Flame retardant additive for plastics, compositions containing the additive, and methods for preparing the additives and compositions. The additives include a halostyrene-glycidyl (meth)acrylate copolymer. The compositions include a thermoplastic substrate requiring flame retardancy and copolymers of a halostyrene and glycidyl (meth)acrylate.
Abstract:
A free-flowing silicone polymer powder, having an average particle size of 1 to 1000 microns and prepared by mixing a polydiorganosiloxane with a silica filler, is uniformly dispersed in an organic resin using conventional equipment, such as a single screw or, preferably, a twin screw extruder. When employed at a concentration of about 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of powder per 100 parts by weight of resin, a significant improvement in the burn character of the modified resin is obtained such that the rate of heat release, generation of smoke and evolution of toxic carbon monoxide gas is significantly reduced relative to the unmodified resin.

Abstract:
A Logicore construction board, a method and a composition thereof involve use of lignite ash-slag, wood waste particles and a synthetic adhesive. Lignite ash-slag is a waste mineral product which is widely available, but presently has no use. The present invention solves an important ecological problem by converting the waste product into a useful product. Lignite ash-slag and a synthetic adhesive of urea-formaldehyde resin of P-type and a hardener of a predetermined resin to hardener ratio are first mixed. Separately, wood particles and the synthetic adhesive of a predetermined resin to hardener ratio are mixed. The two mixtures of the lignite ash-slag and the wood particles are then mixed together. The combined mixtures are then poured to form a blanket and then pressed at a room temperature followed by a heat press to form a board. The board is water-proof, fire-proof and corrosion-resistant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved polymeric compositions based on ethylene-vinyl ester and ethylene-alkyl acrylate copolymers which can be crosslinked to provide insulation coatings for wire and cable products. The copolymer compositions contain a hydrated inorganic filler, an alkoxysilane, an antioxidant and a polymeric processing additive. Organic peroxides are preferably employed to facilitate crosslinking. An improved method for providing the improved compositions and electrical conductors coated with the crosslinkable polymeric compositions are also provided by the invention.
Abstract:
A silicone cyclic, such as hexaorganotrisiloxane is lithiated with an alkyl lithium compound followed by treatment with a diorganohalosilane to produce a polydiorganosiloxane having a terminal diorganohydridesiloxy unit. The platinum catalyzed addition of a 2-alkenyl-6-organophenol results in the production of a phenol-siloxane macromer. Conversion of the phenol-siloxane macromer to a silicone polyphenylene ether graft copolymer is effected by oxidatively coupling the 2,6-diorganophenol to the phenol-siloxane macromer.
