Abstract:
An improved polymer and a process for the preparation of impact resistant styrene graft copolymers. Ethylene-propylenetercomponent-rubber is dissolved in styrene, then acrylonitrile is added to a styrene to acrylo-nitrile ratio of 6/1 to 4/1, the polymerization is carried out in the mass until the end of the phase transition, further acrylonitrile, and optionally further styrene, is added and the polymerization is completed in the mass or in suspension.

A polyethylene molding composition which consists of 50 to 80 % by weight of a HD polyethylene having a very broad bimodal molecular mass distribution and 20 to 50 % by weight of a chemical LLD polyethylene or LD poly- ethylene gives pipes, plates and sheets which have very good long-term and low-temperature characteristics.
Abstract:
of the disclosure: There is disclosed a process for preparing impact resistant styrene graft copolymers having improved properties, especially a high gloss. They are obtained by polymerizing a solution of an EPTR in a mixture of styrene and acrylonitrile in one step (mass polymerization) or two steps (mass/ suspension polymerization) in the presence of an organic peroxide and submitting the polymer to a two step extrusion, the first step being carried out at temperatures of from 130 to 240.degree.C, the second step at temperatures of from 200 to 280.degree.C, and providing that during the second extrusion step a quantity of about 0.05 to about 0.5% by weight of the organic peroxide is still present.

1334150 Preparation of foamable styrene polymer beads by suspension polymerization FARBWERKE HOECHST AG 15 Nov 1971 [16 Nov 1970] 52950/71 Headings C3P and C3C In a process for the production of foamable styrene polymer beads by suspension polymerizing styrene with or without up to 10% by weight of an alkyl styrene or nuclear halogenated styrene or up to 10% by weight of an acrylic or methacrylic acid ester, acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride, a vinyl ester or a vinyl polysiloxane, in the presence of a blowing agent, the protective colloid for the suspension is 0À02-0À08% by wt. based on the total monomer, of a copolymer of 98-99À5% by wt. of an N-vinyl-N- alkyl acetamide in which the alkyl is C 1-4 , and from 2-0À5% by wt. of a C 6-18 aliphaticalcohol ester of acrylic, methacrylic, maleic, or fumaric acid, said copolymer having a Fickentscher K value of 70-120, measured as a 1% methanol solution at 20‹ C. The preferred protective colloid is a copolymer of N-vinyl-N- methyl acetamide and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. Other suitable comonomers for the N-vinyl-N- alkylacetamide are n-hexyl acrylate, decyl methacrylate, dodecyl maleate and stearyl fumarate. Blowing agents specified are npentane, isopentane, cyclopentane, hexane, petroleum ether, and halogenated hydrocarbons such as CFCl 3 , CF 2 Cl 2 , CH 3 Cl, and CH 2 Cl 2 . Nucleating agents for pore regulation may also be present, such as hexabromocyclododecane, tetrabromobutane, tris(dibromopropylphosphate), brominated butadiene oligomers and chlorine compounds such as chloro-paraffins and P.V.C., and polysiloxanes. The initiators used are conventional. Other additives such as flame retarders, plasticizers &c. may also be present. The blowing agent may be added before or during polymerization.
Abstract:
PROCESS FOR PREPARING IMPACT RESISTANT POLYVINYL AROMATICS of the disclosure The invention relates to novel impact resistant graft copolymers of a vinyl aromatic on an EPTR especially characterized by an improved notched impact strengnth and resistancy to atmospheric corrosion, and a process for their preparation. Said copolymers are obtained by a two-step mass suspension polymerization process characterized by the presence of oxygen, preferably by the presence of air, at a pressure of from 0.05 to 10 atmospheres gauge during the course of the mass polymerization step.
Abstract:
Bromine-containing phosphonic acid esters of the formula OO-CH2CH2R' PARALLEL R-P ANGLE ANGLE C ANGLE O-CH2CH2R'' in which R represents a halogen-containing linear or branched aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and R' and R'' are hydrogen, halogen or alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may be closed to form a ring and/or substituted by halogen, at least one substituent being a bromine atom, are suitable as flame retardants for plastic materials, especially polystyrene and styrene copolymers.
