  • Low melt flow composition
    Publication number: 20050100744
    Abstract: A composition that includes a polyalphaolefin polymer and from about 20% by weight to about 70% by weight adsorbent, the composition being essentially free of a film forming agent.
    Type: Application

  • Pumpable desiccated mastic
    Patent number: 6112477
    Abstract: A pumpable, thermoplastic desiccated mastic capable of desiccating a sealed insulating glass unit. The disclosed compositions comprise a defined resin component and a desiccant/adsorbent component comprising at least 20% by weight of the composition of a desiccant or moisture and volatile organic chemical adsorbing material. The said desiccant/adsorbent component being present in an amount less than the level which will cause the composition when tested as set forth in ASTM D-1238, Procedure B using a 1100 gram load and an 8 gram sample at 190.degree. C. to provide a melt flow time for a piston travel of 2.54 cm(1 inch) of more than 60 seconds.

  • Pumpable desiccated mastic
    Patent number: 5632122
    Abstract: A pumpable, thermoplastic desiccated mastic capable of desiccating a sealed insulating glass unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Pumpable desiccated mastic
    Patent number: 5510416
    Abstract: A novel, pumpable, thermoplastic desiccated mastic capable of desiccating a sealed insulating glass unit. The compositions utilize adhesive materials which have a low vapor transmission rate but, nevertheless, have been found to effectively dry the air space in the unit. They do not contribute to chemical fogging and, in preferred embodiments, reduce or eliminate chemical fogging caused by other structures in the assembly. The compositions adhere well to the U-channel material and do not flow or sag under the normal range of service conditions encountered by an insulating glass assembly.
