摘要:
A multi stage process for the production of polycarbonates having low monomer content is disclosed. The process entails, in sequence, (i) transesterifying in the melt at least one dihydroxyaryl compound with at least one diaryl carbonate in the presence of at least one onium catalyst to produce a polycondensate that contains monomers, (ii) introducing into the polycondensate an inhibitor in an hypostoichiometric amount in relation to the catalyst and (iii) reducing in a finishing reactor the content of monomers in said polycondensate. The polycarbonate thus produced is characterized in that it contains less than 350 ppm of diphenyl carbonate, less than 40 ppm of 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and less than 150 ppm of phenol.
摘要:
An improvement to the melt transesterification process for the preparation of polycarbonate is disclosed. The improvement entails adding to the process between its medium viscosity reactor and a high viscosity reactor at least one bridged ester of organic sulphur-containing acid.
摘要:
A process for stripping volatile constituents from polymer melts is disclosed. The process entails introducing the polymer melt into a horizontally oriented cylindrical device that contains a plurality of perforated disks rotating about a common horizontally oriented, externally driven shaft bringing the melt and disks into contact in a manner calculated to constantly renew the surface of the melt to be stripped. Also disclosed is an apparatus suitable for the process.
摘要:
An optical data storage comprising a thermoplastic copolycarbonate is disclosed. The copolycarbonate contains at least one unit derived from dihydroxydiphenyl ether and at least one unit derived from at least one member selected from the group consisting of 4,4′dihydroxybiphenyl and 1,1-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane.
摘要:
The invention describes a process for the preparation of polycarbonate. The process includes (a) transesterifying at least one aromatic dihydroxyaryl compound and a diaryl carbonate in the melt in the presence of a catalyst, (b) mixing the melt obtained in step (a) with a foaming agent (c) passing the mixture at 250 to 340° C. through inlet openings of a separating vessel at a rate of 0.1 to 20 kg/hour, to obtain a plurality of streams of foamed polycarbonate and degassing the streams of foamed polycarbonate in the separating vessel wherein the pressure is 0.1 to 20 mbar.
摘要:
A multilayer product characterized by its improved weatherability and mechanical properties is disclosed. The product contains a layer A containing a member selected from the group consisting of transparent thermoplastic material and a lacquer, the member containing at least one UV absorber, a layer B containing a transparent thermoplastic material and containing at least one colorant, and a layer C containing a transparent thermoplastic material. Also disclosed is a process for the preparation of the inventive multilayer product.
摘要:
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising polycarbonate and 50 ppm to 300 ppm, in relation to the weight of the composition, of diphenyl carbonate is disclosed. The composition is especially suitable for the preparation of extruded sheets, in particular coextruded.
