Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of thermoplastic moulding compounds comprising: A) 30 - 99 wt.% of a thermoplastic polyamide, B) 0.01 - 10 wt.% of an organic isocyanate or diisocyanate or mixtures thereof, C) 0 - 60 wt.% additional additives, the total weight percentage A) - C) being 100 %. The invention also relates to the production of moulded bodies of any type with improved haze (measured according to ASTM D1003) and/or improved clarity (measured according to ASTM D1003) and/or increased laser transparency (measured at a wavelength of 1064 nm by means of a thermoelectric power measurement).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for continuously producing polyamide oligomers. The method comprises continuously conveying an aqueous solution of polyamide-forming monomers from a storage vessel into an oligomerisation reactor, heating the aqueous solution beyond a dissolution or storage temperature, wherein the dwell time of the monomer solution in the oligomerisation reactor is limited in such a way and the pressure or the partial vapour pressure of the water is set in such a way that a conversion of monomers into polyamide oligomers does not exceed a maximum value and/or the produced polyamide oligomers do not phase-separate as a solid or spontaneously crystallise, and continuously discharging the polyamide oligomers from the oligomerisation reactor. A polyamide oligomer that can be produced in accordance with said method can be continuously provided in a mixture with water and then post-condensed into a polyamide in a method for producing a semicrystalline or amorphous polyamide that can be thermoplastically processed. Said polyamide can be used to produce shaped parts by means of injection moulding, multi-component injection moulding, injection moulding welding, extrusion, coextrusion, blow moulding, or deep drawing.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamide oligomer. According to the invention, an aqueous composition of the monomers is oligomerized at elevated temperature and elevated pressure and the product obtained by oligomerization is preferably expanded.
Abstract:
