Abstract:
The invention relates to thermoplastic molding compositions on the basis of polyoxymethylenes containing antimony trioxide as a nucleating agent. The compositions may be used to produce shaped articles with improved properties.
Abstract:
THE INVENTION RELATES TO THERMOPLASTIC MOLDING COMPOSITIONS ON THE BASIS OF POLYOXYMETHYLENES CONTAINING BORON NITRIDE AS A NUCLEATING AGENT IN AMOUNTS OF FROM 0.0005 TO 0.04% BY WEIGHT, RELATIVE TO THE TOTAL MIXTURE, AND THE PRODUCTION OF SHAPED ARTICLES WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES THEREFROM.
Abstract:
THE STABILIZATION OF POLYOXYMETHYLENES AGAINST OXIDATION AND THERMAL DECOMPOSITION IS CARRIED OUT BY ADDING A COMBINATION OF ALKALINE EARTH METAL COMPOUNDS AND ESTERS OF (ALKYL-HYDROXYPHENYL)-CARBOXYLIC ACIDS WITH POLYOLS. MOLDING COMPOSITIONS MADE FROM POLYOXYMETHYLENES SO STABILIZED MAY BE THERMOPLASTICALLY PROCESSED: THEY ARE SUITABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SEMI-FINISHED AND FINISHED GOODS.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic molding composition is composed of a linear poly(oxymethylene) and a graft copolymer the side chains of which consist essentially of oxymethylene groups. The said graft copolymer acts as a nucleating agent; its effectiveness is dependent on its amount, molecular weight and degree of grafting. Molded articles made of said composition show improved mechanical properties.
