摘要:
This invention provides a unique method of producing 1,1-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane ('BPTMC'). The disclosed method manufactures BPTMC from ketals and hemithioketals of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone ('TMC'). The reaction takes place in the presence of an acid catalyst, and optionally added co-catalysts. Additionally, applicants have disclosed a particularly useful method of manufacturing BPTMC from TMC and alcohol and/or thiol starting materials. These starting materials react to form the TMC ketal or thioketal materials. This method is particularly useful in that it allows recovery and recycling of the alcohol and/or thiol.
摘要:
A process for reclaiming crosslinked acrylic scrap. The process comprising comminuting a predominantly (or completely) crosslinked acrylic or methacrylate polymer with an optionally added co-blend of uncrosslinked thermoplastic polymer. This comminuting process taking place in a screw-type extruder wherein high levels of shear are imparted to the polymer(s). These products can be processed with residual monomer content below 0.5 wt.% and without emission of said monomer. These products can be processed into pellet form or extruded into a thermoformable sheet having a smooth matte finish and improved impact resistance.
