Abstract:
Volatile substances in polyphenylene ether or polyphenylene ether/polystyrene compositions are substantially reduced by extruding the resins in a single pass using a plurality of stages comprising water injection and vacuum venting.

Abstract:
Low odor polyphenylene ether/polystyrene resins are produced in a process by solution blending low odor polyphenylene ether and polystyrene resins and passing the solution through devolatilizers prior to recovery.
Abstract:
The invention relates to coating formulations comprising (i) a silicone-based coating component susceptible to misting under mist-producing conditions; and (ii) an anti-misting amount of a branched polysiloxane component resulting from copolymerizing under hydrosilylation conditions a component mixture comprising (a) one or more organosilicon compounds containing at least two unsaturated hydrocarbon functional groups per molecule, and (b) one or more silylhydride-containing compounds containing at least two silylhydride functional groups per molecule, with the provision that (i) at least one component (a) or (b) contains at least three functional groups per molecule; (ii) a component (a) or (b) having a higher number of functional groups per molecule is present in a molar amount equal to or lower than a molar amount of the other component (a) or (b) having a lower number of functional groups per molecule; and (iii) unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds are excluded from the component mixture. The invention also relates to a process for coating a substrate with the above coating formulation, as well as hardened silicone-based coatings or films obtained by subjecting the coated substrate to one or more curing steps.

Abstract:
A process for the continuous production of silylated prepolymer includes continuously introducing a predetermined quantity of a polyol into at least one reaction zone; continuously introducing a silylating agent into the at least one reaction zone; continuously reacting the polyol under reaction conditions of temperature and time sufficient to produce a silylated prepolymer resin; and, continuously removing the silylated prepolymer resin from the at least one reaction zone.

Abstract:
Odoriferous by-product compounds, e.g. 2,4,6-trimethylanisole, are reduced in a process for the production of polyphenylene ether resin in liquid aromatic hydrocarbon solution by continuously distilling and recycling the aromatic hydrocarbon solvent.
