The present invention is a stabilizer composition for vinyl chloride resins comprising: (A) an organic acid calcium salt and/or an organic acid zinc salt, (B) a β-diketone compound and (C) a blue pigment, wherein the ratio by mass (A):(B) of said components (A) and (B) ranges from 99.9:0.1 to 15.0:85.0 and the content of said component (C) ranges from 0.1 to 5.0 parts by mass relative to the total of 100 parts by mass of said components (A) and (B).
Abstract:
Moisture curable elastomer compositions are highly suitable for use as sealants, and initially contain an organopolysiloxane having condensable groups, a tri-acyloxy functional organosilicon compound, and as fillers, anhydrite and silica. The compositions have very low modulus and accommodate high joint movement, while being storage stable
Abstract:
Embodiments of organic peroxide formulations provide significant improvements in surface tackiness (often including tack-free surfaces) when curing elastomers in the presence of oxygen. The peroxide formulations may include, for example, one or more compounds selected from sulfur-containing compounds, organophosphite compounds, HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer) compounds, aliphatic allyl urethane compounds, and blends comprising nitroxides (e.g., 4-hydroxy-TEMPO) and quinones (e.g., mono-tert-butylhydroquinone).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a moisture-curing sealant comprising a) at least one silane-functional polymer and b) at least one catalyst for the crosslinking of the silane-functional polymer, said sealant being free of organotin compounds and having, in the cured state, a secant modulus at 100% elongation and 23° C., determined to ISO 8339, of less than 0.4 MPa and a resilience at 100% elongation, determined to ISO 7389, of greater than 70%. The sealant is especially suitable as a construction sealant of the 25LM class according to DIN EN ISO 11600, especially as a facade sealant, or as a sealant according to ASTM C719 Class 50.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an anticorrosive coating composition. In order to provide an anticorrosive coating composition which cures at room temperature, provision is made for the anticorrosive coating composition to comprise at least one polysiloxane and metal particles and also at least one crosslinker, the coating composition crosslinking chemically at room temperature. The invention further relates to a method for applying the anticorrosive coating composition and also to the coated substrate.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a halogen-free fire-retardant polyamide composition, and a preparation method and application thereof. The halogen-free fire-retardant polyamide composition is prepared from 35 to 71.5% of a semi-aromatic polyamide, 10 to 35% of a fire retardant and 0 to 50% of an inorganic reinforcing filler, the terminal amino group content of the semi-aromatic polyamide being 80 to 150 mol/t. The halogen-free fire-retardant polyamide composition of the present invention has good heat stability and releases only a small amount of gas in production; mold dirt is not easily formed, and the halogen-free fire-retardant polyamide composition can be produced continuously.
Abstract:
The invention relates to isocyanate-free elastomer adhesives based on hybrid urethane-acrylate epoxies. The hybrid shows properties consistent for structural adhesives with excellent mechanical and thermal stability, and low read-through. The adhesives are suitable for use in industry, e.g., as adhesives for automotive applications.

Abstract:
A method includes heating a sulfonated polyester resin in an organic-free solvent adding an aqueous solution of silver (I) ion to the heated resin to form a mixture and heating the mixture to effect the reduction of silver (I) ion to silver (0) in the absence of an external reducing agent. A composite includes a sulfonated polyester matrix and a plurality of silver nanoparticles dispersed within the matrix; the composite lacks trace residual byproducts from external reducing agents.
