Abstract:
A stabilized polyamide contains as stabilizers 0,5 to 2% by weight of hypophosphoric acid and/or a hypophosphate and 0,001 to 1% by weight of a water soluble cerium (III) salt and/or a water-soluble titanium (III) salt. Specified hydrophosphates are lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, barium, aluminium, cerium, thorium, copper, zinc, titanium, iron, nickel and cobalt hypophosphates. Specified water-soluble cerium (III) and titanium (III) salts are the chlorides, bromides, halides, sulphonates, formates and acetates. Specified polyamides are those derived from caprolactam, caprylic lactam, o -amino-undecanoic acid, the salts of adipic, suberic, sebacic or decamethylene dicarbonic acid with hexamethylene or decamethylene diamine, of heptane dicarboxylic acid with bis-(4-aminocyclohexyl)-methane, of tetramethylene diisocyanate and adipic acid and of aliphatic w-aminoalcohols and dicarboxylic acids each with 4 to 34 carbon atoms between the functional groups. The stabilizers may be added to the polyamides during or after the polycondensation reaction. Delustrants, e.g. cerium dioxide, titanium dioxide, thorium dioxide or ytrium trioxide may also be added to the polyamides. Examples (1) and (2) describe the polymerization of:-(1) hexamethylene diammonium adipate in the presence of disodium dihydrogen hypophosphate hexahydrate and (a) titanium (III) chloride hexahydrate, (b) cerium (III) chloride; (2) caprolactam in the presence of (a) thorium hypophosphate and titanium (III) chloride hexahydrate, whilst in Example (3) polycaprylic lactam is mixed with tetrasodium hypophosphate, titanium (III) acetate and titanium dioxide.
Abstract:
A resin composition for intake hoses is provided. The resin composition includes a predetermined amount of polyester elastomer incorporated into a polyamide resin and a polypropylene resin and further includes an antioxidant, a heat stabilizer, a lubricant and a master batch if necessary, thereby exhibiting excellent durability, heat resistance, elongation, mechanical rigidity, pressure resistance and cold resistance, and reducing weight and production costs.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a polymer composition containing a flame retardant. In particular, the invention provides a polymer composition containing poly(trimethylene terephthalate) and a flame retardant having a flame retardant component that melts at a temperature of equal to or below 280° C. The present invention also provides a process for producing such a composition, and materials incorporating such polymer compositions.
Abstract:
A one-pack type moisture curable urethane composition comprising a urethane prepolymer and an amine catalyst, wherein 0.002 to 50 parts by weight, based upon 100 parts by weight of the urethane prepolymer, of phosphonic ester compounds, phosphonous ester compounds, phosphinous ester compounds or phosphine compounds or any mixture thereof is compounded to give the urethane composition having an improved storage stability, without decreasing the catalyst activity even when an amine catalyst having a high catalytic activity dimethylamino group structure etc. is used.
