Abstract:
The object of the present invention is polycarbonate molding compositions containing polycarbonates, stabilizers of the general formula (I) R.sub.1 --X--CZ--Y--R.sub.2 and optionally polypropylene glycols. The object of the present invention is also use of these molding compositions to produce items for medical applications.
Abstract:
A process for producing an aliphatic-aromatic polycarbonate is disclosed. The process comprise (A) reacting in an anhydrous neutral solvent (i) an oligocarbonate of diphenol with (ii) an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and (B) eliminating the hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide by-products. The oligocarbonate of diphenol is characterized in that it is terminated by chlorocarbonic acid ester groups. The resins thus prepared are readily molded conventionally.
Abstract:
A carbonate corresponding to formula (I) ##STR1## in which R is aromatically bound polystyrene moiety and --O--D--O-- is a diphenolate moiety in which --D-- is a divalent group containing 6 to 30 carbon atoms and r is 0 or 1 is disclosed. The carbonate is useful as a flow aid for thermoplastic molding compositions.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the purification of lacquer-and optionally dye and metal- containing waste of thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonates and/or thermoplastic aromatic polyester carbonates. The waste which result upon the production of moldings, such as audio compact discs, lenses for spectacles or head-lamp reflectors is processed in accordance with the invention to yield useful resin suitable for reprocessing as a molding resin. In accordance with the process, the waste is first size-reduced and then heated with acid to the reflux temperature while stirring. After a water wash there is followed a drying step. In accordance with the process, in instances where the waste does not originally contain metal, the metal in powder form is added before the acid treatment.
Abstract:
A process for the production of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (BPA) is disclosed. The process that entails reacting acetone with phenol in the presence of cross-linked sulfonated polystyrene resins is characterised in that BPA is separated from the reaction solution downstream of the reaction unit by means of a multi-stage vacuum distillation and a subsequent single- or multi-stage layer crystallisation. The by-product stream with accumulated by-products is returned downstream of the reaction unit.
Abstract:
Monodisperse cation-exchangers and anon-exchangers are conditioned by a process and thereafter used as catalysts and for the production of bisphenols.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of bis(4-hydroxyaryl)alkanes by an acid-catalyzed reaction between aromatic hydroxy compounds and ketones, in which the temperature, ketone content and water content of a liquid reaction mixture are adjusted by means of a suitably composed gas phase.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for working up the residual mother liquors from the production of dihydroxydiarylalkanes (bisphenols) discharged from the process once the bisphenol has been separated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the synthesis of bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-alkanes on ion-exchange resins or mixtures of ion-exchange resins which are modified with alkyl-SH groups, wherein the monophenols and carbonyl compounds to be used have first been purified to remove substances which can transfer alkyl groups.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the continuous production of dihydroxydiarylalkanes (bisphenols) by the reaction of fresh phenol, phenol and isoalkenylphenol from the decomposition of by-products, and ketone. In this process the bulk of the bisphenol is recovered from the reaction mixture by crystallization and the mother liquor obtained is freed from phenol by distillation. The phenol is returned to the reaction and the bottoms obtained during the distillation are decomposed in a reactive rectification after addition of a basic catalyst. The phenol and isoalkenylphenol leaving at the top are led back into the reaction; the bottoms from the first reactive column are acidified and in a second reactive rectification, in the presence of an acid catalyst, are further decomposed into phenol, which distils off and is reused in the reaction, and bottoms, which are disposed of.
