Abstract:
The present invention provides a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer product from which a film having reduced fish eyes can be obtained and a method for producing an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer that is a precursor thereof. At the time of producing the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer, as a vinyl ester monomer, the oxygen concentration at storage and/or transportation is adjusted to from 2 to 8 ppm and the oxygen concentration at polymerization is adjusted to less than 2 ppm.
Abstract:
An environment-friendly adhesive composition is provided that includes about 10 to about 70 parts by weight of a tackifying agent base including an acryl-based attaching agent as a raw material, about 5 to about 40 parts by weight of a terpene-based tackiness improver, about 0.5 to about 5 parts by weight of an epoxy-based crosslinking agent, about 5 to about 60 parts by weight of a flame retardant, and a combination thereof, based on 100 parts by weight of a solvent excluding benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX). The flame retardant includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a halogen-based flame retardant, an antimony flame retardant, and a phosphorus-based flame retardant. The adhesive composition and a tape manufactured using the same may be used exclusively in a vehicle industry, and in various electronic industries.
Abstract:
A high pressure polymerization process to form an ethylene-based polymer comprises the steps of: A. Injecting a first feed comprising a chain transfer agent system (CTA system) and ethylene into a first autoclave reactor zone operating at polymerization conditions to produce a first zone reaction product, the CTA system of the first reactor zone having a transfer activity Z1; and B. (1) Transferring at least part of the first zone reaction product to a second reactor zone selected from a second autoclave reactor zone or a tubular reactor zone and operating at polymerization conditions, and, optionally, (2) freshly injecting, a second feed into the second reactor zone to produce a second zone reaction product, with the proviso that at least one of the first reactor zone product and the freshly injected feed comprises a CTA system with a transfer activity of Z2; and with the proviso that the ratio of Z1:Z2 is greater than 1.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for preparing a polymer comprising a step (EI) for dispersed phase polymerization in the presence of a reactive stabiliser, wherein the following are brought into contact in an aqueous phase:—at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer; —at least one source of free radicals; and—a reactive stabiliser comprising a polymer chain including monomer units (N-vinyl lactam) and a thiocarbonylthio-S group (C═S)—.
Abstract:
The invention is a formulation for use in the manufacture of carpets. The formulation is combined with polymers such as, but not limited to, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA, a co-polymer) to provide carpet backing formulations which exhibit excellent tensile strength. The formulation of the invention can be provided to carpet manufacturers as a separate product to be added later to a polymer for a use in carpet backings. Alternatively, the formulation can be added to a polymer such as EVA or compositions comprising EVA and then applied to a carpet backing to provide a carpet with a carpet backing exhibiting excellent tensile strength.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a floor covering adhesive composition, based on an aqueous, emulsifier-stabilized polymer dispersion of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer, containing A) tackifying resin, B) one or more fillers, and C) a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer in the form of an emulsifier-stabilized aqueous dispersion, characterized in that the vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer is obtained by radical-initiated emulsion polymerization in an aqueous medium, of a) 60 to 89.9% by weight of vinyl acetate, b) 10 to 36% by weight of ethylene, c) 0 to 2% by weight of one or more monomers selected from the group of vinyl esters of carboxylic acids having 8 to 12 C atoms and acrylic acid alkyl esters having a C to C8 alkyl radical, d) 0.1 to 5% by weight of one or more ethylenically unsaturated auxiliary monomers having a carboxylic acid group, amide group, nitrile group or sulfonic acid (salt) group, wherein the percentages stated in % by weight are each in relation to the total weight of the comonomers and add up to 100% by weight, and the polymerization is carried out in the presence of one or more emulsifiers.
