Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for working additives into polymers, in which a mixture of thermoplastics with additives is heated to a temperature sufficient for the melting process, with the possible introduction of an expanding agent into the melt in which the expanding agent is homogenized, the melt being cooled if necessary to a temperature at which it can be extruded in the form of a foam plastic, the additives being adsorbed on a polymer flocculent matrix having a sufficient specific area, due to having a density of up to 0.6 g/cm.sup.3 and 15 to 99% of open foam cells and being of the same or different polymer composition as the basic polymer.

Abstract:
Polyurethane plastics are dyed with dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 denotes hydrogen, halogen, optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy and optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylcarbonylamino and R.sub.2 denotes hydrogen, optinally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, while A and B denote optionally branched alkylene chains which can be identical or different and preferably have 2 to 6 carbon atoms, with formation of covalent bonds, in that the dyestuffs are added before or during the polyaddition reaction to the reacton mixture of polyol and polyisocyanate or to one of the components.
Abstract:
A dispersion of one or more additives to be used in the processing of olefin polymers or copolymers, said dispersion comprising nonextruded particles of olefin polymers containing at least two immiscible polyolefinic phases and having internal voids partially or totally filled by the said additive or additives.
Abstract:
Foamed polymer-fiber composites, building materials and methods of making such building materials are provided by this invention. The composites include about 35-75 wt. % of a polymeric resin, about 25-65 wt. % fiber and have a specific gravity of less than about 1.25 g/cc. The low density is provided by the introduction of a blowing agent or gas into a molten precursor of the composite during thermo forming, such as in an extrusion operation.

The present invention relates to a plastic article formed from several foamed thermoplastic elastomers, such as a thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer based on polypropylene and a vulcanized elastomer at least one of an elastomeric styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene block copolymer, an elastomeric styrene/butadiene/styrene block copolymer, a thermoplastic elastomer based on polypropylene and an elastomeric styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene block copolymer and a thermoplastic elastomer based on polypropylene and an elastomeric styrene/butadiene/styrene block copolymer. The present invention further provides plastic articles based on a blend of thermoplastic elastomers and thermoplastic elastomer olefins. The invention further provides a process for making these articles.
Abstract:
Microsphere beads are mixed with a surface barrier liquid or mixture of such a liquid with a solid effective to prevent agglomeration and surface bonding of the microspheres; by the control of the application of heat and balancing temperature and active mixing, removal of water from the microspheres is achieved.The surface barrier liquid or mixture of such a liquid with a solid in the present invention is any one of a wide diversity of materials which meet the requirements of the intended function, i.e., to prevent the agglomeration of the microspheres during the process. Suitable materials include, by way of example, plasticizers, diluents, extenders, monomers and oligomers, and the like.
Abstract:
Microsphere wet cake is mixed with a surface barrier coating effective to prevent agglomeration and surface bonding of the microspheres, and removing water by drying with continuous mixing at high shear. In a subsequent step, by the control of the application of heat and balancing temperature and low shear mixing, it is possible to also control expansion of the microspheres.The surface barrier coating in the present invention is any one of a wide diversity of materials which meet the requirements of the intended function, i.e., to prevent the agglomeration of the microspheres during the process. Suitable materials include, by way of example, dry inorganic pigments or filler materials, and the like, and related organic materials.
Abstract:
A mixing method and apparatus for preparing multi-component plastic materials, especially polyurethanes, which are mixed before being fed into a mold. According to the invention, a first and at least a second main component are mixed by feeding them into a limited area of a mixing chamber through lateral inlet apertures symmetrically arranged with respect to a plane comprising the longitudinal axis of the chamber and in which a third or secondary component to be mixed is fed through a channel, opening in the chamber upstream of said inlet apertures and orientated so as to direct the flow of the third or secondary component towards said mixing area in the direction of flow of the mixture. A control member is moved toward an advanced position so that it closes the inlet apertures to interrupt feeding of the first and second main components and a coloring agent through respective inlet apertures after a mixing operation.
