Abstract: Powdery coating agent, suitable for application in the in-mould coating technique, comprising as the main component, besides a curing catalyst and if desired other additives, a crystalline unsaturated polyester with a melting point of at least 40.degree. C., a degree of unsaturation of between 1 and 5 moles unsaturation per 1000 g polyester and a viscosity in the melt at 120.degree. C. of at least 1 dPa.s.

Abstract: Polymers containing organotin compounds having advantageous use as paint binders obtained by reacting a cyclized rubber with organotin compounds of the formula R.sub.3 --Sn--O--Z wherein R represents a hydrocarbon group from 1 to 15 carbon atoms and Z is a phenolate group derived from a phenolic compound having from 6 to 15 carbon atoms. In marine applications paints incorporating such polymers remain un-fouled after extended use and are self-polishing. Such polymers are obtained by reacting cyclized rubber and an organotin compound at an elevated temperature in an inert solvent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of an object from a granular ABS polymer composition, said composition comprising a mixture ofI 10-98 parts by weight of one or more graft copolymers obtained by polymerizing a mixture of one or more unsaturated nitriles and one or more vinylaromatic compounds in the presence of a rubber.II 2-90 parts by weight of a copolymer of one or more unsaturated nitriles and one or more vinylaromatic compounds, andIII 0-20 parts by weight of one or more additives, wherein the polymer composition is melted, homogenized, and extruded or injection molded into an object.To improve the flow properties of the mixture introduced into the processing equipment and the throughput of this equipment the invention is characterized in that the ratio between the average particle size (by weight) of the copolymer II to the average particle size (by weight) of the graft copolymer I exceeds 1.5.
