Abstract:
The invention concerns highly dispersible powders based on carboxylated butadiene-containing copolymers of styrene and/or acrylonitrile, the films of these powders drawn from the redispersion displaying high tensile strength. According to the invention, the latices are atomized with mixtures of atomizing aids consisting of between 1 and 15 wt % of a salt of alkylated di-phenyl-ether-di-sulphonic acid, caseinate and/or N-alkylsulphosuccinamide and/or with between 1 and 20 wt % of a di- or tetra-sodium or potassium salt of an addition product of N-alkyl-sulphosuccinamates with maleic acid in a mixture with polyvinylalcohol. The dispersions can predominantly be used in the construction industry and are alternatives to the copolymers based on polyvinylacetates and acrylates.
Abstract:
An alkylated porous resin having a specific surface area of 50 to 600 m /g, obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising, based on the total weight of monomers, 15 to 97 % by weight of divinylbenzene, 0 to 82 % by weight of at least one aromatic vinyl monomer selected from among styrene, methylstyrene and ethylvinylbenzene and 3 to 50 % by weight of a vinylbenzyloxyalkane of general formula (1) wherein n is an integer of 1 to 18. By varying the chain length of the alkyl group, this resin can have its functions fully exerted on the basis of the variation of chemical and structural environments of the surface thereof.
Abstract:
Primary polymer particles having a size at least 90 % below 10 mu m and which contain water-soluble and water-insoluble polymer are made by reverse phase polymerisation of a water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer or monomer blend with cross-linking agent, and the emulsion is then spray-dried to form spray-dried granules which disintegrate upon addition to water, thereby forming an aqueous composition of the insoluble particles having activity similar to the starting emulsion. This aqueous composition of insoluble particles is particularly useful for flocculation, for instance, flocculation of sewage sludge followed by centrifugation or belt pressing, or for viscosification.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of powder compositions, containing organosilicon compounds and redispersible in water, by spray drying of an aqueous mixture containing one or a plurality of organosilicon compounds and one or a plurality of water-soluble organopolymers in the presence of antiblocking agents. The invention is characterised in that a portion of the antiblocking agent is fed at the same time as the aqueous mixture but separately therefrom into the upper section of the dryer and the remainder of the antiblocking agent is conveyed to the dried powder stream, as long as it is still suspended in the stream of gas, or the remainder of the antiblocking agent is added to the dried powder.
Abstract:
A granulated powder of filled PTFE for molding which exhibits a high apparent density and a low quantity of electrification, is excellent in the fluidity in a powdery state, and can give molded articles not lowered in tensile strength and elongation and little suffering from discoloration due to surfactants; and a process for the production thereof. 100 parts by weight of a mixture comprising powdered PTFE and a filler is wetted with 30 to 60 parts by weight of an aqueous solution containing an anionic surfactant; in a concentration of 10 or more but less than 40 times the critical micelle concentration, and the resulting wet mixture is granulated by a mechanical force.
Abstract:
A granular powder of filled PTFE which has a high apparent density, a small mean particle diameter and a sharp particle size distribution, is excellent in the fluidity in a powdery state and can give molded articles being excellent in tensile strength and elongation and having low surface roughness; and a process for the production thereof. Powdered PTFE is mixed with a filler in water in the presence of a surfactant in a slurry state, and the resulting mixture is agitated in the presence of an organic liquid forming a liquid-liquid interface together with water to thereby conduct granulation.

A filled PTFE granular powder which has a high apparent density, a small mean particle diameter and a sharp particle size distribution, is excellent in fluidity, and can give molded articles excellent in tensile strength, elongation and surface roughness; and a process for the production thereof. In granulating a mixture comprising powdery PTFE and a filler by agitation in water, the agitation is conducted in the presence of both an organic liquid forming a liquid-liquid interface with water and a nonionic surfactant to thereby granulate the mixture.
Abstract:
A process for producing a polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter abbreviated to "PTFE") molding powder comprising fine grinding of coarse PTFE particles in a wet state, which permits washing of PTFE in a finely ground state and efficient reduction in the impurity content of PTFE, and another process therefor by agglomerating and granulating the above finely ground and washed PTFE particles, which permits the production of a PTFE powder in less process steps. The former process is characterized in that coarse PTFE particles prepared by suspension polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene are finely ground in a wet state to form fine particles particularly having a mean particle diameter of 10 to 100 mu m and and thereafter the resulting fine particles are washed, while the latter process is characterized in that the washed fine PTFE particles are agglomerated and granulated in a wet state by application of a mechanical force to form particles having a mean particle diameter of 200 to 800 mu m.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of electrostatically charged particles of a high resistivity material which process comprises incorporating a unipolar charge into the material at a temperature at or above the glass transition temperature thereof or above the melting point thereof, the said unipolar charge being incorporated into the bulk of the material and the charged material being subsequently comminuted, or the said charge being incorporated into the material whilst forming particles thereof.
Abstract:
Polytetrafluoroethylene powder for molding, which contains 0.01-1 wt.% of perfluorovinyl ether units, has a heat of crystallization of 18.0-25.0 J/g, and provides a molded article having a bending life of 7 million cycles or above, a creep resistance (at 200 °C, total deformation) of 20 % or less, and a creep resistance (at 25 °C, total deformation) of 15 % or less. The powder is excellent in both creep resistance and bending fatigue resistance required of a molding material for the parts of a machine subjected to repeated bending, such as a pump.
