摘要:
Disclosed is a carbonate polymer composition comprising (a) a carbonate polymer having a weight average molecular weight of from about 20,000 to about 40,000 and (b) from greater than about 0.1 to less than about 1.0 weight percent (based on carbonate polymer composition weight) low volatility aromatic phosphate ester compound, and optionally (c) from about 0.001 to about 0.1 weight percent (based on carbonate polymer compositions weight) of an alkali metal salt having a pH of at least about 7. Preferably the low volatility aromatic phosphate ester is selected from the group of aromatic phosphate ester oligomer compounds or haloaryl phosphate compounds. It has been found to be preferable to use a low volatility aromatic phosphate ester which experiences a weight loss of no more than 5 weight percent at 250.degree. C. when heated to a temperature of 500.degree. C. in a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at a heating rate of 20.degree. C. per minute, more preferably no more than 40 percent at 300.degree. C. It has been found that these compositions surprisingly achieve the Underwriters Laboratory (UL-94) V-2 rating without significantly sacrificing the otherwise good combinations of properties of carbonate polymer resins.
摘要:
A blended composition containing polycarbonate and polyester and/or an acrylate polymer, modified with poly(tetrafluoroethylene), an organophosphorous compound and an aromatic halogenated carbonate oligomer to obtain ignition resistance properties, and, optionally, an elastomeric impact modifier.
摘要:
A process for dispersing one or more powdered ignition resistant or flame retardant additives into carbonate polymers which comprises the steps of preparing a base concentrate having about 5 to about 50 weight per cent of said additives by blending said additives with a carbonate polymer having a melt flow rate from about 3 to about 20, pelletizing said base concentrate having said ignition resistant additive dispersed therein, dry blending said concentrate pellets with carbonate pellets having a melt flow rate from about 1 to about 80 whereby said polymer/concentrate blend has an amount of said additive dispersed therein effective to render said blend ignition resistant, and pelletizing or molding said carbonate polymer/concentrate blend. The use of this method gives ignition resistant carbonate polymers with improved impact properties as measured by Izod impact tests.
摘要:
A composition of matter, being an admixture of polycarbonate and an aliphatic thio compound, molded articles of which release cleanly from, and without adhesion to, a mold.
摘要:
Disclosed is a polymer blend composition containing a branched aromatic carbonate polymer and a rubber-modified monovinylidene aromatic copolymer comprising a star-branched rubber and optionally, a linear rubber. The polymer blend compositions according to the invention have a desirable balance of processability and when molded, impact strength.
摘要:
A polycarbonate blend composition with a good balance of high impact resistance, moldability, and controllable gloss with reduced tendencies of pearlescence or delamination in molded articles is prepared by admixing with polycarbonate a substantially linear ethylene polymer or linear ethylene polymer, an olefinic epoxide-containing copolymer, and a polyester.
摘要:
An ignition resistant carbonate polymer composition comprising a mixture of one or more carbonate polymers, and a high elastic memory polytetrafluoroethylene having a heat shrinkage equal to or greater than 15% with or without one or more organo phosphorous compounds.
摘要:
Ultra violet light resistant polycarbonates are produced having processing or heat stability by adding compatible UV absorbing compounds and aromatic sulfonimides. The UV absorbing compounds are used in amounts from about 0.01 to about 5.0% by weight and the sulfonimides are used in an amount from about 0.0001 to about 10.0%. The preferred UV absorber is 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-t-octylphenyl)-benzotriazole. The preferred sulfonimide is N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-p-toluenesulfonimide.
摘要:
Flame retardant carbonate polymers containing an aromatic sulfimide, a monomeric or polymeric halogenated organic compound, a metal sulfate having a pka from 1 to 5 and a fibril forming polytetrafluoroethylene as additives in effective amounts give carbonate polymers that are not only flame retardant but are melt stable i.e. show little loss in molecular weight during processing or melt shearing.
