Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing shrink films, comprising: A) 20 to 90 wt % of a biodegradable aliphatic aromatic polyester; B) 10 to 80 wt % of one or more polymers selected from the group comprising: polylactic acid, polypropylene carbonate, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxyalkanoate, chitosan, gluten, and one or more aliphatic/aromatic polyesters such as polybutylene succinate, polybutylene succinate-adipate, or polybutylene succinate-sebacate, polybutylene terephthalate-coadipate; and C) 0 to 2 wt % of a compatibility agent, wherein a blow up ratio of less than or equal to 4:1 is selected.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for recycling paper products glued and/or coated with polymers, wherein the paper products glued and/or coated with polymers are placed in an aqueous wastepaper suspension, said wastepaper suspension a) is broken down in the presence of at least one hydrolase, b) is broken down in an alkaline medium, and/or c) is treated in a de-inking process in an alkaline medium, and the polymers are subsequently separated from the wastepaper suspension, wherein the polymers are biodegradable polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to aliphatic-aromatic polyesters comprising: i) 40 to 60 mol %, based on components i to ii, of one or more dicarboxylic acid derivatives selected from the group consisting of: sebacic acid, azelaic acid and brassylic acid; ii) 40 to 60 mol %, based on components i to ii, of a terephthalic acid derivative; iii) 98 to 102 mol %, based on components i to ii, of 1,3-propanediol or 1,4-butanediol and iv) 0.01 to 5 wt.-%, based on the total weight of components i to iii, of a chain extender and/or cross-linking agent selected from the group consisting of: a polyfunctional isocyanate, isocyanurate, oxazoline, carboxylic acid anhydride, epoxide and/or an at least trifunctional alcohol or an at least trifunctional carboxylic acid. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the polyesters, to polyester mixtures comprising said polyesters and to the use of said polyesters and polyester mixtures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for increasing the hydrolysis resistance of biodegradable polyesters based on aliphatic or aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids and on aliphatic dihydroxy compounds, or a mixture of these polyesters, characterized in that from 0.1 to 5% by weight of a copolymer containing epoxy groups and based on styrene, acrylate and/or methacrylate is admixed in the extruder at from 160 to 260°C with the biodegradable polyester. It further relates to a process for increasing melt viscosity and to a process for increasing the stability of the melt of biodegradable polyesters under shear.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a well fluid comprising at least one oligoglucosamine and/or a salt thereof and a drilling process wherein said well fluid is applied. Further, the present invention is directed to the use of oligoglucosamines and/or salts thereof in the development, exploitation and completion of underground mineral oil and natural gas deposits and in deep wells.
