Patents by Inventor Benjamin Breitenstein

Benjamin Breitenstein has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8609807
    Abstract: The invention relates to a technically advantageous method of producing low-dust granules of polymer additives or polymer additive mixtures. The granule-forming polymer additives are mixed together, the mixture is converted into a workable mass and pressed through an orifice. The pre-shaped strand-like extruded mass is cooled and, while still in a workable state, formed into granules by rolling, impressing, cooling and comminuting.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6740694
    Abstract: A description is given of an extrusion process for the preparation of a low-dust stabiliser, using a subcooled melt as granulation liquid, as well as of novel amorphous modifications of different stabilisers, including 2,2′-methylenebis(4-[1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl]-6-benzotriazol-2-yl-phenol), and of the &bgr;-crystalline modification of 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole and of the preparation thereof. The novel process affords products which are easy to handle and which are flowable, and the novel modifications have advantages as regards their preparation, processing and their use as stabiliser.

  • Patent number: 5597857
    Abstract: Low-dust granules of plastic additives, comprising at least 10% by weight of calcium stearate, where the water content of the calcium stearate is less than 2%, having a particle size distribution, in accordance with ISO 3435, of from 1 mm to 10 mm, a loose bulk density of greater than 400 g/l and a flowability in accordance with DIN 53492 of less than 15 s (tR25), a process for their production, and the use of these granules for the stabilization of organic polymers.
