Abstract:
A PES/PC blend having enhanced properties as virgin material and as recyclate comprises:A) at least one metal oxide or metal salt of a fatty acid; andB) at least one phosphite and at least one sterically hindered phenol orat least one difunctional epoxy resin ora combination of both.
Abstract:
An increase in the molecular weight of virgin polycondensates and polycondensate recyclates can be achieved by heating to above the melting point or glass transition temperature and by the addition of diphosphonite.
Abstract:
Recycled plastics, predominandy thermoplastics, from domestic, commercial and industrial waste can be stabilized against thermooxidative degradation by adding a combination of a sterically hindered phenol with an organic phosphite or phosphonite and a metal salt of a fatty acid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to stabilized recycled plastics, which can be obtained from domestic, commercial and industrial waste or valuable material collections, comprising a macrocyclic compounds containing a radical of formula (I) or (II), in the macrocycle or in a side group of the macrocycle, where the macrocycle comprises at least 8 atoms and in which the substituents R, independently of one another, are methyl, ethyl or propyl, or two radicals R on the same carbon atom are, together, a pentamethylene radical, and a is the number 0, 1 or 2. The invention also relates to a process for the stabilization of recycled plastics and to the use of the above macrocyclic compounds as stabilizer. ##STR1##
Abstract:
An increase in the molecular weight of a polyamide or recycled polyamide, essentially without crosslinking, can be achieved by blending said polyamide with a polyfunctional epoxy resin and a sterically hindered hydroxyphenylalkylphosphonic acid ester or half-ester and heating the blend to above the melting point (or the glass transition temperature) of the polyamide, in the absence of a catalyst of the type used in the polymerization of polyamides.
Abstract:
An increase in the molecular weight of polyester and recycled polyester can be achieved by blending said polyester with a difunctional epoxy resin and a sterically hindered hydroxyphenylalkylphosphonic acid ester or half-ester and heating the blend to above the melting point (glass transition temperature) of the polyester.
Abstract:
A polyester/polycarbonate (PES/PC) blend having enhanced properties as virgin material and as recyclate comprises a) at least one phosphite, b) at least one sterically hindered phenol, c) at least one compound promoting the reaction of an epoxy resin with a PES/PC blend which is a Lewis base, and d) at least one difunctional epoxy resin, with 0.01 to 10 parts of component c) being used per 100 parts of PES/PC blend.
Abstract:
The invention relates to stabilized PVDC-containing PVC, preferably a PVC recyclate, comprising as polymer at least 50% by weight of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and 0.05-50% by weight of PVDC and additionally comprising at least one inorganic compound of the series of the metal oxides, metal hydroxides or metal carbonates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing particles which comprise at least one halogen-free flame retardant and which comprise at least one metal oxide or semimetal oxide, where the particle can be a core-shell particle with flame retardant in the core and metal oxide or semimetal oxide in the shell, or a particle in which the distribution of flame retardant and a metal oxide or semimetal oxide is in essence homogeneous. The present invention further relates to particles comprising at least one halogen-free flame retardant and comprising at least one metal oxide or semimetal oxide, to a polymer molding composition comprising said particles and comprising at least one thermoplastic or thermoset polymer, and also to the use of said particles in polymer molding compositions or for providing flame retardancy to polymer molding compositions.
Abstract:
Plastic films, fibers and articles are provided long-term antimicrobial activity with a combination of certain phenolic and inorganic antimicrobial agents. The plastic films, fibers and articles with antimicrobial activity exhibit superior resistance to discoloration, may be processed at high temperature, and maintain physical properties upon weathering, especially upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
