  • THERMOPLASTIC PANEL TO SHIFT PERCEPTION OF COLOR TEMPERATURE OF LIGHT EMITTING DIODES
    Publication number: 20170212286
    Abstract: Color temperature actually emitted by a light emitting diode (LED) is perceived by a viewer of that LED to be altered because of the placement of a passive color temperature-shifting panel between the viewer and the LED. The panel is colored in a manner to cause a perception of a shift from one color temperature of the light emitting diode to another color temperature of the light emitting diode in the absence of any electrochromic, photochromic, or thermochromic material in the panel.

  • High flow polyvinyl halide compound and methods of making and using same
    Patent number: 8575247
    Abstract: A high flow polyvinyl halide compound is disclosed. The compound employs conventional ingredients plus a combination of phosphite stabilizer and hydrotalcite stabilizer which improve the melt flow index of the compound by at least 20%, as compared with a compound without the two types of stabilizers. The dramatically improved melt flow allows a molding cycle time reduction by as much as 22% because of a five-fold reduction in the fill step.

  • Method of making molded articles
    Patent number: 8273283
    Abstract: A method of making a finely textured molded article is disclosed. The method utilizes properties of the compound being molded, such as impact toughness and melt flow index. Poly(vinyl halide), particularly polyvinyl chloride), articles can be custom-injection-molded using the method, in order to simulate the appearance of original metal, glass, or wood articles. Consumer, transportation, building construction, and other industries can benefit from durable plastic articles that simulate the more fragile articles.

  • Heat tolerant, optically clear CPVC and method of making same
    Patent number: 7943691
    Abstract: A high HDT CPVC compound that is optically clear is disclosed. The choice of CPVC resin, the use of external lubricants, and other optional ingredients achieves a threshold of optical clarity for the compound to be used to make optically clear articles via extrusion or molding. An optically clear CPVC industrial pipe is particularly useful for monitoring of fluid flow.
