Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing thermoplastic fibres having reduced surface tension and also to products obtainable by the melt-spinning process from these thermoplastic fibres having reduced surface tension, wherein the thermoplastic to be used is admixed with a copolymer of at least one ?-olefin and at least one acrylic or methacrylic ester of an aliphatic alcohol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for coating substrates with polyamides by the use of nanoscale particles with coating rates of at least 250 m/min, as a result of which “edge waving” and “neck-in” are prevented.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for producing blown films is disclosed. The apparatus includes arranged in sequence an extruder equipped with an annular die, an annular cooling unit, a suction device and the flattening unit. In an additional embodiment of the invention a sizing unit is positioned between the cooling unit and the flattening unit. The apparatus is suitable for the preparation of blown films of improved quality.

Abstract: The invention relates to thermoplastic molding materials that are produced from a mixture containing an aliphatic polyanmide and/or copolyamide, fillers and reinforcement agents, bifunctional or multifunctional additives that induce branching and/or polymer chain extension, a modifier and other additives that do not induce branching and/or polymer chain extension.
