Abstract:
Provided is a method for preparing a liquid coating composition which comprises: (a) forming a mixture comprising a suspension of coarse solid particles which include a curable resin and a cross-linking agent that is reactive with the curable resin, the coarse solid particles having a mean particle size of about 30 mu m to 500 mu m, in an aqueous liquid medium comprising water and a surfactant; and (b) milling the mixture at a temperature of up to about 40 DEG C to form a coating composition comprising a suspension of fine solid particles having a mean particle size of about 0.1 mu m to 15 mu m suspended in the aqueous liquid medium.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a powder coating composition comprises: (a) forming a mixture comprising solid particles which include a curable resin and a cross-linking agent that is reactive with the curable resin suspended in an aqueous liquid phase comprising water, a surfactant, a stabilizer, and a promoter; (b) warming the mixture to a temperature sufficient to effect reshaping and rounding of the particles; (c) separating the particles from the liquid phase; and (d) drying the particles to form a powder.
Abstract:
This invention provides a method for preparing a powder coating composition having a particle size of from about 0.5 to 40 microns. Such compositions are especially useful in applications where a thin film (i.e., about 0.1 to 1.0 mil) is desired as well as applications where highly thermally reactive compositions are utilized. Optionally, the small particles are then pelletized and reground in a hammer-type mill to afford a composition having a particle size of approximately 30-40 microns. The method is especially useful for compositions which are designed to cure at a temperature at or below conventional extrusion temperatures, i.e., 90-130 DEG C.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for molding of polyester articles having low acetaldehyde content directly from a melt without intermediate solidification of the molten polyester. A melt to mold process is used wherein an acetaldehyde stripping agent is mixed into a polyester melt before devolatilization in a flash tank. The devolatilized polyester is pumped out of the flash tank and injected into a mold, thus forming a shaped article. The apparatus may include one or more flash tanks in one devolatilization line, or multiple devolatilization lines may be used stemming from one main polymerization reactor. The final shaped article should contain less than 10 ppm of acetaldehyde.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for producing molded polyester articles. More particularly, the invention concerns an apparatus and method for continuously producing molded polyester articles having low acetaldehyde content from a melt prepared by continuously reacting polyester precursors. The polyester is prepared and formed into useful shaped articles in a single integrated, continuous melt-to-mold process without an intermediate solidification of the melt.

Abstract:
A process for producing polyester articles, which generates little or no polyester waste. The process provides esterification or transesterification of one or more dicarboxylic acids or their dialkyl esters, polycondensation to produce a high molecular weight polyester, and molding or shaping of the polyester for produce the desired product. Scrap produced during the molding process is recycled back to the esterification or transesterification or polycondensation portion of the process. Optionally, the scrap may also be recycled to intermediate steps prior to the molding operation.
