THE PROCESS OF REDUCING THE VISOCITY OF A STABLE RUBBER LATEX AND INCREASING THE AVERAGE LATEX PARTICLE SIZE OF CERTAIN RUBBER LATICES, COMPRISING FORCING THE LATEX THROUGH A CONSTRICTION AT A PRESSURE DEOP OF AT LEAST 750 P.S.I. AND RECOVERING THE LATEX AS A STABLE EMULSION.

POLYMERS SUCH AS OLEFIN POLYMERS ARE RECOVERED FROM SOLUTION IN VOLATILE HYDROCARBON OR HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON LIKE TOLUENE OR CARBON TETRACHLORIDE, BY DISPERSING THE SOLUTION IN A LIQUID LIKE WATER WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY IMMISICIBLE WITH THE SOLVENT AND WITH THE POLYMER AND THEN INTRODUCING THE DISPERSION INTO A BODY OF HEATED LIQUID LIKE WATER KEPT AT A TEMPERATURE THAT CAUSES THE SOLVENT TO RAPIDLY VAPORIZE OFF. RECOVERY OF VAPORIZED SOLVENT IS EXCELLENT AND POLYMER IS ALSO EASILY SEPARATED OUT FROM THE HEATED BODY OF LIQUID. STREAMS OF STEAM CAN BE INTRODUCED INTO THE BODY OF LIQUID AROUND THE INTRODUCED DISPERSION. THE PROCESS CAN BE CARRIED OUT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS USING STREAMS OF THE LIQUIDS AND SOLUTION, WITHOUT MUCH DANGER OF CLOGGING THE SOLUTION-INTRODUCING MEANS.

SEPARATION OF SULFUR-CURABLE ETHYLENE COPOLYMER ELASTOMERS (E.G., ETHYLENE, PROPYLENE, 1,4-HEXADIENE COPOLYMERS) FROM THEIR SOLUTIONS IN SOLVENTS (E.G., HEXANE) BY HEATING UNDER PRESSURE TO A POINT WHERE TWO LIQUID PHASES FORM, THE BOTTOM PHASE CONTAINING MOST ALL THE ELASTOMER, DECANTING THE BOTTOM PHASE AND FLASHING OFF THE SOLVENT THEREFROM TO ISOLATE SOLVENT-FREE ELASTOMER. BLACK CAN BE INCORPORATED BY MIXING INTO SOLUTION BEFORE DECANTATION. IF PROCESSING OIL IS TO BE INCLUDED, IT IS MIXED IN AFTER DECANTATION BUT BEFORE FLASHING, WHEREAS IF BOTH BLACK AND OIL ARE TO BE INCLUDED, THEY ARE MIXED IN BEFORE DECANTATION.
摘要:
A thermoplastic elastomeric material comprising a hydrogenated copolymer of a conjugated diene characterised in that the copolymer before hydrogenation is a random copolymer of 70 to 99 mole % of at least one conjugated diene and 30 to 1 mole % of at least one vinyl aromatic compound, is of number average molecular weight of at least 100,000, and has a vinyl content of at most 40 mole % based on total monomers, and in that the copolymer is hydrogenated to an extent such that the mole percentage saturation is in the range 40 to 90%.
摘要:
The invention relates to the hydrogenation of an unsaturated elastomer in the presence of a catalyst which is the coordinating complex of cobaltous chloride and 1 to 8 molecules of lactam or another amide or urea reduced by a trialkyl or triaryl aluminum or a dialkyl or diaryl aluminum hydride.
摘要:
A PROCESS IS DISCLOSED FOR PREPARING A POLYMERIC LATEX FROM AN AQUEOUS EMULSION OF A SOLUTION OF A POLYMER WHEREIN THE EMULSION IS BROUGHT INTO CONTACT WITH A SOLID SUCH AS CURED AND CROSS-LINK 1,4,-CIS-POLYBUTADIENE IN A FORM WHICH PROVIDES A HIGH SURFACE/VOLUME RATIO SO THAT THE SOLVENT FOR THE POLYMER IS ADSORBED BY THE SOLID WHICH IS THEN REMOVED FROM THE RESULTING LATEX. THE PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT AT A TEMPERATURE WHICH IS BELOW THE BOILING POINT OF THE SOLVENT FOR THE POLYMER AND THE SOLID USED AS AN ADSORBENT IS COMPATIBLE WITH, BUT INSOLUBLE IN, THE SOLVENT FOR THE POLYMER AND IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THAT POLYMER.
摘要:
IN ORDWR TO ELIMINATE EVEN TRACES OF METALLIC AND/OR ACIDIC EITHER ACTUAL ACIDS OR LEWIS ACIDS IMPURITIES FROM HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT OLEFINIC OR DIOLEFINIC POLYMERS WHICH HAVE BEEN CATALYTICALLY POLYNERIZED USING AS A CATALYST SYSTEM A ZIEGLER-TYPE CATALYST AND WHICH CATALYSTS INTRODUCE METALLIC OR ACIDIC IMPURITIES, A SOLUTION OF THE IMPURE POLYMERS IS TREATED WITH ONE OF A VARIETY OF HYDROCARBON POLYMER MATERIALS HAVING DISTRIBUTED ALONG THE CHAINS THEREOF FUNCTIONAL GROUPS WHICH ARE LEWIS BASES (FOR EXAMPLE, ETHERS, THIOETHERS, TERTIARY AMINES, TERTIARY PHOSPHIDES, SIMPLE OR MULTIPLE HETEROCYCLIC MATERIALS CONTAINING OXYGEN, SULFUR, AND/OR NITROGEN ATOMS WITH ALL VALENCES SATURATED BY CARBON, ETC.) UNTIL THE IMPURITIES HAVE BEEB RETAINED (CHEMICALLY OR OTHERWISEE) BY THE LEWIS BASE MOIETY CONTAINING POLYMER ATERIAL, THE LEWIS BASE POLYMER MATERIAL IS THEN SEPARATED FROM THE PURIFIED POLYMER PRODUCT AND REGENERATED FOR TREATING THE ZIEGLER TYPE CATALYST CONTAINING POLYMER.
