Abstract:
The invention relates to resin compositions comprising a) at least one amorphous semi-aromatic polyamide; b) at least two semi-crystalline polyamides, b1) and b2) and c) at least one glass reinforcement agent and shaped articles thereof showing a good balance of properties in terms of good mechanical properties, excellent surface appearance and reduced sink marks.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a molded or extruded thermoplastic article including a polyamide composition including (a) a polyamide resin (b) 0.1 to 10 weight percent of one or more polyhydric alcohols (c) 0 to 3 weight percent of a co-stabilizer selected from the group consisting of secondary aryl amines, hindered amine light stabilizers, and mixtures thereof; (d) 0 to less than 10 weight percent of one or more reinforcement agents; and (e) 0 to 50 weight percent polymeric toughener including a reactive functional group and/or a metal salt of a carboxylic acid; and wherein 4 mm test bars prepared from the polyamide composition, and exposed at an test temperature of 150° C. for a test period of about 1000 hours, have, on average, a retention of strain at break of greater than 80 percent compared with a control exposed at the said test temperature for 72 hours.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a monolayer tube comprising a melt-blended thermoplastic composition consisting essentially of (A) a polyamide resin selected from the group consisting of PA 614, PA 616, PA 618 and blends of these; and optionally: (B) one or more polymeric toughener(s); (C) one or more plasticizer(s); and (D) one or more functional additive(s); wherein the weight percent of (A), (B), (C), and (D) are based on the total weight of the melt-blended thermoplastic composition.

Abstract:
Thermoplastic compositions which are painted (coated) have improved adhesion to the paint when these compositions comprise a hydrophilic polyether or polyester modified siloxane. These thermoplastic compositions are particularly suited for use with aqueous based paints, in uses such as automobile and appliance bodies and parts.
