Abstract:
The present invention is a polymeric composition comprising a polymer, a cathodic corrosion inhibitor, and an acidic corrosive reagent. The polymeric composition may further comprise a blowing agent and/or a second corrosion inhibitor. The present invention specifically also includes moisture-crosslinkable polymeric compositions. The moisture-crosslinkable compositions can be used as a coating and applied over a wire or a cable.
Abstract:
This invention relates to fabricated articles, including films or sheets prepared from blends of substantially random ethylene/propylene/vinyl aromatic monomer interpolymers with propylene homopolymers or copolymers. The fabricated articles exhibit high toughness, tensile properties and heat resistance and low stress whitening, and further can exhibit desirable optical properties, especially when in the form of a film or sheet.

Abstract:
This invention pertains to a composition and a process for preparing a closed cell alkenyl aromatic polymer foam having enlarged cell size, comprising one or more alkenyl aromatic polymers, one or more substantially random interpolymers, one or more blowing agents having zero ozone depletion potential and optionally one or more co-blowing agents, and optionally, one or more nucleating agents and optionally, one or more other additives. This combination allows the manufacture of closed cell, low density alkenyl aromatic polymer foams of enlarged cell size, when blowing agents of relatively high nucleation potential are employed. When such blowing agents are used with alkenyl aromatic polymers in the absence of the substantially random interpolymers, small cell foams result.
Abstract:
Optical cable components fabricated from an extrudable polymeric blend of crystalline polypropylene modified with one or more impact-modifying polymers. The impact-modifying polymers are selected from an olefin multi-block interpolymer, an olefin block composite, and combinations thereof. Optionally, the polymeric blend can further comprise an elastomer other than the impact-modifying polymer. The polymeric blend may also contain one or more additives. The optical fiber cable components can be selected from buffer tubes, core tubes, and slotted core tubes.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to plasticizer compositions. A composition is provided which includes a castor-free acetylated glyceride of 12-hydroxystearic acid (AGHA) having a hydroxyl number from 0 to less than 15. The castor-free AGHA finds application in coatings for wire and cable.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to acetylated castor components and compositions including the same. The acetylated castor component may be an acetylated castor oil and/or an acetylated castor wax. The acetylated castor component may be blended with an epoxidized fatty acid ester. The present acetylated castor components and blends find advantageous application as a plasticizer.
Abstract:
Polymer compositions comprise a (i) silane-fknctionalized polymer, e.g., a polyethylene grafted with vinyl triethoxy silane, (H) polyfunctional alcohol e.g., α,α,α',α'~ tetramethyl-I,3-benzenediethanol and, optionally, (iii) acid, e.g., an alkylated aryl disulfonic acid. The use of polyfunctional alcohols in the absence of a strong acid yields a light- crosslinking of the silane-functionalized polymer and this, in turn, provides a polymer melt with improved extensional properties such as elongational viscosity and melt strength. The use of a polyfunctional alcohol in combination with a blocked strong acid provides a slow rate of crosslinking during melt processing and a high degree of ultimate crosslinking after the polymer composition has been shaped or molded.
Abstract:
Thermally activated, free-radical initiator-containing polymer compositions comprise a (i) free radical initiator, (ii) free radical crosslinkable polymer, (iii) scorch inhibiting amount and/or a cure-boosting amount of at least one of isocyanate, diisocyanate, e.g., MDI, or hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate compound, e.g., hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, and, optionally, (iv) other scorch retardants and/or cure boosters, e.g., a TEMPO compound, a hindered phenol, alpha-methyl styrene dimer, etc.. The free radical initiator can be any thermally activated compound that is relatively unstable and easily breaks into at least two radicals, e.g., a peroxide or azo initiator. The crosslinkable polymer is a thermoplastic and/or elastomeric polymer that can be crosslinked (cured) through the action of a crosslinking agent, e.g., LDPE. The isocyanate, diisocyanate and (meth)acrylate scorch inhibitors and/or cure boosters can be used alone, or in combination with one another, or, optionally, in combination with a TEMPO compound, e.g., 4-hydroxy-TEMPO.
