Abstract:
Linear thermoplastic polyesters obtained from aromatic dicarboxylic acids and diols are modified with dimeric acids. As a result of the lowering in the melt viscosity, processing at lower temperatures is made possible by this means, while the mechanical properties are only slightly changed.
Abstract:
Linear polyesters based on terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid and containing di-(hydroxyalkyl) compounds of oligomeric N,N-heterocyclic compounds as the diol component, have higher glass transition temperatures compared with poly-(alkylene) terephthalates. The new polyesters are thermoplastic materials suitable for the manufacture, by customary moulding processes, of mouldings having a higher heat distortion point.
Abstract:
Glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyester moulding compositions which contain poly(2,4,6-tribromostyrene) range from flame-resistant to flameproof and exhibit improved toughness properties. These moulding compositions can be used for the manufacture of shaped articles of all kinds, in accordance with the known processes.
Abstract:
Moulding compositions based on thermoplastic polyesters can be effectively protected against thermal degradation, if they contain, as a first stabilizer, a polyepoxide compound and, as a second stabilizer, a bisoxazoline or a dicarboxylic acid imide or amide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to plastics moulding compounds which have been flame-proofed with organic chlorine- or bromine-containing compounds, said moulding compounds containing at least one aerosol selected from the group comprising the highly dispersed silicates, highly dispersed alumina, and highly dispersed titanium dioxide, and, optionally, a dibasic or tribasic oxyacid of phosphorus or an ester thereof. These moulding compounds have a reduced corrosive action on contact metals.
Abstract:
Oligomeric, essentially linear epoxide resins with chlorine-containing and/or bromine-containing benzimidazolone radicals in the oligomer chain are particularly suitable as flameproofing agents for thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers.
Abstract:
Copolyesters formed from 1,4-butanediol and a dicarboxylic acid mixture of, relative to the polyester, 8-12 mol % of sebacic acid or of an amount equal by weight of a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 6 to 36 C atoms, 26-32 mol % of terephthalic acid and 7.5 to 12 mol % of isophthalic acid are hot melt adhesives which are characterized by resistance to ageing even at elevated temperatures, good adhesive strength and a relatively high heat resistance of the bonded areas.
Abstract:
Thermoplastic copolyesters which have a minimum relative viscosity of 1.4 and contain, based on the polyester, (a) 40-50 mol % of units of terephthalic acid, (b) 0-10 mol % of units of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or other aromatic dicarboxylic acids, (c) 15-30 mol % of units of ethylene glycol, (d) 34.5-15 mol % of units of diethylene glycol and (e) 0.5-5 mol % of units of polybutylene glycol with a molecular weight of 650 or the same amount by weight with a molecular weight of between 400 and 4,000, it being possible for up to 10 mol % of the units of ethylene glycol and/or diethylene glycol to be replaced by units of alkylenediols having 3 to 10 C atoms and/or units of a bisphenol dihydroxyalkyl ether, are outstandingly suitable as hot-melt adhesives.
Abstract:
The melt phase reaction and/or solid phase reaction for the manufacture of polyesters is accelerated by adding a polycarbonate and a phosphorus containing stabilizer to the reaction mixture before completion of the reaction.
Abstract:
Linear, homo- and copolymers that contain as condensation components amidocarboxylic acid radicals, imidocarboxylic acid radicals or dicarboxylic acid radicals containing two carbocyclic rings with 4 to 6 members and diol radicals containing N,N-heterocyclic rings, and which can contain in addition terephthalic and/or isophthalic acid and/or other diols, are amorphous to faintly crystalline, have high glass transition temperatures while at the same time having low softening temperatures, and are suitable for the manufacture of mouldings of all kinds with good thermomechanical properties.
