Patent number: 6558761Abstract: Containers or linings formed from thermoplastic polymeric materials are provided which are suitable for use in transport and storage of aqueous oxidizing agents and the thermoplastic polymeric materials themselves. The thermoplastic polymeric materials such as polyethylene, forming the container or linings are stabilized against embrittlement caused by interaction with peracid solutions they contact by the incorporation of a thioether and preferably a hindered phenol anti-oxidant. The thioether particularly comprises additionally a hindered phenol and is, for example, a thiobisphenol. The stored peracid solutions exhibited improved storage stability. The containers or linings are particularly suitable for storing or transporting aqueous peracid solutions in locations enjoying relatively high ambient temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2000Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Solvay (Societe Anonyme)Inventors: Eric Vandevijver, Lesley A. Williams, Michel Lequeux, Michael E. Walton

Patent number: 5416189Abstract: Process for the synthesis of polyamides by polycondensation in a closed reactor of one or a number of dicarboxylic acids with a diamine compound containing not less than 60 mol % of-m-xylyenediamine, in which all the amount of diamine compound stoichiometrically necessary for the polycondensation reaction is quickly brought into contact with the molten acid, the temperature of the reaction mixture is raised to a value greater than the melting point of the polyamide produced, the pressure is only allowed to rise to a value sufficient to prevent solidification of the reaction mixture and a substantial loss of diamine compound and, at the end of the reaction, the pressure of the reaction mixture is reduced and the polyamide formed is recovered.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1993Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: Solvay (Societe Anonyme)Inventors: Eric Vandevijver, Fernand Gauthy, Ardechir Momtaz
