Abstract:
A process for the continuous agglomeration of granular tetrafluoroethylene polymer powders which cannot be processed from the melt to give molding powders having a high bulk density, an improved powder flow and particle stability and a narrow particle size distribution is described. In this process, the powder to be agglomerated is first introduced uniformly into a pretreatment stage and is dispersed and pre-agglomerated in this stage in the liquid agglomeration medium, composed of water and an organic liquid capable of wetting polytetrafluoroethylene, is then agglomerated to the desired average particle diameter in an agglomeration stage and is finally treated further in an after-treatment stage in order to develop the final shape of the particles. Finally, the powder is separated from the liquid medium and is dried. This makes it possible to obtain, in an economical manner and with excellent processing properties, high-grade agglomerated molding powders of such tetrafluoroethylene polymers, in particular of such polymers which have been modified with small quantities of perfluoro-(alkyl-vinyl) ethers.

1329177 Plate heat exchangers FARBWERKE HOECHST AG 19 April 1971 [17 Feb 1970] 21981/71 Heading F4S In a plate heat exchanger comprising separating sheets 3 disposed between adjacent grooved plates 1, 2, heat exchange between two media flowing through the grooves takes place through the separating sheets 3. The plates 1, 2 and the sheets 3 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The heat exchange media are led into and removed from the respective arrays of grooves in the plates via socket connections (9, 10, Fig. 4) provided in end plates 4, 8 or the heat exchanger stack. The plates 4 are of steel; the plates 8, which are of polytetrafluoroethylene, have distribution channels therein. A series arrangement, as shown, or parallel arrangement (see Fig. 2) may be used to distribute the media to the respective arrays of grooves in the stack.

Material in hopper 1, which is rotated by motor 2 engaging gear 3 and supported on rollers 4 is stirred by agitating screw 7 which moves the material upwards whilst conveyer screw 8 discharges the material downwards through shoot 9. The shaft of screw 7 is formed hollow to receive the shaft of screw 8 and the two may be driven, via a clutch 14 (not shown), together or separately to provide flexibility.
