Exemplary of such compositions is 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-(1-cyanoethyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine. The compounds of the invention are useful as antioxidants for polyphenyl ethers, as stabilizers for halogenated polyhydrocarbons, as curing agents for silicones and epoxide resins, as dyeing improvers for polyesters and as fuel additives for imparting hypergolic properties.
Abstract:
Quaterpolymers are described which are composed of the following copolymerized monomer units (in mole %):(a) 55 to 30% of tetrafluoroethylene, (b) 60 to 40% of ethylene, (c) 10 to 1.5% of hexafluoropropylene and (d) 2.5 to 0.05% of a vinyl monomer which has "bulky" side chains and which can be, for example, a perfluorinated olefin, a perfluorinated vinyl ether, a perfluoroalkyl-substituted vinyl compound, a vinyl or allyl ether or an allyl or vinyl ester. The tensile strength and, in particular, the elongation at break at elevated temperatures is improved by the incorporation of both hexafluoropropylene and "bulky" vinyl monomers. The quaterpolymers are suitable for the manufacture of extruded articles, monofilaments and wire-coatings.
Abstract:
Tetrafluoroethylene, often obtained in industrial processes in admixture with nitrogen and/or carbon monoxide can be separated practically quantitatively by absorption in aliphatic hydrocarbons or aliphatic ketones boiling at a temperature in the range of from +50 to +130.degree. C at atmospheric pressure with subsequent desorption. A separation from three component mixtures is also possible. Components boiling at a temperature below the boiling point of tetrafluoroethylene, which are absorbed together with the tetrafluoroethylene, can be separated by known methods.
Abstract:
Novel granular, free-flowing, non-melt-fabricable raw polymer powders of tetrafluoroethylene polymers consisting of 0.004 to 0.075 mole % of polymerized units of a perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether and of tetrafluoroethylene units, are described. These powders have an average particle diameter of 450 to 1,400 .mu.m, a bulk density of at least 570 g/l, a powder flow index of .ltoreq.5 seconds/50 g and a grain stability of .ltoreq.5.5 seconds/50 g. They are prepared direct by suspension polymerizing TFE in the presence of the perfluoroalkyl ether, while stirring, the calculated concentration of the ether in the gas phase being kept within the range from 0.1 to 1.0% by volume in the period of time until 1.5% by weight of solid polymer have been formed, and the polymerization being carried out under a total pressure of 5 to 11 bars. A further improvement in bulk density, powder flow and grain stability is achieved if the intensity of stirring is kept at a relatively low level in a critical range, beginning at the formation of 1.5 to 3% by weight of solid polymer and extending to the formation of 8 to 12% by weight of solid polymer. The raw polymer powders which can be obtained in this manner are suitable, as such and without further pretreatment, for the production of ram-extruded articles of all types.
Abstract:
The separation of mixtures of hexafluoropropylene oxide and hexafluoropropylene is effected by extractive distillation in the presence of methylene chloride, whereby an excellent separating effect is achieved at a low energy consumption.
Abstract:
Stable aqueous, colloidal dispersions, having a high shear stability, of copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene, which may also contain at least one further comonomer, are described. Such dispersions are prepared in the presence of a mixture of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorononanoic or perfluorodecanoic acids or salts thereof.
Abstract:
An improved process for the preparation of aqueous, colloidal dispersions of copolymers comprising at most 60 mole % of units of tetrafluoroethylene, 60 to 40 mole % of units of ethylene and 0 to 15 mole % of units of at least one other .alpha.-olefinic monomer, which can be copolymerized with tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene, in the presence of manganese compounds as the catalyst is described. In this process, the emulsion polymerization is carried out in an aqueous phase in the presence (a) of a chain transfer agent of the formula X--CH.sub.2 --COOR (X=Cl, Br, COOH, COOR, COCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5 or C.sub.3 H.sub.7 ; and R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl), and (b) of a compound which stabilizes the dispersion and has the formula ##STR1## (Y=COONH.sub.4, COOH, CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 OH, CH.sub.2 COOH or CH.sub.2 COONH.sub.4). (b) can additionally contain an ammonium salt of an inorganic non-metal acid, for example ammonium chloride or fluoride. Terpolymers or quaterpolymers containing, in addition to tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene, preferably hexafluoropropylene and/or a "bulky" vinyl monomer as the third and/or fourth comonomer are preferably prepared. The copolymer dispersions thus prepared have very low coagulate contents and are very stable and the copolymers have melt flow indices most appropriate to the processing operations. They can be processed to coatings and shaped articles.
Abstract:
In a process for aftertreating thermally presintered polymers of tetrafluoroethylene the optionally comminuted powders are subjected, at temperatures below +80.degree. C., to the action of a gas jet mill. Preferred starting materials are tetrafluoroethylene polymers containing a small proportion of a modifying monomer. By the aftertreatment the bulk density and the flow index of the powders are considerably improved without a noticeable disintegration taking place. The aftertreated powders are used in the first place for the manufacture of shaped articles in extrusion devices with automatic feeding means.
