The relative ratio of (1) the thermoplastic resin to (2) the modified polyacetal is such that the former/the latter equals about 1/99 through 99/1 (by weight).Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1996Date of Patent: December 22, 1998Assignee: Polyplastics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kanai, Hajime Serizawa, Mitsunori Matsushima

Patent number: 5703159Abstract: Resins having a group reactive with an isocyanate group on a side chain are modified with isocyanatosiloxanes. In one form, the isocyanatosiloxane is a single end isocyanatosiloxane obtained by effecting addition reaction between a single end hydrogenosiloxane and an isocyanate group-containing organic silicon compound having one isocyanate group and at least one aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon group. A single end isocyanatosiloxane obtained by introducing an isocyanate group into a single end primary aminosiloxane is also useful. In another form, the isocyanatosiloxane is a polyfunctional isocyanatosiloxane which is obtained by effecting addition reaction between a hydrogenosiloxane having at least two SiH groups and an isocyanate group-containing organic silicon compound having one isocyanate group and one aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon group.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 1995Date of Patent: December 30, 1997Assignee: Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shoji Ichinohe, Toshio Yamazaki, Akira Yamamoto

Patent number: 5693709Abstract: Polyoxymethylene with improved acid stability, process for production and use thereof. By adding 0.01 to 5 parts of an alkali metal salt of a polybasic acid, for example oxalic acid, citric acid and/or 0.01 to 5 parts of a polyalkylene glycol, for example polyethylene glycol and/or 0.1 to 100 parts of a thermoplastic polyurethane, each related to 100 parts of a polyoxymethylene, this polymer is stabilized against attack by acids, wherein in particular the combination of an alkali metal salt, in particular an oxalate, with small proportions of a thermoplastic polyurethane is advantageous. The proportion of thermoplastic polyurethane may be reduced when the thermoplastic polyurethane has a Shore A hardness of 70 to 96. The weight loss of a stabilized POM under the action of acid may be less than 3% of that of an unstabilized POM. The products are useful when exposed to acidic agents such as irrigation systems, dishwashers, sanitary installations.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1996Date of Patent: December 2, 1997Assignee: Degussa AktiengesellschaftInventors: Edwin Nun, Stephanie Schauhoff, Detlef Arnoldi
